                                       setx gpu_max_alloc_percent 100

any help?? Sad




You only need to enter that command once at the command prompt. It doesn't need to be a command in a .bat file that is run every time. It will say:

Code:
Success: specified value was saved.


If it works correctly, and that's it, no need for that command again.

Also, have you tried it with the above MSI Afterburner settings?

There is some problem:
- I can't set intensity greater than 13. With 13 i haven't any hw error, with 14 or more, i have too much hw error.

- I can't set thread concurrency greater than 8192. If i use greater value i have this error--->
maximum buffer memory device 0 supports says 536870912
your script setting come to 939524096
error -61 etc
failed to init GPU thread 0 disagling device 0


one question: that overclock need an overvolt too?


No, they aren't overvolted except for that powertune setting in MSI Afterburner. They are voltage locked Gigabyte cards.

They are running on the 13.4 win7/8 x64 driver. Maybe flashing the card with another 7950 bios would help if nothing else will work. (there are guides on the forum, don't have the links handy though)

Oh, and they are running cgminer 3.7.2.

Also, download MSI Afterburner: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

Change settings to:

Power Level +20
Core 1152
Memory 1406

(MSI Afterburner works even if your card is not MSI brand)

Your thread concurrency is way too low. Try 25984.

Here is the cgminer.conf which gets all 3 of my 7950s up to 655kh all day long:

First I am a newbie here, but I am not a newbie in the digital world. The reason I want to register and post is all the sudden I have a good idea or want to talk to a very interesting post. However, the so called newbie policy killed the passion.

Looks like you're not a newbie anymore. Congrats.  Grin

Re: Invest in Bitcoin

I am interested in investing in Bitcoins, but I am not sure how to start, where to invest, how much to invest etc. I would really appreciate if someone can guide thru some basic steps for dummies to get started. I can't mine so I am interested in buying bitcoins and trading.

Thanks

The best way to get into Bitcoins right now is simply to buy them on an exchange such as BTC-E, Bitstamp, etc. Buying mining equipment right now is not a good option for someone who is new to this. You can easily end up losing a big chunk of money. At any rate, BTC has touched $1200, its current level is not the top by a long shot. I'd say start watching one or two exchanges to get a feel for the price fluctuations, put some cash on the exchange with which you are most familiar, then buy bitcoins on the dips. When everyone else is jumping out of windows and it's  lost 50% of its value, that's when to buy. Not when it's been skyrocketing in value for days in a row.

Good luck!
