R290 (XFX black edition):
-I 20 -core 1000 -mem 1500 (Used Msi Afterburner to set clocks and aux voltage +100; Fan at 100%) Gets 400kh/s. Crashes after any cgminer restart, lol

To avoid crashing (R9 290) on cgminer restart:

In the adl.c file around line 472, just before the ADL_Overdrive5_FanSpeed_Get call, add a line above:
ga->DefFanSpeedValue.iSpeedType=ADL_DL_FANCTRL_SPEED_TYPE_PERCENT;

and run make again.

Tips appreciated: VTC: VxyRQWAzxWPWhvqYhEUCTSBVJQ2GtDJza8

I'm using

--scrypt -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 2000 --gpu-powertune 0 for my r9 270 ( Gigabyte) I've got 200 KH on my computer but in pool is wrtitten 50 KH

How many coins shoul I mine per hour with 200 KH and with 50KH ? Should I change my settings or should I change the pool Cheesy

with the current diff i think around 60-70 coins a day with 200 kh/s

how long do u monitor pool stats ? if you only have 50 for hours the stat is maybe wrong or u have a lot of hw errors or rejects
if not and you don't get enough coins i would change the pool to test things out

The only thing I've needed to change for Vertcoin is thread concurrency. These seem to be the optimal ones for the cards I've tried so far:
R9 290: 24550
7950: 19712
5850: 5120

Thanks for the 5850 TC. 5120 seems to be the only one that works.

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

I just check follow your config.
Result:
3 x 350Khz/s
1 x Off Sad

I'll come back with VTC someday.
So, I want to say thanks to you.
Good luck!

Ok managed to get 1 rig working, however my other (pretty much identical) rig will no work without a really low TC and gets loads of HW , if i increase the TC the GPU's will disable and i get a Error -5 cl and nothing happens..... like i said everything the same , cards, drivers....

I ran into a similar problem. I think there was a problem with the version of the modified cgminer software I downloaded. Delete and reinstall with the following steps for gpu mining with windows:

1) Download modified cgminer scrypt: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksgtrltpah1eqes/Vertcoin-CGMinerAleksNR3.zip

2) Use notepad++ to create a .txt file, then convert extension to .bat file.

This is the code I've been using for dual x280's:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.bitcrush.info:3444 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password -I 12 -v 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8191

This is the code I've been using for dual 6950's:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.bitcrush.info:3444 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password -I 12 -v 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 4096

*these are the TC's I found to work the best. Anything higher than 4096 will result in error. Any intensity >12, and your mining shares won't be accepted.

3) Run created .bat file

x280 = 275-350 kH/s
6950 = 125-175 kH/s

Goodluck Grin

So is this miner just not compatible with only 4gb of RAM? Has anyone been able to get it running without errors at over 13 intensity? I have been trying every setting and TC for the last 3 days and have yet to get it stable above 13 intensity. Right now I'm at 250kh/s on an r9 290 and 13 intensity.

I never used cgminer I dont understand how to add or change these settings what do I do exactly?
I downloaded the modified cgminer and signed up with a pool but it just says in the pool that I have no hashrate

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...

Code:

"intensity" : "20,20",
"vectors" : "1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2",
"thread-concurrency" : "27000,27000",
"shaders" : "0,0",
"gpu-engine" : "939-939,1040-1040",
"gpu-fan" : "20-95,20-79",

"gpu-memdiff" : "0",

"scan-time" : "1",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"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.

2 x 290x settings.

A few notes - this miner seems to be pretty finicky, if you are getting HW errors at 20 intensity just restart the box. Had issues with that when first starting out, haven't seen any HW errors since.

I found that decreasing gpu-engine about 2% under Scrypt levels boosted hash rates: 415Kh/sec -> 424Kh/sec and 460Kh/sec -> 474Kh/sec

Code:

"intensity" : "20,20",
"vectors" : "1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2",
"thread-concurrency" : "27001,27001",
"shaders" : "0,0",
"gpu-engine" : "917-917,1015-1015",
"gpu-fan" : "20-95,20-79",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-overheat" : "100",
"temp-target" : "93",
"api-listen" : true,

Anyone have settings for r9 270? Or know what my hash rate is supposed to be?

My normal hash rate with other scrypt coins is 460 Kh/s.

mine is: cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pickaxe.pool.pm:3305 -u metraque.R9270 -p x -v 1 -w 256,512 -I 12,18 -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 1020,1050 --thread-concurrency 8191,12000 --device 1 --remove-disabled
pause
217kh/s, but I get 14 HW errors and running for 10 min.

7950: 19712

Just keep in mind when changing Threadconcurrency think about changing Intensity as well. running high intensity on low concurrency can be detrimental

Thanks. I was just about to post about that. I was having very high rejects (8-15% or so) and dropping my intensity from 20 to 19 helped a lot. Would dropping it even lower help on a dedicated mining rig?

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
