401  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dummy question on videocard comparison - will the current cards become obsolete on: April 04, 2013, 07:55:46 AM

Quote

New AMD flagships are expected in Q4(?)

any idea what sort of percentage improvements the new amd's will present over the current ones?

7790 OpenCL performance -http://www.anandtech.com/show/6837/amd-radeon-7790-review-feat-sapphire-the-first-desktop-sea-islands/14
Check it's consumption and price first ; )
7790 is the first GPU based on new architecture, usually AMD rolls out the top card first, but now they are releasing the budget one.
Probably that's why it is called 7790 not 8750

Google "AMD Sea Islands" or "AMD 8000"

I understand what the "current" best cards are, but I am reading comments about some "new" cards or systems that are coming out soon and people seem to think they might make the old cards seem poor in comparison.  How will the current "best" cards compare to these new wonder cards?  And can someone give a dummies explanation of the new/coming cards?
nVidia will continue to suck.
AMD's new 7790 will be very power effective.
New AMD flagships are expected in Q4(?)
Anyway.. all GPUs are/will be absolete very soon.

You can't walk to a bank and trade 1btc for X amount of gold, though. It cannot be traded for something else of value at a fixed price.
You also can't with USD.

Even USD is a variant of Ponzi scheme.. relax ; )

Well..

Code 10 means video driver is not working.
OpenCL needs video driver to work.
Miners need OpenCL to mine..

Unless you can open VNC/RDC/TeamViewer (pm me if you will) I dunno how to help you further ; )

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
^^
This makes me think that you are using llvm-gcc or some old gcc.

Successfully compiled latest cgminer on
Mac Mini, Mac OS X 10.6.x, xCode installed(whether xCode installed or not affects brew installation paths)

Install "home brew"
Install missing libraries via "brew install"
F.e. - "brew install autoconf automake libtool"
I've also installed latest gcc

Had to tamper with autotools-
"
eval `brew --config | grep HOMEBREW_PREFIX | sed 's/: /=/'`
sudo bash -c 'echo '$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/aclocal5' >> `aclocal --print-ac-dir`/dirlist'
"
Essentially you want to make sure that in "dirlist" every m4 paths are written.


I've used following flags-
export CC="gcc-4.8"
export CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=core2 -mcx16 -msahf -mno-movbe -mno-aes -mno-pclmul -mno-popcnt -mno-abm -mno-lwp -mno-fma -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-bmi -mno-bmi2 -mno-tbm -mno-avx -mno-avx2 -mno-sse4.2 -msse4.1 -mno-lzcnt -mno-rtm -mno-hle -mno-rdrnd -mno-f16c -mno-fsgsbase -mno-rdseed -mno-prfchw -mno-adx -mfxsr -mno-xsave -mno-xsaveopt --param l1-cache-size=32 --param l1-cache-line-size=64 --param l2-cache-size=3072 -mtune=core2 -fPIC -mmacosx-version-min=10.6.8"
export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386-apple-darwin11.2.0 -arch x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0"

Flags were detected automatically by gcc -
$ echo "" | gcc -march=native -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Hardware_CFLAGS though this page is offline atm

./autogen.sh --enable-cpumining --enable-scrypt --build=x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0
Without specifying --build it all was going very wrong.

Also I had to force yasm to produce macho64 and not elf
/usr/local/bin/yasm -f macho64 x86_64/sha256_xmm_amd64.asm
Or you can manually change "Makefile"
change
    $(YASM) -f elf64 $<
to
    $(YASM) -f macho64 $<

Well, then driver is not installed ; )
Install the driver and reboot.
What does GPU-Z say?
410  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help with Dual Core and 6670 on: April 04, 2013, 04:25:43 AM
Looks like some ATI driver packages don't have OpenCL libraries in it, you might want to get the ones which have OpenCL.
AMD APP SDK should install OpenCL though.

Also, launch GPU-Z and check if it shows OpenCL support.

Imo with such hashrate it is better to mine LTC(pooled mining ofc) or use p2pool.

Thanks! ; )
416  Other / Beginners & Help / notroll.in does not notify if user or password was incorrect on: April 04, 2013, 03:48:58 AM
That's a shame.
Started mining there with ~10 workers with different hardware and software. Noticed that some of my workers were not counted in stats. However all workers reported that server was accepting the shares.
Took me a while to find out I've misspelled login there password here..
So.. if login or password was incorrect, notroll.in will accept shares but won't link them to you account ; )
