Hello . hoping that someone with 6870 gpus or some knowhow can help me out.
I just started mining LTC but im getting less share per minute then with BTC mining. im getting few HW on one of the cards. alot of both if i change thread concurrency

color 02
cgminer --scrypt -o http://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3334 -u xxxx -p xxxx --shaders 1120 --thread-concurrency 4800 --gpu-engine 900 --gpu-memclock 1000 -I 13 -g 1 -w 64 --temp-cutoff 95

xfire 6870 6850
win 7 64
latest drivers
latest sdk
works perfectly fine with btc

Im not sure what the thread concurrency should be at but 4800 gives me best results so far

In general the result in termes of hashes should be more or less equal. But for LTC it is kH/s instead of MH/s for BTC. Not sure but I think I read something about factor 0.9xx
according to the config you use the same settings for different cards, this might lead to the HW errors. Set the parameters for each card helps perhaps. Also for the finetuning. If your computer is dedicated to mining you can raise the Intensity to 16 or even more. Shaders setting is obsolete as long you are also using the thread-concurrency setting.
Also the thread-concurrency can lead to HW errors if it is set too low. Some said the tc should be a multiplier of the shaders, some say it should be a multiplier of 64. good is what gives best hashrate.
