Title: So I'm new, looking to get better numbers
Post by: SentrySkills on November 28, 2013, 06:08:01 AM
Hello, Everyone.
So lets get down to the point

RIG INFO:
Windows 8.1
MB: Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (3.6GHz)
MEM: 8 GB
GPU: 1x Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6970 2G, 256 Bit (800 Core / 1250 Memory)

I have my HD 6970 overclocked to 900 core and 1500 memory getting about 370Mh/s with following settings.
Not overclocked I get 320Mh/s

RUN.bat
......................
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
start bfgminer -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://server1:port -O user:pass -o stratum+tcp://server2:port -O user:pass -o stratum+tcp://server3:port -O user:pass -I 10 --shaders 1536 --thread-concurrency 6144 --temp-target 75 --auto-fan -Q 5 --gpu-engine 900 --gpu-memclock 1500 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 95 -w 128
.....................

I'm I using the right miner?
Are my settings/flags correct?
What can I change to get better hash rates?

Ideas? ???

This page has some configurations to try: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison. When I was mining with my GPU, I used cgminer and I found that the default settings for cgminer worked the best.

BTW, I hope you realize that the bitcoins you mine will not be enough to pay for the electricity (assuming you are paying normal rates for electricity).

I'm looking in to buying a BFL Jalapeno 7, to counter that. I'll give cgminer a go and see if I get any better Mh/s.

What about LTC mining? Isn't that still ROI-positive and lucrative?
