Title: Phoenix Miner - slow? Post by: antares on July 02, 2011, 09:44:22 PM Hi people. I just bought some 6770 some time ago, and I've been using it for mining since about three weeks. I was using ubuntu 11.04(since I cant get everything up with debian), Catalyst 11.5 and poclbm. Ok so with stock clocks, I get 170MH/s out of pocl. Two weeks ago I overclocked the card from 800 to 850, it was producing about 182MH/sec. Yesterday, since it was all running stable, I pushed the card to the max clock, that aticonfig supports. Everything runs finde, Hashrate is about 195MH/sec.
So far, so good. I then wanted to try the phoenix miner, using the following(got it from the wiki) settings: -k phatk PLATFORM=0 DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=13 This gives me 165MH/sec which is even lower than the 170MH/sec the card does on poclbm without overclocking. Can anyone tell me what I just did wrong? Title: Re: Phoenix Miner - slow? Post by: aceman1011 on July 02, 2011, 10:43:42 PM Try setting platform=1. Phoenix isn't the fastest miner necessarily...
Title: Re: Phoenix Miner - slow? Post by: mf on July 03, 2011, 10:55:18 AM For my 5770, phoenix is the only one that reaches speeds of 218.00 MH/s. All the others lag behind.
I am currently using the svn version, and launching it as follows: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/ python phoenix.py -u http://user:pass@host:port/ -k phatk DEVICE=0 BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=13 WORKSIZE=128 -v I suggest you play with: - whether sdk 2.1 or 2.4 is best (if you use phatk, you need 2.4) - whether VECTORS makes a change for you or not - WORKSIZE depending on the card either 128 or 256; despite what the wiki says, I get better speeds with 128. - the speed of your memory -- despite common claims, for me 960 was the best rather than 600 (although I could not go lower than 600) Not too shabby: $ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Sensor 0: Temperature - 73.00 C $ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Core (MHz) Memory (MHz) Current Clocks : 960 960 Current Peak : 960 960 Configurable Peak Range : [600-960] [600-1445] GPU load : 99% Title: Re: Phoenix Miner - slow? Post by: aceman1011 on July 03, 2011, 08:02:46 PM Mf, you are wrong. I use SDK 2.1 with phatk and it works fine on my 6870 and 5830s.
