Topic: The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread - page 3. (Read 264278 times)

Yes.... with the caveat that I'm not familiar with this software   That's what I do with cgminer. Let me try to find something that might work...

Is there an option to Write your settings using vertminer? If so, that's the option that creates your personal config file. Also, delete all the .bin files from the location you have the miner before you start. The .bin will tell you your TC.

I do:
Mine.bat:
mode CON cols=96 lines=32
timeout /t 60
set DT=C:\Users\miner\Desktop
set VMINER=%DT%\vertminer-0.5.3

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del %DT%\*.bin

%VMINER%\vertminer --scrypt-vert

pause             

However, I don't know how to fit all those options on the comamnd line, which is why I have always used the conf file.
Are you suggesting that I just start vertminer with just the -o/-O options and nothing else?

It's much easier if you begin by tuning just one card (at least for me). I suggest to dump these parameters; delete the config file, and build your own. Do you have a .bat created to start cgminer?

I could try that tonight.

Bummer. Ill have to get the brand details and search this thread to see if any others have matching HW.

Well, I upgraded to the latest build of Vertcoin, now I have 2 GPUs that hash at only 30k. I guess that proves it something with my config.

Most def!

Have you tried using just one card to test the settings?

No luck trying to get vertminer to work on 4x 7850s. Suggestions?

What exactly is "Modded 13.12 WHQL drivers"?
I downloaded the latest drivers from the AMD site. Is this somthing custom from somewhere else?

I cut-and-pasted your R9-280x settings into my vertminer.conf file.
It went down from about 260KHs to about 185ksh with the new settings.
I have a different brand gpu though. Could it make that much difference?

I was getting 715khs with normal scrypt - now 350 because optimal setting is with GPU 1000 - 1010 and I'm running 990 ( lower temp )

Aren't you supposed to get about 1/2 normal hashing power mining coins that use the N-Scrypt algorithm?

Hi ,

I'm running 2 x 6  Gigabyte R9 280 -  using SMOS LINUX with Vertminer 0.5.4pre3

I'm using same settings as with "normal scrypt" like litecoin except  that I have to lower GPU CORE FREQ. TO +- 1000 Mhz - hashing 350 Kh/s with +- 6-8 Kh/s variance.

Well, read this whole freaking thread and I'm still having a hell of a time changing over all of my rigs. I've been GPU mining since the beginning of 2012 and Scrypt-N apparently requires some sort of magical powers I haven't quite learned yet. Currently, I run 18 rigs with 80 GPUs spread between them. Moving from rig to rig even between ones that have the exact or almost the same parts my results have not been exactly repeatable. With these wacky issues I've only been able to switch over four of my rigs

From reading this thread and having dealt with quite a bit of this before I think it would be a huge help if more people would record their operating system and display drivers with their settings. I'll add my findings with things so far. Please note since Scrypt-N settings appear to be some sort of voodoo your results may vary:

- All of my mining rigs have 4GB of ram in them. After dealing with some issues I've tested 4, 8, 12, and 16 GB of ram in multiple systems. The amount of ram in my system has had zero impact on my ability to run certain settings.

- Core and memory clocks do not seem to be as important as finding the right thread concurrency value. Testing across multiple 7970 machines found that lowering the memory clock had zero effect on the hash rate, but reduced heat output, and power consumption. Moving core clocks up or down 10-20 had only a 2-5 KH variance.

- Thread concurrency has a direct correlation to the amount of HW errors and disabled GPUs you have to deal with.

- In a machine with multiples of the same model GPU, I've found hash rate can vary up to 25 KH with the exact same settings.

I would spend them if i could mine them. I have been trying to mine them for a few days now unfortunately i have not been getting anywhere. every time i start mining in a pool for vertcoin i check my hash rate on the site and it is 0, I am not sure why this is but its happening on all pools i try i am mining them like every other coin i mine however vert is the only one i have trouble with.

Not much can be done with just shy of 20 VTC. And not many places to actually spend it.

I have a Gigabye 280x, cannot go to I13 without all hardware errors.
Is there a bios you guys flashed these with I'm not aware of?
