I keep getting BFI failed three times during "run" press in bitminter, any idea? have 3x5870 (stock settings) and installed catalyst 13.3 beta (worked the best for me)
Also even though it says a Mhash rate of 1100 there isnt registered anything in my stats/bitminter worker info...

Probably something is wrong with your OpenCL drivers. I guess you are seeing all bombs/miscalculations. Maybe the client can still work if you switch off BFI_INT but there will be a performance hit. You can click the little green arrows to expand the view of the device then click the wrench to get to the (BFI_INT) settings.

Best is of course to fix the drivers. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers might do it. Since AMD uninstall has never actually worked you may need to manually clean out the drivers. These instructions have been reported to work for that: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=359883

reinstalled catalyst drivers. then bitminter
would start at all error.log stated memory issue

runned memtest86 and sure enough the memory in the computer
was full of errors...(brand new kingston crap memory!)

changed out the memory, reformated windows (installed on bad memory is not good:),
installed catalyst 13.1, java7 rme and bitminter.

it works:)

BitMinter client v1.3.2beta is ready for testing.

Quick update that I think some AMD miners will like.

New since 1.3.1:
  • Fixed to work on recent AMD Catalyst driver versions like 13.3 beta
  • Detect CPU name on Mac OS X instead of calling it "unknown cpu"
  • Recognize more GPUs

Please check it out:


I want to push this out quickly. Please help test and let me know if it runs ok on both new and old catalyst versions.

Been running the beta on one of my computers.
Hackintosh OSX10.8.2
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H with intel i3
running dual 5870 (not crossfire since osx doesnt support it)

Been running for about 3 hours no, no hickup. have 600Mhash from those two cards stock (normal in osx, get 700 in win but guess its driver optimalisation related)

That was a problem yesterday with the server being overloaded. After switching things around a bit today this should no longer be a problem.

BitMinter client v1.3.2 is out.

New since 1.3.1:

  • Fixed to work on recent AMD Catalyst driver versions like 13.3 beta. Even works on some computers where other miners crash.
  • Detect CPU name on Mac OS X instead of calling it "unknown cpu"
  • Recognize more GPUs

Try it out:


If you have issues with 1.3.2 then you can still get the previous release (1.3.1) at http://bitminter.com/client/1.3.1/bitminter.jnlp

I've got it working with catalyst 12.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 but the driver breaks quite a few things in Ubuntu.
Catalyst 13.3 beta 3 works great with Ubuntu 13.04 beta!!!! But when I open the miner it claims there is not GPU present at all! :/
Any ideas?

EDIT: My setup is a 7750 at 880mhz pulling 133.3mh/s with the 12.8 on 12.04.2.

I don't know why that would happen.

Have you tried an older non-beta Catalyst on Ubuntu 13.04 beta? Or the new beta Catalyst on an older non-beta Ubuntu? That could help narrow down what the problem is.

13.3 beta 3 is the first to support ubuntu 13.04 (the 3.7x kernal/newest xorg) and 13.3 beta 3 doesn't run on 12.04.2.... i guess i could give 12.10 a shot if i have  time later.

EDIT: I've found that repeated reboots/relunches of bitminter can get the gpu to be detected Cheesy
But it seams to be a 1 in 5 shoot.... well can't complain works for now.

Hats off to Dr_Haribo!!  I had a 5770 in my Mac 2,1 going steady at 150Mh/s (I know about 2 yrs too late) I just recently added another 5770 w an external PSU (not really needed but have a 5970 on the way) I'm using 10.7.4 and w x2 5770 only getting 160-170 Mh/s.  I've been changing things up a bit to see if its my hardware configuration-- 5770 w stock PSU in slot 1 and 2nd 5770 in slot 4 ext. PSU for some breathing room.  I'm going to try beta version again, last week it wasn't too stable, but I was hoping in theory to get like 250-300 Mh/s so I'm kinda bummed.  I guess w osX there isn't much in the way of GPU manipulation w catalyst (tried AMD's site for downloads) my next step is to boot camp Linux or Win7 but really don't want to, and to switch to pci slots 1 and 3.  Now the MacPro 2,1 is pci-e 1.0 :-/ but everything I had read w Mac n 5770 had it at 150 Mh/s.  any suggestions w this would be appreciated.  I really do enjoy using BitMinter and will probably stick w it if/when my BFL ASIC arrives (maybe by June/July). Cheers and thanks!!

Intermittent breakage, my favorite problem. Sad I hope it works better when this OS and driver are out of beta.

Thanks, nice to hear you like the pool. Smiley

When you get 160-170 Mhps from both 5770s, are they both running at the same hashrate? Or is one running much faster than the other?

with my hackintosh (2x 5870) and osx 10.8.2 i got 2x300Mhash/s (total 600Mhash/s)
If i put those same cards in a win pc i got 350Mhash/s (700 total)
Both systems showed 99,9% stable those numbers...

So getting 150Mh/s pr card in osx seems plausible given the bitcoin hardware list (ranging from 150-240 based on core/clock speed and so on)

Bitminter Throttles at 350MH/s on my 5850 cypress, how do I exceed this limit?

It's not throttling. BitMinter client always pushes the GPU as hard as it can. I always planned to add a feature for running it at X percent of capacity, but had no time, so it always runs full speed.

You can try overclocking to get a higher hashrate, it may not be worth the extra electricity though.


Please do add a less that 100% usage feature... I'm currently running two different cards (one is Nvidia), and I definitely don't want the Nvidia causing the 7970 to have to be underclocked to stay within a desired heat range for 24/7 usage.

Thank you for all the efforts for this client, it is otherwise great!

@DrHaribo,
Have you received a BFL ASIC yet for development?

Yes. It's working nicely.

New beta version of BitMinter client is up. Only new thing is BFL ASIC support.

I just joined bitminter and I am getting sporadic spikes in hash according to the pool.

In rig 1 (7950) the pool reports 300mhash to 550 mhash.
In rig 2 (6670 & 7870xt) I am getting CRAZY hashing power. 175mhash & 600mhash respectively. But that number also goes up and down according to the pool.

Bitminter client has rig 1 steady around 525ish and rig 2 at 750ish
My total hash according to the pool ranges from 700 – 1200. Is this normal?
All of this variance makes me a little uneasy. I am getting another two 7950, but im not sure if I want to go back to slush or stay here.

Catalyst 13.4 & Newest bitminter.

The web server is just making an estimate of your hashrate based on how often you send in proofs of work. The accurate hashrate is the one displayed on your own computer.

I'll look into averaging out the hashrate displayed on the server over more time, to reduce the spikes.
