Hello! Today I invested a few hours time into making a simple program to generate cgminer .bat launch files. The program is a simple, executable jar.

"cgEasy holds your hand through the creation of cgminer configs--All you need is your pool info and know what GPU you have!"

It works on all platforms being Java, but it makes .bat files for cgminer.exe, which pretty much limits it to Windows. All you need to know about your GPU is what it is--is it a 5970 or a 7970M? Or maybe a Mobile 3410? cgEasy has around 200 different GPUs programmed into it--from a 2008 laptop gpu like a Mobility Radeon HD 3200 to a desktop 7970. This program is not meant for advanced users with multiple different gpus which each have different #'s of shaders. cgEasy now also supports overclocking and overvolting settings, and has the default memory and core clocks programmed in for almost 200 gpus!

Yeah, hash rate seems about same between the two programs, but the stability of cgminer (plus all the nice built-in options for OC, fan control, etc.) is why I use it now.

And thanks!

Tried this for litecoin.. only was getting 6.7kh/s on my 7870's.. *unamused*

However, your bitcoin tool worked BEAUTIFULLY. I was never able to get cgminer to work correctly before on my own. What is your BTC address so i can send you a tip?

I like the idea of this program, unfortunately it doesn't work with my 6310m. I'll try it out on one of my other rigs a little later.

Don't use reaper, it's much less stable than cgminer and slower on the 7xxx series to boot.

Use the following cgminer settings:
--scrypt -g 1 --shaders 1280 --thread-concurrency 16000 --worksize 256 -I 13

for the 7xxx series you should use -g 1 and --thread-concurrency of (12.5 * number of SPUs)

Intensities of 7-15 tend to work best, setting intensity too high gives horrible hash rates and all stales

Should be faster than reaper if not as fast.  With a 6870 you should be getting 360kh/s in cgminer (I get 180kh/s in cgminer easy with a 7770, which has half as many compute units).  Additionally cgminer seems to use less power.

when setting  --shaders, the --thread-concurrency & --worksize is not need

I gave that a try and got 490-500 khash. This is with 1130mhz core/1200mhz memory on two 7870s and the computer is absolutely unusable (due to the high agression).

This is the config i typically use.. and I get 615 khash with it and the computer is perfectly responsive (with 99% gpu utilization).

What driver and SDK version are you using? I'm using the latest on win 7.. and no matter what settings I try I can't seem to get above 300 on either of my cards on cgminer or reaper.

Bounty of 25 LTC to whoever can get me some proper hashrates on a 7870 or 7950

I've tried both 12 and 13, but mainly have been running at 12.

I've been able to get 315 out of each of my 7870s (total of 630-640 in reaper).

On the 7950 (there is a 7870 in the same system as well, not sure if that matters) I have yet to get above 340, and that is in cgminer. Reaper it wont go above 310.

I'll try to keep playing with it hoping for a burst of better luck. but i'm running the ram at about 1350 on all the cards, so I doubt I have much more headroom there.

What is your LTC address? I'll send some coins your way for the help.
