Title: Help mining LTC with 6950
Post by: guitarplinker on November 26, 2013, 01:30:32 PM
Hi,

I'm looking for some help mining Litecoins with my 6950 (flashed to 6970)

I'm running it alongside my GTX 670 with a dummy plug. My GTX 670 is in the top slot closest to the CPU, and my 6950 is in the slot below it. I'm using NVIDIA drivers 327.23 and AMD drivers 13.11. Whenever I try to mine using CGMiner with this config:
Code:
"D:\Users\XXXX\Downloads\guiminer-scrypt_win32_binaries_v0.04\cgminer\cgminer.exe" --scrypt -u XXXXX -p XXXXX -o stratum+tcp://ltc.give-me-coins.com:3333 --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 18 --shaders 1536 -g 1 -l 1 --auto-fan --temp-target 75 --thread-concurrency 8000

CGMiner opens, and then gives me this message: https://i.imgur.com/d1trhbg.png and then crashes a few seconds later with "CGMiner has stopped responding"

I've tried CGMiner and BFGMiner with basically the same settings and they both crash right off the bat. I'm currently using GUIMiner and it seems to work by using CGMiner (not sure what is going on, I tried using the bat guiminer generated for CGMiner, but it crashed too) but I would prefer CG or BFG because of their fan control, and then I don't need to use Sapphire Trixx or similar.

Do you have any suggestions about what I should try to do to fix this?

Have you tried removing the Nvidia card for testing?

No, I haven't done that yet. I'll try that this afternoon and see, but the GTX 670 is staying in this computer in the end, no matter what. If I can't get it to work right I'll probably sell the 6950.
