GTX 970 vs R9 280X

[ReiMomo]

I want to buy a video card but I need to know the hash rate between 280X and GTX 970 with Lyra2RE with Pallas miner and X11 with x11mod.

[Amph]

970 is better, better hash and better consumption(lower wattage), no comaprison, 280x is old, if you want to go with amd buy a 390(not the x version) , should be good enough and faster than a 970

[ReiMomo]

But the 390 doesn't have VGA output, I heard the 380 is the same as 280 and I can't see any 380X,
I just need to see the hash numbers first.

[LordCoder]

I have bought a 380 for mining. If you want some hashrate information, tell me the hash you'd like to try and I mine for you.

[ReiMomo]

I need to know X11 and Lyra2RE.

[LordCoder]

I need to know X11 and Lyra2RE.

X11: 3 Mhash/sec
Lyra2RE: 457.2 khash/sec (maybe using awful config).

X11: 3 Mhash/sec
Lyra2RE: 457.2 khash/sec (maybe using awful config).

3mhash is too low.
You need new optimized binaries from wolf0 compiled for the Tonga chipset. maybe he will sell it to you?

[ReiMomo]

I suspect the GTX will be faster, especially with Quark, X11, Lyra2RE and Grøestls.

LordCoder, check lyra with different -w numbers, I got from 71 to 143 Khash by changing from -w 256 to -w 32 with my integrated Intel graphics (HD 4600 @ 1500 MHz). With CPU I get 802 Khash (i7 4770K @ 4100 MHz)
I think I gonna change to Nvidia

Probably, but think that it's more than a 290x with public binaries, so it's worth IMO.

You are correct i suggest too GTX. becouse faster and really have a good optimizations for GTX.  (X11) idk for Lyra2RE

should be higher than 2.2MH/s on lyra, the 980ti doing 2.5MH/s

[LordCoder]

After doing some tweaks on X13, it currently hashes at 2.7 Mhash/sec with 1100 Mhz clock and Mem Clock at 1463 Mhz. I'm going to check for Lyra2RE if that config is good for it.

[sp_]

the 280x should do around 5-5.5MHASH with the 280x.

You need wolf0 optimized binaries:

Get them from here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/2o1yoz/rewritten_x11_binaries/

copy them into the sgminer folder.

or just download this:

http://cryptomining-blog.com/5186-updated-miner-control-tool-packages-for-amd-and-nvidia-3/




1. Download the latest AMD driver 15.6 beta
2. copy wolf0's binfile and rename it to the same name as the generated binfile

The latest drivers will automaticly recompile the bin file to the correct architecture. So if you have a tahiti bin, it will be converted to a tonga bin behind the scenes. Note that on the older drivers. 14.6 14.7 etc this don't work.

Anyone With GTX 970?
Also would like to know Skein, Quark, Scrypt and SHA256D.

AMD 280x hashrates:

quark: 12MHASH (closed source russian miner)
lyra2:  1.5MHASH (pallas opensource)
qubit   11MHASH (closed source russian miner)
x11:    6.5MHASH (wolf0 closes source binaries)
x13:    5.2MHASH (wolf0 closes source binaries)
x15:    4.5MHASH (wolf0 closed source stolen binaries)
keccak: 380MHASH (kalroth's maxcoin miner)

[d0om]

Are those hashrates based on a newer binary? Wasn't getting that back when I toyed around with Wolf0's stuff, and I got quite a boost from sweetspotting my card.

[rednoW]

could someone test 280x with kachur x11 bin?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.msg11875320#msg11875320
I've got more then 6mhs on 7950 at 1100mhs. 280x must be better.

But i still prefer quark as it can be run with low memory frequency and low temps.

As for the lyra - nvidia has an epic win here with latest djm's ans sp_'s achievements.
Small and cool gtx750 1gb doing better then huge monster - my 7950 3gb.

I didn't know that. Thanks!
