The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

I can't even load the modified CGminer with any configs listed here for 280x sapphire cards. AT ALL. I literally click the batch file and it pops the cgminer box up for a millisecond and then closes. What kind of b.s. is that

It's because of a very simple reason: your config file has wrong format for cgminer (may be some "," or "{" is missing etc). Cgminer detects that and shutdown. You can view the error message if you run your batch file from cmd window.

I've never set up a conf file, I just figured it would work with only a batch file...which has the same settings for vertminer so can I just delete the conf file?

In that case, try to run your batch file from the cmd window (click start->run-> type "cmd" and press enter). You can read the error message when cgminer shutdown and you can debug from it.

I have a rig with 4x r9 280x (powercolor turboduo)

1030/1500 undervolted @ 1.1v - this card does not like over or underclocking so I have to go with default clocks (dramatic hash drop even at slightest clock change)

using vertminer 0.5.2

fiddled with config a lot, this is the best one (powertune -20 gives a lot of boost):

Code:

"expiry" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1030,1030,1030,1030",

"gpu-powertune" : "-20,-20,-20,-20",
"intensity" : "13,13,13,13",
"temp-target" : "72,72,72,72",

"shaders" : "2048,2048,2048,2048",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192,8192,8192,8192"

this is what I get:

May i ask what that software is that you're using?

Thanks in advance sir.

[kopam]

Okay i cant get it running with any thread different then 8192. I am trying to run 4 7950's with 4 gb of ram, is this enoguh ? Is the problem in the RAM , do i need more ?
Anything i get other then 8192 it simply does not work.

[quarkkid]

For some reason or another on one of my rigs, vertminer will startup and run for about 30 seconds ..then everything will just freeze up and i have to hard reset....any ideas?

[KingSchultz]

Having a problem with GPU0 on both of my four-card 270 rigs. GPU0 on both rigs hovers between 10-20 kH/s while all other cards are near 200. Doesn't seem to be the windows idle/monitor issue like with cgminer because plugging in a monitor doesn't fix it.

Using stock config with the exception of adding all the cards to the devices. Same problem in Vertminer 0.5.3 and the Kev version.

[qumatru]

i'm stuck with 15kh/s with my 6870, i've tried all other 6870 settings plus around 30 other settings and nothing. same 15kh/s or crash. would appreciate some help.

[ArkaniusXII]

I will give 5 darkcoins(its what I have) to whoever helps me get vertminer working. I've tried several settings but nothing I do works. Vertminer just crashes, refuses to start, tells me there's no pools, or gives me some sort error no matter what I try. I've deleted almost every settings combo I've tried so I can't replicate the variety of errors I've received. All I want is for the damn thing to just work, while I would greatly appreciate settings advice functionality is much more important to me.

GPU 0: Gigabyte R9 270
GPU 1: Gigabyte R9 270
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750K Trinity 3.4GHz quad core
RAM: 8 Gb(4Gb x2) 2133 Mhz Gskill Sniper
Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD FM2+/FM2 A88X (GA-F2A88X-UP4)
Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
Catalsk Driver version: 13.12
Vert miner version: 0.5.2

These are my settings for the Kalroth Version of Cgminer(I deleted all the failed vertminer settings except for the pools). How exactly would I change these settings to get them to work on vertminer?

Try lowering thread-concurrency and/or intensity? You can also run vertminer with --verbose to get a more detailed error message.

Hello im kinda new to adabtive n scrypt ....

when i try to mine i get this problem where one of my cards have really low hash rate ....

i would like someone to help me with this problem ...

i got 2 amd 7790

where they both should get around 80 k/hash



my setting


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

[HCLivess]

Don't forget the -shaders option set accordingly to your GPU to optimize the efficiency of your mining

5850 or 5XXX is not best for script N mining as the bandwidth is only 256 bit. script N mining needs a lot of memory access.

scrap the shaders, try -g 1, change inensity to 13 for a try, set your gpu engine and memclock per card. Give 8193 thread-concurrency a try.

[kahir]

i tried i get worse results ....

first card at 2 k/hash and second at 50 k/hash
