1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 4870x2 getting less MH/s than wiki says I should be? on: October 14, 2011, 02:02:44 AM
Can anyone help?

Sometimes, when I play a game, my clocks go to 750/900, and if I run guiminer after that, my total hash rate is a little over 180MH. If I don't run a game, or my clocks aren't "triggered" by something, my total hashrate is a little over 120MH. How can I force my clock speeds to go higher when I start guiminer? Much like playing a game does?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I switched to SDK 2.1, but left my drivers as they are. I also switched to phoenix miner within guiminer. Switching to SDK 2.1 resulted in a net increase of ~5MH, and then the switch to phoenix resulted in another increase of ~3MH (1.5 per GPU).

Now, I really don't want to go back to 10.6 since I use this machine for everything. However, in CCC, I noticed that both of my video card clocks are at around ~500 MHz even with guiminer running. Is there a way to have guiminer "trigger" an increase in clocks, much like playing a game would?

EDIT: tried some phoenix flags, but they did not work. How do I get the "phatk2" kernel to work with phoenix (within guiminer)? That is something I did not try yet

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I'm on W7 x64, running Catalyst 11.8.

I tried the flags suggested in the readme for guiminer and those reduced performance, so I've been running without them.

The core clock speed in GPU-Z for both GPUs is the same as what is listed in the wiki.

I am not running cgminer. What is intensity, where can I find the setting and what should it be?

I have a Radeon 4870x2, and am using guiminer. I get about 50MH/s per GPU. I have 2 workers setup, one for each GPU, and am doing pool mining. When monitoring the two miners, I noticed they are usually just above 50MH/s. According to what I've read, they should be about 90MH/s.

Can anyone tell me how to get up to 90MH/s per GPU?
6  Other / Beginners & Help / problem communicating with bitcoin RPC, solo 4870x2 + Guiminer + Bitcoin 0.3.21 on: August 29, 2011, 05:44:32 PM
I need some help getting bitcoin to work. I am using Guiminer and Bitcoin 0.3.21 with a Radeon 4870x2.
Basically, I always get the RPC error ('problem communicating with bitcoin RPC') after 30-35 minutes of solo mining.

I start Guiminer, create 2 workers (one for each GPU), and start mining. After 30-35 minutes, I get the RPC error (I see it in the console of Guiminer). I have tried Bitcoin 0.3.24, but switched to 0.3.21 after searching and seeing someone recommend that for solo mining in reply to a poster getting the same error as I was. I have also made sure my config file allows all IPs, and I've basically "allowed" all for Bitcoin and Guiminer in my firewall. Just to be sure, I tried running them with my firewall off, and I still get the RPC error.

So, to summarize, I am getting the following error: 'problem communicating with bitcoin RPC'
I have tried the following:
-switching to Bitcoin 0.3.21
-enabling all IPs in config file
-allowing all in my firewall
-shutting down my firewall

I am running Bitcoin and Guiminer on the same machine, Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with a Radeon 4870x2. I'd appreciate any help with this, I don't know what else to try.

PS-I have the latest version of Catalyst drivers installed and OpenCL. I tried following a few different tutorials for setting up solo mining, but they didn't solve my RPC problem.
