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

[doktor83]

V1.6.3
- More speed on Vega56 cards on every algo (probably on Vega64 and VegaFE too, i don't have them to test)
- Added parameter --enableduplicategpuid (used in start.bat), that enables to use the same gpu id in gpu_conf multiple times
- Removed useless kernels 3 and 4
- Removed useless CPU opencl support

+ Vega cards should get even more speed than in previous version (try with adrenaline 18.3.4 or adrenaline 18.6.1)

+ Added parameter --enableduplicategpuid (in .bat) which basically allows you to do something like this :

"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120.5, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
]

So instead of using the same settings for every thread on same GPU, you can define different intensity for example for one thread.
This way maybe you can squeeze out a little more hash from your GPU.

On initialisation this is displayed as DIFFERENT GPU'S, but on hashrate display threads of same gpu are merged, so a per gpu hashrate is still displayed, not a per thread speed.

+ Removed a few useless things like kernels 3&4, and CPU OpenCL support, nobody used these but they just took me more time when implementing something new

What about cn-v7 algo on RX 5xx cards? You wanted to return speed from 1.6.0. On 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 cn-v7 algo on RX 580 is slower...

Allready trying... Please say in 1.6.3 on cn-v7 to got max speed need to wait some time? Or max speed is after start?

Dok, thanks for providing an awesome miner.

1. Can you please share you power play table file which you are using with 18.6.1 drivers + Overdrivetool settings for crytonightV7 algo


2. What are your settings for heavy algo in overdrivetool, have you tested yet ?

Thanks

[doktor83]

Allready trying... Please say in 1.6.3 on cn-v7 to got max speed need to wait some time? Or max speed is after start?

it should be in a few minutes max, on my hynix 580 8gb cards i get the same hash as on 1.6.0.
Also on 470 8gb.
Don't have samsung 580 8g to try.

1. powerplay table : https://files.fm/u/s68u78zx
Overdrivent: GPU 1450/925mV , MEM 950/910mV

Im not looking to get the max hash from the card, just set a value that is stable and works for my miner development.

2. Same settings, as im only using it for testing the miner

what i noticed is when connected with AnyDesk or TeamV the hashrate can't get to the max.
What i do is restart vega driver, start miner, disconnect from anydesk, connect back in 10 minutes to check hashrate and voila, it's good

Straps for ETH, 1150/2050 , 100w from the wall ~ 950hs on v7
56/8/2

yes it can be pushed way over 1000hs but im not looking for that, only using it for testing the miner.

[duyquang06]

Doc, tks for 1.6.3

I still stick with Aug23. I will test and report the result. Hope it got buff hashrate too!!!

With 1.6.3 the same situation as with 1.6.2... On cn-v7 RX 580 8Gb max speed is 1000 h/s on intensity 108, but not every launch. Miner needs to several starts to get this speed. Waiting up to 5 minutes not helps. Mostly speed is 985 h/s. On 1.6.0 speed is up to 1035-1040 h/s with intensity 116-117.

[zeef]

my result vega64 1550/920, 1100/920 heavy algo.
Is it possible to make more than 1700hs?

Driver?

what motherboard you use for connecting all the vegas?

Vega56 REF AUG23 driver
1.6.2 5648h/s
1.6.3 52xxh/s

Sad. IDK why my rigs can't stable on new driver. Anyone vega here? which driver u using?

Waiting up to 5 minutes not helps. Mostly speed is 985 h/s. On 1.6.0 speed is up to 1035-1040 h/s with intensity 116-117.

On v7 all of my cards , 470, 480, 570, 580 4gb or 8gb they all get the same speed on every launch, this is how it was in earlier versions too, only heavy had this 'have to run multiple times' to get max speed thing.
I changed almost everything in this kernel like it was in 1.6.0 for Rx cards, also nothing that has impact on intensity setting has been changed since, i don't know last 10 versions, so if 116 was a good value in 1.6.0 it should be a good value now too, i don't understand how can't you set it to 116 as before.
I also used the fragment value you wrote earlier here as a default for 580 8gb, you said you get the best results with it.

For me it's interesting that on a few xfx 580 8gb i have, even not on the same rigs, i can use the same settings on v.1.6.2 as before , and get the same hashrate as before. But i havent changed or tried out new drivers or anything on these rigs, cause they are mining rigs, the most important is that they run always stable, so i stick to a driver that is proven to be good/stable.

Win 7 or Win10, doesn't matter, blockchain drivers installed from day 1.

So i basically just upload a new version of miner when testing to the rig, copy the old config files and run the miner.
This way using absolutely everything same i can know if something is better/worse.

Ouch. Im testing Vega on 18.3.4 version, it's really stable for me.

... try intensity 68, this is how i set for cn-v7 (samsung 580 8g 1300/2050)

[doktor83]

Great stuff!
I am getting 40H/s extra per Vega 56 with V1.6.3

That is what i measured too, increase on V7 about ~35HS.
But listen i just installed 18.6.1 and got even more HS! +30 LOL

So nice, this is a huge boost  

After testing 18.6.1 a little more, i can't get heavy algos hash at speed they used to on 18.3.4, the 'pre-heating' trick isn't working at all.
Is it just me or  ?
V7 hashrate is increased tho.

ya, i will try, thank doc

V1.6.3
- More speed on Vega56 cards on every algo (probably on Vega64 and VegaFE too, i don't have them to test)
- Added parameter --enableduplicategpuid (used in start.bat), that enables to use the same gpu id in gpu_conf multiple times
- Removed useless kernels 3 and 4
- Removed useless CPU opencl support

+ Vega cards should get even more speed than in previous version (tested with adrenaline 18.3.4)

+ Added parameter --enableduplicategpuid (in .bat) which basically allows you to do something like this :

"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 120.5, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
]

So instead of using the same settings for every thread on same GPU, you can define different intensity for example for one thread.
This way maybe you can squeeze out a little more hash from your GPU.

On initialisation this is displayed as DIFFERENT GPU'S, but on hashrate display threads of same gpu are merged, so a per gpu hashrate is still displayed, not a per thread speed.

+ Removed a few useless things like kernels 3&4, and CPU OpenCL support, nobody used these but they just took me more time when implementing something new

Hi doktor,

Nice job,

Testing version 1.6.3 with heavy and cryptov7 i got better hashes in vega (30hs more)

Using the bittube v2 algo i got a less hash , 900 hs.. instead of 15xx..

I tell about this problem some posts ago even in prevous version after a time the hash drop a lot , in bitube algo.

Can you check your kernel for this algo.

Im on 1709 windows version and using 18.6.1 amd drivers 

Thanks

Hi dok! Little trick for get hashrate on new drivers same as on blockchain drivers. Setup old blockchain beta drivers, clean up the cache folder, start SRBMiner, after compiling kernel file stop the miner. Setup new drivers like 18.5.1 or latest and start SRB. Hash rate will be same as on blockchain drivers and less power consumption.

I can't replicate this, as when using the 'pre-heating' trick on bittube algo i get a hashrate of ~1580hs and it stays like that for hours +- a few %.
Also no one else reported this here on the forum except you, but i have a few people i know they mine bittube and don't have this problem.
