how about bitcoin? that's all i'm mining.

edit: i've tried all the way back to 2.6.6 and i'm still getting errors. tried 1 gpu thread and intensity 1 and 2. still no improvement. looked at shaders, but it looks like it's LTC only.

imo, just get a 6 slot mobo (fill with 7790s) and good power supply (GPUs should be 480-540 watts without OCing) and you're at the same price as just the 7990 before PSU and mobo. plus they're a lot easier to get ahold of and get replacements for.

what do you mean "saved" card profile?


the 5870 slot runs at 4x (which someone i know from IRC says should even run a 5970 just fine). i'll have to play with thread and other settings, i guess.

would i be getting 94+% accepted shares if it was a bad pin connection?

what's a good version? (or at least for you)

also, thanks for the suggestions!

to save some power, i added a 7790 to my 5870 for a mini dual card setup.

it pretty much seemed to take an OS reload to even get just the 7790 working (and THAT didn't even work until i manually installed OpenCL via the MSI file from the CD that came with the card).

after a fair bit of uninstalling and reinstalling, i finally got the cards to even show OpenCL support in GPU-Z (i think it took the ULPS registry entry to do this). however, even then, all clients were crashing: CGMiner and BFGMiner; GUIMiner won't even start.

FINALLY, after i put the 7790 in the top PCI-e slot (out of 2 16x-length slots), would *anything* get a result: CGMiner, however, the 5870 only gives "invalid nonce - HW error." the 7790 works just fine. and all the other apps still only crash.

my most recent fix attempt included hooking the monitor to the 5870, it's exactly the same.

i'm at a loss.

any ideas?

currently running
Athlon II X4 630 on GA-970A-D3
Mushkin 2x1GB DDR3-1333
Server 2008 R2 x64
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 watt
CCC 13.5 beta (but also most recently tested on either "12.101.2" (whatever came on the disc) or 12.101.2.1-130416a from the website--i can't remember)

a side note just to verify the GPU doesn't seem faulty: Furmark works on the 7790 as well as the 5870.



additional finding while waiting for my ability to post:

i got finally Phoenix2 working alongside CGMiner, but the hashrate is 10m/hashes lower than it should be, but more concerningly, i'm getting ~3-6% rejections (CGminer has 0.3%). it would also be nice to be able to use just 1 app.

it's a pity the torrent isn't 7zipped...

could the next iteration of it be compressed?

edit: i wouldn't mind seeding it on my seedbox, either.

.conf is a configuration file for the app. kinda like a .ini for a windows app.

i started with intensity dynamic and 8 (my usual). just now i tested 13 with -g 2 and worksize 256, but it still crashed.

ah well, i'm NEARLY back to my normal hashes with Phoenix2 (5870) and CGMiner (7790). just 10 Mhashes short of 5870 by itself!

--worksize 256 -g 2 crashes CGminer, as does --worksize 256. -g 2 simply brings back the Invalid nonce

i'm assuming i separate each card's settings with a comma like you do Intensity?

changing to what settings?

i can't do that as i'm attempting to also mine with a 7790 :/

you don't even need an app. you can use an SMS for two-factor.

i'm getting this, too, on a dual card setup

there's a time restriction, too?

ugh, i've been "using" the board for months ;/

possibly even 1.5 years, but i dont' remember what i did when i first started out

what does the client say?

if you google "mining hardware comparison litecoin" the github table seems to indicate 345-350 should be normal

you should probably mine in a pool.

edit: oops, missed second post. but yes, i echo that.

at least there's no BTC charge like the .it wiki site ;/
