          I think 13.4 is the best, but 14.4 for me was only 1% or 2% slower so not a huge difference.

          I was running 8.something and that would crash cgminer.

          What version are you currently using?

            I use AMD 14.4 Catalyst + SDK 2.9 .

            Can you mine with AMD 13.4 Catalyst + SDK 2.8 ?

              I could mine with just AMD 13.4, I didn’t have SDK installed at all, although I now have installed SDK 2.9.

              I have a Gigagbyte HD7870 GPU, running Windows 7 64 bit

                There have been known mining issues with 14.4 since release, 13.12 max on windows.

                  The best choice:

                  AMD 13.12 Catalyst + SDK 2.9

                  AMD 7850 CARD =48Khash/s ;

                  AMD 7970 CARD =16Khash/s ;

                  cgminer.exe --neoscrypt --fix-protocol -I 12,12 --worksize 256,384 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192 --shaders 1024,2048 -g 1 -o http://pool.ftc-c.com:19328 -u TRsuTqxAMKZNvC7JzGNgvM49rkQNcxqjhi -p x

                    I gave it a try last night on my nVidia 550M, Win7 and I got max 8 khs. Mostly default settings, --worksize 256 -I 13, no overclock. Driver version 294.10 - a bit old

                    76C gpu temp -> not bad

                    I think it can reach up to 10 khs with some tweakin

                    This is what i get with -I 14

                    Clipboard01.jpg

                    Limitation of the gpu?

                    And whats the logic 7850 to perform 3 times faster than 7970?

                    Do you guys expect the stratum implementation to raise the productivity significantly?

                      Try dropping the intensity I am using 11 on my 7870, on I 12 it drops performance by half, and on 14 I would probably only get around 8 too.

                      For normal Scrypt I 12 is the sweet spot for me but 11 is required for Neoscrypt

                        Is there anything special you needed to do to get cgminer working with nvidia?

                          absolutely nothing… works right outta the box. I am curious to see what a decent desktop nvidia could do

                              ive got three 750ti cards in a rig at home I may have a try and get this miner up and running with them.

                                I have one 750Ti and get about 35khash reported by the miner with default settings, just I=10
                                If I set intensity to a higher value, hw errors increase.
                                By the way, the pool reports about 24 khash only, but no errors.

                                Some hashes ‘lost in transit’? ;)

                                  Wellenreiter, do we need external help with the stratum? Do you think it would increase productivity?

                                  I can get my 550M to work up to I-13 without HW. -I 12 and -I 13 make little difference tho.

                                  I hate to say it but it seems the 7850 has the edge over 750ti productivty wise while at same price… :( Tho I am not sure if lizhi had aggressive overclock or its just too hot in China :D - 86C

                                  What temps are you getting with the 750ti ? Have you tried I-13 ?

                                    cgminer say “Maximun buffer memory device 0 supports says 536870912”

                                    Please reduce the thread-concurrency

                                      750ti are less power hungry tho?

                                        does -g 3 -I 17 work, or throwing back HW errors, anyone tried those settings?

                                            -g 2, 3 crashes the miner here

                                            lizhi, you are correct. High tread concurrency was the cause
