Here's the config file I'm using:
{ "pools" : [ {
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333", "user" : "xxxxxx", "pass" : "xxxxxx" } ] , "intensity" : "14", "vectors" : "1", "worksize" : "256", "kernel" : "scrypt", "auto-fan" : true, "auto-gpu" : true, "temp-cutoff" : "85", "thread-concurrency" : "8192", "intensity" : "13", "lookup-gap" : "2", "temp-overheat" : "75", "temp-target" : "63", "expiry" : "30", "gpu-dyninterval" : "7", "log" : "5", "queue" : "1", "retry-pause" : "5", "scan-time" : "30", "scrypt" : true, "temp-hysteresis" : "3", "shares" : "0" }
Any idea what is wrong?

nothing. its a crapy miner . you can try higher intensity, also sometimes concurrency 8000 is much faster than 8192. dont use 12.10 drivers!

I've tried GUIMiner-scrypt and I get less kh/s. And I believe I'm on beta driver 13.3. EDIT: Still having problems I managed to get my speed up to 290-295 kh/s if I turn the intensity up to 17 or so. But I've heard people getting 350 kh/s at intensity 13 with my card.

Just worked through this exact same issue, but with reaper. What got me mining at ~350 KH/s was changing the gpu_thread_concurrency to 15000. More or less copied settings for the 7870, and it worked. There is no where I could find that had the 7860 settings filled in in a guide. You can probably get more KH/s by working with the concurrency. Solution was found in tacotime's post at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.msg1256502#msg1256502.

I ment the GPU not the cgminer.nice that you have foud a solution.

I don't use cgminer, but reaper. But, I get 360kh/s, so that hashrate is pretty low. My clock speeds: 1150 core, 6000 mem (just when I am not using my pc for a few hours), and 1250-1300 core, 6000 mem (when I just want to mine). I can post my Reaper settings, maybe U use the wrong concurrency: worksize 256 vectors 1 aggression 19 threads_per_gpu 1 sharethreads 32 lookup_gap 2 gpu_thread_concurrency 15360 The aggression won't go 20, it'll BSOD. I don't know if your card will reacht such clocks, I am very lucky to get such speeds, and ofcourse your temps, I have a Asus HD7850 with the DCII cooler, fan @50-55% is 50 Degrees celcius (18 degrees room temperature) at those clocks. What you can do to get higher clocks, is let it mine for 5 minutes at stock, then slowly increise your clock with 10 mhz and the same with mem, but mem BSOD's above 1500, period.

Anyway, use Reaper, much better and less error, I promise (at least if you configure it the right way ofc.) And you can copy paste the setting I gave you, you only have to edit the pool (don't use http:// before the pool addres). Thats it.

Yes I did, sorry, I got reaper and followed the instructions, but when I open it the window opens for a split second then closes, any idea?

Open cgminer using a .bat or a new console, high thread concurrencies will now work. LINUX: Open terminal and type Code: export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 Now high thread concurrencies should work in cgminer. As meebs points out, in order to go above 8192 thread concurrency with cgminer, you have to set the GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT. If you use setx in Windows, you only have to do it once, because it writes the setting to the registry. Here are the cgminer settings I use: 350kh/s, no overvolting, desktop usable: --scrypt --gpu-fan 0-100 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 900 --intensity 12 --thread-concurrency 13632 --gpu-threads 2 365kh/s, overvolted, desktop usable: --scrypt --gpu-vddc 1.225 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1000 --intensity 12 --thread-concurrency 13632 --gpu-threads 2 390kh/s, overvolted, desktop unusable: --scrypt --gpu-vddc 1.225 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1000 --intensity 19 --thread-concurrency 27164

Yeah I tried Guiminer today, WOW, on the same clock speeds (1150 core, 1500 mem) and NO overvolting I get 395!!! Kh/s @200 watt total system power, thats what I call making a profit... Also, watch your temps, the Asus card I have doesn't reach over 51 degrees @50% fan, its awesome. Good luck... (Also, if you want to try guiminer, select the 7850 high preset and change intensity to 18-19, then your done with the card settings!)

Thanks, it now runs at 15000 thread conc, but hash speeds haven't really changed Still getting about 305-310 kh/s on intensity 18.
