doest vertminer support the failover command?

I'm having trouble with my vertminer / other miners for some reason. It used to run fine on my 5858 around 146 kh/s. All of a sudden I try thekev's version once and it goes to max like 20 kh/s. No matter what I do now I cannot run scrypt-n at any normal rate. It is stuck so slow. My settings were the same as before, gpu doesn't really do much and the rpm stays low. It's like its running low intensity, but its set to the max of 12 for my card without HW errors.

Any clues as to what happened? I've tried using 13.9, 13.12, 14.1, 14.2 along with 2.9 apk sdk. Driver sweeper after regular uninstall along with deleting amdocl and opencl in system32 folder.

I'm at a loss. I want to be able to scrypt n mine, but this is stumping me.

Edit: Figured it out. Had a ridiculously high TC and didn't realize it could do that much damage. Set back to a multiple of 1440 and it works fine no crashes back to 140 for a 5850.

r9 290 vertminer 0.5.3


I'm seeing about 300Kh

If I change the thread concurrency to anything higher than 8193 I get errors or it will crash.  I see folks reporting tc in the 20k range, but I can't move any higher than 8193.  Anyone know what I might have wrong?

I can get 800 Kh regular scrypt without any tweaking so I should be able to get around 400Kh here.

**Just noticed that at this tc, intensity higher than 13 throws HW errors.

Thank you OP for all the help. I was getting really frustrated when I was trying to open vertminer through a batch and it popped up for a millisecond and then closed. This got me into Vertcoin!

@thekitchen Thank you for posting these settings. I am running two 280x and I couldn't get it working with any of the posts referencing the 280x specifically. I am using the 7970 settings you posted and getting about 250kh/s running verminer on linux. Is there anything I should tweak to account for the 280x vs 7970? Thanks again!

Some general tips:

• thread-concurrency: Without this set correctly, you will get many hardware errors, and a very low hashrate. Now I have zero HW errors with these settings, and a negligible number of rejects.
• gpu-engine: Set it lower than you would for scrypt mining. I was able to gain over 100 kh/s on the 290x cards by lowering the clock speed from 1030 to 935.
• RAM: As long as you have 4GB of RAM, you should be able to get the maximum possible hashrate. I have no trouble running three-card 7950 and 7970 rigs with only 4GB of RAM, while also maxing out the CPU for XPM mining.

Here are my settings, separated by type of card:

7950, at 283 kh/s:

"intensity" : "21",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "19712",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "990",
"gpu-fan" : "5-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250",
"gpu-powertune" : "10",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.075",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "90",
"temp-target" : "75",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"nscrypt" : true,

7970, at 367 kh/s:

NB - This card needs to be run with 2 threads for optimum performance, and the intensity has to be 13.

"intensity" : "13",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "1021",
"gpu-fan" : "5-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.081",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"auto-fan" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"nscrypt" : true,

R9 290x, at 456 kh/s:

NB - For this card, it's crucial to keep the temperature below 92º, because above that temp, the engine clock speed will start to drop. Don't forget to set powertune to 25, not 20!

"intensity" : "21",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "512",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "27000",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "935",
"gpu-fan" : "5-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1350",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "25",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "100",
"temp-overheat" : "97",
"temp-target" : "85",
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"nscrypt" : true,

For some reason, vertmine doesn't recognize my memory clock speed correctly.  It is always showing as 150.  Trying to change it by command line or within vertmine, nothing works.  What am I missing?

Hi guys, I really need your help. So I'm trying to get mine some Vertcoins with my 2 280x. However I constantly get this error. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

My setup:
2 Asus 280x dc2t
Maximus hero formula VI
Gskill 8GB 1600 cl9
4670K

And this is my bat file:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://eu2.bitcrush.info:3444 -u Relaxedsense.1 -p x -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --temp-overheat 85
--temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --thread-concurrency 8193

Error:

I just want to say that I finally got it working with no HW errors at higher than 12 intensity, thanks to this thread.

I'm running a single 7970 at about 320 kh/s. These are my settings...

set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -d 0 -v 1 -I 13 --lookup-gap 2 -g 1 -w 256 --shaders 2048 --expiry 15 --thread-concurrency 22400 --gpu-powertune 20 -u leptoon.1 -p 1 -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3361

One of my card is hashing properly, while second gets only 10-20 kh/s (R9 280x).
What can I do? I'm using one config for both GPU's.

Regular scrypt coins mining doesn't make any problems.

I have Quadro 4000 with 48 G Ram.

can you give me the configuration for this card?  

I couldn't setting that. I mean how can I find the following data according to my Quadro 4000 ?
thread-concurrency=?
worksize=?
gpu-engine=?
gpu-threads=?
and so on ?

Thanks so much .

There is my r9 270*3 rig config with 220kh each, total 660kh

Help me with setting/configs for HD7950 
Thank you

wow, incredible. what is your OS and your 290x video cards? MSI, XFX, saphire, gigabyte, asus, other?

no issues that i'm aware of, i dont know how to post pics of system but all three read HW:0

Very nice initiative!

and you not have a hardware error with "intensity" : "18" ?

.bat file

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
color 0A
vertminer



.conf settings

"intensity" : "18",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"expiry" : "30",
"scan-time" : "5",
"thread-concurrency" : "27000"
}

running a 290 @ 375kh/s with msi afterburner set @ power limit - 0, gpu core - 947, memclock - 1250
(stock settings)

also 2 290x's @ 440kh/s with power limit - 20, gpu core - 1020, memclock - 1500

anyone have any thread concurrency or intensity settings that will work with vertminer and give me some more hash?  probably not going to touch the afterburner settings, as these make my rig very stable, I just put them up for others to reference.
