Title: Radeon 7970 problems... Post by: JayBee66 on April 09, 2013, 11:20:39 AM Hello,
I have to post this here as I can't post anywhere else. I have just bought a 7970 to replace my 5830. I use cgminer --scrypt for Litecoin mining and it reports that I am getting 600kHashes/s and yet I am only getting one accept every 2 minutes. My old 5830 was getting 8 accepts per minute. I am using a PCI-e 3.0 motherboard. Any ideas what is wrong? ADDENDUM Okay, the card can only take an intensity of 13 whereas the 5830 did best at 20. I am getting about 12.5 accepts per minute compared to the 5830's 8.4 ADDENDUM 2 Okay, 14.5 / minute with -g 2 50% improvement but £200 more to buy. What a waste of money!!!

I shouldn't grumble with the current price of LTC. Okay, head down and mint! Title: Re: Radeon 5830+7970 problems... Post by: Aurum on July 01, 2013, 10:32:03 PM I can't get these to play together. It seems to be the 5830. When I start cgminer it compiles a bin for the Tahiti but crashes trying to compile the 5830. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Any chance someone has a working conf file? TIA
