GUI mining - updated Dec 3 with 7970 bugfix, also supports Stratum!

[dishwara]

U have to put it in Extra flag.

Well, the results are:

Nothing in extra flags: around 82mhash/s
-v -w182: around 76mhash/s

I tried too, -v, -v -w64, -w64.

Max is with NOTHING

please read the my above post. i said -w128 , not -w182.
also u can add -f10 or -f15 or -f3 or -f1.
-f1 will make everything slow & give desktop lag.
But will increase 2-3 Mhash/s

Sorry, my bad, is -w128
The only thing that increasing my mining is -f1, but only in 2M/s, so  i think im gonna minig default.

Anyways, thanks

Hey everyone, a new version of the GUI is available:

    poclbm-gui-20110313.7z

Changes since the previous version:

- Updated to latest poclbm code supporting long polling.
- Builtin support for several popular pools; currently slush, deepbit, BitPenny, and bitcoinpool. You can pick the pool name from a dropdown and it will automatically use the right host and port; it also provides a link to the pool website. List of servers is stored in servers.ini and is customizable.

- In summary panel, click on the miner name to go to that tab.

- Don't display stale shares in the status if there are no stale shares.

- The default miner, username, and password is configurable from an INI file (defaults.ini). This allows pool owners to create custom miner packages that include your login credentials already.

- Support for custom interfaces for each pool. Currently for BitPenny there is no registration required and so the Username/Password field becomes a single field for the receiving address. In the future, look for more custom features on different pools.

- Fix bug where if you had a single miner open and opened the summary panel, the miner would disappear. Thanks to OneFixt for reporting this.

any word on why we are getting 100% cpu usage while GPU mining?

[kindle]

Hi yah I experience the same thing. About 25% load on cpu for every poclbm instance. I have tried installing ccc 10.11 and stream 2.1 as well as ccc 11.2 stream 2.1 and for both cases poclbm-gui reports that no opencl device has been detected. Only stream 2.2 manages to work. And from majority of the post 2.2 seems to load the cpu. Any ideas? 1st things 1st, does poclbm run with stream 2.1 ?

[Kiv]

Not sure, I haven't experienced this. It would be nothing to do with the GUI portion in any event, so it's not really my area

any word on why we are getting 100% cpu usage while GPU mining?

[datathe1st]

Please could someone give me some advice on how to mine while playing games?

I want my GPU usage to be at 100% at all times but with priority given to the video game.

PLEASE HELP!

I've tried setting -f 120 but that doesn't help.

Thank you.

[dishwara]

Try this -v -w128 -f1 for miner.

delete old minergui user settings...

[Kiv]

Sorry about that, I meant to keep compatibility with old settings but I guess I didn't totally succeed. You can find the settings file on Windows at:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\poclbm

If you like I could have a look at your file and see what broke, but just deleting it and then entering the info again should work.

sent ini file to PM.
Deleting old file makes new version work.
Thnks.

Hi I am running your latest build and I realised that the hash/s will jump up to 1Ghash/s or some amount that my rig isnt able to achieve. I was using our previous build and all was well. Btw I do overclock my GPU mildly, does the interface reflect the wrong hashes as a result of an improper overclock setting?

Cheers!

[Groc]

It says I need OpenCL or Ati stream SDK.

My IBM is a 8104 2eu http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-60650.html

What should I do?

Hi, I haven't seen this happen. I'll check around for anything that could have caused it. It's probably not from overclocking - you should get an error about verification failed if your GPU is sending out bad shares.

Try this -v -w128 -f1 for miner.

That increases the priority of mining.  I want to decrease its priority.

A combination which will eventually lead to problems.

Well I've been playing dragon age 2 for several hours now with both miners running on a crossfire 5870 setup.

I go from 0.65 Gh/s to 0.45 Gh/s while playing the game, but the frame rate is approx 20 fps.  If I disable one miner in crossfire mode my rate goes down to 0.33 Gh/s but still get 20 fps.

I tried disabling crossfire to have one gpu for the game and one for the miner, however, I want to be able to use the other gpu when I spend 10 minutes looking at a menu or doing something else non gpu intensive.

This game is not using a lot of my open

Thanks bro, I am afraid that the spike will affect overall performance. Though I am hoping it is because the software has been optimized that increases overall throughput =P but seriously 1Ghash/s spike on a 5970 + 5850 setup? Wow!!
