DiabloMiner GPU Miner

[DiabloD3]

Thanks again DiabloD3 that -na solved everything.  I can get about 2Ghah/s now. 

Not on a 6750m you don't. Thats closer to 75-100 mhash.

For 35 of them.  It actually gets about 65mhash/s each with only stock settings from apple.

For 35? 2 ghash is in the right ballpark =P

BTW, I've been told by someone -v 2 -w 64 -na is the most optimum for OSX on that kind of hardware.

Just a question. Can you run Daiblo on the Butterfly Labs "single"?

Sure, when FPGAs can build OpenCL kernels.

[Joshwaa]

I'll take that as a No...

Nope, and the whole FPGA mining experience is still rather iffy. Not sure if I want to support that yet.

[Joshwaa]

Yea I am on the fence. I would like to buy a couple but just not sure.

Fudge.  I accidentally upgrade to what appears to be 12.3, and I lost 25 MH/s

Using absolute newest DiabloMiner? What hardware and what arguments?

Hmmm, I guess I didn't verify to see if I had downloaded the newest build (I know it's fairly new, but I guess I don't know if it's the newest) 

I believe I'm using -v 1 -w 256  (on a 7970)

Incidentally, is it possible to pass out different arguments to different cards on the same machine?    In case I find a cheap card to throw in addition to my existing.

Not yet. You need to run multiple DMs at that point and use -D to select them (like, one 7970 and two 58xx? -D 1 on the first one, -D 2,3 on the second one).

Those seem to be the correct arguments, so just make sure you're on the newest build. The loss of 25 mhash seems odd.

I need use -na on command line. Without -na i having 35 Mhash/S !!!!! using latest diablominer on 12.2pre with 7970 !!! LOL !

Adding -na to -v 1 -w 256 now gives me normal 677Mhash/S

Uh, yes. You need -na on before 12.2 due to a bug in the driver. You don't need it unless you suffer from the bug because it makes it slower.

So, people have been asking about where all those donations for a 7970 went, and when was I going to get my 7970.

Good news: HOLY GODDAMNED SHIT IS THAT FAST
Bad news: I think I'm going to play Portal 2 again. And Half Life 2. And a few other things. I'll be back in a few years, I promise.

About time...

OpenCL 1.2 is out too. Running it now, same speed as before it seems like.

You do realize all that is is an API specification, right? 2.6 was shipping with very beta 1.2 support. 12.2 ships with something slightly newer than 2.6. Do not install an SDK on top of 12.2 for optimum performance.

12.2 is about the worst driver amd has a released in a while. Running the 8.96 driver that comes in that package (12.4). Works pretty well.

Yeah but Linux doesn't have anything newer yet. Although, I gotta admit, I like how my 2.6-ized kernel is performing. 555 mhash at 925mhz. The troublesome part is, I'm going to have to look for new ways of optimizing this, I've tried a bunch of different things that greatly effected performance (both positively and negatively) on the old compilers for vliw5 and vliw4 and it is doing absolutely nothing on the GCN compiler (which is great, mind you, it means the GCN compiler is actually working right).

I am going to be disappointed if all I get is 555 at 925. I wanted over 600.
