Yes, but I'm using a .bat file to start my miner. Do I have to use .conf file to start it?
no you can start your miner with desktop shortcut of sgminer.exe with a string(like in a bat), i find it more easy imho, in the end they are the same thing..

Ok, but when I start my miner with .bat file and the -k x11mod I get the following error sgminer.exe: -k: Invalid parameter to set_kernel If I set -k darkcoin it works perfect!

Try fiddling with worksize, i.e reducing it.
Tried 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192. The best result was 2.74 MH/s at --worksize 64. i have same problem by my 290, it seems that improvement is not support for 290s cards best i can get is 2.9mhs

i can only get 1.8 with this miner, had 1.95 with the 2% one.

So I made some experiments on my rig and now I think I can be satisfied with the results. When I was running the modified SGMiner previously I was getting 2,6 Mh on 280x and 1,5 Mh on 290. Now I'm getting this: I did following: 1) Uninstalled completely AMD Catalyst driver 13.12 with Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode -> http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html2) Installed latest Catalyst 14.4 3) And this is my config for following cards 2xR280x (MSI Gaming) and 1xR290 (Sapphire reference): ------------------------------------------- del *.bin setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 sgminer --kernel x11mod -o stratum+tcp://useast.blackcoinpool.com:3333 -u UserName.1 -p x -I 15,15,15 -w 128,128,256 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192,24550 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1250 --gpu-engine 1090,1090,1000 --gpu-fan 60 --gpu-powertune 20 -g 2,2,2 ------------------------------------------- I hope this helps somebody. It would be really fine to optimize for R290, I would expect at least 3,5Mh. I am using this miner from that November guy -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/skv74wv378h5qnl/sgminerx11.rar

This is what I run now on 290 TRI Xs under PIMP, gives me about 3,4 MH. It crashes sometimes on startup, but once it runs its rather stable. There seems to be a limit of 10 threads in sgminer, wouldn't it sound legit to have 11 threads then?

Also what clocks do you have set on your 290 Tri-x? And finally which drivers please

I can confirm a yield increase - Can this be adapted for Quark and clones?
i'd definitely tip an encourage other to also.

Thanks I got it compiled for pimp and it works. But for some reason I have a slightly lower hashrate with my 280x cards compared to the 2% version. With the 2% version I can reach upto 3.3MH/s and with this version upto 3.1 MH/s. I tried tweaking lots of parameters but can't get it even close to 3.3 MH/s... It might have to do with the i15 setting compared to i19 on the 2% version?

good job, tested one 7950 2% ver 2,735 Mh -k darkcoin -g 1 --thread-concurrency 8192 --intensity 18 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 10
-X11mod 2,730 Mh -k x11mod -I 15 -w 256 --gpu-threads 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20
Tried these settings on my Sapphire 7950 and didn't work. So I'm running it 'as is' right now, with the provided config (changed pool ofcourse). I'm getting 2.3 - 2.4 Mh/s vs. 1.8 Mh/s normally What I do notice is that my card runs at 59 degrees now vs. 71 before. Does that mean I should be able to push it more?

1. Do not use intensity higher than 15. What are the upper limits on "X" and Raw?

I have a batch of cards which makes it only to 1025 though.

Where in sgminer are the value ranges for the arguments defined? Can't find it. I'd like to increase the max value for GPU threads.

This miner is so fake. I have the same hash as with regular miner, 2% miner gives me 40% more. Tried lots of diferent setings and it's all the same. Went back to 2% miner.
My bad. I was tired last night and i was using darkcoin kernel insted of x11mod. Miner is 100% working and the best thing is: no more coil whine Recomended!

actually doing more 50kh/s each card with this miner than the 2% one. totally reccomended! before was 3208 each card (toxic 280x).
