Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs
The settings I use on other scrypt coins give me massive HWs too. What I ended up with was 8192 thread concurrency, I 13, and 2 gpu threads. That is working pretty darn well with no HW.
Oddly enough, disabling crossfire, restarting and enabling again seems to have resolved the issue. Everything I mentioned previously works now, no crashing.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck at all with the Sapphire 290X Tri-X and what their settings are?
Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs
Specifically, these settings: vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vertcoinheavyindustries.com:4444 -u xxxx -p xxxxxx -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --thread-concurrency 8193
Not sure what happened, those settings are pretty conservative for the tri-x cards.

Do you normally mine other coins with 1000/1500 clock speeds? I'd suggest lowering them back down to factory defaults and seeing if that clears your game up.
Edit: I'm not sure which card you own but the standard tri-x cards ship with 1000/1250 and the Sapphire OC ships with 1040/1300. Make sure your memory is back down to 1250 if the cgminer crash has left it at 1500.
Yes sir, I mine at 1088/1500 for other coins. When I tried testing a game, I brought it down to the factory 1040/1300.
Anyhow, I'll poke around a bit, I don't see anyone else having this problem so it's probably related to something else I'm sure...Just ironic that the issue happened as soon as I started mining VTC.
No harm though, I can always RMA!Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs
Decided to try and mine Vertcoin, within 3 minutes of using the settings on page 1 my rig crashed. Now it locks up and crashes indefinitely when trying to mine any altcoin. I had zero problems using cgminer to mine other coins for three weeks straight.
Also, just tried to play a game (BF3) to test it, and the whole rig crashes immediately.

It sounds like you used settings that overclocked your video card too high. Use Saphinre Trixx or some similar program to make sure your clock rates are normal. cgminer doesn't reset the block back down when it exits (except maybe in latest version), and that won't happen if cgminer crashed. If you are too over clocked then you'll keep having problems in video games, mining other things, etc until you move your speeds back down.
I didn't see any cgminer settings on page one so I don't know if they included overclocking or not.
Sorry about that, my mistake- I meant the first page on another thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450310.0

I'm pretty sure mining for Vertcoin just ruined my TRI-X 290X.
What happened? Im just about to buy those.
