Hmm well dynamic could be the culprit then indeed. And that won't really have anything to do with the 2nd thread being disabled, but perhaps because the worksize is constantly changing, it might not be offsetting the right amount and repeating work. That will need fixing...

Kernel is "phatk120213.cl"
I didn't specify vectors or worksize but based bin file name I am guessing this is vector 2, work size 128
"phatk120213Cypressbitalignv2w128long4.bin"
Interesting, I can't reproduce it here, but can you try starting with -k poclbm just to see if it goes away?I didn't specify vectors or worksize but based bin file name I am guessing this is vector 2, work size 128
"phatk120213Cypressbitalignv2w128long4.bin"
Tried poclbm. Both kernels had the same high reject "duplicate work" and the rate is very high 5% to 10%. Interestingly I noticed I had left both GPUs dynamic and 2nd thread is disabled for dymamic GPUs. This is the first version I remember using which had this I thought it might be relevent. I switched them both to intensity 9 and the issue has gone away ... so far. It has gone 88 shares without a reject. I'll run 1000 or so shares and give an update and then reboot and try dynamic again.

Interesting. It is only recently that cgminer has been reporting the reject reason. This is the same GPU each time as well, which suggests more a bug in the (new) kernel code rather than from the pool. This may be related to vectors code. What kernel is in use on this and are vectors enabled? I'm guessing poclbm+2 vectors on the GPU in question.
Which one is default?
I have to check.Quote
Further question: You're not using old kernels or kernel bins just renamed are you?
No this is actually a clean install of OS, drivers, SDK, cgminer.

Has anyone else been noticing rejects due to "duplicate work"? Never seen them before and now I get a whole bunch 
Just recently upgraded to cgminer 2.2.5 so maybe that has something to do with it
It might be the pool but I am only seeing it on the rig running 2.2.5 (11.2 driver, 2.5 SDK)
Normally have about 0.2% reject rate on this one rig I am hitting >5% and 98 or 99 are duplicate work errors.

cgminer mines fine on nvidia (if not the fastest)
python-pyopencl is the package you need on ubuntu
cgminer -n shows this:
[2012-02-14 13:27:59] CL Platform 0 vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
[2012-02-14 13:27:59] CL Platform 0 name: NVIDIA CUDA
[2012-02-14 13:27:59] CL Platform 0 version: OpenCL 1.1 CUDA 4.1.1
Presumably the most basic of cuda tools will work also on windows.

If you know of a more appropriate CUDA miner, I'd love to hear about it!
rpcminer-cuda is the only CUDA miner, I think.But rpcminer doesn't support longpolling or any other advanced features.
OpenCL miners are a little bit slower.
Does it or Did it? I see no references anymore to NVidia or CUDA on the top post.

I have a question regarding the SDKs..
For HD5xxx users the SDK 2.1 is the fastest and I would like to use it.
Does it already contain all the functions we need for CGMINER, supporting GPUClock, Memory and Fan settings?
Is this related to SDK or driver version?
Driver has those functions. 11.6 or greater driver. SDK 2.1 should be fine. For HD5xxx users the SDK 2.1 is the fastest and I would like to use it.

Always look in the mining software threads top post for the download links and latest version information.
Sam
Sam
Yeah, I did. There appears to be an error on the project page.
It shows info for version 0.25, but when you download and run it, it's actually 0.27.
Thanks to everyone for the tips and help.
I'm up and running on P2Pool with Ufaminer right now.
I'm hashing faster than ever (~150Mh/s) and no stales so far.
I'll be back to cgminer as soon as I get my grubby mitts on a decent AMD card.

It seems to me that if I were going to mine with an NVida card with the CUDA stuff already installed I would use a mining program that was built for that purpose, until I got a my AMD GPU that is.
Sam
Sam
I agree completely, is there one?
I have guiminer, but can't find a way to get it working with P2Pool, and I think that's the right pool for the future of BTC.

Your making me look like I'm plugging someone else miner on the CGMiner list. I'm really not trying to do that!!!! I'm just trying to get you mining. I don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a shot.
Sam
I read through the the Ufssoft thread, but there doesn't seem to be any lilnks to the 0.27 version for windows, only 0.25.
I'll give it a shot.
Don't feel like you're directing me away from cgminer. I'll be back on it as soon as I get my AMD card!
I tried the CUDA SDK files, they made to difference. cgminer still crashes the GPU driver upon launch.

...
I see a bunch of stuff about SDKs flaoting around. Do I need to do anything with that or does that only apply to Linux/AMD/whatever?
That applies to mining ...I see a bunch of stuff about SDKs flaoting around. Do I need to do anything with that or does that only apply to Linux/AMD/whatever?
Again, I have no idea about nVidia and CUDA but I even typed your google search for you and found this page:
http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
No idea if you need something else to mine, but no doubt the fact that your NON-ATI miner doesn't work at all probably means you are missing something to make it work ... and at a wild guess it may be that? (I don't know)
Thanks for doing that search for me, I don't think I'd have ever thought to search for that particular string.
I'd downloading the GPU compuing SDK and the CUDA toolkit. They're massive downloads, about a gig between the 2.
It seems odd to me that we'd need development tools to run miners, but I guess I'll add that to the list of things I don't understand about mining! lol
