guys, have you noticed something strange with cgminer?
evry time i start cgminer i see a lot of accepted shares by each vga /minute.
after a day, the rate of accepted shares is reduced alot (lets say 1/min!!!)
then i restart cgminer and i see again a lot shares/minute!
wtf is going on?
i use the same pool, hashrate is always the same as WU value too!
am i missing something?

edit: i think i get it. the diff of each share is increasing automatically and they are fewer as time goes by. no problem Wink

windows , I'll check your settings [ unfortunatelly they dont's work Sad

]

Try
-I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 8000 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine YOUR_CARD_DEFAULT_CORE_CLOCK --gpu-memclock YOUR_CARD_DEFAULT_MEMCLOCK_CLOCK
Or just
-I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 8000 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 1000

Works on Windows 7 x64 for me (Driver 13.9)

I've got WU 40.1/m ( what is WU? Sorry I'm new in this stuff)

WU - that's the Work Utility, defined as the number of diff1 shares work / minute (accepted or rejected).
Sow very roughly it's you hashrate after exclution of HW. But including any other rejections.

Grr I'd rather mine doge instead Sad

Nooooo.... Don't give up with Vertcoin, I've played with config a week, from diff 0.6 Grin

And if you decide to go for DOGE, better go for Skeincoin than

For my r9 270 I'm using

--scrypt -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 2000 --gpu-powertune 0

the other confing simply doesn't work. I mine 200 Kh according to cg miner but 50Kh according to pool ( i'm mining 20+ hours) I can mine max 2 Vertcoins a day Sad

Windows or Linux?
Under linux I've finally managed to get 170kh with 7870 which is basically R9 270:
-I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency auto --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1250

And to check you real hashrate instead of pool's dashboard you can use WU in your miner

I am running 3 r280x OC and 3 r280x VaporX with the following config

-g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8921 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune -20 --lookup-gap 2

After some testing, the funny thing is the 3 r280x OC are giving me 370+ Kh/s each but the 3 r280x VaporX only give me 270+ kh/s each
For other scrypt coin both type of card give me ard 725kh/s each.

Anyone using r280x VaporX have any idea?

are u using cgwatcher?
had the same problem while using cg, problem was solved after throwing away cg and using standalone .cmd scripts
and don't forget the setx commands!

R9 280x from Nonny12:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o POOL-ADDRESS -u username -p password -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --gpu-fan 59,50 --temp-overheat 85,85 --temp-cutoff 90,90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --thread-concurrency 8193

I have 4 card R9 280x, only 3 card run and 1 fail.

If I down --thread-concurrency 6000, them run but with big number HW.

Some one help!

Thanks.

my miner with 4 x 280x is running with moded 3.7.2 cgminer an the following config

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
--scrypt -o server -u user -p pw -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-memclock 1600 --thread-concurrency 8191

3 x 350 kh/s
1 x 230 kh/s (monitor conect on this device)

no rejects
hw errors 0.01% no problem i think

i'm using 4gb of mem if you have more u maybe need to tweak my settings

good luck

Hi gonzzo

My system: Cpu: 3.0 Celeron, Ram 4G, 4xCard Asus R9 280x. I still have problem
3x350 Khz/s
1xoff Khz/s

which miner and os do u use ?

at the moment i have 4 x 355 kh/s, moded cgminer 3.7.2
config:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o server -u user -p pw -v 1 -I 13 -w 256 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --thread-concurrency 8193 --no-submit-stale

while experimenting yesterday on a other worker with 3 x 280x i had some problems with devices going off, after a reboot the problem was solved (same config) not sure what it was

My sapphire 7950 on a computer with 4gb ddr2 cannot go past -i 13 without getting hardware errors, I've tried thread-concurrencies for hours. Currently it's only doing 160kh/s

My XFX 7950 is fine and pulling about 200kh/s --thread-concurrency 16384 -i 19

I've yet to get a 5870 to run at any -i 11 without errors Undecided

I had some success (250kh/s per card!!) with sapphire 7950 dual-x cards using the linux vertminer client (v0.5.2) built from github and the following config - I've only undervolted gpu and mem to 1.125v (as an FYI)

--scrypt-vert --lookup-gap 2 -I 20 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 16384 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500

I also set --temp-target 77 --auto-fan and my fans run at about 50%

the difference between HW errors and none has been the --lookup-gap switch

For r9 270 Any ideas? I got only 170 KH

-I 20 -g 1 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1100 --thread-concurrency 14208

gives me ~215 Kh/s

2 x 290x settings. Wow this miner is really picky about TC, this was the only one that didn't result in HW at 20 intensity. Seeing 415Kh/sec and 460Kh/sec with these, might play around with the GPU Engine later on...

"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"scrypt-vert" : true

Are you running 4gb RAM? I can't seem to it mining correctly with only 4gb at any thread concurrency. Too high and I get error enqueueing kernel error and too low gives HW errors.

No, running 8GB ram on my miner. I'm using linux, but have this set up in my .sh file:

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

Hopefully that helps =)

Getting ~ 335-345 kH/s per card or 670-690 kH/s total using...

Code:

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u user.worker -p password --gpu-platform 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 -T --thread-concurrency 8192

My clocks are set externally at:

1000 MHz core @ 1.15v
1640 MHz mem @ 1.625v

edit - with regular Scrypt, these cards each get about 690 kH/s with the same cgminer settings.

sooo, I´m running a Gigabyte r9 280x rev. 2 Catalyst 13.12

My Settings:

Code:

color 02
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Vertcoin-CGMinerAleks_NR3\cgminer.exe" --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.bitcrush.info:3444 -u -p -w 256 -I 13 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-fan 59 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1100 --thread-concurrency 8212 (marginal difference in range between 8190 to 8250)

I am getting exactly 304.7 kh/s
with the normal cgminer I am getting about 730 kh/s

My problem:

It spits to many rejects out with an ratio of 12% (!!!). I tried playing with:

thread concurrency, no effect - 70% of 8192 = HW´s on mass

trying with -g 2 or higher was unsuccessful

lowering core clock resulted in lower hash speed (memclock the same)

lowering intensity induced lower hash speed

I really don´t know where the problem could be. Please help me Cheesy

The rejection rate is a catastrophe!

Problem solved. I changed the pool, now everything is running smooth!

What hashrate are you getting?

I have Gigabyte R9 280x, v3 my settings are:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://s.la.vertcoin.org:3333 -u -p -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --thread-concurrency 8192

And I am getting around ~300 kh/s - I'm used to seeing 720 kh/s. I've tried -g 1 and changing thread-concurrency but there's not much change. There are so many variables with this I'm hoping another Gigabyte user will share their settings.

Oh, I have underclocked the card, voltage set to 1.075.

Thanks!
