Hi everyone i have a question :

I have 4 rigs :

-Two with 1500 kh/s
-Two with 2250 kh/s
 For a total of approximatively 7500 kh/s

I have used d=1024 for all of them, but i think (im not shure) i get less BTC than before with the difficulty of 512 ...

Should I get back to d=512 ? Can someone explain me what does that change ?


Thanks a lot guys

Nope, you have to use real monitor cable and a real monitor. Good is most monitors have more than 1 port, use something hdmi and dvi

Cool, Thanks for the info, Don't suppose you know if teamviewer hits the gpu at all ? Because I know TightVNC is supposed to not affect it, I don't have integrated graphics so it's not an option.

that dummy plug works with r290?i mean can i use igpu with r290?

First, go to the bios and set integrated to primary. Then you can plug it.

But you'll need a dummy plug to oc, or control the fan.

This is my setup. I use 2 monitors and the 3rd one is set to the lowest resolution. That's one amd card with the dummy plug. I put it there so I won't be accidentally move my mouse there.

@tblack and The Fat Miner.

Intensity is 13 (it's a 280X card, and 13 seems to suit it well).  I can do pretty much everything else (bar watch full-res youtube videos), and it works fine, it's just that I recently noticed this issue with Chrome.

Another forum member helpfully PM-ed me and also suggested switching HW acceleration off, which I've done, and it's helped a lot, although it's disabled some things in Chrome (Google Maps are now in "Lite" mode, for example, no 3D imagery).

I thought it would be great if I could set it all up so that the integrated graphics is used for desktop, browsing, etc, whilst the 280X mines unhindered, but not sure how to go about setting this up.

edit: Oh, I think I know what you meant tblack.  Just connect the monitor to the integrated graphics DVI, as opposed to the 280X.  Simple.   I may well try this.

The "ignore" button works almost as well. And it is wonderful!

I would appreciate If you add Zeitcoin. It would boosted the hashrate and profitability.

Or you can use the integrated graphics. I use my work computer that way with 2 amd cards mining on I18 and my system is still snappy. I put a dummy plug to one of the AMD cards because you can't control the cards without it (only stock clocks and fan speed). On win8 it is more of an issue. Win8 won't load the driver if you don't have a monitor (or dummy plug) plugged in.

Yes, that's what I use

Is there a place in here to mark people as idiots?  Because you are one.  A prick too.
Please explain in your own words how a failover would help in this situation. 

If your intensity is high you will see a drop doing anything, If you want to use it while mining drop the intensity.

It has something to do with gpu hw acceleration in chrome or ff. Maybe chrome uses more gpu resources when in fullscreen.

Perhaps slightly off topic, but just wanted to check if anyone's come across this...

My main PC (this one I'm reading this forum from) uses Windows 7 SP1, and cgminer 3.7.2 with CGWatcher.  It all works fine, but recently I switched to using Chrome (having used Firefox before), and have now noticed that whenever I maximise (or have it open in a window - not maximised) Chrome, my hash-rate drops significantly.  Normally, it's at around 745 Kh/s, and with Chrome on top, it drops to about 680-700.  Minimise Chrome (or shut it down) and the hash rate goes straight back up, nearly instantly.  It's repeatable, and it's definitely Chrome affecting the hash rate.  I haven't noticed this with Firefox, but the reason I switched to Chrome was my tabs-fetish was getting out of hand (I was using groups in Firefox, and had something like 40-50 tabs open per group and about 5-6 groups, yes, I know, insane  ).  So now I'm trying a tab-diet, and have only about 20 tabs open in Chrome, but it's doing this weird thing.

Has anyone come across anything like this, anyone here specifically uses Chrome and CGWatcher/cgminer, and can perhaps do a quick test?

Weirdly, I googled this, and found a couple of threads on other forums where people were experiencing THE EXACT OPPOSITE issue, in that their hashing rate INCREASED when they had Chrome open, and would drop with it minimised or closed.

 

P.S.  Waffle, you rock.

Hey guys, looks like something obviously happened while I was asleep, looking into exactly what it was right now, but need to board a plane in an hour, so might be a bit before I have a detailed explanation. 

Our servers have been looking a bit on the stressed out side over the past few days, and was the first thing on my plate when I get back, but I don't think they would have hit critical load yet (then again, maybe someone attacked us briefly and pushed it over the top?)

Whats more odd is why it would come back up with no change from me.

I had TightVNC on a Windows 7 machine working great, But for some reason Windows 8.1 on that machine doesn't like it and black screens every time I tried


I thought about quite a lot of what you said but couldn't really set up most of it due to the place being a temporary living space, So stupidly took a risk.


I'm sure you're right


No I don't think anyone would purposely mine with it, It's set up to start automatically when the power cuts etc, So if they took it elsewhere and booted it, Then it will start mining straight away.

Teamviewer work on Windows 8.1 ?


Thing is I've been monitoring the rig everyday for weeks/months and it's stable as fuck, Never overheated or crashed , It's reliable which is why I know something's wrong. But I hope you're right.

Failover pool switch wouldnt engage if shares are still accepted though.

That was a rude and ignorant comment.  This is a KNOWN issue with wafflepool, that has occurred at least twice previously. The pool continues to accepts shares but does not count them, so a failover is useless.  It seems it was a very short period this time, and I do seem to have gotten paid somewhat appropriately for the period when shares were not published this time.

Learn to not be an idiot, or leave.  How about that?

Any explanation from WP?

Looks like no losses here either.
