My hash rate dropped from 84 to 61 without making any changes to the system (upon a simple shut down and power on). Great.
I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions?
When I first start my miner, it usually shows a higher than accurate rate. Over what timeframe did you see this drop? What are you mining on that gives you 84 MH/s? nvidia? What are your system's temps? |

What are your system's temps? The drop was after a restart (the whole previous day it was 84Mhash). It's a Radeon HD 4830, mining at 72C. |

There have been lots of reports of the recent drivers dropping hash rates. A reboot would cause newly installed drivers to load. |

Nope, I'm already at 11.12 (didn't see a performance drop that everyone else reports - interesting). On that note, what are the suggested drivers for mining in Windows? 11.6? |

Just has to pursued Norton Antivirus that v2.1.0 isn't a Trojan :/
Same here with AVG and cgminer 2.0.6... Looks like the antivirus guys drank too much on Xmas. The drop was after a restart (the whole previous day it was 84Mhash). It's a Radeon HD 4830, mining at 72C. Just had the same issue after restarting my miner: one of the GPU would barely mine, the other would mine around 250 MHs vs the usual 380. Turned out the auto-intensity was screwing up, forcing it manually to 8 fixed the drop (and even increased hashrate above what I was used to). PC feels a bit laggy though now  Going to try 2.1.0... |

Installed 11.6 and SDK 2.4, hash back up to ~82, which is OK. We'll see how that goes in the future. Thanks  |

My guess is that you installed 11.12 but maybe didn't reboot thus older drivers were still loaded. You reboot. 11.12 and its lower performance loads and bingo. Or maybe the driver had nothing to do with it and the sdk was updated after reboot (2.4 or 2.5 to 2.6). God I wish AMD could write some halfway decent drivers. It is a complete lottery on each driver update. |

Ive posted this a few times, but never got any response. It happened again. On both my rigs:  Left one is running on linuxcoin, right one is local on windows. Hashrate basically drops to zero as cgminer keeps switching pools and not being able to connect to either. My network and internet connection is fine. Ive (again) tried restarting the routers, just in case but it changed nothing. Both miners where still in limbo after that My public IP address has not changed. The problem is not the pools, both were up. The problem was solved for each machine by restarting cgminer. I dont see anything common between the machines that could explain this. Anyone have a clue? Pretty please? |

When it happens again, go into the display menu and enable Verbose mode, Rpc debugging and Debug mode and see what is output. |

Wow, I missed a release - 2.0.8 was running for... a while; at least 10 days solid. I can't imagine how cgminer could be improved upon much further, so I was glad to see the latest update from the future! "Version 2.1.0 - December 27, 2012" So far so good (still Ubuntu 11.04 with Cat/SDK 11.6/2.4 on 6950s). Latest git build and none of the problems anyone else has been having. |

Heh, cgminer, the miner from the future.
For those using the donation option, note that your hashes are now directed back to ozcoin who have finally completed their long overdue migration to DGM payout.

Good as I was seeing a lot of rejects on the donation shares when you had it pointed at ARS and 24+ hours without any problems on the latest I installed yesterday so looks like you tracked it down whatever it was with that last release, I have yet to see a repeat of the behaviour. Edit: Just to be sure on this I have to re-compile from git to get the new pool enabled for you right? No, just restart, thanks! |

How do you know which GPU cgminer is referring to in terms of which pci slot it is in?
is GPU 0 typically in slot 1 and then goes on from there?

Whatever order the driver returns... most motherboards it should go in order of ascending slot numbers. |

./facepalm
I need help.
alright so i get as far as
it telling me that i cannot connect to the pool....
I havent the Slightest idea how to configure ANYTHING for this miner.
Could someone.. Like.. Hand me a command line that i can add onto cgminer.exe
I want to run Two 6870's deticated.. I just have no idea the syntax or format, I've read the readme and the example.conf, And im just an example.confused user!

As per the README file as it says: cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu where username and password are of course your worker username and password at the pool and http://pool:port are whatever the pools is e.g. http://pool.abcpool.co:8332If you want to actually use the computer at the same time, then use a much lower number for -I (e.g. -I 5) or leave it out altogether (no -I 9) |

Intensity should be "-I 9,9", because otherwise the second would be on dynamic. Or at least as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong).Edit: corrected by kano. And the --auto-fan and --auto-gpu are completely optional. I'd say keep those out and overclock manually (but that's just my opinion). |
