Title: Thread concurrency to low on Saphire 4890 Viper X 2GB
Post by: mgoldfinger on November 17, 2013, 08:12:19 PM
rather stuck here....

I am playing around with a Saphire 4890 Viper X card and for some reason I can not get the Thread concurrency above 2048, which should be way to low for this card.


currently using CGminer 3.7.2, Windows 7 64-bit, with scrypt:

cgminer --scrypt -I 13 -g 1 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 2048 -o stratum+tcp://<URL> -u <USER> -p <PASS>

Hash rates are good though. At i13 +/- 113khs and at I15 around 150khs


I tried:
- reinstalled Catalyst drivers
- several versions of Cgminer
- I can increase  thread concurrency if i lower --lookup-gap to 3, but this should not be needed at these levels? setting the gap to 3 allows me to inrease thread concurrency to about 3400, which is still less then normal for this card

any ideas?

Thread concurrency doesn't really matter per itself. What's important is to maximize the hashrate without hardware errors.

the card is pretty old id be surprised if anything past 1200 is safe.
