Topic: Utility to find the best GPU / MEM clock combination (Read 1636 times)

you should explain it a little more details

Hi guys, I've created little PHP script that will walk through GPU / MEM freq. combinations and log
hashrate to text file.
It will use aticonfig for GPU/MEM freq. modification and cgminer's API to chech hash rate.

Usage
php ./findOptimalFreq.php gpu_id gpu_from gpu_to memory_from memory_to freq_increment delay_sec

GPU_ID - it's ID under which aticonfig sees the card  [ you can list cards with aticonfig --lsa ]
[ cgminer must see it under same number ]
gpu_from - testing freq. from [ example 900 ]
gpu_to - testing to
memory_from - testing memory from
memory_to - testing memory to
freq_increment - step size [ example 2 ]
delay_sec - delay between changing freq. and measuring hash rate [ 10-15 seems to be good ]

Output goes to ./testGPU'datetime'.txt
