Genesis Mining Presents: SGMiner-GM - now with Zawawa's GG! [Updated 17/01/2017]

[Ursul0]

I have 5 cards on my system.  R9 270, rx 570, (2) rx 470, rx 480.  No matter what I do, one card will always fail except the r9 270.  It starts every single time.  I get Gpu X failed, disabled.  Any tips?  The only time I don't get a failure is if I have just the r9 270 and one other card connected.  I'm running windows 10.  I have used drivers 16.9.2, the block chain drivers, and the latest amd drivers.

Thanks,

hmmm... are you sure you are pushing correct configurations to the right cards?
this is how I configure my single 370 among the 470s :
            "rawintensity": "512,512,512,512,384",
            "worksize": "4,4,4,4,10"

This miner ignores '--name' parameter. It unconditionally uses the first pool from a config file, regardless of having other elements of 'pools' array.

What's up with the crazy high rejects rates?
Hashing Cryptonight I'm getting 5+% of rejected shares on various pools/coins on this miner, while the GG pre6 rarely goes above 3% rejects.

No problems here.

Is this miner works OK with nanopool? I've tried one, but the accepted shares log updates surprisingly slowly - about 1 share per minute.

It may help if you are more specific about which coin it is you are mining on Nanopool. I use sgminer on Mining Pool Hub, to mine Monero, and it runs smoothly without any problems. Maybe try a different pool and see if there is an improvement.

[Murfy76]

Stay away from nanopool and monero mining, there is high difficulty. You can mine more XMR with other pools. Second reason, nanopool became more like megapool - it's too big for network.

@Wolf: Best miner I've used, thank you! Btw: Is there any chance that you will release new version of sgminer-gm?

This is not correct for the size of nanopool ....see here: http://minexmr.com/pools.html

But right:

Here are some pools with their difficulty........ and nanopool has the highest and static difficulty

Nanopool: Share difficulty is static and equal to 120000

dwarfpool: 100000 for high-end CPU and GPU-Rigs

minexmr: Difficulty: 35000 Description: SSL port for Claymore

monero-crypto-pool.fr: Difficulty: 50000 Customs Difficulty Accepted: Append +DIFF Mining Address Description: SSL Port Stratum

Awesome miner, works perfect! I have a question: what is the difference between ethash.cl, ethash-new.cl and ethash-genoil.cl? I've tried all of them but only ethash.cl works under Win10. Cheers!

Please, anyone got some info?

I think I have a bit of a problem with SGminer fan/hashrate reporting, can anyone help ?

I have a 6 card setup and I use Afterburner to set the votlage & OC settings.
The problem, if it is one, is trying to identify which card is which in SGminer.

I tried by increasing the fan speed in AB and seeing which GPU fan in SGminer increased thus identifying the GPU associated with AB, but I don't think this worked as when I increased the memory clock (of the GPU I just increased the fan speed of) a different GPU hashrate increased !
Am I just imagining it or is the reported fan speeds and hashrates of the GUPs sort of mixed up ?

[pehoko]

Card identities are not equal in windows, sgminer and AB. Why not to try overclock cards with sgminer config file?

Hey guys, I have been trying to decipher this thread to get some cards running without much luck.

I am trying to get some old cards running with sgminer. The standard ubuntu 16.04 sgminer 5.5.5 tutorial works for my 7790s but nothing else (I believe opencl 2.0 is to blame since all other cards are opencl 1.2). I am looking for a way to get the rest running. I am trying xubuntu 14.04.4 (found out 14.04.5 does not work with old drivers) right now. I also am trying windows 7 with 15.12 drivers. I get a strange error about not setting the GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS is not specified. Also error -11.

I am just trying to get the radeon hd 7000 cards running now...then I will work on the 6000 and 5000.

If anyone knows of any tutorials for correct installation of sgminer on windows 7 (or if you know if the win build document is still relevant after two years) I would appreciate the information.

Also drivers that work on ubuntu with sgminer and support 7000 series cards would also help as well. I appears 14.6 and 14.9 given in a few guides are no longer accessible.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out. I really appreciate it.

Hi,

i get my 7790 (six cards) running with windows 7 without no problems.
At the moment i'am using claymores miner, but i remember sg.5.5.5 was running on my rig too !

but you have to set or set_x

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

before in the bat or cmd file !

I've not used "set_x" so don't know what that will do.
This is how I have it setup and it works just fine mining the likes of Sumokoin, SmartCash, ZCash, Monero and Digibyte..to name but a phew !

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EDIT: This is for SGminer, put it in the .bat file.

[nowaltcoin]

Sorry,

its correct setx not set_x as i stated !

I've been having stability issues using Claymore CryptoNote so I wanted to try out SGMiner.

I'm trying to config sgminer 5.5.5 in Simplemining OS for my rigs.  It looks like it is using the commandline to pass in arguments. In SMOS the default is:

--no-submit-stale --kernel cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u [yourwallet].$rigName -p x --rawintensity 1000 -w 8 --text-only

I would like to change the rawintensity, worksize etc to be optimized for my miners. I have two different setups, either RX 570 4G or RX580 8G.

For the RX570 4G I'm trying to pass a --rawintensity 512 --worksize 4. For the RX580 8G, I'm trying to pass --rawintensity 1152 --worksize 8.

However, when I do this, I see no chanage in performance. Also, when it initializes, I don't see any values changing, just shows: Initialising kernel cryptonight.cl with nfactor 10, n 1024

Right now I'm only hashing at 480H/s on the 570 and 677H/s on the RX580. With Claymore I was getting 630H/s and 740H/s respectively.

I've also seen people change the gpu-threads to 2. Does this matter on the RX570 or RX580 cards? Should I be changing these values too?

Thanks.

USE A CONFIGURATION FILE--

A good configuration file is described a page or so back.  Your RawIntensity values are too high, and 4 is too many threads. There are examples posted by the code authors earlier in this thread.  Stick with 1 or 2 threads, 504 or 508 RI, or 1012 or 1016 RI with 1 thread.       --scryptr

Any Plans for this to get updated?

I really has remarkable speeds, it would be nice if GPU overclocking functions would work and the right data for each gpu would be displayed.
