SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.9.3 - native algo switching

[abg00]

so what is the conclusion at the end?
1.6.8 hashing better on rx550 and rx560 cards ?

also where did you get intensity 30 from?
You are really confusing me here i don;t know even what algo are we talking about now.

550 4g should be ok on V7 with : 27/12/2
560 4g should be ok on V7 with : 27/8/2

550 4g should be ok on V8 with : 28/16/2
560 4g should be ok on V8 with : 29/32/2

true.
but have trouble on cn-heavy with rx470\480\570\580 8gb card. plz check my config

Yes something not ok, try setting by hand for example 120/16 2 threads

I really hurried to push the v8 version, so of course bugs are to be expected, and we still have time to fix them until the fork

Great work doc, so thats a 4.25% drop from v7 !! not bad considering devs said 7% drop

That's my man, i really love it when someone takes time and tries himself something
So it looks like the binary kernel is faulty ? I will check that out.

Thank you for your efforts

edit:
And YES, the binary IS faulty. Great that i pushed the 1.6.8 version 10 days before the fork so we can smooth these kind of things out

nice test. try Worksize 8
my vega64LE have better HR with 8 worksize

nice test. try Worksize 8

V8 is not good with worksize 8 on any card.

V.1.6.8 is again up on Mega! Sorry for any inconvenience!

[abg00]

i think i found something about the 570/580 8g cards and heavy algos. Going to check out a few more things then re-upload 1.6.8 with the fixes.

check new version/ same trouble ((
also check without precompile binaries. same low rate 900-930 not 1000+ as on 1.6.7
possible need other drivers? use 18.3.4

[tvukoman]

V.1.6.8 is again up on Mega! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Downloaded again and tested Maxi version with driver 18.3.4 and 2 Vega 56 Reference card, one Vega 64 Asus Strix and one Rx 570 GB.

Vega problem is still here. Low performance about 4100 H/s for cards (on V7 is 7070 H/s with same settings).

what if you forget all that strange config and comment out the gpu_conf part?

I don't understand you Doctor? That GPU_conf part is rock solid in V7 algorithm for 7 days with 7070 H/s.
Same settings in SrbMiner and overdrive settings in V8 results with 4100 H/s in benchmark mode.
Do you need some more specific test, i can test it?

And for commenting gpu_conf:
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 1}, - Vega 56 Reference 1
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 1}, - Vega 56 Reference 1

   { "id" : 2, "intensity" : 120, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1}, - Vega 64 Asus Strix 1 - better work with worksize 8, at least in V7

yes , rock solid in v7, but the settings for v8 are not same as for v7. V8 for example is good with worksize 16 and 32, and bad with 8. Why do you guys think the same settings need to be, when this is a different algo?

vega 56 120/16/2 , vega 64 124/16/2 is optimal

[doktor83]

i think i found something about the 570/580 8g cards and heavy algos. Going to check out a few more things then re-upload 1.6.8 with the fixes.

check new version/ same trouble ((
also check without precompile binaries. same low rate 900-930 not 1000+ as on 1.6.7
possible need other drivers? use 18.3.4

Driver should be fine, but you could try 18.6.1.

I have a mixed rig 570/580 8G and this is the result now, everything left on auto (intensity 0)

[KGligorov]

When i try to use %DATE-TIME% for logging, It does not create a text file at all?
Any solution?

%time% results a ":" symbol forbiden in filenames. I'm using --logfile logs\%date%-%random%.log
or use more complex construction from above

Thank you !

reinstall drivers to 18.6.1 same trouble with rate ((
possible trouble because 12 card on rig?
all 12 gpu rx570 8 gb no different
swap 98 gb
but 1.6.7 1000+ rate

[RuMiner]

1.6.8 gave additional 6-8 hashes per Vega using same settings on normalv7. nice

[glowbg]

I'm using RX580 8G and version 1.6.8 is working slower with a total of 400H/s versus version 1.6.7 of heavy 
i use auto (intensity 0)

[dragonmike]

What intensity/worksize/threads combo are you recommending on RX 570's 4GB for the new v8?

[livada]

Hey Doc, thc for update !!

Using Binary kernals on Vega 64:
v7 : HR up from 2130 to 2145
v8 : HR is 580
Is that normal, only 580 H/s? Cause i think the devs said approx 7% drop so was expecting at least 1950 h/s

I got the same HR result for v8 on both benchmark mode and mining on the test pools:

"pool": "killallasics.moneroworld.com:7777",
"difficulty": 10000,

{
            "device": "GPU0",
            "device_id": 0,
            "model": "Radeon RX Vega",
            "bus_id": 19,
            "kernel_id": 1,
            "hashrate": 593,
            "core_clock": 1630,
            "memory_clock": 1100,
            "temperature": 54,
            "fan_speed_rpm": 4576
},

GPU was on dual thread and auto worksize, auto intensity

how you solved this?

Yes something not ok, try setting by hand for example 120/16 2 threads

I really hurried to push the v8 version, so of course bugs are to be expected, and we still have time to fix them until the fork

i use your int work but HR only 1100 in v8
