Title: CGMiner Runs at kh/s instead of mh/s
Post by: AzureEngineer on May 25, 2013, 09:08:49 PM
CGMiner runs at kh/s instead of mh/s. I am not using Scrypt. Anyone seen anything like this?

-o api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u ***.1 -p *** --thread-concurrency 21712 -I 20

Running on Sapphire 7950's.

(I know that Slush uses 3333 for stratum, but for some reason, CGminer won't connect unless I use 8332, it also won't connect to the proxy)

what cards are you using?   and can you try it with default settings?

Sapphire 7950s. Default settings result in the same deal, just lower kh/s. The cards are running the exact same way they would if I were trying to mine Litecoins. CGminer creates a poclbm settings file when I run it, so I know it isn't running Scrypt.

That is scrypt specific.
Remove --thread-concurrency and use a lower intensity like 9.

Do you have by chance a cgminer.conf with LTC settings in your system?

You might try bfgminer or some other miner just real quick to see if it's a setting problem.  I wonder if your cards became way underclocked somehow.

This has fixed my problem, thank you.

Setting intensity over 9 is wrong for btc.
Check you don't have a configuration file with scrypt specified in that. The file may be getting loaded without you realising it's there.

no conf file, i run via a batch file or either cgwatcher
so i fixed it, and yeah i just discovered if i use intensity 20 it reverts to kh/sec.

so max of 9 for btc? i swear in the past i was able to use something higher oh well guess you would know since u wrote the program :)

it seems to do ok with an intensity of 13. still reporting in mh/sec.

ok after having a play at different intensities, 9 seems best :)
