Title: GuiMiner stuck on starting?
Post by: bak3donh1gh on August 06, 2011, 10:41:50 PM
OK so im trying to do some mining with guiminer. It seems like pheonix(using latest core) is the fastest/most efficient but when i try to start mining all the happens is it says starting...
Im on windows 7, fully downloaded blocks, port 8333 is open. Cat 11.7 and Stream 2.5 all x64. on a xfx 6950 unlocked to 6970 running at 900/1400 and an i5 overclocked to 4.7ghz.

The weird things is that ufasoft works giving me about 250 mhash/s(though it doesnt seem stable) though it makes my gpu run waaay hot (hotter than folding@home does at higher fan speeds)

also does anyone know what flags i should use for this gpu these are the ones i've been able to find online for pheonix. WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 VECTORS

thanks

What version of the guiminer you using? I have the one from 7-1-2011, and pheonix is not fast for my 6870's, 5850's or 5830. I use the normal OPENCL miner (I think its poclbm ??) and use the flags -v -w 128 ...works great for me (for that version). Let me know!

im using the most recent one

Edit: ok i figured out that part of the amd app sdk wasnt installing and found a way to install it. Now guiminer wont open at all. I tryed uninstalling amd app sdk and it would open again and of course stoppped when i reinstalled it.
