Topic: The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread - page 16. (Read 264260 times)

I just like to let you guys now if you run several GPUs and VetCgminer does disable a random gpu for no reason (which really happens all the time) simply restart cgminer as many times as all gpus got found, I know how stupid that sounds, but it usually works. There is no single time I reboot my rig and start mining vtc without having cgminer tell me a GPU got disabled, it's always a different gpu btw. I hope in future there will be a better solution as a update for cgminer.

What is going wrong? Do you know how to create a .bat file to run vertminer? Create a simple one with just your pool address (no extra settings, you can optimize later) and run vertminer. Also, if you add "timeout 60" (remove the quotes) to the last line of your bat file, you can see any errors before it closes. Failing that simply double click on vertminer and manually add in your pool address, user, password etc when prompted.

Also, make sure you have the correct drivers and AMD SDK installed.

please for the love of god someone help me set up this cards to run 7950 sapphire and r9 270x asus on windows 7 64 bit on 8 gb ram please someone help i have wallet downloaded and synced and got vertminer got me nowhere i will pay you $25 i have posted several times if the issue is you dont want dollars i can pay in bitcoin i have a total of 0.02148 bitcoin lol or i can pay in dogecoins but someone please just help me get set up i see diff going up dont want to join when its a like 5,000 " sarcasm lol " I HOPE    i also got teamviewer so we can do this

IF anyone wants to donate some coin my way out of pitty feel free my vtc wallet looks sad with no design and all 0's

Changing the algo wont help you get accepted shares (i.e. the --scrypt option). Different versions (vertminer or GCminerAleks) have different options I think.

I get this HW error problem on my R9 270 when I have -g 2. When -g is set to 1 I can run much higher intensities and TCs (12288 seems optimal for me). If I push it I can get about 200 kh/s but generally running at about 195 kh/s.

Anyone have a compiled version of vertminer 0.5.4 for windows? Also, what's new in it?

I think people who forget (or even worse, don't care) to put the "X" after "290" are making a huuuge confusion in this thread....


Running PowerColor PCS R9 290 on system with 8GB of ram (bios jumper on graphic card moved to "performance" mode) on chakra linux:


Environment vars:


Calling line:


r9290_sick.conf configuration file:


This is giving me 417kH/s average, up to 435kH/s in (5s). Zero HW. I don't see percentage of stalled shares but I have 12 after running for more than 3 hours.

Any idea how to squeeze even more performance?

Using vertminer 0.5.4pre2?  Then you need --nscrypt!!!

IM so sad i can't get my cards to mine i am running windows 7 64 bit with 8gb ram using 800 watt gold psu but i cant get my 2 cards to do anything "keep in mind im a nood who uses guiscrypt to mine " i have r9 270x asus and 7950 sapphire . If anyone could help me set this up i will pay $25 we will do this using team viewer i go to work in 1.5 hours so let me know. I have wallet from website downloaded and synched and i got the vertminer but then i cant do anything. you will still be paid even if its something so simple takes 5 minutes lol as long as it runs stable on the pool im trying to connect to  " http://vtc.dedicatedpool.com "  thanks send me PM so we can get started 1st come 1st go

modded VTC cgminer more reliable than verminer.  If you stop/start more than once using vertminer, only reboot windows can resolve the one card failed issues.

When you use I -13 and TC=8192, does it create a "4032" bin file?

./vertminer --scrypt-vert -o startum -u user -p pwd -I 12 --thread-concurrency 4096 --shaders 2048 -g 2 -w 256 --auto-gpu
-->185kh/s per 7970 no HW

./vertminer --scrypt-vert -o startum -u user -p pwd -I 13 --thread-concurrency 4096 --shaders 2048 -g 2 -w 256 --auto-gpu
-->330kh/s per 7970 100% HW

I have the same bad hashrate with vertminer 0.5.4pre and vertminer 0.5.3...

I can see a link on github for cgminer CPU and GPU miner for vertcoin https://github.com/Bufius but I can't compile it... and there is no ADL_SDK like every other version of cgminer I saw...

And another thing, when I try to compile vertminer with ubuntu 64bits.... I can't do it with your ./buildit.sh  
I have to tape ./autogen.sh before ....
I will post screenshots this evening...

I have another rig with Xubuntu and my 7970 on it is pulling 330kh/s

Hello, I can only pull 190kh/s per cards (amd 7970 tahiti radeon) without HW at the intensity I 12...
750 kh/s for 4 cards 7970... ridiculous...
I have 100% HW with I 13  the same rig can pull 2500 kh/s with cgminer ...

With I 13 I can pull 1200kh/s but with 100% HW...
With I 12 I can only pull 750kh/s without HW... 

4x7970, Mobo Sabertooth, processor Am3+, 16 Gb ram, Ubuntu 13.10 64bits...

Tried, one card failed to start, the other sputtered along at like 14kh/s or something silly.  Those settings make absolutely no sense and the hashrate is either a load, or they meant 400 hashes per second, lol.

I can't get above 218 kH/s with my 270s, and I've done a lot of research and experimenting and the best I've heard anyone hit is about 220.

You need to install the proper miner
)  GPU mine using CGminer modified for Vertcoin support (currently fastest method):
   1.  Windows Version http://vertcoin.org/downloads/vertminer-0.5.3.zip
   2.  Source code for both Windows and Linux https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu
 
   Build HOWTO for vertminer: http://vertcoin.org/gpu-miner-build-howto.html

I believe, your problem is the video driver. I had a simillar trouble and I reinstalled the driver many times untill it stopped to freeze.
Another issue could be one of your video cards. Try the following : Start the miner with 1 videocard ( cgminer -d0 -c your.config.file) and wait to see if 1-st vGPU is ok. Repeat the procedure for the rest of your GPU's ( cgminer -d1 etc.) If all of them work stable launched as single GPU, try the following : cgminer -d0 -c your.conf and turn on from chminer control menu ( press letter "G", enable them one by one, like waiting few minutes to see how stable is your system after the next enabled GPU)
wish you good luck discovering the problem

I can't get it to work..

I have Sapphire 290 cards..

I downloaded vertminer

How would the .bat file be edited to just run?

I can't seem to get my asus 280x 6card system stable on vertminer. All 3 of my rigs run Bamt 1.3. This is my only 6card configuration
This config achieves 375kh/s but only lasts for ~10mins then system freezes. I've tried default voltage for all six cards. Same outcome. Power is not the issue 1200w+850w for this system
Vertminer 0.5.3
Updated app sdk to 2.9 and upped coreclock to 1100 pumps out 393kh/s but crashes same as before. My other 2 systems run 3 gigabyte 280x's and have no problem running 8191,8192,8193 TC with 1500mem. One 3card has 2GB's ram and the other has 4GB's ram. Both are very old dual core systems.

6card rig is brand new hardware 8GB's 6core. I've tried newer catalyst drivers, same outcome +lower hashrate. Also tried vertminer 0.5.2 and 0.5.4pre2 = lower hashrate+crash. Next on my list is to try 64bit xbuntu.
I'm pulling my hair out getting to the bottom of this one. I can drop the memory down to 1250Mhz but the wu is under 300 per card unacceptable. For now I'm stuck mining doge or whatever for the 6cards. Any ideas from anyone? Anybody with 6card rigs having issues with vertminer?

Edit: Turns out gpu0 was the culprit. Lowered gpu0's memclock to 1250 and 360kh. WU:330
I kept getting too many hw errors and the occasional dead gpu so the other 5 cards are running 1375 memclock and achieve 372kh. WU:340

I still get a few hw errors but it's only 1 or 2 gpus and is well below 1%

Thank you papagalka666, I just assumed these cards would all be around the same settings in relation to each other with vertccoin. That's how they are with regular scrypt

Wonder if this is still going to go well with panda and other coins like utc having more backing cash/etc... hmm

Finally!! Finally confi;g, that works on my 290, gives me 430-470khs and only 2% of stale.
Most surprising for me is that auto-fan: true/false on my water cooled rig makes big difference

THANK!!

The MSI R9 270x G2 is listed here http://www.verters.com/vertcoin-hardware-list to get 400 KH/s
They are using this config:
--gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1210 --auto-fan --temp-target 80,75 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95 --gpu-powertune -20 --worksize 256 -I 16 --lookup-gap 0

Can anyone confirm this? Anyone got this card to try it?
Thanks

hi

I have MSI 280x Gaming and I had a wierd experience. I did not build it together my rig, so 4 cards are working separately now. 1-1-2 in three desktop. Now, I tried couple of settings which I found here. On the first machine finally I found the good one, I'm getting around 320-330 kh/s. I moved to the other machine and I received this (this is the 2 card desktop, but the other one with 1 card is doing the same, really low kh/s with the same settings with works with the first desktop)

http://gitane.dyndns.org/~azmo/vert_2_280x.jpg

And this is the config :

export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
.\vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://eu.vertcoin.org:8080 -u xxx.xxx -p xxx -v 1 -I 13 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8193 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-threads 1 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 90


Also, I'm not sure about the conf file, how it is working really because I have a bat file which using that config up here. But the conf file containing some different stuff. I'm confused a little bit Any ideas, suggestions?


thanks guys

p.s. the first machine which working with the nice kh/s working with 6 Gb memory, the others are only with 4 Gb. Is this could be an issue?
