AMD R9 380 mining QUBIT Algo - how ?

[hagie]

Is it possible to mine QUBIt with a  Tonga (R9 380/380x) cards. ?

sgminer won't compile a kernel for it ... my fault , amd driver fault or just impossible at the moment ?

Probably not worth it since there are no optimized kernels for your Tonga card. Its best with Tahiti

Can you try mine? I haven't got any feedback from Tonga users yet and I've been told it has nice instructions for AES!
Beware it's little more than a toy and for the time being I'm not even actively maintaining it. It's a strange beast and users have reported performance is quite odd.

Also try running some games in the background! I'm interested in keeping them smooth!

[hagie]

I will try this evening ..

If there is no optimized kernel, isn't it possible to use standard openCL instructions ?

Rename the tahiti binfile to get 12MHASH on the r9 380

Slow, back to the drawing board (last updated in 2015)

It was about time dude.

Thanks this works :

copied qubitcoinTahitigw64l4ku0.bin to qubitcoinTongagw64l4ku0.bin (the name sgminer gave me after he tries to build a kernel by itself)

start sgminer with the options : -k qubitcoin --intensity 18 --worksize 64 -g 2
not sure about the options - was in the qubit-start.bat.

gave me this result:

GPU 0:  75.0C 1613RPM | 9.408M/9.287Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:27.144/m I:18

Thanks for the hints !

Not as bad but the load on the card is the same like the copied tahiti kernel and sgminer ..

But I got only "bad numbers" at the pool, maybe something with the multiplier ,, I don't like to test any ^2 iteration ... :-(

Instead of -i 18. try  -X 512, -X 768 or -X 1024. There is a faster bin file out there. It is included in the nicehashminer in the sgminer 5.1.0 folder.

Did a fast test but didn't get much higher results (X 1024 / X 512) and kernel from NH miner. Got 9.3-9.5 MH

What driver are you using.  I think this miner works best with 15.7.1

I'm using the latest driver - the main job of the graphic card is gaming. I just thought about the possibility to use it for mining.

Holy crap man! This is really bad news for me! As a reference my 7750 does 2MHs! I will try updating the drivers and see what happens.

Do not rename anything ....

}  
 save as x11.conf

now make a bat fill to start the miner .use
sgminer.exe --config x11med.conf --no-submit-stale --gpu-dyninterval 10 --luffa-parallel --blake-compact --nfactor 10
save as x11.bat


nfactor 10 and  xintensity  200 will let the miner use all your video cards ram . do not mess with tread count or or gpu-platform keep as is or you will not mine anything any thing over  xintensity  250 will stop your gpu .have fun and good luck. I use the R9 390x with 8 gigs that is your cards big brother mm. o and update to Crimson Edition 16.5.1 Hotfix alwas updat lol ...
