7950 has 1792 shader units, so try setting --shaders 1792 and experiment with a thread concurrency that is a multiple of that, i.e. 3584, 7168, 8960 etc. Also try updating to a newer Catalyst driver set. I got better results on Catalyst 13.9 than the old 13.4 or something I had first.

Thanks man, got +5kh with catalyst 13.9. Not much but hey everything counts

My settings on sapphire dualx 7950 are:
gpu 1023, memory 1225, 1,1v set with sapphire trixx
--shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 7168 --lookup-gap 0 --I 13 --g 2 --w 286

getting 265 kh

One question, if i add r9 270, can i run two different settings (for different cards) in vertminer?

Always when i got gpu 0 failure it was a problem with too high of thread concurrency. If you set too high gpu threads it freezes the system, same with intensity

you can always use --g 1,2 --engine-core 1000,900 etc to tweak the settings for each individual card.

Does anyone know of a vertminer that can run different gpu-threads for 2 different cards in 1 instance? Because I have an r9 270 which likes 1 thread and a 280x which likes 2.

try lowering the core

i discovered that the only value that matter is the core, leave everything as it was with the previous settings

Can anyone please point out what might be going on if Vertminer nearly always starts up with one GPU disabled ? Getting " GPU x failure - disabling GPU x.
It's always a random card out of the 4 cards. I have to restart vertminer anywhere between 5-20x to finally get them all going and even then one card will randomly die at some point and I have to do all the restarting all over again.

Running:
4x 280x
4gb of RAM

-g2 - I 13 -TC 8192 @ 1040/1500

Lowering TC wouldnt be an option as 8192 is the only value giving me 370+ Khash Cry

here mine, found some good one

280x toxic = --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 gpu clock 1100/memory 1500 powertune 20 300kh/s
7950 vapor-x = --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 gpu clock 1100/memory 1250 powertune 20 180kh/s

just remove the -g 2

Azure Vertcoin Pool - DDOS reisistant P2Pool Node

http://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171/

No registration - No minimal payout!

To connect to this P2Pool node simply point your miner at:

URL: stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171
Username: Your vertcoin address
Password: Anything

Fast facts

1. P2Pool nodes are all part of one single, big, distributed pool
2. When any p2pool worker on any node finds a block, everyone on all the nodes gets paid their share
3. There is no pool wallet, and hence no payout threshold. Payments go directly to your wallet
4. The distributed nature of p2pool resists DDoS attacks

Sample Vertminer configuration: cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171 -u VbNPoxNeiNg6Bj9RwjjS4GazDbKLgUqNDP -p X

Where can I download the modified cgminer binary for linux with support for AMD GPU mining?

building my own binary is a bit to risky for me, it took me a while get the current cgminer running and I don't want to break it by installing extra pkg.

I Have a big problem with 4x r9 290.
One of my 4 gpu is not mining (GPU 0)
Right after running vertminer 5.3.0 graphic driver reports an error. the screen starts to blink and then screen back to normal.
But the verminer says that gpu 0 is mining at 0 khash/s.
Tried different settings with no luck.
My settings are:

--scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u user.w3 -p x --thread-concurrency 24550 --lookup-gap 2 --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 1250 -w 512 -I 20 --gpu-powertune 20 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 40-85 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-target 70 --temp-cutoff 95 -g 1

system specs:
i5, 8gb ram

Please help!

I had the same problem, you need to reduce your Thread Concurrency until it works.

I got Burfius Vertminer-GPU compiled and it runs, but the above is all the display I get. I don't get the typical cgminer menu and display. Compiled and running on Xubuntu 12.10. This guy is the only other guy I have seen that has this exact problem: http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/1x55q9/cant_get_vertminer_to_display_information/

I believe it was mentioned earlier that you need
libncurses5-dev
and recompile

Here's my rig:
MSI Z77A-GD65
Celeron G1610
4GB RAM
2 x Asus R9270-DC2OC-2GD5
1 x Sapphire 100365BF4L R9 270 2GD5
3 x GIGABYTE GV-R927OC-2GD R9 270
2 x EVGA 750G

I'm running Vertcoin BAMT v1.0.5 from here: http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/1x9fd1/vertcoin_bamt_v150_aka_someone_had_to_do_it/

920/1400MHz, I=18 -> 195kh/s
920/1400MHz, I=20 -> 201-203kh/s
1050/1500MHz, I=20 -> 226kh/s

I've run them 48 hours at the first setting without any crashes though there is an occasional hardware error, usually right at the start. I've run them at the third setting but the fan speed on one of the Asus cards went to 93% and a Gigabyte card got sick. I haven't had the time to tweak per card settings so I use the third setting when I'm not at home.

All six cards are undervolted to 1100mV. The 3 Gigabyte cards and their risers are powered from the second power supply. It draws 430W at the first setting, 438W at the second, and 480W at the third. All measured using a Kill A Watt meter. Temperatures are 69C with fans around 20-40% in my 19C basement.

I don't set the thread-concurrency value but the .bin file is always 14144 which seems to be working. I did try many others before I let cgminer decide for itself. I wish I would have done that to begin with.

My setup for all cards is:

Code:

"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "70",

"gpu-threads" : "1",

"gpu-memclock" : "1400",

"no-submit-stale" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"expiry" : "120",
"scrypt" : true,
"shares" : "0",

Hey guys I'm running a 6850 and only getting 80Kh/s when I should be getting around 125Kh/s. When mining other cryptos I get 250Kh/s. My settings:

Quote

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del scrypt*.bin
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://us.bitcrush.info:3444 -v 1 -I 12 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 6144 --auto-fan --temp-target 73 --temp-overheat 77 --temp-cutoff 88 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --gpu-memclock 1100,1100 --gpu-engine 900,900 --thread-concurrency 4300

Why are you specifying two --thread-concurrency settings? I suspect the last one will be used, not the first one.

@bullus I tried your settings exactly but I keep getting artifacts on the screen and only 220k hash rate.. Can you please tell me which drivers are you using, which operating system and how much ram?

I have sapphire dual x 7950 and getting very bad results. One time I got it up to 250k hash rate but then I wanted to improve it but I just fu*** it up

.
My setup is e6400, 3gb ddr2, sapphire dual x 7950, catalyst drivers 13.1, windows 7 64bit

Just ordered 4 gb of ram, hope that will fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Intensity can't go above 13 or it doesn't start, thread concurrency can't go above 10000, or it will say gpu 0 failure

7950 has 1792 shader units, so try setting --shaders 1792 and experiment with a thread concurrency that is a multiple of that, i.e. 3584, 7168, 8960 etc. Also try updating to a newer Catalyst driver set. I got better results on Catalyst 13.9 than the old 13.4 or something I had first.

Is it ok to put 6 280x on a single board?

Yes of course. Your worry is not how many cards you connect to your board (and for mining it will be just as good on PCIe 1x port as on 16x port). Your worry is if you can power/cool all of them :p
