The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

[MiXXiM]

I tried to compile vertminer 0.5.3 in ubuntu but I get this error:

Code:

api.c:1418:7: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security]
       );

Any ideas?

Have one R9 280x GV-R928XOC-3GD with stock 1100/1500. According Vertcoin-CGMinerAleks_NR3 have about 400kh/s (78C, HW=0) with this batch:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt --gpu-engine 1160 --gpu-memclock 1850 --thread-concurrency 8191 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 -E 30 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-fan 100 -o stratum+tcp://pickaxe.pool.pm:3305 -u * -p *

Testing this config now and it looks stable (when trying --thread-concurrency 8193 OS crashes after 5min).
1020/1800 yields about 390.
Note that monitor (or radmin/vnc video driver) can decrease your kh/s.
ASrock 970 extr4, sempron 145, 4gb ram, 13.12 catalyst, 12.7 sdk, win7x64, hunix memory in my sweety card (elpida memory is likely impossible to overclock).

[bullus]

Code:

timeout /t 30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
C:\Users\b\Downloads\Vertcoin-CGMinerAleksNR3\cgminer.exe --scrypt --thread-concurrency 19712,5120 -I 19,18 -g 1 -w 256

7950 ~272kh/s
5850 ~190kh/s

[pearstar20]

 --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtc.poolz.net:3333 -u xxx -p xxxxx -I 13 -g 2 --gpu-engine 1080 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-memclock 1500 --thread-concurrency 2048 --gpu-fan 45

Using 3gpu, 4gb ram. This setting gives me only HW errors.

When i set concurrency to 8192 then only 2 gpu works third one is off... How can i get third one to work ?

Here're my 4x ASUS 280X (top version):

 GPU  1:  64.0C 2962RPM | 362.4K/364.9Kh/s | A:461 R: 0 HW:0 WU: 246.5/m I:13
 GPU  2:  73.0C 3057RPM | 365.2K/365.0Kh/s | A:601 R:15 HW:0 WU: 300.4/m I:13
 GPU  3:  64.0C 3085RPM | 365.3K/365.2Kh/s | A:895 R:53 HW:0 WU: 434.8/m I:13
 GPU  4:  63.0C 2998RPM | 365.2K/363.9Kh/s | A:454 R:34 HW:0 WU: 250.9/m I:13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

280.sh file:

export DISPLAY=:0

./vertminer -o -u -p -d 1,2,3,4 -I 13 --worksize 256 --gpu-threads 2 --thread-concurrency 8191 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-mem

So far works great;

Tried ur settings, im running 2x asus 280x dc2t and 1x msi 280x gaming. Even with your cmd my 3 doesnt work toghter.. and when i restart the miner, you never know which two cards work, it picks random one card and shuts it off

Try running vertminer 3 times with -d 0, -d 1 and -d 2 for each card, that way you will diagnoze which fails

I have the following settings on my 2xGigabyte 7950s setup (I got a couple of cards n the shop):
./vertminer -o startum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u -p x -I 13  --thread-concurrency 14777   --gpu-engine 1050  --gpu-memclock 1500

these are the best settings I can get without getting HW errors and all I get is a whopping 327 mhs  !!!!

Apparently everyone has r9 280x now, so I have been having a lot of trouble trying to get better settings around here  

Would be awesome if more people published their configs for 7950s


Cheers!

That's not bad. Remember hashrate is half of normal scrypt. Going to try your settings as mine (posted some 20 updates ago) got me a good 250Khs on HD7950's.

Tried it, none fails when used each card alone. Also as i said before when using 3 cards toghter.. you never know which one fails, sometimes its 0, another time its 2(the gpu that is connected to monitor) sometimes its 1... it choose randomly.

Maybe im using old version of vertminer, can anyone send me the latest link to download?

I'm getting 163.5 khs per card! not 327 hashes each ! I used to mine @ ~650 dogecoin so I am currently mining @ 1/4 of the normal scrypt currencies :-/

My HD7950 (XFX's) config again, for 250+ Khs each:

R9 290 around 255KH/s.  Only Intensity max 13 and TC varies from 8192 to 14320 no difference to hashrate.  M:1500E:1000 increases to 270Kh/s

I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 from usb stick and use 4Gb RAM on Asrock Extreme 4 motherboard and sempron 145 cpu. 2x HD7950 (XFX DD and XFX DD Black) and 1x XFX R9 280x.

Also using AMD SDK 2.6 and (I think) 12.8 AMD Drivers. Forgot which version I used though.

tips welcome :-p

How? Can't pass 250Kh/s per core with you settings, that's so sad
P.S. lookup-gap 0 probably means 2 You can check your .bin files names.
