I upped my XFX DD 7950 (TDKC) to 1070/1500 from 1040/1495 (running -I 20 and TC of 21712) and I now hit about 315 kh/s. I tried J3TW4V3's settings and was greeted by lots of HW errors....

I even disabled the other 2 cards in the system and run just the XFX and they didn't go away.

Try J3TW4V3's settings again but reboot your miner completely before testing, worked wonders for me before!

Here they are with a small adjustment: (Made fan speed go up to 100%)

That indeed is impressive, especially for an XFX card! I see you both overclocked the GPU-Engine and the GPU-Memory.

Maybe that's the culprit here as I'm running 1150/1250 (stock = 900/1250), which definitely seems to get me the highest hashrates on NORMAL scrypt coins. I guess Vertcoin is a totally different story.....

Do you have libncurses5-dev installed?

I installed mentioned lib but unfotunately with no efect.

Any other idea? Is there someone who runs Linux rig who can share experiences? Thanks.

I got it working by overwriting the binary with this http://vertcoin.org/downloads/vertminer.tgz It's on vertcoin frontpage. Version is 0.5.2.

I copied that binary to my linux server, but nothing happens when I run the command. What's the syntax that I should use? I was using

Code:

./vertminer -o stratum+tcp://s.la.vertcoin.org:3333 -u user.name -p xxxx

But like I say, nothing happens. I installed the SDKs as instructed from the main page. Is there a way to ensure they are installed and working correctly?

Thanks

Hi,

I am running Vertminer 0.5.3 on Xubuntu 12.04. So far no problems. Only one thing that bothers me is that Vertminer is not showing overview of hashrate, fan speed, temperatures, etc. as usual but I get screen of "running" text where actual hashrate is sometimes shown at the very bottom.

Do you have any idea what is wrong? Thanks for help.

What is REALLY funny is so far the cheaper brands are performing better with vertminer than the expensive brands.

It's impressive how you manage to get that high on your 7950. I can't get over ~280Kh/s on my Sapphire 7950 Dual X with any of the combination I have tried so far.

Thankfully I was able to get BAMT to recognize temperature and fan settings properly for vertminer. Here is how i did it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4983378

Sapphire 290x (ref) — hynix mem.
...
"gpu-memclock":"1500", //Finally! i've spent two days to raise memclock to this point. Already wrote some posts with this trouble. And solution is — raise it step by step (for me its works), slowly.

Try memclock 1250 (right, lower than stock), you will be surprised. I have Sapphire 290 and with 1250 it's much better than on stock 1300, and a little worse than 1500, but much more stable without voltage manipulation.

Got stable 440kh/s at I:17 and tc:24550.

Got my Vertminer (v0.5.3) running stable, but it's far from optimized. Hope to get things running better with some help via this thread.

Currently running 4x Gigabyte 7950 WindForce 3 REV2.0 (Windows 7 x64, 8GB RAM, Catalyst 12.8 ) @ ~270KH/s each, totalling ~1.100KH/s.

Yes, it's more about WU as some people say, still, 1/3 the WU from what I was mining in scrypt. My concern is that only conservative settings will be stable in vertminer, compared to more aggressive settings in cgminer for scrypt.

I think he means that you need to consider the price of the coin. I'd get ~$4/day with my 7850 hashing 365kh/s scrypt. I can get $6-7/day mining Vert at 160kh/s. Even if it went down to 120kh/s its still $5/day and better than normal scrypt.

Were you mining LTC before? My numbers showed that VTC made me maybe 12% more than mining scryptcoins. Are you considering the current price per VTC or are you looking at a longer time frame that probably includes when the price was more than 2x what it currently is?

vertminer 0.5.3 on windows 8.1, one thread because the card only has 2 GB. ~160 KH/s ~160 WU. Computer has 8 GB ram. At going rate, ~1 coin per day.

Only 160 kh/s?? That's like 1/3 of what i get mining scrypt with my 270x. I can't justify putting it on VTC if it takes that big of a hit. My 7950's were almost exactly 50% of their scrypt hashrate with no messing around, 33% is just not going to be worth it. I was able to get as high as 223 kh/s on the 270x but HW errors eventually appeared.

I have conservative settings. I can get higher if I want. In which I do not, $200 is a big investment for me right now. And the noise...
You're welcome to overclock and set to I 13. :-) Besides, it's not all about hashrate...

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt --intensity 12 -g 1 -w 64 -o stratum+tcp://mine1.coinmine.pl:6350 -u user.user -p pw

I'm using a 6870 but shouldn't I be getting somewhere around 150 k/hs? How do I fix this?

Try this. I'm getting 100Kh/s because I'm running a lower clock (one of my fans is broken).
