Hi all

On a hunch, I changed the shaders value in Cgminer from 1536 to 2048, even though the Tahiti LE core has 25% of its shaders disabled.

To my surprise, the rejects dramatically decreased and I have yet to see a hardware error.

Please help me confirm my findings by trying this on any gpu with shaders disabled.

For example, the cgminer shaders would be set to 1536, instead of the standard 1408 on a 6950. Likewise a 5850 would be set to 1536, instead of the norm 1440.

I have not seen the performance increase.. but you might.

Seems like you might have had a configuration problem to start... and just got rid of it.

I'm running 7950s (16 of them) with:

,
"temp-target" : "75",
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"intensity" : "20",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "16384",
"shaders" : "0",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"gpu-fan" : "5-100",
"temp-cutoff" : "85",

and seeing ~650kh/s per card.    Reject rate is 9/9692 or 0.093%
