It became other peoples business when you asked other people to help you steal from your employer.
In my 20+ years of being involved in various online groups of some sort or another (first it was BBS's, then Listservs, then Usenet, and now online forums), I've never encountered a "community" as unhelpful and as vitriolic as this one. And that's saying a lot. I think my "situation" hit a little too close to home for some, and that's why they have reacted in the hateful, uncalled-for manner in which they did. Now let's get back on topic. |

A couple people reported this post to me. Honestly, I can't see anything wrong with it. Don't steal resources from your employers, the rest of us will be more than happy to turn you in.
At best, that post was off topic and abusive. My PC is on 24/7 anyway, and having it mine while I work isn't consuming any more resources or reducing my productivity. After hours, it's perhaps using a little more power than it would otherwise. I don't even know why I'm explaining or defending myself to you people, frankly it's none of your damn business. |

If you change driver/sdk combo and wish cgminer to use the new combination for its performance, you must delete any .bin files generated by cgminer first, or extract the cgminer archive afresh (for the same effect).
I did. |

I have a serious performance problem with my mining setup that I'm hoping someone here can help with.
First of all, it isn't a dedicated miner - it's my desktop PC, running Windows 7 64-bit. I have a pair of HD 6670's in it, one is driving two monitors, the other is dedicated to mining. Before I screwed it up today, I was getting decent performance - about 110-115 Mhash/sec from both cards (the card driving the monitors was set at dynamic, the other card at 9). I was running Catalyst driver version 12.4 and after doing some reading here decided to downgrade to 11.6, the recommended version for mining.
So I uninstalled 12.4, rebooted, installed 11.6, rebooted again, and suddenly my performance plummeted to about 30-40 Mhash/sec on the card driving the monitors and about 13-14 on the secondary card! I found out that I needed to disable ULPS, so I did but that didn't make any difference.
So then I decided to revert back to the driver version that I was running before that was getting decent performance (even though it isn't the recommended version). I went through the whole uninstall, reboot, reinstall, etc. -- making sure I removed every trace of Catalyst I could find (including all "ATI" and "AMD" keys in the registry) in between. I'm still getting shit mining performance. I'm at a loss on what to try next. Any ideas? I'll be happy to post my config and any more info you need.
On a side note, does anyone have the FirePro V4900, and does it work with cgminer? How's its performance? I'm probably getting a new PC in a few weeks, and that's what's on the specs sheet for it.

Thank you so much! They were in the opposite order I thought they were. I've been running with my display GPU doing all the mining <*facepalm*>!

Is it possible to copy a wallet.dat file from one computer to another and access the same wallet in two places? For instance, on a home PC and a work PC?

Is there a way to find out which GPU is which in Windows? I just assumed that the one in the first PCI-E slot was #0, the second slot #1, and so forth.
I think I already tried running it with intensity set to dynamic, and my desktop performance was just as bad, but I've tried so many things I'm not entirely sure. I'll give that a try.

I'm still experiencing the sluggish display problem described in my previous post. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm a newbie, so I can't post to the proper forum, I'm hoping someone will take pity on me and help with a cgminer problem. I'm running cgminer 2.3.1 (latest version) on Windows 7 with a pair of Radeon HD 6670 cards. One card has dual monitors attached to it, the other is just there for mining. At night when I'm not using the PC, I run with a configuration that runs two threads per GPU - no problems there. During the workday, I have cgminer configured to use only the headless GPU for mining - it's effectively disabled on the GPU that has my displays attached. However, it's still severely affecting my display performance - screen refreshes are painfully slow. I didn't have this problem before installing the second GPU, so I'm thinking it's likely something I have configured incorrectly. Here's my daytime cgminer config: {
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "*****",
"user" : "*****",
"pass" : "*****"
}
],
"device" : "1",
"gpu-threads" : "0,2",
"gpu-engine" : "800,850",
"gpu-memclock" : "667,800",
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-target" : "75",
"temp-overheat" : "80",
"temp-cutoff" : "85",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"kernel-path" : ".",
"intensity" : "d,7",
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"donation" : "0.1"
}
Shouldn't the line "device" : "1" effectively disable device 0 as far as mining is concerned? The cgminer output makes it look like it's disabled, but it doesn't perform like it's disabled. Here's the cgminer console screen header, clearly showing that GPU 0 (the display card) is "OFF": cgminer version 2.3.1 - Started: [2012-03-06 12:49:21]

I had better display performance before I added the second dedicated Radeon HD 6670, and was using one card (with just one mining thread) for both mining and driving my two monitors. Any help will be greatly appreciated! |

I have a need to be let loose on the forum - I've been mining for a few months now, started out with guiminer, switched to phoenix, and now using cgminer. I was mining with only a single GPU that also doubles as my desktop GPU, but as of today I've added a second GPU to my system and I'm having a configuration problem with cgminer. I posted my very detailed question in the Newbies forum ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67467.0), but I doubt I'll get any help there, so if possible can it at least be moved to the cgminer forum thread? |

I would post this in the cgminer specific thread, but I'm a newbie on this forum so I can only post here. I have a pair of HD 6670s, one used for Windows 7 desktop/mining, the other dedicated to mining. I'm trying to configure cgminer to use these optimally, and I'm having trouble figuring it out. Here is my current config: {
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "*****",
"user" : "*****",
"pass" : "*****"
}
],
"gpu-threads" : "1,4",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"gpu-engine" : "800,800",
"gpu-memclock" : "667,800",
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-target" : "75",
"temp-overheat" : "80",
"temp-cutoff" : "85",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"kernel-path" : ".",
"intensity" : "dynamic,7",
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"donation" : "0.1"
}
I'm only starting one thread on GPU0 (which my monitors are connected to), and 4 threads on GPU1. I have intensity set to dynamic on GPU0 and 7 on GPU1. For driver stability reasons, I'm not overclocking either GPU (I have the engine and memclock values set to the default values shown in AMD Catalyst Control Center). The problem I'm having is that on GPU1 (the miner-dedicated GPU), it appears to be actually starting only 2 threads, even though I'm telling it to start 4 (as you can see from the output below): cgminer version 2.3.1 - Started: [2012-03-05 11:50:57]

Or press any other key to continue
Why is that? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or should I only be running 2 threads? It may be worth noting that GPU0 is in a PCIe x16 slot and GPU1 is in a PCIe x4 slot (that's the best I can do with my current system). Is that a problem? |
