This thread seems interesting.
Going to sub to this.
Because I need a place to put all my GPUs after ASIC.

Thanks. Alas I cannot seem to get anywhere near these values with my 7970s. I remain very very sceptical. I can easily push the values up to those hashrates, but the amount of useful shares drops to 10%.

have you tried just using reaper with those setting? and not just its kernel, although it shouldn't make a difference.
Same results.

I'm going to ask for my bounty back if CGminer doesn't beat this score:
What were your settings?

Hang on a sec while I pull all that hardware out of my arse....

Oh wait, I don't have any of those in there.

Considering the bounty only just got reached and I was generous enough to even start working on it before it was reached, some patience would be appreciated since I never guaranteed it would be available yesterday. If not, you can have you money back, as can everyone else.

I have 13 5870 cards, is there a possibility of getting a copy of cgminer for litecoin to test on my rigs?

Are you running the cards all on the same rig?  LTC mining is GPU memory bandwidth intensive, if all 4 cards are running at only 1x or 4x or even 8x you'll probably be bottlenecked.

Try using only one GPU in running at 16x.

Indeed it was using quite a bit of memory... investigating further.

Perhaps CGMiner reports different than what is expected at the pool ? ...in terms of shares submitted ?

Obviously my hash rates seem OK, but my share count in Reaper is NO where near what CGMiner is able to produce.

As a reference, I am using the same Reaper settings as stated above.
I have a 5 card 7970 rig running with a 1800 Shares + 24 Stales in 1520 seconds of runtime...2.6 MH/s

Con, what does the POOL REPORT you as submitting ? (kh/s ?)

1800 shares in 1520 seconds of runtime is a utility of 71 shares per minute TOTAL. However, you don't specify where you're mining as the difficulty target will affect that.

In my experience, that isn't a factor. My memory is at default, and I'm cross-fired with 8x PCI-E bandwidth.

Sorry if that came across as confrontational or impatient. I just wanted to point out that reaper is ahead of the game.

That's exactly what I meant.... your utility rate blew me away.

I am currently mining @ litecoincash.com

The pool reported almost exactly the same hashrate I was getting locally at 1500 khash.

Here is info from the Litecoincash pool thread...

Speeds are now back to something more usual staying a bit higher as we setup 21 target

Test period is over and pool running smotly now, with a BIG luck for now

So 21 * 71 = 1491 shares per minute. 1491 divided by 5 cards is 298 utility. That's almost exactly what I'm getting.
