Title: Help with cgminer settings
Post by: brockoli on December 16, 2013, 01:32:44 PM
Hi guys,
  I've been referencing the forum for months but went to reply to a post today to help someone out and discovered I'd never actually posted before and thus haven't cleared the newbie hurdle!

  Maybe someone can help me.  I've been mining FST for the past few days on a pool and I'm not really seeing the return that coinwarz shows for my hashrate.  I'm doing ~1200kh/s and according to coinwarz that should yield ~500 FST/24h.  I'm seeing more like maybe half of that.  My first assumption is that the numbers at coinwarz are sort of pie in the sky, theoretical maximums.  Though my litecoin mining in the past has come very close to them.  Second thought was my cgminer config might have to be tweaked since the parameters of FST are a bit different than LTC.  And thrid, maybe it's the pools I'm mining in.

Here is my config for a 7970.  Some of the settings of course are specific to that card, but which ones typically need to be adjusted for coin/pool?

Code:
"intensity" : "13",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"shaders" : "2048",
"gpu-engine" : "912-912",
"gpu-fan" : "0-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1550",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"auto-fan" : true,
"expiry" : "2",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"scrypt" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Cheers

Don't believe in CoinWarz. It algorithm is too simple and total misleading. It assumes that it is only you on the earth mining such coins. Therefore, you can solve all the block. However, mining is zero-sum game. You lose when another wins.

Are there more realistic calculators out there for alt coins like FST or WDC?
