Title: 2013 Dec: BFGMiner or CGminer or phoenix? Post by: vision3001 on December 04, 2013, 09:42:43 AM Am currently deciding to use one of these:
Having read several postings within "Mining software (miners)", it is not clear to me which is the best miner. From the forum,
Would appreciate any response here. https://i.imgur.com/xuuBSKN.gif Title: Re: 2013 Dec: BFGMiner or CGminer or phoenix? Post by: argakiig on December 04, 2013, 10:49:08 AM I have actually had better luck with older versions of CGminer than BFG. On win 8.1 64bit CGminer past 3.6 doesnt seem to want to work for my GPU and I have yet to experiment enough with BFG to find a version that works either. Never actually used phoenix so I couldnt tell you how well it works.

(i have a order of riser cables, though probably 2 weeks till i receive them)
With that said when i underclocked BFGMiner gave me much better hashing than what cgminer did with the same configuration, running: 2x - Asus Matrix Radeon R9 280x Title: Re: 2013 Dec: BFGMiner or CGminer or phoenix? Post by: vision3001 on December 05, 2013, 02:33:44 AM ???

I read that phoenix has these settings below, however am not sure if the processing is more efficient than the other two. Vectors on / Aggression Default / FastLoop off = ~29.5MH/s Vectors off / Aggression Default / FastLoop off = ~32MH/s Vectors off / Aggression Default / FastLoop on = ~41MH/s Vectors off / Aggression 3 / FastLoop on = ~46MH/s desktop lag barely noticeable Vectors off / Aggression 4 / FastLoop on = ~47.5MH/s with noticeable desktop lag Vectors off / Aggression 5 / FastLoop on = ~49.5MH/s but quite a bit of desktop lag Vectors off / Aggression 7 / FastLoop off = ~50MH/s but extreme desktop lag Vectors off / Aggression 7 / FastLoop on = ~51MH/s but extreme desktop lag |
