Just like in bitcoin mining, scrypt mining takes an intensity, however the |
|
|
|
|
scale goes from 0 to 20 to mimic the "Aggression" used in mtrlt's reaper. The |
|
|
|
|
reason this is crucial is that too high an intensity can actually be |
|
|
|
|
disastrous with scrypt because it CAN run out of ram. High intensities |
|
|
|
|
start writing over the same ram and it is highly dependent on the GPU, but |
|
|
|
|
they |
|
|
|
|
can start actually DECREASING your hashrate, or even worse, start producing |
|
|
|
|
garbage with HW errors skyrocketing. Note that if you do NOT specify an |
|
|
|
|
intensity, cgminer uses dynamic mode which is designed to minimise the harm |
|
|
|
|
to a running desktop and performance WILL be poor. The lower limit to intensity |
|
|
|
|
with scrypt is usually 8 and cgminer will prevent it going too low. |
|

|
|
The scale goes from 0 to 42. The reason this is crucial is that too |
|
|
|
|
high an intensity can actually be disastrous with scrypt because it CAN |
|
|
|
|
run out of ram. High intensities start writing over the same ram and it |
|
|
|
|
is highly dependent on the GPU, but they can start actually DECREASING |
|
|
|
|
your hashrate, or even worse, start producing garbage with HW errors |
|
|
|
|
skyrocketing, or locking up the system altogether. Note that if you do |
|
|
|
|
NOT specify an intensity, cgminer uses dynamic mode which is designed |
|
|
|
|
to minimise the harm to a running desktop and performance WILL be poor. |
|
|
|
|
The lower limit to intensity with scrypt is usually 8 and cgminer will |
|
|
|
|
prevent it going too low. |
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY: Setting this for reasonable hashrates is mandatory. |

--shaders XXX |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a new option where you tell cgminer how many shaders your GPU has. This |
|
|
|
|
helps cgminer try to choose some meaningful baseline parameters. Use this table |
|
|
|
|
below to determine how many shaders your GPU has, and note that there are some |
|
|
|
|
variants of these cards, and nvidia shaders are much much lower and virtually |
|
|
|
|
pointless trying to mine on. If this is not set, cgminer will query the |
|
|
|
|
device for how much memory it supports and will try to set a value based on |
|
|
|
|
that. |

SUMMARY: This will get you started but fine tuning for optimal performance is |

required. |

required. Using --thread-concurrency is recommended instead. |
