Gigabyte R9 270 cgminer aleks (or vertminer) settings

Running stable at 200kh/s, almost no HW errors

cgminer.exe --scrypt -v 1 -w 256,512 -I 13,17 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --temp-target 65,55 --temp-overheat 75,65 --temp-cutoff 80 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1040,1000 --thread-concurrency 8192,12992 --device 1 --remove-disabled --api-listen
pause

The settings for the R9 270 are the second ones, and the first ones if there's not a second setting.

If it works for you please consider throwing some VTC: VsQPq56R2G7MLgQdHyV7N4iEfth8rvz8Kb

My Powercooler 7850 is getting 170 kh/s at only 950 clock and 750 mem.
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o xxx -u xxx -p xxx -I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 4000 --lookup-gap 2

179Kh/s!!! on my XFX 7850 DoubleD after OCing to 1030 gpu 1400 mem

Thanks.

Mining VTC at this difficulty and with so much hassle and errors and low hashes is just a waste of time, effort and GPU. Better to mine something else and just exchange to VTC. I like the coin but its way too frustrating for small miners. Not sure where all the hash is concentrated. So much for a fair coin

I tried this and got a lot of HW errors on my XFX. got a picture for proof?

I figured it was time for me to post since I can't figure it out after trying for quite some time.
I have two Diamond 7970s and I'm using the following .bat:

setx GPU_MAX_MEMORY_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
--gpu-engine 1010 --gpu-memclock 1440 -I 12 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 4096 -g 2 -w 512

It's giving me 225Kh/s. If I bump -i to 13 I get tons of HW errors. I've tried setting TC to 8192, 8191, or 8193 as others have said and it gives the this error:

Maximum buffer memory device 0 supports says 536870912
Your scrypt settings come to 1073610752
Error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease TC or increase LG

I've also tried setting -g to 1 or 3 and neither is better.
Tried playing with -w and nothing better

Anyone have any ideas?

Vertcoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vertcoin-first-scrypt-n-first-stealth-address-privacy-without-mixer-404364 uses a new (not scrypt, and not scrypt-jane) PoW, which results in about half your normal hashrate, and requires different cgminer settings and a modded cgminer.

The modded algorithm is harder to mine than normal scrypt, and requires lowered thread concurrency and possibly lowered intensity, memclock and core clocks depending on your setup.

Modded cgminer is available at:

Windows: http://kilovolt.co.uk/Vertcoin/Vertcoin-CGMinerAleks_NR3.zip
Linux/Source: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iu1ieqz2th5kfhj/o_G3gRnGMa/cgminer-vertcoin.tgz

I thought I'd start a thread to collect best configs and peoples hashrates with them.

Here are mine:

R9 290:

"gpu-engine" : "1000",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"intensity" : "13",
"temp-overheat" : "80",
"temp-cutoff" : "85",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "24550"

These are getting me about 330KH/s per GPU when using the PC.

When not using the PC for other stuff, I increase intensity to 20 and get 400KH/s per GPU.

A 7970, 7950 and any other configs and hashrates achieved would be great.

I'm using 5x Gigabyte R9 290. Getting 430-435kh/s ea. on latest vertminer R3

Afterburner Settings (latest beta):
- -37mV Undervolt
-Stock clock for engine and mem.
- -3% Powertune
- Custom fan profile keeps GPU at max 82C

Bat File Commands:
- I 20, TC 27000, Worksize 256

Feel free to donate if this helps ya

Code:

root@bamt-miner:/tmp/vertminer-gpu# ./builtit.sh
bash: ./builtit.sh: No such file or directory

I used /tmp instead of downloads but that shouldn't make any diff right?

Maybe it's because i'm using Litecoin BAMT 1.3 and not the normal BAMT

Try to read this pages:

Dickhead, do you think I'd have spelt it like that if I was entering my own commands? I just copy/pasted it.

Im not really good with TC configuration but have you tried to lower it down? Perhaps 8192 is too high.

Have you tried 100 percent for gpu max alloc? I had that problem before. Go to cmd first and do the setx commands. Close it. Then start your miner.

Yea I have, I just tried it again to be sure, and the same error happened.

What driver are you using? I did a clean install of 13.12 when i had that.

Edit: what cards are you using btw?

I've done a clean install a few times now.
5x 270's.

I think you need to separate the setx commands because it will not take effect if you include it in your arguments. Base on what i have read before, setx command will work on the .bat file that you will run next to it.
