@nitrocs
Well when we find a block the reward will be nice only 2 miners to divvy it up

We have X13 configs for 280x and 7950 -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=666252.msg7590653#msg7590653

Don't get too comfortable, I'm there too with my 750Ti's

Nice might find a block soon hashrate up

[utahjohn]

@PW
I'm seeing "untracked stratum share"  and "Accepted untracked stratum share" fairly regularly on X13.
Additionally the hashrate graph is showing an average 2.0Mhs quite a bit lower than I'm getting on my end 2.6Mhs.  I'm guessing those Accepted untracked stratum shares are being ignored at stratum end and that's why my rates shown on waffle are low.

Just noticed the HW errors ... backing clock down a bit.

GPU 0 is off because I'm mining Maiacoin X15 with it in another instance of sgminer.

Still getting untracked stratum share after restart with lower clock and HW 0

Notice the missing S in settings LOL it always turns on strikeout grrrrrrr

WooHoo! first block on X13 beta testing

[madian]

+10.5 MHs added to x13, wouldn't want you guys to be lonely

3.45 MHs / 290 card, roughly 4x scrypt. Anyone else can confirm these numbers for their cards so that I know if my config is efficient?

[vm_mpn]

So it looks like difficulty automatically resets to 0.010 on X13 instead of taking hardcoded password (0.16) ... Is this by design while it's still in Beta?

[utahjohn]

X13 payout seems to be working I have some in X13 earned balance now

pw fixed issue already
"pass" : "d=0.008"
works for me in pools section of config

Hmm... Thanks John. Will give it a go.

Dont put that comma in lol.
Basically use the same difficulty as you would for X11.  There's a table in the FAQ page.

No dice 4me... Neither 0.08 nor 0.16 works... Pools automatically switch to difficulty 0.010 for some reason.

[utahjohn]

Just posted a optimized x13mod bin file for 7950 (and possibly 280x,290x and other 6xxx,7xxx)
compiled with sgminer 4.1.0 cat 14.6RC2 for those not wanting to upgrade to 14.6 RC2 at

Please post in my thread if this works for you

Got 84 290s pointed at the x13 port, let's see what we get.

This is the same as all the other algorithms.  Our default is 0.01, and it will switch to whatever you passed for password on the first work change (coin switch or new block), typically about 30 seconds.

Baah... trying your bin for X13 and only getting around 2280KH or so at a total of 9.12MH for my 4x 7950's.  Same rig gets over 14MH on X11 with another modified bin.

Not to butt in, but isn't that more or less normal?  I was expecting to see about 30% less hashrate on x13 vs. x11.

Maybe the numbers people were quoting on the linked thread skewed the perspective a bit... some people were getting 2600-2800 with 7950s and that bin file.

I'm seeing just under 2.7 Mh/s per 7950, my config & setup is posted over there. You probably have a little headroom somewhere.

You are comparing apples to oranges LOL.  X11 and X13 are different algo.  X13 is a bit slower than X11.
You have not posted what your configs are, what sgminer version, what catalyst version.
This makes it hard to take any credence from your post.  Many successes with the bin and postings in the testing thread.

No, I understand X13 would get less than X11.  My point being that others are reporting between 2600-2800KHs with your bin and their 7950's and I'm hovering around 2260-2300KHs, so was just looking for some tips/advise.  Used most of my settings from my X11 setup, but tweaked a bit here and there to eek out a bit more.

My 4x 7950's are MSI TF IIIs.
Using PiMP 1.5.5-amd-13.12 (the 13.12 AMD drivers may be the problem here, but I thought the Linux 14.x series drivers weren't good for old cards like the 7950's)
SGMiner 4.1.0, X13mod and your bin

I tried 4 GPU threads, alternative Shaders settings (though I thought with TC you don't need shaders), different Engine and Memory settings...but so far they all had a negative effect versus what I have above (HW Errors, GPU's going SICK, or just plain lower hashrate).

And to bring this back to relevency for this thread.. yes, I'm trying out the X13 beta on Wafflepool.
