      Have a park of sapphire 7950 cards.
      Now i have between 530-570hash pr card.

      The one that gives me best cgminer settings regarding stability/hash speed will recieve 300ftc :)
      It goes to say that the settings need to get my hash above my current state.

            Run in administrator CMD prompt:
            setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
            setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

            Then:
            -I 20 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 22400 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500

              running xubuntu/cgminer 3.3.1
              using the litecoin guide which uses:
              fglrx-updates/fglrx-amdccle-updates/fglrx-updates-dev

              so as im understanding using the latest version available.
              im no linux geek so please dont make me trolling around linux to find stuff:P

              will start to test out one at the time

                Gives me an average of 2283khahs (570,5 pr card) with jumping from 500-600 up and down=)
                My old stat was 2215khash (553,75 pr card) with pretty stable around 550khash.

                Temp however seems to be lower then previouse, now its 70-76degrees, before it was 77-80

                [/quote]

                Allready had those setx commands. Do however question the powertune to 20? isnt that a bit over the board? do not want another barbecue

                    Gives me an average of 2310 (577,5 pr card), fairly stable with cards dipping down to 500 sometimes.
                    Temperature stays the same

                        and

                        thread-concurrency" : “21712”,

                        Engine and memclock are most important. See if these get stable above 600.

                          Those previous settings are Ye olde Faithful but I would also try

                          1115 gpu/ 1500 mem with Thread concurrency 20480, intensity 19, g 1

                          and setting powertune in trixx at +15% or 20%

                          That might bump it higher.
                          [/quote]

                          I dont have trixx running linux=)
                          hmm 15-20% what do that equal in power tune

                              Anyway, try these:

                              [code]“intensity” : “20,20,20”,
                              “vectors” : “1,1,1”,
                              “worksize” : “256,256,256”,
                              “kernel” : “scrypt,scrypt,scrypt”,
                              “lookup-gap” : “2,2,2”,
                              “thread-concurrency” : “21712,21712,21712”,
                              “shaders” : “0,0,0”,
                              “gpu-engine” : “0-1100,0-1100,0-1100”,
                              “gpu-fan” : “0-85,0-85,0-85”,
                              “gpu-memclock” : “1500,1500,1500”,
                              “gpu-memdiff” : “0,0,0”,
                              “gpu-powertune” : “20,20,20”,[/code]

                              This gives stable ~650kh on the sapphire vapor x 7950s with boost enabled. Not sure which sapphires you have.
                              [/quote]

                              averaging 2557 with theese settings.
                              temp from 73-81.

                              So far you seem to be in the lead=P, will let it run for a while to check stability and/or if them goes way up

                              EDIT:
                              hmm i see that the fans are pushing max. thats not good in the long run. i have sapphire 7950 “with boost”: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1157&pid=1841&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

                                Seems D2 takes the victory!
                                Pushing 1500khash extra from my rigs total.

                                Now i just need to sell my CRAPPY XFX 7970 cards with their mesely 490khash each and change the 7970 with hw error to an 7950 (only rig with mixed cards…).
                                With those extra 3 7970 cards i will recieve, +two 7970 +1 7950 beeing idle i should be able to go to at least 14mhash.

                                Nutnut im closing in ;D

                                  Hmm do seem that fuzzy3 rig do not handle the new settings…

                                  4x 7950
                                  GigabyX58 dh3 motherboard
                                  Intel i7 920 socket 1366
                                  4gb memory

                                  powered extenders.

                                  Any idea what to do?
                                  This rig has done the same before when i pushed it…

                                  EDIT:
                                  Forgot to mention, the computer does not crash, only the cgminer hard crash, so i have to remote reboot the computer (headless)

                                    My money is on a heat related issue. I would try setting fan speed to fixed at least 85% and add a big fan behind the cards and see if it will run stable. Ive had cg miner crashing randomly even though it wasnt showing temps out of the 70s till I put fan speed fixed to at least 85%.

                                    hmm you might be right.
                                    Rotated the 420mm fan a little bit (one fan covers both fuzzy2 and three for a total of 8 cards)
                                    Also set fan-speed to 85% damn that got loud=P, but it seems stable for now

                                        sure want ftc to gain more ground/value

                                            Too much power draw from PSU? What exactly do you mean by crashed? PC rebooted or cgminer crash

                                            sorry bad explaining. Cgminer is completely frozen.
                                            when i killall the application and try to rerun cgminer it just autofreeze.
                                            not even ./cgminer -n will work.

                                            Have to restart computer for it to work again.
