something else must be wrong. your miner reports your intensity is 8, not 13.
yes Im trying to figure out what but no one seems to know

I noticed it says cgminer 3.7.2 at the top. shouldn't you be using vertminer 0.5.2 or 0.5.3 instead...?

whats your config for the 270 (non x). I cant seem to get my gigabyte 270s stable with any of the settings in this thread. EDITCurrently testing the following (5 Gigabyte R9 270 non X) -v 1 -g 1 -I 17 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 12992 --gpu-engine 1086 --gpu-memclock 1475 --temp-target 73 --auto-fan -- temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 Here's what it looks like so far https://i.imgur.com/XPgJXda.jpg1 hw error right when I started but havent had one since. I will report back if it becomes unstable UpdateSo far only 2 HW errors and its been running for over 2 hours. Update2Been going for 8 hours now and I have 8 HW errors. I'd like to get to the point where I don't have HW errors at all but I am pretty satisfied with where I am at right now.

My config: 3 * Sapphire HD 7950 (Boost & 2*DualX) My Goal is to keep my rig under 700W and therefore I undervolt the cards. I did this in the BIOS (with VDE software). Second goal is too keep the temp below 75 degrees. I have an additional fan blowing over the cards. With this config I get around 800 kH/s, no hardware errors and 680Watt for my whole rig. I could easily go above 300 but then I had to turn the voltage up and i dont wanna do that. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freeimagehosting.net%2Fnewuploads%2Fu9umu.jpg&t=665&c=1WIeE10J5c3qOQ) Using Vertminer and some settings in the vertminer config: "intensity" : "18, 18, 18", "vectors" : "1", "worksize" : "256,256,256", "lookup-gap" : "2", "shaders" : "0,0", "thread-concurrency" : "19400, 19400, 19400", "gpu-engine" : "0-1000,0-975,975", "gpu-memclock" : "1350,1300,1150", Edit: Still finetuning some clock/memsettings but this is a basic stable config.

this has been covered many times before, and even I asked about it after others had asked what u did. it is modified cgminer , no idea why they called it cg when i dl it and etc its called Vertcoin-CGMinerAleks_NR3 when u run it its called cg for some reason, i even changed name of it and it says cg

Another day experiment give me new observations :
Systems limit by 4GB give TC limit of 8192 and Intensity 13 regardless of number of GPU.
Testing one rig with 8GB with 2 R290X can equally drive to 440kH/s each and undervolt by 50mV with MSI Afterburner E 1000 M 1500 TC 24000.
For normal R290, Hynix RAM (E 1000 M 1500 ) outrun Elpida (947 1250 ) by 10% give 440kH/s to 400kH/s. Elpida with 1000 1500 seems not the optimum setting anymore and instead will drop to 380kH/s. TC 24000.
The Adaptive each time + 1 will need additional 4GB RAM? 8GB can only last you to 2016. After 2 years faster RAM and GPU will replace the current generations of GPU and RAM with 12nm devices. So ASIC with 100 times speed need 800 GB RAM will be economically not viable.

Hi, I am running Vertminer 0.5.3 on Xubuntu 12.04. So far no problems. Only one thing that bothers me is that Vertminer is not showing overview of hashrate, fan speed, temperatures, etc. as usual but I get screen of "running" text where actual hashrate is sometimes shown at the very bottom. http://s15.postimg.org/7zfhl1rrf/vertminer.gifDo you have any idea what is wrong? Thanks for help. Do you have libncurses5-dev installed? I installed mentioned lib but unfotunately with no efect. Any other idea? Is there someone who runs Linux rig who can share experiences? Thanks. Did you compile yourself? If so try again now that cursus lib is installed? Everything seems to be installed but vertminer still not showing details. I found similar topic to be discussed on Reddit. I tried both suggestions but again nothing..

Hello guys! I do not know if anyone had the same problem but when i mine (any vert pool that is) my cgminerAleks.n3 shows 310 and 350 on each of my R9 280x whereas the pool shows 15-55kh/s Can you help? It appears to run ok and accepting..
First, check your HW errors. If you have a lot of errors, then the pool isn't receiving much work. Then, just wait. The pool will catch up. It estimates your hashing power from the number of shares to submit. Many thanks for the response my friend. We'll I am in a bit of an odd situation. I run a system with 2x8gig ram, 8core and and 2 r9 280x I set it up with l 13 and it hashes 380 and 320 on each of the cards but it does 10-50 kh/s on the pool. When I lower the l to 12 it does 302 and 270 on the cards and that reflects on the pool fine. I don't know why and wish I could explain why this happens. I use the correct cg miner, concurrency is set to 4096 as it cannot go any higher on my cards for some reason, other values are 256, -g 2 etc.

2x Tri-x Sapphire R9 290 here 1 is ok, 1025-1475 intenisty 17, TC 24550 - 450kh/s..rock stable. 1 is having HW errors. All the time I run on Intensity 17 (hashrate about 420-430k/s) on 1000/1350-1375 HW 10-15 in first 15minutes, sick, reboot. 990/1475 - same 990/1450 - same 980/[1450/1475] - after few hours few HW 970/[1450/1475] - after 12 hours few HW 960/1450 - after 24h 5 HW 1000/1250 - HW 10-15 in first 15minutes, sick, reboot. (440kh/s) 970-1250 - testing now, report tomorrow evening. (425kh/s) I want to go down to 0 with HW..not sure what's wrong with this cards..maybe I could try to copy bios from the other one and put it into that one? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) they are both Hynix..funny is that this one has 84% asic quality, while the better one has "only" 76%.

Does anyone have decent settings for R9 290x with Elpida RAM? I have 3 rigs with 3 cards each and am 'only' getting about 320kh per card
Been following this thread and it looks like these cards should be running a little better but I have not had any success tuning them. I am currently running I-18 TC-25550 threads-1 dyninterval-7 platform-0 vectors-1 lookup-gap-0 worksize-256 GPU-925 Mem-1500 stock voltage
I have adjusted the GPU clocks up to about 1025 and get a little improvement, but it is unstable and crashes within about 10-15 min
If I adjust the Mem clock down or the Intensity then hash rate drops
Cards are sapphire reference cards - they hash on normal scrypt at about 880-900kh (win7) - I have one of these same cards in a BAMT machine that is hashing at 980kh - so I think they have more potential, but haven't been able to tease it out yet...

I'm having issues mining vertcoin. I've been scrypt mining on a 6870 at 300Kh/s with these arguments:
-I 18 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 6720
When I tried moving to the modified vertcoin miner even with lowering the intensity to 12 (or even 8 ) I get nonstop:
(Too many invalid shares)
I don't see anything in the documentation that notes any other settings I should be using. Is there something I'm missing?

Let me start off by saying I know about as much about setting up miners as your great grandparents.
I am in need of an extremely trustworthy individual that can be verified somehow to help me set up mining vtc on my rigs. I have 5 rigs, the majority using 280x cards or 270 cards. We will use teamviewer to set everything up, each rig will need to be setup.
This person needs to be extremely well versed with vertcoin and mining it in order to tweak my settings to the absolute best. Trust will be established via paypal, payment will be 50 bucks per rig or 250USD
Interested parties PM me!
Thanks

I have a couple questions I was hoping you guys could help out with. I am looking at buying a mining rig that has 7 r9 290 GPU's. The rig has 4 GB of ram. From the research I have been doing it seems that vertcoin uses a lot more memory compared to other currency's. Do you have any baseline of how much ram will be needed for 7 290 GPU's? I was thinking of putting 16gb in there and giving it a try. Thanks in advance.

You need to flash R290 to R290X and I think it is 8GB minimum for TC above 8192.

I have downloaded the newest version of vertminer, and my computer won't generate a .bin file.
The modded miner just freezes when generating the bin.
Starting the miner with no .bat also freezes.
Suggestions?
