Re: The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

on 29/03/2014, 01:28:45 UTC
This is what my bat file for my attempt at vertcoin mining.  I have a 7950 and am getting 330kh/s, which is awesome but I am running at about 90C  Huh  Not sure if I am not using the temp set command correctly.  Any suggestion, I don't want to burn my card out.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://westlist.cloudapp.net:3444 -u Draxus.1 -p angel --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 --shaders 1792 --gpu-powertune 20 -w 256 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --temp-target=75 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90


I also have a different bat file where I set my clock but that is running around 310kh/s but I'm still around 86C

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://westlist.cloudapp.net:3444 -u Draxus.1 -p angel --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 --shaders 1792 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1450 --gpu-powertune 20 -w 256 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90

It was crashing windows as well....however I have not been able to test these new configurations as the internet at my house has been down for the past day   Embarrassed

Also as far as the crashing goes,  is it just crashing cgminer or windows as well?

After following the above method this what I got....

?
I'll let this run and see if it crashes after a while.  I should also note the low hashrate...but I'll play with that later if this works.  Would the setting max gpu be required every time?

Just realized CD means change directory...

I get Pool 0 slow/down ....so I will try again with a different mining server


Hmmmmm

Try the following, use cgminer:

First delete your .conf file in the cgminer folder (back it up somewhere else if you want)

Open cmd, type:   setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Then press return and close cmd. Then open a fresh cmd, CD to your cgminer folder and then input the following:


cgminer --scrypt -o yourpool -u yourusername -p yourpassword -s 2 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -w 256 -g 2

Press return and let me know what happens Smiley

update:  Hashrate keeps dropping to about 120 then climbs up to 300ish and then up and down

The only conf file I have is an example.conf

Also I wasn't sure what you meant by "CD" to cgminer and type that stuff.  So I made a new Batch file with what you said...not sure if that gives the same effect.  

Anyway it is running...hasn't crashed yet

Slight update....I wiped all my drivers and went to reinstall catalyst 13.4 and I got an error when I installed SDK 2.8

AMD APP SDK SamplesFinal Status: Fail
Version of Item: 2.8.1016.5
Size: 130 Mbytes


EDIT:  Wouldn't let me install the SDK samples because there was an old folder in my documents.  I deleted that and now it installed.  Still having my issues.

I guess my real question is, should I uninstall my drivers and go to an older version?  If so which catalyst and sdk drivers are people using successfully?

Hey all,

So I can mine BTC fine, but I want to mine LTC....but I always crash.

I have tried using multiple configurations in guiminer scrypt, reaper, and CGminer.

I have a sapphire 7950.  It came clocked like this:
GPU Clock: 925
Memory Clock: 1250
VDDC: 1250

This card is in a PCI 2.0 X16 express slot
I have 8GB of Ram.

My best success is using the high usage in setting in Guiminer-scrypt....sometimes I can up to 3 hours before it crashes, at about 530khash/sec.

I am using the 13.4 Catalyst Drivers and I think the 2.8 SDK  Whenever I try to reinstall the SDK I get a failure....not sure if that is because I upgraded to 13.4 catalyst.

Any ideas?

I never go over 75 celcius and my PSU is 730W

If I run CGminer...my comp crashes

If I run guiminer scrypt I get stuck on compiling kernal

and if I try reaper I get this: http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8959/reaperfail.png

Re: 7950 - Hashrate 400 Mh/S Help!
by

on 02/05/2013, 13:11:44 UTC
So just an update, I have been averaging 500 Mhash/sec pretty constantly and have been very happy with those results...however yesterday I cleaned out my case fans and am now getting 515Mhash/sec on average  Roll Eyes

So moral of the story....if you are in a case keep it clean hehe


That is actually a very nice feature with CGminer...I may have burned my card out had I not known. 
Glad you like it, I spent a lot of time on that code  Smiley

Now that I understand some of the commands in it, I can't believe I used anything else  Grin
Thanks for developing it!

I guess my next step is to get more fans for my case haha

Ya my 7970 is OC'd to 1200MHz, and I get little graphic glitches and flickers sometimes, esp when using Chrome. It's not bad, and doesn't hurt anything. The only thing you gotta worry about is when your driver crashes or freezes, then you've OC'd too far.

If you can go to 1100MHz in MSI AB, try the same settings in CGMiner. I bet you'll be closer to 550MH/s.

cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Draxus.worker1 -p C -I 7 --auto-gpu --auto-fan --temp-target 70 --gpu-fan 40-90 --gpu-engine 600-1100 --gpu-memdiff -150

The nice part about CGMiner compared to GUIMiner is it will actively monitor the temperatures to make sure you won't damage your card. The settings I gave you will adjust the fan, and even dynamically lower your overclock to prevent overheating, thus saving your card from damage.

I am using this new line of code and the 1100 seems to be running fine...however I am averaging 504....earlier when I was 1000 my average dropped to about 504.

I am using a PCE express 2.0 mount on my mobo, could this be limiting it?  Or maybe I should downgrade my Catalyst (13.4).  As of right now I am thrilled I am maintaining 500 and not crashing, I am just not sure why I am still lower.

Thank you so much for your help!

EDIT: Just realized in my picture that my core clock is only running at 955MHz even though the code will let it run up to 1100.  I am guessing then that my issue is heat, its not letting it go any higher to maintain at 73 Celsius and 90%fan

EDIT:  Just rebooted my comp and relaunched CGminer...I avg 522 and very stable, going to let it run for a bit and see how it does


So I tried that CG Miner Configurations and I got about 499...just didn't want to break 500 haha.

If I mess with Afterburner I can get this.....So this was running stable and then my screen starting flickering.  I had the same issue in CGminer when I increased the 1000 number.  Does flicker mean my card is messed up?  Or does that mean just slow it down?

If you want to be safe, stick with 80% lowers...you could however include the guides for what needs to be milled and drilled.  That is perfectly legal.

In my opinion you should be able to send me a fully assembled lower without any hassle but sadly my opinion is not the law  Undecided

So are you thinking CNC or 3D printed with abs?

Also would these be 80% lowers ( I know for certain that is legal)

And I just tried running this:

cgminer --scrypt -o http://mining-foreman.org:10341 -u Draxus.1 -p x --shaders 1792 --intensity 14 --worksize 256 -g 1

and I got about 4 seconds on hasing before my computer rebooted....


Also if I mine bitcoins I get about 430mhash/sec using guiminer and that is stable will run for days without crashing
