Title: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: xslugx on December 30, 2013, 12:52:27 PM Hello everyone, i've been racking my brain over this the past few days. My Asus Matrix Platinum 7970 will not has of about 570Khs, no amount of OC, tried different drivers, uninstalled then reinstalled several times, tried different versions of cgminer to no avail, ive looked here there and everywhere searching for configs and everyone seems to be getting at least 660 and I cannot even get that.
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://162.243.215.221:3333 -u xxxx -p xxxxx -I 13 --worksize 256 <- this gets me 560Khs cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://162.243.215.221:3333 -u xxxx -p xxxxx -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-powertune 20 --shaders 2048 <- this does nothign for me anything over I 13 slows me down, g2 slows my card down, im not really sure what is going on Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: djeZo on December 30, 2013, 12:53:43 PM Up the mem clock, a lot :)
Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: skyisthelimit on December 30, 2013, 12:54:32 PM I always hear these things about the 7970 cards that I do not understand why people still buy them
Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: Wilhelm on December 30, 2013, 12:56:00 PM Try higher thread concurrency.
Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: albertdros on December 30, 2013, 12:58:22 PM i thought these 7970 cards were running at like i 19?
Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: KWH on December 30, 2013, 12:58:28 PM Try --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 29576 -g 1, start with --intensity 17 and go up. Stock clocks give me around 650 Kh/s.
Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: xslugx on December 30, 2013, 12:59:00 PM I have tried the higher thread concurrency to no avail and at one point my mem clock was at 1880 lol

Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: hamiltino on December 30, 2013, 01:05:44 PM Ok dont worry about creating a bat file and running through that. Just go edit the config file and run the .exe.
Within the config file, copy the settings i have. i get about 720kh/sec, also make sure you put the url, username and password where it says at the top section of the config file.

Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: azzelden on December 30, 2013, 01:12:51 PM --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 1 -w 256
OC CORE TO 1170 OC MEMORY TOO 1800 MAX 590 Khs This is the best settings the brand soo bad In mining Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: xslugx on December 30, 2013, 01:19:15 PM Ok dont worry about creating a bat file and running through that.

Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: navyking on December 30, 2013, 01:58:43 PM this is what im able to get nowadays after i flash the bios, and under-clocked the card ( if i OC it will just go down)

Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: JamesBolivar on December 30, 2013, 02:48:12 PM Never run your Matrix Platinum at 1800 or higher on memory for mining!!! You'll brick it for sure.
Just flash the Asus R9 280X Matrix Platinum BIOS and you'll get 750 kh/s at 1080/1500 with "- I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 12000" (do not run monitor tools!). Set minimum voltage with GPU-Tweak, PT +20% and Load Line 100% keeps it cool at 1070mV.

Title: Re: 7970 unusually slow hash rate Post by: xslugx on January 03, 2014, 05:45:07 AM So I flashed the 280x that did not improve my hash, but GUIminer did improve my hashrate up to 692khs

I did not underclock yet, but my hash up to just under 700khash/s! |
