Title: Pool showing really low hash rate, Cominer showing expected hash rate Post by: mrkubanftw on April 30, 2013, 04:51:19 AM Hey guys, pretty new at mining.
HD 5870 " Cgminer --scrypt -o -pooledbits.com:8337 -u username -p password --shaders 1600 --intensity 18 --worksize 256 -g 1 " I have cgminer and am attempting to mine ltc from a pool (pooledbits.com) Basically I'm getting high hardware failure. In the 10 accepted I had 0 rejected and 340~ HW (30 minutes) My pool is only showing 16Kh/s and cgminer is showing 400~. I'm guessing the low hash rate on the pool is due to the hardware errors. Why on earth would I have hardware errors?

Oh also I'm running latest sdk, lastest drivers and cgminer 3.1?

FYI I tried cgminer 2.1 with catalyst 12.8 drivers. Still didnt work. When it didnt crash every two seconds i still just load out HW errors.

I have a 6870 in an Ubuntu server, with cgminer 3.0 and Catalyst 12.10. This configuration has worked well on several pools...currently trying out WeMineLTC: Code: { For your 5870, this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0) suggests that you might want to stick with Catalyst 12.8. Also, you'd probably want to bump thread_concurrency up to 6400. Make sure kernel-path is correct for your system (on my Gentoo miners, for instance, /usr/lib/cgminer is the correct value). My 6870 delivers about 290-300 kH/s with this config. Title: Re: Pool showing really low hash rate, Cominer showing expected hash rate Post by: MashRinx on May 02, 2013, 10:53:16 PM Try BFGMiner. The same (or very similar) settings should work between the two. I had similar issues on one machine, while I didn't on another and it mined LTC on CGMiner like a champ. As an almost last resort I tried it and it mined LTC much better for me that CGMiner. Not sure why though...
Title: Re: Pool showing really low hash rate, Cominer showing expected hash rate Post by: mrkubanftw on May 02, 2013, 11:19:53 PM Sorry I haven't updated this. I got cgminer working with older ati drivers, 12.8 I think? Then I installed 2.4 sdk and it still wasn't working. Then randomly it worked. Maybe I had a few restarts in there. But basicay it wasn't working at all until I got that. 58xx cards are suuuuper picky, but they snag great hash rates! I'm getting about 430 steady with no overclock.
Oh also I tried some of the older versions of cgminer (correlating with age of the drivers). Didn't help any, when I got it working it was the newest version of cgminer with old drivers. |
