Gateless Gate Sharp 1.3.8: 30Mh/s (Ethash) on RX 480!

[zawawa]

As I was having a problem with Windows 10 April 2018 Update, I found Adrenaline 18.5.1. Hope this would solve the problem...

[zawawa]

Oh, by the way, I enabled secure connections to NanoPool's  Monero servers for the GitHub version.
Seems to be working well so far...

[zawawa]

OK, Adrenaline 18.5.1 and Windows 10 April 2018 Update were no go for me.
They are just too buggy at this point.
I would recommend not to install either of them if you would like to run GGS.

forget about windows, linux did not have any of this "microsoft" problems

The new update 18xx by Microsoft is a big problem for miners, don't install it.

My Vega is stable with new setting, I have disable GGS setting for it and modify registry setting.
Good compromise to have 1850H/s and 110W for me with this card.
Anyway I modify setting for my RX580 with GGS as well.

Now I cannot see GGS setting, there is a setting for restart miner in case of hasrate go down?

Thank you and good work zawawa

im running latest update + drivers on  a vega rig, everything fine & stable like before. after installing 1803 update you need to disable Crossfire + add powerplaytables to registry again. thats it

Don't you think that it's not buggs in 18.4.1 and 18.5.1 drivers? Maybe AMD maded many changes in ADL? It's strange that both 18.4.1 and 18.5.1 have the same bugs... I think that all new drivers will be with the same bugs... Maybe it's need to change something in miners to normal work with new drivers?

No. If the miner crashes when it is just trying to initialize OpenCL devices or RX 560 is misidentified as RX 480, there is definitely something wrong with the driver.

It could be my Polaris 10, then. I wonder what AMD is doing when they are testing their drivers...

I ported excavator to Ubuntu at NiceHash, so I do know Linux has its own "Linux" problems. 
I will consider a Linux port once I am done with automatic algorithm-switching.

[zawawa]

I have disable GGS setting for it and modify registry setting.

Ah, that was the trick! Thank you so much!

[zawawa]

Let me see if GGS can automatically update the PowerPlay table...

Are you going to release something with the optimized kernels this weekend ? I have some spare time to test...

[UnclWish]

Just installed 18.5.1 drivers to look at them... GGS 1.3.7 didn't run at all. Gives neverending error at start... Claymore's both Cryptonote 11.3 and Dual 11.7 miners works mormal. All functions - hw monitoring, hw controls...

 ...and he's making 100 times as much money as I do.
You do understand development costs money, right?

Of course, I'm... But I'm talking about drivers... You said that it's buggy, but they're work with his miners despite miners was released some time ago... About 18.4.1 Claymore wrotes that they was bugged... about 18.5.1 nothing to say - they work...

I'll do my best. I have been quite successful with Vega this afternoon.

His miners and mine use different frameworks for development.
You just don't see the difference because you are not a developer.
I will get to this issue after the next version.

It would be very nice, I have been using your program for a long time, there is a vega56 Gigabyte, but I still did not understand these tables. Very much not stable this vega ...

That sounds intriguing. Anything groundbreaking to share?
