Title: guiminer question
Post by: hmongotaku on September 12, 2011, 06:21:06 PM
Now with the new guiminer out v.2011-08-24 as well as the phoenix 1.62 kernel out as well. Anybody have problems trying to tweak a few mh/s ???
I think i noticed the 1.62 kernel doesn't work well with it, since it's for command line? Should I try to dump the 1.62 into the phatk2 folder, replacing the 2nd version and run a command link "-phatk2" as my flag? Anybody tried out newer SDK 2.5 or 11.8 catalyst or downgrade to 11.6 again? jw if it helps.

My specs: 4x 5850s... running 880/300 mem. 1440 total mh/s. on sdk 2.1 and 11.8 catalyst drivers on a windows 7 64 bit.

-k phatk2 VECTORS AGGRESSION=14
for dedicated mining or no monitor plugged into it. WORKSIZE is not specified because it's not needed. it'll default to the largest worksize your card can do. Dedicated cards for mining should be running 300-350MHz on the memory for this.

or

-k phatk2 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP=true AGGRESSION=4
for any video adaptors that you actively are on the PC for (internet browsing, gaming, etc). You should not need to adjust your memory speed for this (1000-1300+ MHz)

Now my question to you is how are you using guiminer on sdk 2.1? with 2.1, guiminer for me won't find -any- adaptors. Are you sure you're using 2.1? double check with gpu caps program. 11.8 driver comes with 2.5 sdk.

I'm using 2.1 and if guiminer doesn't work anymore, that's terrible because the old version used to work for me

I now prefer cgminer, it's almost like a gui, lol
