1 lookup-gap should be use in your situation with parameters like  2,2,2,2
2 download verminer mayby that is cousing problems
3 edit in bat you have 4 cards:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 4

Has anyone compiled a Linux distro for Vertcoin mining? I'm currently on BAMT but I'd love to get into mining VTC... and I'm a total Linux noob :-/

Windows 7, R9 290s

2x MSI,2x ASUS

Here are mine:

"gpu-engine" : "1000",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"intensity" : "20",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "24000"

yields 410-430 Hash per card running auto fan as well

reject rate on bitcrush, <1.5%

1. add:
---------------------
Color 0A
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 3
--scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u user.w3 -p x --lookup-gap 2 -w 256 -I 13 --gpu-powertune 20 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 40-85 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-target 70 --temp-cutoff 95 -g 1 --gpu-reorder

// that "GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS" should synch setting once again ,enjoy matrix style colors, easy settings
---------------------
Color 0A
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 3
--scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u user.w3 -p x -d 0,1,2 --thread-concurrency 24550,24550,24550 --lookup-gap 2,2,2 --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 800-950,800-950,800-950 --gpu-memclock 1250,1250,1250 -w 256,512,512 -I 19,19,19 --gpu-powertune 20,20,20 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 40-85,40-85,40-85 --temp-overheat 90,90,90 --temp-target 70,70,70 --temp-cutoff 95,95,95 -g 1,1,1


//advanced settings for hardcore miners

1. Delete gpu-settings and memory settings.
2. Delete from file tread currency (at the end)
3. Start with intensity 13 "I" parameter "-I 13" and add +1 manualy.
4. Clear directory from *.bin.
5. You use auto-gpu and without no gpu range like --gpu-engine 800-950 this is stupid IMO look at fan auto adjust range should be like that.
you could have some mismatched settings to cards that can cause bugs with "auto" functions try add "--gpu-reorder"

Very low WU rate:

I am using 2x sapphire 7950's (dual-x) and 2 XFX 7950's.

Any ideas?

Here is my config (like some previous guy) :

{
"api-listen" : true,
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"temp-overheat" : "80",
"temp-target" : "70",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",
"intensity" : "20",
"thread-concurrency" : "21712",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1000",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250"
}

I have 300KHs per card on a rig with 4x7950 (dual-x) and with only 2Go RAM (on SMOS). For me, it seems that RAM is not that important (on Linux), and the temp is <70.

Can you link the changelog? Anything important?

I am also doing really badly on the hastrate, only getting 360 max for my ref. sapphire 290x!
however, I managed to compile vertminer 0.5.4pre via git for ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64.

i'd share it here!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuxk15h0as4nr83/vertminer-0.5.4pre.tar.gz

driver: 13.12, app-sdk 2.9, adl sdk: 6

tips appreciated!

Good one!, I am running standard kingston sticks, 8GB or 12GB makes no difference, will try to lower it to 1066 and again at 1600 to see if anything changes it, did you test that? so we can confirm that system ram speed affects vtc mining?, because it is very important issue!.

thank you for the info, I will do some tests and report back here, too bad I don't have any premium ram sticks to test out, I have never ever needed it,or I will had bought some.

Cos is the best: new, rare , hard to mine, innovative with great society, with more and more shop accepting. This coin will win out for sure!  

this coin is doing well.

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

Please help!

GUYS.
I mine 4x290 and 1x7950.
I have important question. Look at image and my miner report about 1,900 khs but on site is only ~900 khs.
On Big pools (MPOS) i get even worst results! Speed is jumping like hell from 300-800 on p2p pools results are better.
And i can adjust difficulty.
Do you have the same results ? Almost all time Hashrate on dashboards have 1/2 -1/3  value compared to miner window?

Why it is happening?
Probably most people don't even notice that.
All are counting profit by straight getting numbers from cgminer WU parameter.
If you want use profit calculator you should give numbers from site it will be more accurate in this case you/me have counted 2x more than i should.

This is most useful RL information. Thank you

tradeacoin, you're running 7 290x cards on only one rig? 

thanks for the tip on memory speed.  Willing to share the overclock settings you're running, as well as the ThreadC, Intensity settings, etc.?  I have 2 290x cards running 462-3 myself.  I'm enjoying comparing settings to see how people are achieving what they're achieving.  I'm also very close to setting up a farm with 40+ 290x cards with a couple friends, so the more data the better for me.

Thanks in advance!

Everyone seems to be asking questions but I just wanted to thanks to all the guru's who are providing answers and helping us. I read and re-read the info on here and I am happy to say I have 7 290x running at 463KH/s a piece, on a 8gb ram stick.

I will give out a little info to help other people regarding RAM. On this rig a friend tried adding up to 32gb of ram. He had the same results as running 8gb of RAM. What he did find out though is RAM speed made a big difference. Using 8gb of 1333mhz he was getting only lower 300KH/s. Once put in 8gb of RAM with 1866mhz he reached the current speed of 463KH/s per 290x.

So if you are upgrading your RAM (which I see quite a few people talking about in this thread) make sure you get a decent mhz. Hope this info helps someone out there.

Hello
I have several MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G (912-V277-057) that I am trying to setup here, with very little success.

I read the entire thread and tested all the configurations, not one of them worked with two threads ( -g 2 )
as soon as I enter -g 2 (or gpu-threads 2 in the config file) I get this error:

Error -5: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel)
GPU 0 Failure, disabling!

I am testing only 1 GPU, windows 7 64 bit, driver 13.1, card is MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G, (soft is vertminer NR3 and cgminer AleksNR3 both is the same) also use setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200 doesn't change anything either.

my current settings:
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"intensity" : "13",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"Thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-engine" : "800-950",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.100",
"scrypt" : true


The only way I can make it work is using 1 thread, TC is not important here, no matter what TC I put on it the result is the same (tried low as 500 and high as 27000).
Mining with -g 1 gives me 270 KH (at 950/1250mem), if I OC to 1070/1500, I get 285 which is useless.

I had 8GB of RAM, but decide to try 12 to see if there is any difference, nope, same results.
Tried other intensities but hash speed drops dead below 100, only i 13 gives me 270KH

any ideas?

are there no nvidia users at all that can help me

Please guys post your software / OS you use for mining along with the parameters.

What software are you using? How much khash/sec?
