Title: All GPU's Settings / Results Thread
Post by: Peleus on April 18, 2013, 03:06:48 AM
I humbly suggest we have a consolidated place to post what type of card we have, what settings we're using, and what the results are.

This aids in others trying to fine tune their card for optimum performance, and gives a good idea of what to expect in terms of hashrate. Please try and keep on topic so it's more of a reference for people rather than a discussion surrounding it.

Suggested standard format.

Card(s): 7950 x 4
Algo / Coin: Scrypt / LTC
Miner: Cgminer 2.11.4
Config: --thread-concurrency 24000 -I 18 -w 256 -g 1 (otherwise stock)
Results: 500 kH/s per card - Temp ~75c

I think these pages are intended for the same thing:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison

But either way...

Card(s): 2x 5830, 1x 5850
Algo / Coin: Scrypt / LTC
Miner: cgminer 2.11.4
Config: -I 14 --shaders 8000
Results: 221, 221, 182 khash/sec (total ~620 khash/sec)
Comments: I didn't spend much time tweaking settings since this is running on free electricity (dorm room).  Actually one of my friends set it up so he pretty much configured everything.  The machine seems somewhat unstable and also isn't cooled very well so we start running into problems if crank it up much more. (especially with LTC)

Machine is headless, I use ssh or x11vnc to connect. Cards are in a milk-crate case, so heat is not a problem - fans run at about 50%. Haven't fully tweaked things - at least one card crashed at gpu-memclock 1500. Currently trying to figure out under-volting. System power consumption with dual-core FM2 athlon, ssd, is 750W
