OK, it is working now.

The README needs updated on the display:


Since there is a DW now as well, which isn't listed. It's for Discarded Work per the pool info screen. What does that actually mean though? I have 3 rejected shares, 11 stale submissions discarded due to new blocks, and 5049 discarded work due to new block. But I don't know what discard work actually is. Shares not submitted similar to stales? Or something else?

With 4716 share submissions (3 rejected) at difficulty 2 (so 9426 accepted 6 rejected at difficulty 1) is 5049 discarded work due to new blocks high? It seems like a big number.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you. Had no idea. I was running 2.11.3. I'll go upgrade.

I have been noticing my cgminer 2.11.4 has been alternating the order of the cards between my 7850 and my 7970. Refer to my per device logs below. At first I thought it was saying my 7850 was cranking at the 7970 rate, but later I realized that it was just swapping the order of report. Anyone else seeing this? Thoughts on what options I have? I have read the README over and over, and tweaked a number of settings and remapped the GPUs since they were originally flipped. Am running W8Pro, AMD APP SDK v2.7. I've also been seeing cases of driver crash and recovering (mostly as I get aggressive with OC (<7850,7970> --gpu-engine 800-1100,900-1110 --gpu-memclock 1240,1430). My 7850 is on the cooler side of the case and it likes 340-350 MH/s, but my 7970 seems to be wimpy. I am a newb so please forgive any ignorance on my part!

Do you have recommendations for best versions to try with my setup?

Just a quick question for a minor still annoying issue 

every time i run cgminer a file named
poclbm130302GeForce GT 330Mv1w256l4.bin
appears in my desktop.

Is there a configuration to stop this from happening or to move it to another folder?

Thank you.

You could always maximise a window so you can't see your desktop. I don't even know what's on mine...

Hi guys,

bit of a noob here, just started mining and enjoying it. I recently setup my first 3 rigs with no problem

rig 1 - 4 x 7970
rig 2 - 4 x 6XXX
rig 3 - 2 x 7970

I thought I would try out some 7950 and got 2 with the plans of putting them into rig 3. However I was first testing them by themselves to measure the 2 x 7970 performance vs 2 x 7950.

However one of my 7950's is constantly getting the error AMD driver has stopped responding and has recovered. After that the card goes SICK and gets no mhash, while the other keeps on going.

Here is what I've tried:

- swapped the 2 x 7950 with the 2 x 7970 mobos/OS - the SICK follows the card to a new MOBO PSU OS. The 7970's work on either mobo.
- tried the 7950's by themselves - 1 mines fine by itself, the other gets SICK by itself and stops mining. Have also seen the GPU stats change to DEAD. After reboot it will mine again for 10 mins before again changing to SICK.
- Installed 13.3 beta drivers
- installed latest SDK 2.8 I think
- tried mining via 50 miner and guiminer - same thing

thanks for any help!

anyone got some good settings for HD7970 oc? What kind of hash rate should I be getting ?

Grand running fine then, thanks.

If it was a driver issue would both video cards show using the -n switch?
