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

*Sigh*  It's always after you type something up and serialize your thoughts that you think of *one more* thing to try.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Catalyst and everything is peachy.

How true that is...

Glad you got it working

For future reference, all guiminer application state is stored in .ini files either in the miner directory or in %APPDATA%\Roaming\poclbm. I don't like the registry so I didn't use any registry keys

I like that..keeping it old school unix style (ie with separate conf files)

am i the only one with this problem or is retrieving balance for the deepbit pool broken or blocked or something?  just kicks a 403 forbidden error when i try it, but mining is working fine.

nevermind, seems my API token changed somehow.

where in the GUI do you enter the API token?  i couldn't find anything and needed to go edit the config file.

I just tried refreshing my balance and it worked perfectly.

[Kiv]

I overlooked that use case - it will prompt for a token if you haven't entered one, but if your token changed
somehow, it won't know to prompt again. I should probably change it either so it prompts again whenever you get a 403, or have a dialog where you can view all your tokens.

I have a problem with GUI miner on one of my dedicated rigs
I have four identical cards running, all with identical settings

GPU1 and GPU2 are having connection problems intermittently while GPU3 and 4 are solid.

What would cause this?

[Kiv]

I haven't heard of this issue before. There's no particular reason for any GPU to behave differently than the others. A bit more detail might help me or other posters figure it out.

What cards are you running? What pool and what settings? Are you using OpenCL or CUDA?

I'm having some issues. I was mining with a 560 Ti using the CUDA miner. I added a ATI 5750 and it wouldn't show. I can't get the miner to show the 5750. Any ideas?

[Kiv]

My guess is that the ATI card doesn't support CUDA and you don't have OpenCL installed. You'll probably have to install OpenCL to mine on an ATI card.

The new version increased my hashrate by 20Mhash/sec

I have the newest Open CL installed. I tried a earlier version and I get an error message that says "The display driver installed on this system does not have OpenCL support for AMD GPUs" I have the AMD driver installed.

Now my 560 Ti isn't showing.  

Ok if I unplug my GTX 560 Ti and put my display on the 5750, the 5750 appears. I can't get both to appear though.

[Nonlin]

I'm having the same issue.

I'm reciving "Connection Problems" error as well.

The thing is it will work on launch then stop and give the error than maybe pick pick up again in 20sec and work for lie 5 sec and the give the error again.

Its like on and off.

It was working great since I got it till today. No clue what is going on.

INFO:

1 GPU (5870) with SDK 2.1

Just got the latest version of the GUI and same stuff is happaning although it went from 360 Mhashes/sec to 402!

This problem is driving me crazy! PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS!

[watwugy]

I'm having some issue... I tried to update my miner, so I deleted my old one, folder and everything included, downloaded the new one, but now when I try to run the application it gives me this:

---------------------------
Errors occurred
---------------------------
See the logfile 'C:\Users\xxxxxxxxx\Downloads\BTC\guiminer\guiminer.exe.log' for details
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Then the log file has this to say:

Hello every1.


I'm totaly new to this . So I'm mining with my "older" rig that has a AMD 4890 and I'm getting around 95 mhash/s with no flag. On the fifth side of this topic some1 said we should use -v -w128 on a 4890 but that decreases to 87Mhash/s. So do you folks have a better idea?

[MonkeyHead]

OC my card now getting around 104 with no flag.

[allinvain]

Watch your temps..the 4890 run hot like toasters. In fact they'd make a good hot plate to cook your breakfast on

Umm, but have you tried -w 64?

I'm not sure what the optimal work size unit is for the 4890, but you can try -w 64 or -w 128 or -w 256 and see which works best. Or you can try to ask that question in this thread:

Nah it ain't going over 78°C got 2×200mm fans + 2×120mm fan.

Tried all of this, but they decrease from 8-10 Mhash

Ty for the link.

[allinvain]

Well, over 100 Mhash for a 4890 is pretty damn good performance if you ask me. So I think in the end you just may have to settle for what you got.
