Title: 7850/7870 LTC performance
Post by: bumbox on March 29, 2013, 08:15:20 PM
Hello Guys!

Please share your performance results for LTC mining on 7850/7870. Also please post your card model and vram size.

I got this XFX 7850 Core Edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150642

with OC of core, it's mining at 310-320Kh/s :D

Asus Radeon HD 7850 2gbGDDR5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121651

Default: 860 Mhz GPU / 1200 Mhz Memory

At that rate i get 340-360 khash/s according to GUIminer...

Overclocked to

1050mhz gpu / 1450hmz mem
and it goes 350-370 khash/s...

Can you post cgminer settings? Not the super long douche one. The bat file config.

using GUIminer ver of cgminer

threadcon: 15508
vectors: 1
gpu threads: 1
use stratum: no
flags: none
worksize: 256

Intensity 14 will get me 300-330 and i can use computer without it being crap

Intensity 17 ill get me 350+ but pc cant be used.


on the cmd ver i got...

cgminer --scrypt -o http://xxxxxx:xxxx -u user.1 -p x --shaders 12404 --intensity 16 --worksize 256 -g 1

made the bat file with egEasy, cause i dont know how to really use the cmd ver... but it gets me 340 khash/sec with them settings

Wow thank you so much man. Been struggling forever to get more than 280 hash a sec, your settings are getting me 350!

Wait wait.. no.. I'm getting HW..

Hardware errors. You shouldn't be getting any, I got a couple within seconds on those settings.

Have you tried over clocking? Hit like 1000mhz...

You using GUIminer? Or what?

CGminer. 7850's are just a bitch for scrypt - at least in my experience. I get 330 Mhash/sec easy but nothing I do for khash works.

i am running a rig with 6x msi 7850 and i am getting 400kHs at least out of every one. 3 are better so i get around 415 kHs :)

Bought them cheap for 122€ so it is 2.40 kHs to 2.45 kHs for only 730 € :)

i have never tested btc though ...

Clocks?

1200 engine, 1225 to 1200 mem (has nearly no impact).
default clocks are 900:1200 (they overclock like a beast).

i had to raise vcore for 2-4% to get 1200mhz stable.
some cards are with 1.21 default vcore, some are 1.138 and one is 1.075.
1.21 is stable @ 1150 (max vcore is 1.225)
1.138 @ 1.184 with 1200 mhz. --> maybe more is possible
1.075 @ 1.09x with 1200 mhz. --> also more possible

oc memory doesn't bring anything to the table. clocking from 1200 to 1225 only brings 1.x kHs more. lol. i  am just doing it for christs sake :)

I don't get it why to buy 7950 cards when these are maybe 30% more efficient.

Got 2x msi 7850 2gb oc 1.138 and can't oc engine more than 1150 (stable), best results 360 kh/s with 1050/1250...

yeah even with best results:

250€ 7950 @ 650 = 2,6 kHs per €
130€ 7850 @ 400 = 3,1 kHs per €

7850 20% better performance (and i am not even couting W)

That is true. I have the same results.
You have to increase VCore slowly (5 mV steps) --> my cgminer will crash only if something went wrong

you will get around 396 kHs with 1150.

1150/1200 - 300 kh/s
1150/1250 - 330 kh/s
1050/1250 - 360 kh/s

1150/1200 - 300 kh/s
1150/1250 - 330 kh/s
1050/1250 - 360 kh/s
thats extremely strange :o

got ?
http://geizhals.at/p/810205.jpg

only 1 GB onboard.
Tc should be really high --> i need 12k to get no HW errors.
Intens --> 19
You should not have to increase mem to get better performance.
also the higher the engine clock the better...

My friend got 4x 7850 1gb and still have 400 kh/s with 1150/1250, and me with 2gb version just 360 kh/s... o.O

when you get more hashes with lower core clock you have to find the best ratio between core/clock. If you found the sweet spot try to increase both values that you will remain the ratio

Hey,

I'm using the gigabyte GV-R787OC-2GD. I bought it from microcenter for 250$. It is very easy to use - compared to my 7970 cards.
Hashrate: 450 kh/s (scrypt)
I run it with 1.1 mV instat of 1.219V (?) (msi afterburner).
CGminer 3.11
I: 19-20
thread currency: 24000
shaders: 1280
enginge: 1080
memclock: 1435
The temperature is usually 68-71C (card is directly above my power supply, but no other card is next to this one)

Wow thank you so much man. Been struggling forever to get more than 280 hash a sec, your settings are getting me 350!

Wait wait.. no.. I'm getting HW..

--thread-concurrency 8192

Increase the number if you want to, that's just the number I use for my 6950 miners

$250 at micro? return that shit. mine was 209 with a $10 rebate. Tell them to match price, and get difference. or Get it from frys.... (if you can)
