Hi im new to bit mining and i am running dual MSI 6990s and they run at 333.33 mhash/sec per GPU which gives me the total of 1332 MHASH/SEC. Is this normal?? I want to try an overclock it as well, can anyone give me tips on how to do that and what rate should i be going at per card or per GPU?? Huh

oh btw im also running my SAPPHIRE 5770 1GB on another computer and it only gives me 125.66 mhash/sec. On the wiki it saids i should be going at 156.83 at core of 850. what am i doing wrong?

I have been using Phoenix solo for a few days now with a decent hasrate. I finaly got 1 accepted and I thought that would mean that I finaly solved a block. However nothing ever showed up in the bitcoin client and there is still zero in the rejected.

 Is there some other possibility I am missing?

The Bitcoin client doesn't show generated blocks at all until after 2 confirmations. I don't know why this is. You've probably already seen it appear by now.

I have 2 machines running 2 HD6990 each with driver 11.5 and SDK 2.4 in Ubuntu 11.04

I run ./phoenix.py -u http://user.worker@pool.com:port/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false BFI_INT

I've tried different AGGRESSION values, tried with and without FASTLOOP and VECTORS and BFI_INT but it doesn't seem to get any better than this. Agression 13 makes the machines feel slow. Haven't tried higher.

CPU load is 100% when mining.
GPU Temperatures are around 80-90 degrees.

I should be able to get 350-375 MHash/sec per worker, right? What should I do to get this?

Have you tried phatk kernel (-k phatk)?
Also try to underclock memory. It will decrease overall temp giving you the possibility to increase your gpu clocks a little bit. And also it should enhance mhash/s performance.

Looks like nothing much to worry about, but maybe it can help you trace some bugs or something.
Pool is deepbit.net, -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=12
Card's 5770 950/309.

My hashrate is waaaayy too low for my cards. I need some help getting them to work like they should!

Your pool is down. Go seek help with the pool operator.

And post a message to the author of Phoenix.  It shouldn't be faulting like that [it rarely continues after such a stack trace is dumped to the console and it, at least for me, has continued to consume ~50% of my GPU doing only God knows what], instead, it should be handling such scenarios gracefully [and perhaps shut itself down].

5850 will not exceed 150W with a mild oc (not above 800MHz). i had 2x5850 with a 500W PSU for a while, ofcourse my rig is a dedicated one with a single core Sempron, 1GB ram , one 2.5" disk, etc
before any format make sure you have uninstalled all the ATI drivers and sdk and install only the full catalyst 11.3 or 11.5 with _ocl.
nothing more, i think you will be ok Wink
reinstalled, in several ways
using the sdk from catalyst
using 2.2
using 2.4
using kernel 1.6
kernel1.8.

it seems i will have to format :S

Use driver sweeper from http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.html & remove all the AMD drivers.
Also, after removing go to safe mode & run again. which will remove every instance of AMD driver.
Then install fresh one. Go for latest 11.5 & 2.4 & instead of express install, go for custom install & ONLY install these 3,
ATI display driver, ATI catalyst install manager, APP 2.4 & if needed vc++.
You will be able to mine with out formating.

Also, don't use askrate & worksize for now.


THANKS A LOT

had to uninstall using both the driver sweeper, and using the catalyst setup, then i installed 11.5 the way you said and now it seems to work Cheesy

Nice, after some time, send me some bitcoins.
Also for CPU usage try this.

Oh, actually, I found the answer on the second page.

As for askrate, it's not necessary with Phoenix because it maintains a work queue and only requests work when needed. Phoenix also ignores the askrate setting automatically for RPC servers with long polling support.

I use deepbit.net (RPC+LP), so it makes changing the askrate setting pointless, as I see.

I'm sorry, which askrate is used by default? I have 5770 and would like to know if I should set it by myself.

Thanks!

Using: -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=13 on a single 5830 and get 312MH/sec
 Grin

I have always found phatk to be slower.  Why did you choose to use it?  Also, why WORKSIZE=256?  I have also found 128 to be faster on the 58xx and 69xx series.

I am using poclbm at the moment getting 0.2% stale rate [not using BTCMine at the moment though].

I have 7 different computers running 5830s and 256 gives about 5m more than 128.  I run mine at 975 clock, 300 memory and I get about 300MH/sec.

I love these 5830s only cost $100 but can push out 300MH/sec!

i found that using phatk gives me 25MH/s more on a 5870 and 4 more on a 4850 than using poclbm. also using bigger worksize helps with mh/s - with poclbm mh/s 's dont change with worksize change but on phatk i can use 256 for a 10 percent increase. same with 4850.

hopes this helps

donate if you feel like it Smiley

I got my issues with the 4870x2 resolved by updating to catalyst 11.5, but now my cores aren't processing as fast. One is in the mid 80's other is in the mid 50's. Any idea why the cores are running at different rates?
