Other / Alternate cryptocurrencies / rubbish new gpu, rubbish old wetware, broke the software    on: December 21, 2013, 09:11:49 AM
xfx r7970 - fx - 797A - TDFC

hashing now on Bitminter client ~ 510 M/hs

was hashing yesterday on cgminer scrypt ~ 400 k/hs

worked out all the memclock etc tunings then lost them, never mind, was approx 22400, 1125, 1750 didnt touch voltages yet

until i started messing with - g arguments in cgminer 3.5.0 .bat file

computer froze, cgminer never worked again

uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers, ccc, sdk etc. thoroughly

tried different versions of cgminer pre 3.5.0

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888 -u x.1 -p x -o stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333 -u x -p x -I 13 -w 256 -- auto-fan

yesterday this .bat with or without threads=8192 got me ~ 300 k/Hs before i started tuning for memclock, otherthing and threads. today cgminer disappears



please help: did i buy a bad model anyway of the 7970?

can I get it mining scrypt once more?

how can I be so dense? Huh Grin
