Title: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 05, 2014, 07:06:02 AM hey guys i dont know if this is on the right catagory but heregoes
i started mining a few days ago on a pool called COINKING. i mined for a solid 2 days but my hashrate was incredebally low. i was mining at a solid 37.8 Kh/s. I used the pools premade scrypt to my corresponding gcard which is a Visiontek 7790. the pool didnot have a scrypt for a Visiontek card, but i downloaded a 7790 one. i am using cgminer 3.7.2 here is my scrypt.bat file Quote setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us1.coinking.io:7777 -u matt2dlg.1 -p x -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8000 --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-engine 920 PAUSE and my cgminer.conf Quote { "pools" : [ { "name" : "dogechain.info", "url" : "stratum+tcp://us1.coinking.io:7777", "user" : "matt2dlg.1", "pass" : "x", "pool-priority" : "0" } ], "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1", "api-listen" : true, "expiry" : "120", "failover-only" : true, "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin", "log" : "5", "queue" : "1", "scan-time" : "60", "scrypt" : true, "auto-fan" : true, "auto-gpu" : true, "gpu-threads" : "2", "gpu-engine" : "985.950.960.1000", "gpu-fan" : "0-85", "gpu-memclock" : "860.825.835.875", "gpu-powertune" : "20", "intensity" : "13", "temp-target" : "75", "temp-overheat" : "85", "temp-cutoff" : "90", "temp-hysteresis" : "3" } Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: atsuky on September 05, 2014, 12:54:54 PM Try to rename the cgminer conf with other name and use the bat to start the miner, maybe the conf file is corrupted and can't load a properly config and mine with default
Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: amacar on September 05, 2014, 05:25:52 PM Use either .conf or .bat with arguments. As I see this .conf is definitely wrong for your graphic card.
You should get more than 230kh/s, so 35kh/s is very low. Check here: https://litecoin.info/mining_hardware_comparison (https://litecoin.info/mining_hardware_comparison) for 7790 settings and try which one gets you the highest hash. Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 06, 2014, 01:40:08 AM which one should i choose? theres a bunch of configs for different brands of 7790s. no visiontek
Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: notlist3d on September 06, 2014, 03:12:01 AM which one should i choose? theres a bunch of configs for different brands of 7790s. no visiontek You will have to try a few then. If there is not a pre-done one those give you a idea of where to start. One of the things about GPU's is setting up configs. I do suggest doing ROI math for most gpu is dead sadly. Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: MaxDZ8 on September 06, 2014, 06:28:51 AM I think it is important to note that Scrypt mining at this point can be carried out only as an exercise.
With an hashrate so low, are you sure it's GPU mining in the first place? I had a report from an user who somehow couldn't use his GPU. For some reason, the driver would go full CPU emulation. Are the CPU cores loaded as normal? Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 07, 2014, 06:47:23 AM yea i believe so. but im using my gpu, not my cpu soo...
Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: Gumbork on September 07, 2014, 07:29:44 AM yea i believe so. but im using my gpu, not my cpu soo... Did you try diffrent setting on gpu thread? Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: amacar on September 07, 2014, 10:09:27 AM At first just set thread concurrency and gpu threads (-g flag) and you should get over 160kh/s, because memory and core are then for fine tuning.
Also install altest AMD drivers and maybe AMD Sdk Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 08, 2014, 08:06:34 AM thanks so much for you guys responses. after trying pretty much every config, i still cannot get more than 50kh/s. i noticed somthing though. im getting hw3 errors and no matter how i set my setting it always shows my gpu at 0%. here's a screenshot.

Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 09, 2014, 02:28:20 AM you mean without the .bat? i dont think you could run a stock config lol. if you can tho, tell me.+
Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: MaxDZ8 on September 09, 2014, 06:10:58 AM I mean with no overclock.
But anyway yes, last time I tried with no configs at all the miner guessed a nice config anyway. Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 10, 2014, 02:26:55 PM so its all fixed. but a few things. cgminer says im mining over 220Mh/s. BUT im constantly getting temporarily banned, and my pool is not showing anything. my hashrate according to the site is 0, my workers health is "unavailable" and i haven't gotten a single coin. but cgminer says its running smoothly!
Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: amacar on September 10, 2014, 02:32:30 PM If you get temporarily banned then you are sending too much of invalid shares. Try changing worker on pool (worker.2 for example) and if the same happens try changing pool and if the same happens you have something wrong in your settings.
Anyway 220MH/s is surely wrong Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: D3PTH on September 10, 2014, 03:20:09 PM changed pools, but heres a screenshot
http://i.picresize.com/images/2014/09/10/g7lL.jpg as you can see, MH/s and also still getting banned Title: Re: low hashrate Post by: MaxDZ8 on September 10, 2014, 04:15:05 PM You are most likely mining SHA256D... or some other algo which is not scrypt. Post your startup .bat! I think 7790 will be in the order of a two/three hundreds khs!
As a side note: depending on pool and block speed, you might have to mine quite a lot before getting coins (not that any of this matters if you get banned).

I can't believe how no one has told you, given the many responses here. Give up on GPU Mining, btw.

I think 7790 will be in the order of a two/three hundreds khs! i have no bat file. that was what was screwing up my miner in the first place. im mining scrypt. doge and anonAs a side note: depending on pool and block speed, you might have to mine quite a lot before getting coins (not that any of this matters if you get banned).

Well you need a bat file to add the --scrypt flag. If it's displayed in MH/s, you mining SHA-256, and not scrypt.
