my XFX 7950 can't reach 500-550kh/s each, also some visual glitches when mining.

my XFX 7950 can't reach 500-550kh/s each, also some visual glitches when mining LTC

HI so i have 2 XFX HD7950, on Guiminer, CGminer i can't, just can't get even close to 500kh/s EACH GPU

what i'm doing wrong?
here's the .bat
color 0A
cgminer --scrypt -o notroll.in:6332 -u akipfer.i53330 -p 12345 -I 17 --shaders 1792  --intensity 15 --worksize 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 21712
pause

i keep the user/password, what can happens if some one mine with those?

also, when start mining, after feews seconds, i don't know, 20s maybe less, my desktop starts glitching, lots of visual artifacts, the ones like when doing Overclock and getting into a game, some like that i guess..

Any one knows wtf is happening?

afaik each 7950 Should do 500 to 550 KH/s with stock clocks, i'm right?

My settings for 7950 XFX are "--intensity 20 --worksize 256 -g2 --thread-concurrency 21712" and it gets ~600 khash depending on clocks.

You could also try to undeclock them slightly to see if it helps for artifacts.

[237]

You should have a clock ratio for GPU/MEM clock of at least 0.7, best
results with 0.57 (0.57 for example GPU 900MHz --> MEM 1,580 MHz).

Also if you are having problems with artifacts, i am sure you are using
the Catalyst 13.x Driver. Try for example 12.6 to get rid of artifacts while
mining. (worked for me at least)

Edit: Try 825 GPU and 1,450 MEM clocks at I 19. That should give you
almost exact 500KH/s

[cannonfodder]

Obviously every card is different, but my settings here give me 620kh/s on each card. Using 12.8 drivers and OC'd to 1095/1575, voltage dropped to 975.

--intensity 18 --thread-concurrency 24000 -w 128

thx for the help, but i don't want to OC, not now at least...

can u send me the 12.6 driver? on amd.com only 13.x drivers now

if i get at lease, 500 kh/s each gpu, i would be way more happy
EDIT -> i forgot to say, im have two but without crossfire, i don't have the crossfire cable right now, only sli

maybe is that?

[flound1129]

You can download the old drivers from AMD's site.

i didn't find, cau u give me url for that?
edit -> Found on guru3D.com
let's hope that works, let's hope this fix the two of my problems

[akipfer]

turns out...

that didn't work

im still so so sad ;(

starting to get tired of this too,

i try all, even get one of the GPU out of my motherboard(ASUS  8Z68-v PRO/GEN3)

here is my sys specs

i5 3330
motherboard ASUS  8Z68-v PRO/GEN3 (sli/crossfire ready)
1000w PSU from OCZ ZX Series 80+ Stamp certified
8Gigs DDR3 Dual Channel

Plus DvD Writer. who cares? haha.

so still can't pass 370-400mh/s ltc mining EACH CARD(only one plugged in right now, as said before)
is my sys spec a piece of shit for mining? i may use for gaming too, but mostly for mining(if i can get it to with 100% hash/s

500Mh/s or Kh/s ? Maybe you are using guiminer without scrypt...

500Mh/s or Kh/s ? Maybe you are using guiminer without scrypt...

i`m connected to notroll.in(only ltc), it says mh/s but should be kh/s i think(Guiminer bug i guess)
if not, how to use --script with Guiminer?

[Eb0la]

don't mine from notroll... payouts don't work

[Gazylion]

You are using bad mining software, guiminer is for SHA-256 not scrypt, download this one for litecoin mining And change pool to for example ltcmine.ru

I have 2 XFX 7950's not in crossfire.  The newer one I just installed is voltage locked but I still am able to get over 500kh/s with intensity 18.  The lower intensity allows me to not have any slowdown while working on the PC.  I don't use Trixx, afterburner or anything besides the latest AMD beta drivers in Windows 8.

Try to install latest stable version of drivers, maybe this will help.

[akipfer]

still the same, is my pc bad? i just spend almost 5K BRL(maybe 2k USD or plus)

[Gazylion]

Maybe something is wrong with GPUs, I have had once XFX gpu and it wasnt the best... Since then I try to avoid them.

[Vilepickle]

I haven't had high hashes with XFX cards hashing myself.  They're not very good for it.

The Catalyst 13.1 drivers have artifacting issues, I upgraded to the Beta 13.3 drivers and all artifacting went away.

Good to know, thanks. Will definatly try them out.

I get artifacting using 13.1 and 13.3 on both my 7950's, at first I thought it might be the cards.

Having tried earlier drivers yet
