I found I can only use the --thread-concurrency flag at the end of all of the other args/flags now or else cgminer crashes.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

For windows users who can't set high thread concurrencies with the latest cgminer, use this in your batch file first before starting cgminer: setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 Saw this in the other thread, tried, works on my 7950. Previous high with Cgminer was 550kh/s on 2.11.3 (8192 concurrency, 1k/1750 @ 13agg) Now can hit 620kh/s (same as reaper) with this, (16384 concurrency, 1k/1750 @ 19agg) No Hw errors. Thanks! Great find! Can you please tell us your other command line settings too? |

hi I'm interesting too in the right setting for 7950!
Actually i have 530 with reaper, and the same whit cgminer... I hope to increase it!!

Added to my guiminer setting the env var locally instead of globally when running cgminer with high thread concurrencies |

Nice work. But some problem/question.. I have 2x7970 I use CGminer, not reapter and i need use half(desktop use) (like -I15) GPU [0-0 Tahiti] but GPU [0-1 Tahiti] going to half GPU usage if I set -I15 first(0-0) GPU. Speed is halfing GPU 0-0 but usage 0-0 is 97-99% . Everything what i try, only gpu 0-1 usage going down.. Some fix or ideas?  Sorry 4 bad english: |

Where are you guys using this command? I do not use a bat file, I just start cgminer with my conf file.... cgminer -c cgminer.conf I haven't had any luck with 11.3 and I'm sure this would fix it. Though I'm hesitant to try to "fix" anything considering my speeds are already 650 to 700 kh/s depending on the card. Thanks in advance! |

Use it in windows command console (cmd.exe) or just use my guiminer (which doesn't permanently alter your registry/environmental variables) |

Sorry 4 bad english:Make sure you have speed step/cool and quiet disabled in the bios to prevent throttling of the CPU at low usage, sometimes this can screw up mining |

Hashing rate in notroll more than halved, everybody has gone back to BTC with the drop in profitability :S
|
Litecoin is the way forward. Dont go near it yet though, i want it all for me  |

Hi. Im a mining noob. How many LTC can I expect to get in 24h with a 7970?

hi no chance my ati 7950 mine at 560 kh/s whit reaper and cgminer whit gpu@950 and memory to default!
i have tried the special setting but it doesn't change nothing!
any suggestions or please post your setting file and clock!

Don't forget about undervolting your GPUs, I finally got around to it with my 7970 x2 .
Running 1000/1660 , 8192, 2 gpu threads for 680 kh/s. (any higher concurrency with the new cgminer is causing issues for me, probably because that system only has 2gb system ram).
Undervolted to 1.025 dropped 150 watts at full load (kill-a-watt from outlet).
The new cgminer works great in my other system though with a 7850, getting 380kh/s with concurrency 12000, 1100/1300. Whereas the old cgminer with 8192 only got me 330kh/s at the same clocks and power usage.
I think the 7850s are the best bang for the buck now, I paid $150 for the card, came with 2 games that I sold for $50, so total investment $100 for 380kh/s, at 100 watts, payback is under 60 days.

How are you undervolting at those clocks? |

Just using trixx, slowly lowering core voltage until the system becomes unstable. I found 1.025 to work the best with my 7970s. https://i.imgur.com/VNgaEQg.png |

Not going through all the previous pages, sorry if this info has already been posted:
cgminer 2.11.3 has rendered reaper mostly pointless for me as both programs are yielding nearly identical results.
Now that the buffer limit has been removed from cgminer, it seems as though the reaper's days may be limited.
Spoke too soon...Many errors with 13.3 beta2 on vliw 5 and 4 when there shouldn't really be any.
Oddly, It took a little while to show up. I switched back to reaper for now.

Is it normal that my computer gets really slow during mining?
I'm using reaper for a HD7850, about 600 300 kH/s.
And I've disabled CPU mining.

Yes it's normal, you're taxing your video processing capability and using your RAM. |

Yes it's normal, you're taxing your video processing capability and using your RAM. My RAM usage is only at 35%, I have 8 GB. I was hoping I could mine and work at the same time...  |
