Title: 7850 Slow Shares?
Post by: fyubr on April 16, 2013, 10:33:06 PM
I just bought a new radeon 7850 and I can get around 350-400 average hash running cgminer

But im connected to netcodepool and it says i'm only running max 50khs even after 3 hours of running it.

My bat settings

Code:
cgminer --url http://netcodepool.org:8337/ --user fyubr.1 --pass x --scrypt --thread-concurrency 9999 -g 1 -w 256 -I 20 --vectors 1

Does anyone see anything I might have wrong there?

FYI I am trying to mine litecoin and have 4gb of ram installed.

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

Still new here and to mining, but maybe can help some.  Your CG - pool variance can prolly be helped by reducing your -I a bit as it may be too high since only 50 on pool.  Also, where did you decide the 9999 for concurrency?  Is your card the 1gb or 2gb version?   If 2 gb, maybe try 16384 or if 1 gb try around 12288.

See if lowering the -I and changing concurrency helps.

The 9999 was just a random number inbetween high and low

Code:
cgminer --url http://netcodepool.org:8337/ --user fyubr.1 --pass x --scrypt --thread-concurrency 12288 -g 1 -w 256 -I 1 --vectors 1

how does that look? (thanks for the help btw)

EDIT: I tried what I posted above and it keeps crashing cgminer

hmm, well 20 - 1 is a lot!.  maybe try something like this

cgminer --url http://netcodepool.org:8337/ --user fyubr.1 --pass x --scrypt --thread-concurrency 12288 --intensity 16 --workspace 256 -g 1

See if that works

Edit: if you you haven't enabled higher concurrencies yet;  Open command prompt and type: setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100  and hit enter

Tried that and it just closes, I have already enabled the max gpu, when I lower the 12288 to under 10000 it seems to work, should I just keep that 9999?

Hmm, is your card 512mb of ram instead of 1gb?  If it's 512 by chance; try 8092.  IF it IS 1gb maybe just try removing the -g flag;  12288 should be np for 1gb.
