low hashrate

[D3PTH]

hey guys i dont know if this is on the right catagory but heregoes

i started mining a few days ago on a pool called COINKING. i mined for a solid 2 days but my hashrate was incredebally low. i was mining at a solid 37.8 Kh/s. I used the pools premade scrypt to my corresponding gcard which is a Visiontek 7790. the pool didnot have a scrypt for a Visiontek card, but i downloaded a 7790 one. i am using cgminer 3.7.2 here is my scrypt.bat file

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us1.coinking.io:7777 -u matt2dlg.1 -p x -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8000 --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-engine 920
PAUSE

and my cgminer.conf

Try to rename the cgminer conf with other name and use the bat to start the miner, maybe the conf file is corrupted and can't load a properly config and mine with default

[amacar]

Use either .conf or .bat with arguments. As I see this .conf is definitely wrong for your graphic card.
You should get more than 230kh/s, so 35kh/s is very low.

Check here: https://litecoin.info/mining_hardware_comparison for 7790 settings and try which one gets you the highest hash.

[D3PTH]

which one should i choose? theres a bunch of configs for different brands of 7790s. no visiontek

You will have to try a few then.  If there is not a pre-done one those give you a idea of where to start.

One of the things about GPU's is setting up configs.  I do suggest doing ROI math for most gpu is dead sadly.

I think it is important to note that Scrypt mining at this point can be carried out only as an exercise.

With an hashrate so low, are you sure it's GPU mining in the first place?
I had a report from an user who somehow couldn't use his GPU. For some reason, the driver would go full CPU emulation.
Are the CPU cores loaded as normal?

[D3PTH]

yea i believe so. but im using my gpu, not my cpu soo...

[Gumbork]

yea i believe so. but im using my gpu, not my cpu soo...

Did you try diffrent setting on gpu thread?

[amacar]

At first just set thread concurrency and gpu threads (-g flag) and you should get over 160kh/s, because memory and core are then for fine tuning.
Also install altest AMD drivers and maybe AMD Sdk

[D3PTH]

thanks so much for you guys responses. after trying pretty much every config, i still cannot get more than 50kh/s. i noticed somthing though. im getting hw3 errors and no matter how i set my setting it always shows my gpu at 0%. here's a screenshot.

Did you try running everything at stock settings?

[D3PTH]

you mean without the .bat? i dont think you could run a stock config lol. if you can tho, tell me.+

[MaxDZ8]

I mean with no overclock.
But anyway yes, last time I tried with no configs at all the miner guessed a nice config anyway.

[D3PTH]

so its all fixed. but a few things. cgminer says im mining over 220Mh/s. BUT im constantly getting temporarily banned, and my pool is not showing anything. my hashrate according to the site is 0, my workers health is "unavailable" and i haven't gotten a single coin. but cgminer says its running smoothly!

[amacar]

If you get temporarily banned then you are sending too much of invalid shares. Try changing worker on pool (worker.2 for example) and if the same happens try changing pool and if the same happens you have something wrong in your settings.
Anyway 220MH/s is surely wrong

[D3PTH]

changed pools, but heres a screenshot

as you can see, MH/s and also still getting banned

[MaxDZ8]

You are most likely mining SHA256D... or some other algo which is not scrypt. Post your startup .bat! I think 7790 will be in the order of a two/three hundreds khs!

As a side note: depending on pool and block speed, you might have to mine quite a lot before getting coins (not that any of this matters if you get banned).

You have to add the --scrypt flag to mine on scrypt. I can't believe how no one has told you, given the many responses here.

Give up on GPU Mining, btw.

i have no bat file. that was what was screwing up my miner in the first place. im mining scrypt. doge and anon

Well you need a bat file to add the --scrypt flag. If it's displayed in MH/s, you mining SHA-256, and not scrypt.
