Title: Hashing question [Litecoin]
Post by: aqrulesms on September 15, 2012, 06:16:51 PM
I am mining with a 5850 and 7970 for a total of 850 Mhash/s on bitcoins.

My question is, how would I know how much I will get on litecoins?

Is there a website that details out the specifications for hardware much like bitcoin mining hardware comparisons?

Well, 7970s suck at Litecoin mining at current, they crash with difficulties above 12 or so, which is a problem. Your 5850 will mine Litecoins like nobody's business, I'd say around 350-500kH/s depending on OC settings and cgminer/ configuration. With that in mind, you can enter your hash rate into http://litecoinpool.org/calc and find out how many Litecoins you could make a day mining with PPS pools.

Hmm, that's interesting.  Why would the 7970 crash when mining litecoins?  Will there be a fix for such?

My OCd 7970 does just over 500, I would like to know the settings for 700+!

What settings are you guys using to hit 600+ with your 7970s?  I can't seem to get more than about 305kh/s out of mine with the following:

device 0

protocol litecoin

worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 12
threads_per_gpu 5
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 8192
long_polling yes


Edit: nvm, I just bumped my aggression from 12 to 13 and it just about doubled my hash rate.  Go figure.

you could begin using cgminer isntead of reaper, there is you're first speed increase ;)..

and, i got ~700+ kh/s out of DiCE1904's 7970 :)

the spec can be found on LitecoinTalk
