CGminer help with 270x card
-
Have you installed AMD APP SDK?
-
Yep. Running on version 2.9, same as in my pc running on a 7950.
-
Read my post in topic that Ernesto linked …
-
As I posted earlier, I already looked at that thread.
Perhaps I am blind, but I dont see any reference to any issues in that thread where a card is being disabled. If you could point me to which part of that thread you think would be useful, I would appreciate it.
-
The part where I wrote about creating a config file . How many RAM you have ?
-
RAM or PS is what I am thinking may be wrong. As I am just using old just mb/ram/ps I had laying around to set this one up it only has 1GB of RAM and it is only a 430W junker ps. I am going to try to move it into my current pc with my 7950 later today assuming my riser cables come in.
I will try to modify using a .conf file and see if that changes anything though. Thanks for input! :)
-
ok, the conf file helped me track down some additional information. Not sure that I know what it means thought.
I am able to get cgminer running if I remove the scrypt flag. Not very useful, but it at least gives me some information that says for whatever reason the problem is because of trying to use scrypt. Not sure if that means SDK wasnt installed good or something else. Guess I’ll continue to dig.
-
When you start the SDK setup there is a option to repair, try that … Did you move the card to your other PC to check if it work there ?
-
Tried to repair SDK last night - no go
Tried complete uninstall of AMD software (catalyst and sdk) - no go
Tried my 7950 in my ‘problem’ rig - no go
Tried my 270x in my ‘working’ pc - worksDefinately something with my rig setup, but not sure what. Again, if I remove the ‘scrypt’ from the .conf it acts fine, other than running in MH/s instead of KH/s and, you know, not working for scrypt coins. :'(

OK, just wanted to follow up on this. It seems that my issue was the amount of ram in the system. Not sure why sha256 seems to work but scrypt will not. Oh well.
I had 1gb and couldn’t get any scrypt mining to work. I swapped some stuff around and with 2gb I am able to get it mining using .conf files. It still will not run if I try to launch using .bat files with flags like I originally was. Fails with the same error as is posted above.
Anyway, I am just posting this in case anyone else comes across this as I was unable to find any good info on this specific error.
