Vertminer 0.5.2 (kev) 270x Config

[jaybee3014]

Hey all.  Does anyone have "the perfect" working config for this miner software for 270x cards mining scrypt-n?  There seems to be a lot of how to guides out there but nothing seems to help and there is a lot of unorganized info out there (no config wiki like the Litecoin page).  I have tested and tested with different configs and I cant seem to get a very good hashrate or if I do, I start to see hardware errors.  And to boot,  I built a second rig (same exact drivers and cards) and it gives me a totally different hashrate than my older miner.  

Here is my config, any help would be appreciated  (This gives me around 212khs and some HW errors and WU ~90-95% -----my goal....higher hashrate with 0 HW and 90% or higher WU):

"gpu-engine" : "1045",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"intensity" : "18",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "12288",
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"expiry" : "30",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"device" : "0,1",
"scrypt-vert" : true,


EDIT:  I am also undervolted to 1106.

Yeah, your gpu-engine is really low. Should be able to push it above 1100 quite easily. Also, I don't really notice much difference at 1250 memclock versus 1500. Settings between 1250 and 1500 will reduce the hash rate. It's got something to do with the memory latency profiles at each frequency. This will also vary depending on whether you have Hynix or Elpida RAM.

EDIT: crossed out section only applies to normal scrypt or X11 mining.

I have a lower gpu OC because when I get it up around 1100 I start getting hard hangs on sgminer 4.1.0 with no errors to troubleshoot.  I lowered my gpu OC and that fixed the issues.

EDIT:  I meant vertminer 0.5.2

That's a shame. My MSI R9 270 non-x does 1140 no problems. Also, forget what I said about 1250 memclock for vert. It only applies to normal scrypt or X11 for me. Here are my settings with thekev miner. As far as I recall they are just the default settings listed in thekev OP. Good for 250 kh/s with a single GPU rig, but I usually back down the OC to improve the lifespan of the card. Clock settings of 1140 / 1500 are in the .bat file (also with -g 2). No longer mining vert, so the image below is only after 10 mins mining. Temperature is usually 68-69, unsure of the average WU.

I am only getting 187khs per card.....?

What about your .bat file
It should looks like that

@echo off
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCEN T 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS  1
COLOR 0A
timeout /t 4
vertminer.exe -g 2 --failover-only

Yeah, I was not using 2 gpu threads...things are looking better now...still had to underclock due to a hard hang but didnt lose hashrate.
