AOCLBF (was Phoenix Rising): Phoenix/POCLBM GUI With Built-In Overclock Tool

[Lelouch]

Which extra flags option are supported? Can you list them please?. Thanks!

Moving the GUI box seems to be unusually difficult if using the Windows 7 Basic Theme. There's only a tiny point on the box that actually allows you to drag it and the rest clicks through.

Yeah - that's a bit of a pain in the ass. My W7 boxes change to basic when the VNC server receives a connection. OSD can be dragged if you take the time to make sure the pointer is exactly on text of the OSD.

Unrelated -- Switched to BTCGuild today

It's one of the "features" of the Basic theme, don't think I can fix that .
What I can do is set an option to be able to save the places of the OSDs.

Another issue I found is the latest version (1.41) for some reason dropped the ability to set the color of the GUI text to none. Please add this back in.

It wasn't intended to allow anything other than those colors listed.

Can you add some way to disable the GUI then if you won't add a function to set colors to none?

I'm trying to run it and I can't get the OSD appers on the screen...

when I click run, the dos window popups and closes and nothing more happens...

That sometimes is fixed by restarting. It can be caused by a bad overclock or invalid WORKSIZE as well.

Is it your first time running a client or does the card work with other miners?

[Lelouch]

It happens to me too. As I have set the same option and extra flags from the 1.31 which works great. With 1.41 the OSD just doesn't appear. Any solution?

Mind posting a screenshot of the GUI, with ID/password blanked out, and post what Extra Flags you are using?

Extra flags used: BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=128

I've never used phoenix but I downloaded and extracted it. Then I extracted this GUI into the same folder. I have an ID, username, password. I put in the ID and password along with server and port. I also found that my GPU is 0 and put that in accordingly.

Pretty much all that happens is I press run, a window opens very quickly and then goes away. GPU never goes past 0-1%

edit: looks like it's running now. I've got no real way of knowing what rate it's going at though, unfortunately.

And I now see where it shows the mh/s too. Sweet.

Now I just have to look for some information on the 4870 to get higher mh/s out of it. Right now I'm at about 70-75

HD5xxx+: checked means use BFI_INT, uncheck if your hardware doesn't support it (commonly, HD5k and HD6k series are supported).

You should also check pr.log and make sure that it's exactly what you want.

I had the same problem, never quite found out what the problem was.
Care to share how did you solve it?

Thx.

I'm also getting the lower hashrates. Could it be related to the new heat monitoring? Perhaps it's overriding overclocks?

[snoopytime]

I got this running today, very nice! I have 2x 5830s, im running the HD58xxx+, Fastloop, phatk.
ones at agress 11, the other at 12.  Flags = VEVECTORS WORKSIZE=128

My question is, does the bitcoin client need to be running too for this (or any GPU miner) to work?

Also, i read you need the ATi 2.4 SDK to mine (with windows anyway) . . I got it and installed it but nothing extra happened . . like my Mhash is the same. Do you have to invoke it or tune it or some wakky shit?

Thxxx!

Snooop

[Lelouch]

EDITED: Working good now! Thanks!
PD: I forgot to add the kernel module. Silly me and sorry!

[cowboyhank]

No I have OC'd 5870 + 5830s, and the hashrate it changes to is non OC'd.

@ lvlrdka22

Seems, after i confirmed that temp control works, u went to take rest.....
I badly need tabbed interface, soon i will be running with 8 cards, if windows supports.

Also, how to make it work with 2 platforms?
I have both Nvidia & AMD card in my system.
Nvidia card is 9400GT which can't mine, it takes care of all graphic things, so 6870 mines freely with out crash.
But it all happening in cmd prompt only.

When i try to run PR, it can't able to mine.
starts, goes to back up server, again comes to main server & same thing repeating.
Seems it cant able to find device. Also, your device finder shows only one device & that too seems nvidia card not amd.

PR doesn't support 2 platforms?

[brunoshady]

try high values at idle time...


was this in my case

I'm having the same problem. Did you use a 5970 or 6990?

No I have OC'd 5870 + 5830s, and the hashrate it changes to is non OC'd.

See if the launching parameters logged in pr.log is exactly what you want to use.

As long as phoenix supports 2 platforms, it should. Just make sure you're using the correct arguments.
Forgot to say, as a temporary solution, make two folders and run one instance in each.

Oh, and 1.42.

[bitjet]

running into a problem on one of my machines. when mining on more than one gpu i get really erratic gpu usage jumping around from 70% to 99%. Only with PR, I run the regular phoenix miner with no problems.

[Vwlopez3]

Great software really quite impressive that you created this in such a short time span. There aren't many features that i can think of that would make this any better. Tried ubuntu but the lack of overclocking software mixed with frontend gui made windows the fall back. Will donate once my miner start producing again.

[karuso]

I am mining at deepbit. What do i have to imput @server then? pit.deepbit.net?

And i want to use this settings. VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=12 -k phatk WORKSIZE=256

So i have to uncheck fastloop, check hd5xxx, check phatk, write 12@agression and write "VECTORS WORKSIZE=256" at the extra flags?
