When I started JCE-GPU, my competitors where SRB and Claymore. The JCE fees were aligned with SRB (0.9%) on purpose.
Now the game has changed, Claymore is obsolete and the lead in performances is TeamRed. I'm getting on-par with him on v8, but i still lacked a decent implementation for Heavy-class to completely outperform SRB, leave it behind and have only one real competitor. I'm like Stalin, i avoid having two opponents at the same time.

JCE GPU 0.33b5 with +20% performance on Heavy/Haven/Tube

Tested on both HD7000 and RX cards, with perfs in the range +15% to +25%
My HD7950 jumped from 335 to 415, my RX560 from 340 to 400

The bad news is that the fees are now aligned with TeamRed, at 2.1% (still a bit below their 2.5%) but only on Heavy-class algos, where the extra perf deserve them. On CN and CN-light, that's still 0.9%. If mixed with CPU, it's a weighted average, as before.

0.33b5 GPU

Huge performance boost for Heavy/HVX/Tube
Respective fees increased to 2.1%
Very light perf boost for CN-v8

I just want to give some feedback with new version 0.33b5 :

1. Performance definitely awesome.
2. Fee 2.1% I don't really mind about that.
3. RX 580 8 GB Most of card didn't reach peak hash rate and very difficult to reach peak hash rate.
4. RX Vega instantly reach peak hash rate without warm up.

So over all RX Vega will use 0.33b5 and RX 580 8 GB still use 0.33b4 because in 0.33b4 most of card reach peak hash rate easily.

hope you can improve warm up on 0.33b5 like in 0.33b4.

Similar behavior.
Not all cards reach max hashrate.

Tests on polaris at 1250 core, 2000-2000 memory
Tests on Vegas 1410 core, 950-1100 memory

I did get a boost from
8gb polaris cards 1150-1180 to 1240-1260 H/s (~7%)
4gb polaris cards got a boost from 800 to 840 H/s (~5-6%)

Reference Vega 56 modded got 1750 up from 1500 H/s (~17%)
Vega 56 Pulse (Hynix) 1600 up from ~1400 before H/s (~18.5%)

@JCE-Miner great work on cn-heavy.

[hamesh]

Anyone?
How much you get with 280x?

I have 3 R9 280x running 1180/1500 +20 powertune and get 390h/s on two and 440h/s on the other on CN Heavy.  JCE 33b5 didn't increase by much - maybe 5%.  But wow my RX cards are nearly 30% faster than 33b.  And JCE was already the fasted CN miner by far.  Some are pretty close in miner-reported hashrate, but at the pool JCE is 10-20% better than all others.  I'm using BETA blockchain drivers.  Still the fasted for me.

@JCE-Miner great work on cn-heavy.

What your polaris 8Gb card memory? What miner settings you're use to reach 1250 H/s?

[JCE-Miner]

oh i tried without --archi but it´s the same error, i don´t know what´s happening the miner is using multi hash but only x2 and even with x2 there´s 16mb l3 cache left for the 20 threads and 8mb for the 24 threads i want to try x3 but the -c parameter always gives this error.

Please edit the start.sh and check there's no more --auto Inside. If yes, remove it.

JCE, you should edit the topic name to contain miner version, and also big news like this, to attract more people

Good idea, i'll put some hashrate numbers, like Cast and TeamRed did

I read the last few pages and couldn't find any info but anyone here manage to run the Tahiti or the Hawaii GPUs with this miner?
The Tahiti being the 7950 7970 280X and Hawaii being 290 390 295

My prefered config for Tahiti for v7/v8:

Code:

"gpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : ... , "multi_hash":464 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : ... , "multi_hash":464 },
]

and for Heavy (which i tested very little)

Code:

"gpu_threads_conf" : 
[ 
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : ... , "multi_hash":336 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : ... , "multi_hash":336 },
]

JCE, great work! see, you can do anything, just need some motivation!

Thanks, you treator who switched to TR day one!
Just a joke, and i lacked conviction rather than motivation. Conviction i wasn't already at hardware max, and yes, that's what TR provided. Again, the simultaneous releases are not coincidential, and this time i release first!

I need to update some doc, and notably to state for the new CN-Heavy speed and fees. The old doc still says that's 0.9%

[Pennywis3]

Testing JCE 33b5 on RX580 8GB cards (x8) with heavy using win 10 x64 with Adrenalin 18.6.1.

Similar findings as above, big issue with warm-up, only a few cards will hash at full speed, others just don't want to wake up  
The speed seems better by about 5-10%, although the miner behaves the same as if you would set too much intensity, when you only get a few cards hashing at full speed.

[UnclWish]

To stabilize speed on 580 8G try to set beta to 16.

Hi JCE-Miner!

I'm following your project from very begging because of your excellent CPU implementation and i can say only great work!

I also have few mining rigs but only one is using windows to power my 4 Vega 56 and it will be just great to see Linux version of miner implemented to SimpleOS.

For the fees don't fell bad abut them I`m more than happy to pay a % for software that i actually use I even have proposal to change fee behavior when using GPU miner in way that all CPU work will go as dev fee... it will not be much probably as my CPU on Vega rig is doing like ~40Hs on new XMR algo and fee % from one GPU is like 10 times more but still i want simple config for my GPU miner that will allocate my CPU to your account so give me configuration with proper wallet and i will switch this today when i go to update miner. Same idea for LINUX version of GPU for default all CPU hash power should be by default a donation it is not much for us miners but it can be a motivation for you for further development.

Best Regards

Hello everyone.

I am new here. Been using a couple of miners. Now i am testing JCE miner.
So far so good. Easy to get going. For now using default settings.

Testnig on 2 miners, Crypto-Lite algo, with some Pitcairn and Baffin cards.

I am wondering why am I getting so many "stale" shares?

[muleman8]

I am giving this a go on a rig with two 7950's but I get CL_UNKNOWN_ERROR -1001

Windows 7

Any ideas please?

GPU miner works only on Windows 8.1+

Strange situation with 1 of my 580 8G cards... After 7-10 minutes speed became max. After another 5-10 minutes speed drops about 20% and didn't rise after that...

JCE GPU 0.33b5 with +20% performance on Heavy/Haven/Tube

...at the cost of how much increase in power draw?

[muleman8]

I cant get any increase above what I get with xmrig

power consumption is similar to other heavy implementations; should be lower than what cnv7 used to draw.

After testing for 1.5hrs on my 6x Vega56@64 rig I can see 15% hashrate increase for 6% more power (using automatic settings). Not bad, actually. Will have to see if I can tweak when I get some time tomorrow.

[MadSilence]

NICE work JCE! Testing out now. But I have one question. Does this miner have a major important feature like. TEMPERATURE CONTROL? I mean if the temps are too high can you make it stop that card which overheats? Not necasarily control fans. But at the very least stop temp.  ?=)

[MadSilence]

OH I saw on your to do list the temp controls was done! I can see the temps! But i can't find it in the docs anywhere to set a stop temp. if they exceed lets say 88deg :O

[Lermite]

I have a weird issue with the 0.33b5 on the CN V8 (XMR).
Both my two RX 570 start running at ~1005 h/s, which is nice.
But after a random time, from 2 minutes to several hours, one of the cards (randomly again) has his hashrate suddenly dropping to ~960 h/s and it stays at this value until the miner is restarted.

If my settings were wrong, such with a too high multi-hash, the hashrate would drop always after the same duration, pretty soon after the miner is started, and not randomly as it happens to both my cards.

[JCE-Miner]

I'm aware the new versions have problems with hashrate stability, i need to tune this.

a watchdog based on temperature? why didn't i thought of it earlier? great idea, will be in next version, or the one after.

no more support for now sorry, running out of time.
