m5city Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 hi, i'm new to Mincoin, i just stated working on it today! im mining with 3X R9 290, i used to mining litecoin and some others, i use same sitting for all of them , but today i keep getting Error -4 on cgminer, it is saying my thread concurrency is too high, i got no idea for this. my setting worked for all other coins, why not Mincoin? can anyone help? here is my setting: -I 20 -g 1 --worksize 512 --thread-concurrency 27400 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 960 --gpu-memclock 1250 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-platform 0 --gpu-fan 75 thanks!

CC66 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Try adding these commands to the beginning of your cgminer .bat file. The first one should solve the issue you're having allowing higher --thread-concurrency setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC66 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 yes i have this on my BAT file! First delete the old .bin files. Then run the .bat file without --thread-concurrency xxxxx cgminer will try and find the TC that's right for your card. In the cgminer folder look for the new .bin file created that looks something like this scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc22400w256l4.bin the number after the "tc" is the thread concurrency that should work for your card. On my 280x I use --thread--concurrency 22400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongAndShort Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 ......... -I 20 -g 1 --worksize 512 --thread-concurrency 27400 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 960 --gpu-memclock 1250 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-platform 0 --gpu-fan 75 Usually lookup gap plays a part with tc issues but this is my line for 290x dont know if it will help but its a try its a sweet spot i get about 845kh..i have higher temps atm because i want it to be quiet but its safe at that level it just uses more power cause power gets dispersed by way of heat if you don't mind noise keep ur fan at 75 imo..hope it helps -I 20 -g 1 -w 512 --auto-fan --temp-target=85 --temp-overheat 92 --thread-concurrency 32765 --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 1 -s 1 --no-submit-stale --queue 0 --gpu-engine 880 --gpu-memclock 1375 --gpu-powertune 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubm Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc22400w256l4.bin wouldn´t w256 stand for worksize 256 ? just out of curiosity ... that would mean worksize 256, thread concurrency 30592 and lg2 for lookup-gap 2 ________________________________ with worksize 512 should n´t it be thread concurrency 15296 lookup-gap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongAndShort Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Older cards you used to have to play with lookup-gap but 290 is safe to just use lookup-gap 2 and if its not in the batch file or conf then it will automatically set 2 His/her TC dosn't make sense TC should be around 12x shader clock, which for 290 (no x) is 2560 and should be in multiples of that number to be optimal. worksize should be fine at 512 for a few 290 cards but will prolly be better to be used in this formula. 250KH and below: 16 250+: 32 500+: 64 1000+: 128 2000+: 256 3000+: 384 4000+: 512 To me his/her ultimate settings would be -I 20 -g 1 --worksize 256 --thread-concurrency 30720 If he/she is still having errors could be a lack of ram issue (even though it worked for one coin but not another. Its weird and i have found weird phenomona in this regard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC66 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Here's one of the couple version's of cgminer I've been keeping up with. You can usually find the dev on irc or gtihub http://k-dev.net/cgminer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
