hashrate 220KH/S

The VDDC of this card is locked at 1.206, I had to modify the BIOS to lower it to 1.150.

next target is 230KH/S

This setting should also ok for R9 270, because gpu-engine 1100, every 270 should be able to be overclocked to this core speed.

Sapphire HD 7850 1GB GDDR5 : 143 KH/s @ intensity 12 w/no HW errors - 165 KH/s @ intensity 13 w/few HW errors.

Updated :

--thread-concurrency 4096 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1150 -w 256 -I 12

I'm still playing around with the settings, but this is the first one I've managed to get over intensity 11 (@ 70KH/s) without a lot of HW errors.

hashrate 220KH/S

I have a Sapphire r9 270x but just can't get over 75 kh/s without HW errors.
It's strange I can't set a thread concurrency over 1024. I thought TC was a multiple of the shader count. My gpu has 1280 shaders and I can't even set thread-concurrency=1280 ?
It gives me "Error -61: clCreateBuffer, <padbuffer8>, decrease TC or increase LG"
I'm on windows with the modifed cgminer 3.7.2

[noobinscrypt]

Ive downloaded the miner in the OP and one of my GPUs keeps, failing,

The other gpu is giving me about 9kh/s, Im using a 7970 and 280x... heres my config file, no idea whats going on...

------------
First used 0.5.2 vertminer with this

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
vertminer(also tried just cgminer) --scrypt --url=stratum+tcp://XXXX8080 -u XXX -p XXX

didnt open at all, tried with other settings for GPU specific from another bat file i had, didnt open.

---------
second this one gave me 0 and 9kh/s...

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt --url=stratum+tcp://XXXX:8080 -u XXX -p XXX

--thread-concurrency=500 --intensity=13 --worksize 256 -g 2 --temp-overheat 94,95 --gpu-fan 50-90,50-90 --gpu-engine 1085,1010 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-vddc 1.06,1.06

I have 2 R7990's that get 360 x 4 gpu's. CVolt = 1060 (1.06), CClock = 1000, MemClock = 1500

[mamaie]

Thouse are the best settings for me

341kh/s

R9 290 :

What OS and driver are you using? I can't get more than 260 per gpu
Tried everything except Windows

I use vertminer and directly execute the command above.
I don't use vertminer.conf to set the parameters, it makes a lot of troublesome. For example, setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 can not be active if you use vertminer.conf, even if I separately execute setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 before running vertminer.
But for my 280x system and 7850 system, I can use vertminer.conf.

I have the same setting of 280x, but I set --gpu-engine 1080, it gives me 470 kh/s. My cards are asus 280x.

[benedictlol]

Hey guys me again with my R9 280x's!
On the config file in the vertminer folder (vertminer.CONF)
what code do i need to enter to control the fan speed - it's currently running at 85% all the time..

Thanks ^_^

I have everything downloaded and ready to go, but I can't figure out the command line to start for cudaminer

that doesn't make sense.

Guys, after restarting i've got a half from my usual hr.
sapphire r9 290x clocked to 1000-engine  1400-mem (cant get 1500. Artefacts everywhere)
udated win 8.1 650W 6gb ram, 14 catalyst and manually installed AMD sdk. Using the right miner.

Few hours ago I'va got 390 khs, but after restarting i've got a half of it!!  

My settings -I 20 -v 1 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 22000 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-powertune 10 --temp-target 89 --temp-overheat 95 -E 15 -Q 0 -s 30


And now I have 180 khs!! It makes me cry like a little girl. The only thing that i've done - is rebooting. Thats all! What's happening? Im totally sure that I didnt do anything.

Are you sure the 390 khs without any HW?
Notice thread-concurrency/worksize should be an integer.
BTW, why not use the above conf people posted.

I am also curious about it. May be I should execute setx as an administrator.

What does it mean to set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT above 100%? What does this actually do?

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

Higher Intensity produces HW errors.

There're some HW. A:200 HW:2
I'vw tried conf above. But they didnt work for me or was about 300 khs. Now i'm agree with 300, but can't get it back. Did i harm my GPU?

It's true, because your memory speed is 1400. I don't think your GPU is harmed, it's OK.

These are getting me about 330KH/s per GPU when using the PC.

When not using the PC for other stuff, I increase intensity to 20 and get 400KH/s per GPU.

A 7970, 7950 and any other configs and hashrates achieved would be great.

Is the HW high?  I can achieve 400KH/s with Intensity 20 but very high HW errors.  I cannot use 70% of normal scrypt TC as well.
