Help Please (290x Issue)

[2Supra4U]

Hello all.

 

I'm turning to the board for help as I can't get this figured out and its driving me crazy.

I can't get my 290x over 530 kh without hw errors galore. I don't know why but I just can't seem to find a setup that works.

My 3 other rigs have went pretty good. Two 4x 7850s and One 4x 270x. I can get 1.5 MH or a bit more from each with little issue.

 

But this 290x is drivng me crazy.

 

ok this is what is working for me right now....which is my best result so far.

 

--gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 512 -v 1 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 -T --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8166

 

I get 530-540 kh. Anything over intensity 13 and HW error galore.

Also if I go any higher for thread concurrency I get a CGMiner mem error saying your setting exceed and lower TC.

 

I also use gpu and mem but I removed it for now til I have it working properly.

 

I have tried using all the setup Ive seen on the the miner hash wiki pages and nothing works.

 

WTF?

 

Help Please lol

--gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 512 -v 1 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 -T --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8166

are those both "i"?

[2Supra4U]

no its a | , I had tried removing it before because I thought that too.

[Mentalguy]

try

 

--gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 512  -I 16 -g 1  --thread-concurrency 8000

nope gives me a blank cgminer window....so idea what its actually doing

First add this to your .bat:  setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

 

You should be able to run the thread concurrency on a 290x somewhere in the 24000 range minimum. I have had the error that you are referring to with high tc and it was always due to the system ram configuration. If you are running one stick try two or at least switch slots etc.

I have 16gb of ram in my system. 2 sticks.

 

 

would I need to type it as --setx gpu-max-alloc-percent 100 in order to use it in an argument?

 

as I use cgwatcher and cgremote and have my configs set as arguments in each profile.

Mine

 

 

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:7777 -u mentalguy.main -p 1216 --gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192

cant go higher with tc I get a error  and anything above int.13 is HW errors

I had the same problem, try using CGminer 3.6 and it will work
