Hi, yes I'm new.
Glad to say my weekend project was setting up my very first Litecoin mining machine. After much reading and testing I have some of my own results to show and would appreciate any comments.
System Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 AM3+ 8-Core
Graphics Card: 1 x Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB)
Mining with GUIMiner-Scrypt alpha (7950 cgminer)
OS: Windows 7
After reading some setting configurations https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/consolidated-litecoin-mining-guide-for-5xxx-6xxx-and-7xxx-gpus-117221 I tried some tests and got conflicting info.

It seems when I pump up my concurrency and intensity I can get a reading of ~550khash/s in GUIMiner. But this actually significantly reduces my recognised rate in my mining pool. It seems the best settings in GUIMiner are it's defaults concurrency: 8192 and intensity: 13. For ~300khash/s recognised the same in both GUIMiner and Mining Pool.
Is this correct? Can anyone shed some light?
