i actually ended up doing really similar if not the exact same as what you posted.. last 24hrs
2 threads..
queue at 0 with low scan and expiry etc
Intensity at 12 the whole time (with low TC although high seems to cause crashing a but more)
and the shaders setting i am sure makes no difference because if you specify TC it get overridden and then shader setting does nothing.
guys i know what i am doing this ain't my first dance
i'm telling you it's causing my driver to crash on the weakest of weak setting no matter what
and another guy was getting the same thing mentioned on sgminer topic too on ALL the various builds.
so i guess we have to be doing something wrong though..
but it really makes me wonder if the sgminer algo code is optimized properly.
It really shouldn't be
that buggy..
Like there is extremely different code bases used for Quark written in c..
They had been written using different approaches and are vastly different.
i have to keep reminding people i have coded miner moods of my own for a year too so your not talking to a noob
after i started a year ago i had a 90% complete working miner program ported from Cudaminer that was a windows GUI based
i wrote it in MFC and as far as i am aware that is the ONLY real miner with a windows gui in existence.
And i dropped it because it was 100x faster to do coding work and compile for a console app.. dev laziness lol
But i could finish it and release it pretty easily if i wanted to..
I have spent huge amounts of my life in the last year staring at and working on miner code.
and something is not right here guys.. THAT is what i am trying to say.
There is no way that the miner should be crashing the display driver that easily when it has never happened once in my life until this coin.
get what i am saying ?
I appreciate all the feedback in response to my asking..
Seriously thanks a lot guy for taking the time to post and YES it is helpful.. all can do is experiment i suppose and lower the crash frequency.
I didn't want this comment to seem like an ungrateful know it all and your idiots kinda comment.
BUT.. it is.. i am the best and smartest
PS:
jk
but seriously though, i am still stuck at square one and i have to fix the problem myself.
it's clear what the deal is.. to me anyway.
i think what has happened is you guys all just think this is normal but why should i be doing 90% usage with no HW errors
using ultra weak settings and have my driver crash like a broken record ? If i told you all i was mining scrypt or scrypt- and said that what would you all think ?
I really think there must be a problem with implementation and coding of a dozen+ algo's in sgminer
i was pretty damn stunned to such bad performance and temperamental behavior.
Like i have not crashed my driver on any other coin once.. what happens faaar before that usually on other algo's is i get HW errors or lower performance.
does anyone see what i am saying yet ?
There must be something up with your windows setup. Is it up to date ?
Which set of drivers are you running ? I'm using 14.2 beta1.3 ..
