Is someone tried vertminer 0.5.4pre2 with comes with cryptoslax?
I'm trying to set Gigabyte R9 270 on it. Which settings could be good, or better use older 0.5.2 ?
These settings giving 215 Khs and 185 WU. I think WU could be much better on this cards.

Code:

    "intensity" : "19",
    "vectors" : "1",
    "worksize" : "256",
    "kernel" : "scrypt",
    "lookup-gap" : "2",
    "thread-concurrency" : "12290",
    "gpu-engine" : "1000",
    "gpu-fan" : "60-100",

Thanks for the help but like I mentioned a few times already I'm on linux. So no sgminer for me.

Don't know what you're talking about. You just compile it from source.

Yeah I'm on ubuntu. It compiles the CL and spits out a bin file in the current directory. Looking at that was how I got my starting point.

No options other than output and -I 13, and still hardware errors?

Yea seems 13 was the highest I could go on intensity without HW errors. I was able to add two threads which seemed to increase the hash by almost double. Even so I feel as if my results are in the 280x range...

290x @ 370 Kh/s

Code:

./vertminer --nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3367 -u 0ut1awed.1 -p x -d 0 -v 1 -w 512 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-powertune 20

290 @ 370Kh/s

Code:

./vertminer --nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3367 -u 0ut1awed.1 -p x -d 1 -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24500 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune 20

Huh. I don't know what's causing your issues, but I know how I would solve them. Get yourself on '--xintensity 4' to go with that '-g 2'. You need the nfactor version of sgminer for that. Then you should have a decent hashrate, almost as much as the full potential of the card, plus low rejects. On a 290, xintensity 4 is in between -I 13 and -I 14. It should work. Lower the TC though.

i'm having a little trouble getting my Sapphire R9 tri-x 280x Toxic over the 300kh/s mark.

i'm running bamt 1.3 modded with vertminer 0.5.4pre2

.conf looks like this:

Quote

"auto-fan" : "true",
"intensity" : "13,20",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256,512",
"kernel" : "scrypt",

"thread-concurrency" : "8191,27000",
"shaders" : "0",

"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"scrypt" : true,
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"

the second parameters are for the sapphire R9 290x Tri-X (non-OC) which runs at 490kh/s no problem.

i've tried changing the TC/ENG?MEM up and down, trying different stuff i've read on here, but it really doesn't even make any difference.

Hi to all Vertminers!

I have read this megathread from start and end, also some middle parts, but so far no luck to configure my 2 Gigabyte AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 PCIE GV-R927XOC-4GD cards...

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2687/gigabyte-r9-270x-windforce-3x-oc-4-gb.html

If someone had luck with those cards and are willing to share knowledge, I will send some VTC for help

ATM my rig runs in 2 gpu-thread settings:
rawintensity - 8192
shaders - 1280
t c - 8192
engine clock - 990 and mem clock - 1500
gpu-powertune - 20

This gives me total 310 - 370 WU, 350 - 380 Kh/s, 0 HW, less then 1% R
tepperature @ 50% vents 50 - 73 'C (room 24'C)

So it's working pretty stable and no heat and noise problems, but I wanna bit more from those cards, thats sure!
Can you help please!?

I'm on ubuntu so no bin files here. Not sure what the TC is on default but taking it out defiantly does not make a difference.

I figured out my issue with the 290x, it was missing the --nscrypt flag.

Still I can get neither to stop outputting massive hardware errors.

sharing my settings on open air rig,

vertminer:

Code:

 --scrypt-vert  -v 1 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1032,1008,1000,1008 --gpu-powertune -20,-20,-20,-20 --temp-target 72,68,70,70 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 45-90 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90
--expiry 30 --scan-time 5 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale

Lower target temp on GPU 1 is to keep its fan from ramping down too low and vrm's around 85, i know there's better way to do that but i got lazy and this how I left it

cgminer:

Code:

--gpu-platform 0 --gpu-engine 1081,1053,1053,1053 --gpu-memclock 1500 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8193,8193,8193,8193 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-powertune -20,-20,-20,-20 --temp-target 70 --gpu-fan 92,63,88,80 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --expiry 60 --scan-time 30 --queue 1 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 2

notice temps are consistant with location....

GPU 0 = Sapphire 280X Vapor-X 015.041 Hynix @ 1.162v , worked great out of box but flashed with stilts Vaporx_2104XTLAFR-V46_AGR.zip anyway with no noticable results

GPU 1,2,3 Sapphire 280X Vapor-X 015.042 Elpida @ 1.1v flashed with Sapphire_E21004_V44_K2_NT_AGR.bin

Cant seem to get GPU 2 to get up to 1 and 3, its on MSI FM2-A85XA-G43 AMD A85 FM2, GPU 2 is on x16, GPU 1 is in other x16 which gpuz shows as x16@x4, 3 and 0 are in x1
Regardless, Im very happy with the setup

So I'm trying to get my 290 and 290x setup. I've been tinkering with the settings and trying to be conservative with it still with no luck.

I'm using this following config...

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
./vertminer --nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3367 -u 0ut1awed.1 -p x -d 1 --no-adl -I 15 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24500 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune 10

It will run on my 290 giving me a supposed mere 325Kh/s but the pool only reports 20Kh/s. It's probably because of all the HW errors I'm getting (I believe that's what the numbers tallying up next to HW are). When I run that same config on the 290x it reports back 900Kh/s to 1Mh/s but no accepts and doesn't even show it being up from the pool site.

I realize you have to fine tune but I feel like I'm already really modest in what I have setup.

What is the TC that it runs if you leave the --thread-concurrency part out (delete all .bin files and then pull the number out of the new file that it creates when you run vertminer again)? It should probably be greater than 24500 and it should run without any hardware errors at -I 15. It's hard to believe a 290 would get hardware errors at 24500 though - that's pretty moderate. There may be something else wrong.

If you get the new sgminer with nfactor support, (and maybe some other cgminer versions?), you can try a 290 at -g 2 --xintensity 4. I do that at --thread-concurrency 10240 and the performance is very close to that of -g 1 at high intensity, high TC. Once the clocks are optimized.

I'm on ubuntu so no bin files here. Not sure what the TC is on default but taking it out defiantly does not make a difference.

Arkanius, you have two different settings for thread concurrency in your bat file and conf. I don't think that will help things. Also, on some versions of vertminer gpu-threads can have a big impact on HW errors. A tc of 21568 seems quite high for a R9 270, especially with 2 gpu-threads. 12000-15000 would be ok with 1 thread, ~6000-7000? for 2 threads.

Have a look at other settings for the R9 270 here: http://www.verters.com/vertcoin-hardware-list

Persenally, I installed the thekev vertminer and used the example settings from the OP. Worked straight away for 230 kh/s, no messing required.

If that helped I can PM you my darkcoin address.

I didn't even know there was a vertcoin hardware comparison chart. I'm toying around with bamt trying to see how it works so my main rig is down at the moment. While I can't test the settings(yet) this will help me colossally with my current and future builds. Send me your darkcoin address and I'll send you 10 instead of the 5 promised darkcoins.

So I got myself a Radeon R9 280x Asus DCII Top and was expecting
1. Hashrates along the lines up to 400 kh/s (seen other people reach 400 with either DCII or Sapphire toxic)
2. That the card would be voltage unlocked

The card did 250 kh/s out of the box and voltage seems to be locked. Not the greatest start.

When I clock it down to 1000/1500 from default 1070/1600 it reaches 358 kh/s... which is also my record kh/s for the card.
Tried tc 8191,8192,8193 and 11200. Tried a few intensity settings with no luck.

Tried gpuspeeds down to 950 and up to 1200 and shitloads of settings inbetween. No significant increases whatsoever, just decreases. Tried memclock up to 1850 and down to 1250 only to settle at 1470.

OH, did I mention the card has hynix H5GQ2H24AFR memory modules, which means "the stilts" optimized bios is not going to help it either?

Voltage? I flashed a custom bios which would allow me to lower the voltage. Did nothing but freeze the card for me so I had to revert it. My gigabyte cards were also locked but I just flashed a custom bios and set the voltage to 1.1 in the config. Same thing did NOT work with the asus card.

Quite disappointed to say the least. Many people mention this card and the sapphire toxic as the great 280 cards. My two other cards are Gigabytes, rev1 and they are fifty bucks cheaper and outperform it.

I realize different cards peak at different settings but I find it astonishing that a factory OC'ed card gains almost 50% more kh/s from getting downclocked to 1000/1500 from stock 1070/1600.

hi all,

any optimised settings for a 5970 dualgpu card availeble???

I'm running 12 5970's on it, four to a machine. Played with the setting for hours, this is the best you going to get.

--thread concurrency 6144 -I 16 -g 1 -w 256 --gpu-engine 750 --gpu-memclock 1000

*Each core 168 khs - best you're going to get and not spew garbage hashes to the pool
* You need a minimum of 4GB system ram
* If using Win 7 or 8 64bit you will more than likely have to use the -T flag

~BCX~

big THX for this Informations. i have updated my configfile but the hashpower is only 130k per GPU Sad

can u post a copy of your configfile (im using vertminer and edit the configfile)
