ok around 310kh/s with my asus R9 280X with the following config:

--scrypt -o server -u user -p pw -v 1 -w 256 -I 12 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1600 --thread-concurrency 4096

maybe som1 can use it 2
adios

Thanks for this. Since 7970 pretty much == 7970, this should work for 7970 too.

np mate.

i have more then one worker, all with the same gpu's but one one i have to set the gpu-engine to 1070 (default for the asus R9 280x gpu)
if i leave it to 1100 the worker falls to around 240 kh/s after about 30-60 minutes, i have no iedea why (after a restart i will get 310kh/s again for 30-60 minutes).
with 1070 the worker is running stable with 300kh/s. strange .....
so maybe you have to tweak my setting a little

Heya

using asus R9 280X but i can't get over around 230kh/s (should get to around 350 kh/s)

can't set --thread-concurrency to more then 4096 or i get the following error:
Error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease TC or in crease LG

i'am using VertCoin-CGMinerCPU-Aleks_N on windows 7 64-bit

any help very welcome - thanks!

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!

can't seem to get much with my 7970 Sad

anyone have a good config to mess around with?

Many thanks

I'm running an R9 290, and here's my settings:

Code:

-w 256 -I 16 --thread-concurrency 27400 -g 1

I get 375-380 KH/s, which I suppose is decent, but sometimes when cgminer starts up, my entire system crashes. It'll say cgminer is starting, then the window goes blank like its about to start, but then my system locks up. I can move my mouse, but clicking on anything does nothing. Alt-Tab and CTRL-ALT-DEL do nothing. After about 15 seconds in this state, my entire screen goes black, and it stays in this state until I manually power off my computer.

But it only sometimes does this. And when it works, it'll work as long as I need it to. Once its running, its perfectly stable. It is only the initial start-up that has an issue.

Bump to get some more settings - please can someone contribute a working 7950 config.

k nvm. i ran it the same setting again. only this time i removed any additional .bat i had in the folder. i read it somewhere last night that having more then one .bat file in there confuses the mod cgminer

Good to hear you got it fixed - I presume you mean the .bin files cgminer generates?

Yes, modded cgminer for vertcoin should be run in a different folder than regular cgminer, so the bin files from the wrong version don't get picked up.

well, kinda.

i made two .bat files . one solo and one for the pool. the modded cgminer was on a different folder and not in the original cgminer. in its own folder i had those two .bat files together with all the modded cgminer. so i was having problem running it. but once i remove the solo batch away i was able to run the pool batch file. anyways i shut it down since i was too late to the train ride and was gonna collect small payments. good luck to you all

i can run solomine fine but i can't connect to pools. help ? im using the modded cgminer
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 1 cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu2.bitcrush.info:3444 -u uu.uu -p x --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://s.ny.vertco.in:3333 -u uu.uu -p x -I 13 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1080 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 85 --temp-overheat 83 --temp-target 78 --gpu-vddc 1.087

Strange that you can't connect to the pools, but I do notice you have -u and -p set twice in that command line, maybe that is doing something strange?

You might also find that the work the pools hands out is different difficulty (because of vardiff) than solo-ing, and that this is causing the GPUs to HW or something odd like that. You seem to have a pretty extreme overclock there - try backing it off a bit, or just running stock to ensure you can connect to a pool, then bring the overclock back on by working your way up.

thank you for reply. yeah i did try multiple gpu memclocks and gpu engine. it doesnt work

why i have this error on gcminer when start:
error -1 : getting device IDs nun

Did you compile from source? If so, it sounds like you didn't have the AMD SDK installed and GPU mining support hasn't been compiled into your binary. Install the AMD SDK and rebuild with:

CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -march=native -I/opt/AMDAPP/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/" ./configure --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt
make

I am getting a stable 240 kh/s with your configuration and the same gpu ...
Have you done something else ?

Not anything significant that I can think of. I did crash with intensity 20 after a few hours though, switched to I 19 and so far running stable at 300 kh/s. I have Catalyst 13.9 and I'm on Win7.

I was running on catalyst 13.4. I switched to 13.12 with a thread-currency of 20480 and now I have a decent 300 kh/s.
Thank you
