Did my comment increase your hashrate?

Dude, you can't 100% rely on these calculators....

Bitcoin mining wasn't as intensive on the cards, so it was easier to still use them for other tasks.  Since Scrypt uses a lot more ram than SHA256, it makes the system a lot less stable for multi-tasking.

Running 2 threads (-g 2) also doesn't help you if you're planning on using the GPU for other tasks apart from mining.  I'd suggest running at 1 thread with a higher intensity that you lower manually when you plan on watching movies.

As I said before, the auto-gpu flag only adjusts the gpu-engine speed based on temperature, not activity. You should, however, include a range for the gpu-engine flag.  You might also consider using a .conf file.

As far as getting your hash rate higher, it would be helpful to have a screen shot of cgminer that has been running for at least 10-15 minutes.  Also, please include the full command that you are currently using the start cgminer.

I don't get it, I remember mining bitcoins on my gpu and there was a variable option that would adjust my gpu, it would do something, and worked. I was watching videos and everything mining bitcoins. I lowered the intensity to 10 and no difference.....I even tried lowering it to 1..........but cgminer didn't like that for some reason.

The thread what I'm refering to is here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cgminer-intensity-command-242495

Here's what I have so far.

color 02
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
C:\cgminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.ltcrabbit.com:3333 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://gigahash.wemineltc.com:3334 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://gigahash.wemineltc.com:80 -u x -p x --thread-concurrency 25984 --temp-target 80 --auto-fan -w 256 -g2 -I 13

There's an option "--autogpu". This sounds like exactly what I need (sounds like). But I don't know how to get it to work while I'm watching movies. I asked this question before in the past and it's something like this -temp-target 85 --auto-fan  --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 500-970 --gpu-memdiff -150 --gpu-fan 25-80 -I 7
I watch a lot of movies :-P



Btw, whoever finds out how to get me close to my hashrate generator calculation (643kh/s = 0.15955335LTC/day) is gonna get some small litecoins. I'm only getting 1.2/day and it sucks, and doesn't make sense. My miner is reporting 643 average. That's a big difference it projected earnings and ACTUAL earnings.

So start posting your address when you help. ;-)

Dont try the config above.

Instead of -g 1, try -g2 and -I 13. This should be perfect for the 7950's.

A great pool is ltcrabbit.com. Check them out.

JAy

if you use gigabyte hd 7950, try this setting :

timeout /t 30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -I 20 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 25984 --gpu-engine 1065 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-vddc 1.087 --temp-target 80 --auto-fan -o *your url and port number* -u *user*.*worker name* -p *workerpass*


change the *.....* variable ( without * )

auto-gpu is only used to keep the temp at/below the target-temp, I don't know of a way to dynamically have it adjust settings if your computer is being used.  You can always just open up the cgminer window and turn down the intensity on the card that you'll be watching the movie on.

Is there a way to have cgminer for litecoins to use variable clock speeds that adjust like when I"m watching a movie or something on the computer that's mining? I tried adding --auto-gpu BUT it appears to not be working. I'd like to be able to watch movies and cgminer would adjust my gpu accordingly. Here's my cgminer script. I'm mining litecoins on one gigabyte 7950

color 02
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.weloveltc.com:3333 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://gigahash.wemineltc.com:3334 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://gigahash.wemineltc.com:80 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://usa2.wemineltc.com:3334 -u x -p x --auto-gpu --thread-concurrency 24000 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1145 --gpu-memclock 400 --gpu-powertune 20 -w 256 -I 19 -g 1

Any suggestions for my script would be appreciated. I basically just copy pasta'd from the "litecoin Mining hardware comparison" wiki

Thanks, I'll give her a try. Let me ask you a personal question though. Do you mine litecoins on this pool? Do you make very close to your projected earnings via a hashrate generator? Do you get real close to the ammount your video card is SUPPOSE to make?

Sorry I can't think of a better way to word that. Basically, do you get paid what you should? wemineltc just isn't cutting it as you can see. What's been your experience?

weloveltc.com is a great pool with no fees and 265+ workers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
***Bump

I need a suggetion for another pool to use, reliable pool, with low to no fee. Thanks in advance!

I-NEED-SUGGESTIONS-FOR-A-NEW-POOL
I'm only going to mine overnight from now on. So PPS algorithm would be the best right? Suggestions please!

Sorry,  I wish I had an answer for you... but I just don't know.  That graph is only the last 24 hours, I seem to remember there being a way to zoom out and see more history?  The graph you posted is in line with what you have earned, but if you've been mining at that same rate and stability for 3+ days you should obviously have more. 

Right here buddy. Hope this helps. If I did it wrong. I'll post a new pic. Thanks so much for everybody that's helped so far!

That's very weird.  What does your hash rate graph look like over the week?

I revised my post right above yours, please re-read it. Cgminer reports 598kh/sec - Average. Here's a screenshot of my miner AND my dashboard.

The numbers don't EVEN COME CLOSE to matching up.

Is your cgminer showing any HW?  Even a few are detrimental to your hash rate.

What is your hash rate on WeMineLTC?  Does it match what cgminer says?

I've had miners pointed at WeMineLTC for over a year now, and I've never had a problem with them skimming me.  There was a problem about 5-6 months ago when LTC mining was being exploited, and that made a lot of people think WeMineLTC was skipping.  It was later proven that that wasn't the case.  WeMineLTC was also not the only pool affected by the exploit, they just happened to have been one of the largest pools at the time.

I've been mining at wemineltc BUT I've heard rumors that they've been skimming peoples coins. That's very dirty. Reminds me of the time 50btc fucked me over 3 coins, deleted my account, etc etc. I'm looking for a litecoin mining pool with a very low/no fee and is reputable.

Ugh.......I hope this pays off..

Edit:
I'm mining at 600kh/sec. According to the hashrate calculator I'm using. I should be making this every 24 hours.

I'VE BEEN MINING FOR THREE DAYS (almost 24/7) WITH VERY LITTLE OFFTIME. Hashrate calculator says I should be makeing 0.17/day at 600kh/sec

AFTER 3 DAYS MINING I have a measly 0.12 LTC!!!!

SEEMS PRETTY FUCKIN SCAMMY!!!

I need a new reputable pool, or somebody needs to clear up my confusion. I'm new, I'm confused, and this seems slimey as shit!

This is the hashrate calculator I'm using.

Coinbase? What, I thought they did, well sorry for that, and if you dont like BTC-e, Then you can try this site called Cryptsy, It takes almost all type of currency available.

What site? I checked, and coinbase doesn't accept litecoins (yet). And that BTC-E website looks-complicated-as-hell. Please verify, and thanks to everybody that's helped so far.

Yea, check out the site.
