I can get my 280X's to run with settings others have used, but get tons of HW errors. I have 2x Sapphire Dual-X 280X with Elpidia memory.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Code:

COLOR 0A 
vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u -p  -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

That's HardWare errors.

After some time of mining the speed on MSI 280x drop to 230kh. XFX 5870 is stable.
You have a idea why this is happen?

Thank you. I find the answer already. and change the settings:

for msi 280x:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A
--gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8193

for xfx 5870:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A
--gpu-platform 0 -d 1 -v 1 -w 256 -I 18 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8193

and add +2gb ram. total 4gb. Seems with 2gb when start to mining pc restart itself but with 4gb is ok.

Looks like your hashrate is super low because of HW...

I not know what is HW. Can you explain me, pls?

That's HardWare errors.

As you can see there have only 2GB ram. Perhaps more cards RAM is important, but second is not.
Your Invalid 0 (0.00%)

And more of this CPU is on 100% because I mine Qubit coin.

Trying to get some help. Followed the linux install guide on the main forum exactly (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vertcoin-first-scrypt-n-first-stealth-address-privacy-without-mixer-404364). The miner is running but I can't see any GPU stats. Any suggestions?

i am getting 320khs on Saphhire 7970 with the same settings,4GB RAM Grin

after sometime i am gettings 355khs,thansk alot

what parameters are you using? I couldn't get any accepted share with my 7970.

Thanks a lot OP! Switching from the modified cgminer to vertminer really helped.

My 280x was stuck at ~220kh/s with -I 12, as -I 13 was producing HW-errors like crazy. Also thread-concurrency 8193 didn't work at all, so I was using 6144.

Now after switching all those problems have just vanished and I'm getting nearly 350kh/s with this:
--lookup-gap 2 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8193 -v 1 -g 2 -I 13 -w 512

So thanks again, awesome job!

could someone please help. this is my command for normal scrypt.

u xxx.xxx -p xxx --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 --intensity 12 -Q 0

i have a vtx3d 7870 le tahiti and i get 345khash/s.

could some please tell me how to change it for vertcoin. thanks.

Gigabyte HD7990 @ 1.025 VDDC, running Bufius' vertminer 0.5.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

--gpu-engine 950 --gpu-memclock 1200 -v 1 --intensity 13 --lookup-gap 2 -g 2 -w 256 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192

I could not build the CL kernel with these settings when I had only 2GB RAM in the machine. It worked when I put another 4GB in for 6GB total. Maybe 4GB would be enough but I didn't get to test that as I returned the 4GB module I borrowed for the test.

Increasing memory clock gives no extra speed, just a bit higher temps and more power consumption. What's also strange is that going up to 1050 or 1100 MHz GPU clock did not increase hash rate at all, no matter if I used 1200 MHz or 1500 MHz memory clock. 950/1200 was the best setting I found. As the HD7990 is two 7970 on the same card I believe these settings should work just fine for HD7970 too.

Ok vertcoin is definitely different than normal scrypt coins when it comes to memory speed. On normal scrypt coins with my core 950 mhz, it doesn't make any difference if I clock memory to 1000 mhz or 1500 mhz, but for vertcoin it does. My 7990 is now doing 650 KH/s with 950/1250 settings, 2048 shaders, 8192 tc, 256 worksize, 2 GPU threads. I will experiment more.

What should be the expected hash rate for a 7990?

We don't know yet as no one with enough RAM in their machine (4gb+) seems to have found optimal settings. With 6GB RAM in my miner, I manage to build a CL kernel that gives 500-520 KH/s on my 7990 when it's clocked at 950 mhz with 1000 mhz memory. These clocks give me 1330 KH/s for normal scrypt coins like Doge etc., and since vertcoin is supposedly performing at 50% my settings are not optimal. With my core/mem clocks, my 7990 -should- be able to reach 650 KH/s on vertcoin but so far no cookie, and I'm still not sure how very different the memory use of vertcoin is. Maybe memory speed makes a bigger difference on vertcoin than normal scrypt. I'll keep experimenting and will post the best results I find.

I Have a big problem with 4x r9 290.
One of my 4 gpu is not mining (GPU 0)
Right after running vertminer 5.3.0 graphic driver reports an error. the screen starts to blink and then screen back to normal.
But the verminer says that gpu 0 is mining at 0 khash/s.
Tried different settings with no luck.
My settings are:

--scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u user.w3 -p x --thread-concurrency 24550 --lookup-gap 2 --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 1250 -w 512 -I 20 --gpu-powertune 20 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 40-85 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-target 70 --temp-cutoff 95 -g 1

http://img.ctrlv.in/img/52f8a784e63cd.jpg

system specs:
i5, 8gb ram

Please help!

Ive been reading in order to mine VTC that you need faster RAM. Does anybody have a link of the exact RAM that would get the most out of my cards?

Thanks
