Is there someone runing 2*290 under win7 with 4gb ram.I can't go across threads larger than 14000.But with 8gb ram even 27400 is ok.

I see some people have their intensity above 12, I cannot get my rig to go above 12 without massive hw errors and no accepted.

Running 2 different rigs with 3 msi 280x ea
all cards can only hash around 200-300 where as with other scrypt i was up to 700-750 per card
I know it should be 1/2 of the total hashrate but mine is falling quite below that.

Any suggestions.
Both rigs have 16gb ram.
Running windows vertminer with the simple provided conf and some additional settings
Tried thread concur 8192 and 11200(works better and was previous setting)

Here's what I've gotten so far on a test rig, it's just 3 random cards (Sapphire 270x, Vapor 270x, AMD 7950) which usually does ~1.3 MH/s.



I can probably get a little more, but no HW errors makes me happy!  I'm glad I found this thread, I had WAAAYY too high TC's at first.  This is with 8193 TC on 2 cards and 22400 on the 7950. Seems like the 2 x 270x's are underperforming just a bit (they were ~470 e, I'd be happy with 200-210 vert mining)  Does anyone have recommendations for my setup?  Here's my config file



My temp seems to be a bit lower mining this coin, is that normal?  Only like 5 C difference.

Settings for Sapphire reference 290 and Sapphire 290 Tri-X. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm gettiing round 320kh and a WU of 290 on each card. I got the TC by multiplying shaders and subtracting 64. The reference runs at 74c and the Tri-X at 62c. High TC or intensity won't load the kernel and disables the cards. Overclocking seems to crash and I'm using vertminer0.5.3. No HW errors yet and hardly any rejects. Not sure where to go from here. I have 8GB RAM installed.

vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ecurie.io:3333 -u giantkin.c1 -p xo -d 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8193 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-95 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-target 80 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-powertune -20 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0
pause

3 280's

The above is working getting roughly 330-350 khs    usually.  however they drop to 100 each, then cycle back up. (temp hits 84 at the 350 range)   only 75ish for the 100 range.

Same setup but all one command the system would freeze after 1hr (to 4 hrs)  and need a hard reset.

this setup running an hr so far.


Why the freezing with all in one.

Why the drop in hash.   Im ok with variable speed etc, but it drops so far, seems kinda odd.


(my device 2 runs hotter than the other 2)
device 0 sometimes needs 2x to start up clean.   (this is the monitor device (tho, no monitor atm))

oh i am running 0.5.2   i noticed, so my next step is to update  the version.   

System 
Win 8.1
4gb ram
2 psu's  550, 850 (2 cards)     (maybe i should put all three on the 850)

Thanks

Hi Folks !

I have a strange problem. I have 5 rigs of 4 sapphires 290x TRIX. Mining SCRYPT I get around 3.5Mhs per rig. I have 8gb of ram on each rig, 4 cards using USB risers, 60% fan and the temp never get more than 80c, and often in the 70C range. The rig are stable. Sometime ATI drivers crash, but autoreboot and no problem.  I wanted to use one of the rig to test Vertcoin... Here my problem begin.

I use Vertminer 0.5.3 and the following parameters :


The goal was to see the generated parameters and use them. I did that for cgminer and it works well.

Here I only get 2 of the 4 cards mining and at a rate of 500hs. Not kilohash, just hash... I reboot 20 times in order to make multiple tests, but I never manage to have 4 cards mining, and worst, the 2 that are mining are not always the same !!! Plus, if I run cgminer on anything else, everything is working fine...

What is hapenning ? Is it a nasty plot to not allow me to mine Vertcoin ?

can anybody able to get stable at least 24 hours 450kh/s from 290 trix oc can share his setting?I can run 6-7 hours straight with this:

but after 6-7 hours either pc freezes or 1 of the card driver stops responding using catalyst 13.12

Hello,

I'm running vertminer 0.5.3.
i7 4770
MSI R9 280X 3G
8GB ram

My .bat config :

Always get lots of HW when -I above 12.

Currently Im running in -I 11 115Kh/s without 0 HW.

Anyone know the solution?

Ati R9 290, CGminer OK! but vertminer...



My Bat


PROBLEM???

Can someone please convert this to a .bat format?

"temp-target" : "75",

setting for 290(non x)

1000/1250 or 1025/1440, then TD 8192 I 18 g 2, should be ok for any 290

Could someone share settings for 270 (non-X) cards ? I have 5x gigabyte 270 and 5x asus 270.

Are you still having problem?

I got my 280X working from Scrypt to Vert within the hour. It was really tricky as it's tricky when it comes to settings.

And your best bet is to use Vertminer 0.5.3.

If any error appears, just try changing the settings.

For example if there are 2 GPU running at 1050, then put 1050,1050 instead of 1050. Minor stuff like that could just fail the rig.

I agree with you guys that VTC mining is not easy, or let's say settings are not easy.

I run 4x Saphire R9 280x dual-x cards with 4GB Ram. The rig runs very stable with no HW and very low RJ on win7 and cgAleksminer. Each card does around 363kh, just gpu 0 goes down 1kh sometimes,
it also doesn't like if I spy with radmin, it will drop 10-20kh but return quickly after

I can't run a .config file, I will never get that hashrates if I choose a .config over a .bat file. I also can't use BAMT for that reason, hashrates will simply fuck up. For me it is all about
using -g 2 over -g 1 in my .bat file. If I use -g 1 instead of -g 2, all gpus will be found immidately, but they only do 280kh. Now when running -g 2, I have to restart cgminer around
3-15 times until all GPUs work. So all the fail starts only get 3 gpus running and always a random gpu will be offline. I have 2 HDs, on my SSD I can't get all gpus running at once anymore, therefore
I need to reinstall windows as it seems, I know that sounds weird but that happend after I closed the miner last time. Somehow I believe the blame goes to CGwatcher, maybe not, who knows? Anyway
I work with my replacement HD now and everything works as I just wrote. Have a quick restart of cgminer for several times and all will be fine. Look at the picture, miner runs since 8.5 hours on that. No HW, No RJ. Indeed I get a few RJ sometimes, but that depends on the server as well. Never was much more than 2%.

here are my setting:




PS: btw there is another big settings thread here !

thanks for your reply but since I use msi afterburner will it still work with those memclocks in my bat wont it conflict with the afterburner settings?

Try this :
vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp[Suspicious link removed].poolz.net:3333 -u troj.1 -p 2 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8193 --gpu-engine 1044 --gpu-memclock 1500 --shaders 2048 --gpu-powertune 30 --lookup-gap 2

I have 3xr9 x280 vapors and get 370-372 each

I've been changing my settings to try to get rid of the hw errors. But for some reason what kind of setting I try it steel seems to get HW errors.

I have 4 280x toxics, tried 8191/8182/8193 and tried 1100/1500 1070/1500 etc etc

anyone could help me here or has the same cards?


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp[Suspicious link removed].poolz.net:3333 -u troj.1 -p 2 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192

My afterburner settings atm:
core voltage 1131
core clock 1100
memory clock 1500

Anyone??

I had the same problem, it's not ram I have just 2go and it works !
Remove the two setx gpu ...

you will need to modify this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
Changes are effective after rebooting.

can anyone post the settings for sapphire hd 7850 1gb ddr5?

I only can get 18 khas..... 

Thank you!!!!!!!
