I'm currently testing on an r9 270x.
Can't get a hashrate over 90 kh/s and WU: ~80/m without a massive number of HW
anything over intensity 10 only produces HW and anything over thread-concurrency: 1024 will give me error -61 and the miner won't start at all
my current conf:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200

"scrypt" : true,
"gpu-engine" : "1140",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"intensity" : "10",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "1024",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"worksize" : "256",

produces only 75 kh/s stable Embarrassed

for the usual scrypt coins, I'm getting around 450 kh/s so 75 just seems too low, pls help

Hello guys. Im using this forum help for a while now, so I believe its time to give my contribute

Using modded cgminer with the following settings.

HD 7790 - 90 Kh/s with no HW

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:9171 -u Vd64qHcTSHfBT2EGMgrfMLKUFkEm4HRZVW -p x -I 12 -g 1 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 4096

HD 4770 - 45Kh/s with no HW

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt --url=stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:9171 --userpass=Vd64qHcTSHfBT2EGMgrfMLKUFkEm4HRZVW:x --url=stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 --userpass=jipl.home:12345 --failover-only -I 10 -g 1 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 1024

4x Asus r9 280x TOP - beetween 280/330 Kh/s per card with no HW

After running the cgminer for about 10minutes this is what I'm getting

http://gyazo.com/793abe4418366152fcc8ebccefdfea65

HW: 120 R:32
Solid 320Khs

Should I just ignore the HW?

give me your exact settings are plug it straight in. and ill screenshot what im getting

Edit:
Okay found your settings
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

C:\vertminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtc.kilovolt.co.uk:3333 -u Username -p Password-w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-memclock 1490 --thread-concurrency 8193

ive tried it already but ill try again and screenshot it

I might add, i've got the MSI R9x 280x gamer 3gb. Seems to be giving the most kh/s from the 280x series so you might see a little difference

That's not the initial problem though. My problem is the Intensity and the TC.

Ok here's what happened with your settings and anyone else's
http://gyazo.com/5c0e884e75cdc03c3e2fdc39bfc32094

The reason its failing is because the TC is too high. So I lower it to 6080 and it starts running. HOWEVER, then comes the problem with intesity levels. Anything above "I- 12" with gives me tons of HW

Also yes I agree there should be a difference from my card and your card, but my card is normally 700khs it should ATLEAST hit 300khs (not even 50% yet). 350Khs would be my 50% mark

Edit:

I took your settings and lowered the TC to 6080. I am getting a solid 320Khs but the HW is going crazy

Here's the screenshot (running for 20seconds or so)
http://gyazo.com/c18d54fafbf80a9b0cb4fea4a1baeee6

Should I just ignore the HW? I know I probably shouldnt but there's no way around this... If I lower the Intensity to 12 it works fine no HW, but gets 230Khs

Edit:

hmm the HW actually have seem to gone down from what I was getting before. Im only at 90 HW after a few minutes and NO rejected shares. Is it worth ignoring guys? Or should I never let it have any HW?

I'm gonna say it one more time.

If you mine with a 280x set your GPU_MAX_ALLOC to 200 instead of 100.

You'll do 350ish instead of 270-300.

Doesn't have to be that way mate, my 280x's are doing 355 with the settings i posted above.

Then you're one of the lucky ones. Windows or Linux?

Windows.

If you've got 280x's yourself try these settings out. Working like a charm for me.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

C:\vertminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o Server -u Username -p Password-w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-memclock 1490 --thread-concurrency 8193

That's the thing. i don't run windows rigs. i needed 200 on my linux rigs to get the normal kh/s (350-360)

Yes, the same issue. Can't get more than stable 230khs per core on 7990 on linux.

Having problems with modded cgminer... But everyone else seems fine.

Specs: XFX R9 280x getting 230Khs on Vertcoin. Normally gets 700khs on others, NOT EVEN 50%.
I am using Windows 8

(Just FYI I'm not new to the mining scene)

I dont know if the cgminer was recently changed, but the -Intensity level CANNOT go above "-I 12" or the miner will go crazy with HW (hardware errors)

Everyones settings are with Intensities between 13-20 and saying they get 300Khs per card..... YES, I can get 300khs per card if I chose intensity 13-20;HOWEVER , the amount of HW (hardware errors) IS CRAZY!!

Also the thread concurrencies straight up just DONT WORK! I have to choose a concurrency around or below 6,000 for it to work. If I choose a TC like 8193 it will start the miner and say GPU 0 FAILURE, DISABLING

Here are my cgminer settings:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtc.poolz.net:3333 -u xxx -p xxx -I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 6080 --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 1600,1600 --gpu-engine 1100,1100 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --expiry 20 --scan-time 5 --queue 1 --no-submit-stale --temp-cutoff 85 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-target 75

Any help would be appreciated!
NOTE: I have a gtx 770 as well normally avg 300Khs and getting 150Khs (That's 50%)
I've messed around with the settings for a good 5hours... cant find any working method. So if youre going to tell me to remove or add something. Trust me I probably already did it.

Are you sure you haven't tried my settings? I've been having the same problems. But when i lowered engine to 1000, memclock to 1490, powertune to -20 it could handle I13 and Still manage 355 kh/s

I'm going to add some ram from my main computer to my mining rig see if more ram does anything... It shouldnt because its not utilizing any ram from what I can see

He's not wrong, 7950's need high TCC's to perform well. High TCC's need more RAM. 8GB recommended. You can't compare to 280x's because they work on 2 threads with low TCC's.

Possibly, but they run fine now with gpu-threads 2 and intensity 13. TC doesn't seem to affect it as much as intensity, if I dropped intensity to 13 with 16k TC it started to work fine. I tried to drop TC below 6k with 18 intensity and did not work - HW errors.

+1

-13 with TC 19xxx and G1 did around 200 kh/s
-13 with TC 8193 and G2 does 250-310 kh/s

So I woke up this morning and vertminer had crashed. maybe i was pushing the ram to high. I went back to cgminer and dialed it back. Here is my current config:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u x.x -p x -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 --gpu-threads 2 --looklupgap 2 --shaders 2048 --gpu-engine 1080 --gpu-memclock 1496 --gpu-vddc 1.100 --gpu-powertune 20 --temp-target 75 --gpu-fan 100 --auto-fan

getting 295 from gpu 0 and 280 from gpu 1. Any tips on getting them above 300? 2 Sapphire 7970 ghz vapor-x flashed w/ dual-x bios.

Gets me 650 KHs on my 7990.

Cant get even 500KHs from my 7990 Sad

Even tried to use only one of its 7970 cores, still 200-230KHs. Ubuntu 12.04 vertminer 0.5.2, AMD driver 13.101.
Tried both:

Code:

and some values in between, still no changes.
