Newb here, but I've done some reading. I have already started pricing AMD cards . I tried a google search for my issues below, but got nothing. And this site says I can't use the search function here. So I apologize if the solution has been posted.
I started with the poclbm-mod then shortly after saw that phoenix was supposedly better. I have an older Nvidia 9600 GSO 512 card that phoenix seems to get about 9.75Mh/s (poclbm-mod gets about 6.5). When I was running poclbm using:
poclbm-mod.exe -v -w 128 --user=user --pass=pass -d 0 -o site.com -p 8332
my DOS screen was full of "long poll: new block".
When I switch to phoenix using:
phoenix.exe -u
http://user:pass@site.com:8334/ -k poclbm AGGRESSION=9 WORKSIZE=128 -v
I mostly get a lot of "New block (workqueue) and "server gave new work; passing to workqueue".

[19/05/2011 16:24:12] Result 000000000cb2f5ba... accepted
[8.76 Mhash/sec] [20 Accepted] [7 Rejected] [RPC]
Also the occasional result accepted and a few rejected.
I've adjusted settings and can't seem to make a difference. I am not expecting faster Mhash/sec. My issue is efficiency. Is there something I can do to increase that? I was banned from bitcoinpool because of crappy efficiency. Now I am using slush pool or whatever because they don't ban for low efficiency. On bitcoinpool's forums, they would tell me it should be better, but not how to make it better.
