Phoenix, works best for me. CGMiner is a bad choice, really bad choice, and I explain why. My Radeon 6870's mem clocks set to 300 mhz, and CGMiner .... just guess what its doing with clocks when I run it. Plus, it's phat kernel is less effective than phatk2. When these MAJOR issues will be fixed, yep, it will be the best, but so far - nope, thanks.

cgminer doesn't change any GPU setting unless you tell it to.

Kinda like saying my car sucks because it keeps slowing down when I engage the parking break.

By the way, did anyone try CGMINER on a 79XX with -k diakgcn -v 2 -w 256? I would like to know how far I'm behind or if there are cases, where my kernel is competitive.

Dia,

I am getting ~671 Mh/s with your kernel vs. ~688 Mh/s with Diablo's.

Cgminer, with this version of Anubis to monitor the entire farm. Thread for Anubis here. Someone else took over Anubis and made their own git (hence the first link). It is incredibly awesome for managing several machines at once.

I like cgminer, but I prefer everyone else to be using guiminer...(intensity 1 please)

I prefer CGMINER, too ... it's written in plain C and that makes it small and fast. Tried DiabloMiner, but I really dislike the fact it needs a Java runtime (a great plus is it's advanced kernel). Another miner, which I think need's to be mentioned is Phoenix, that's one I'm fine with, too.

If you're using a 79xx card, I recommend DiabloMiner. I get roughly 3% increase over CGMiner.

cgminer has diablo kernel available. -k diablo

cgminer. no reason to use anything else.

IF you want you can use cgminer w/ the poclbm kernel (or any other kernel) by using -k command line argument or "kernel" config file parameter.
