[ANN][X11/X13] X11 (Darkcoin)/X13 (Marucoin) miner (based on sph-sgminer)

[oktay50000]

Can someone give a setting for R9 290 Tri-x non-x mining X13mod ??

I'm using this settings  for now and they give me 2.88- 2.90 Mhs :

"xintensity" : "512",
"worksize" : "128",
"thread-concurrency" : "20481",
"gpu-threads" : "4",

Does anyone has something better

290nonX @970/1300 ref. ---->2.9mhs   -g 2

290nonX @970/1300 ref. ---->3.05mhs   -g 4

-g 4 instead of -g 2 gives about +4-5% hash speed

g4 increases rejects by 4 5%

After a week of messing around with this and in essence losing out on a weeks worth of mining, I officially give up. I've gone about an hour and a half with freezing, max.

Back to a more stable version of sgminer.

Can someone help me out how to put the batch file look ad a config?

I'm using SGMiner I have this e.g.:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
timeout /t 4
sgminer.exe -c myconfig.conf

But now i'm going to use sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2

Thanks

The big X13mod, works on Radeons 5xxx-6xxx. Its obvious that this is using "hacked" x11mod from Girino's exe (with opencl file >270KB)
example cmd line for 5850

Code:

sgminer -k x13mod -o stratum+tcp://boost.suprnova.cc:3311  --auto-fan -w 256 -g 1 -I 18 --thread-concurrency 7200 --lookup-gap 2 

Works with Cat 13.12, works with 14.4 too. tested on 5850, 6970 and 5750
x13mod.cl - 281KB
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88276654/x13mod.7z

Sorry but can't remember how I found it, was posted somewhere in a forum - with complete sgminer build, made 28-05 early in the morning

PS: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88276654/sgminerx11.zip thats the file I downloaded, the x13mod kernel inside is NOT compatible with later sgminer builds, so ...

you can put the full version

2nd link is the full version.

u can make a config file when the miner is running
press S,W , name of config, enter

what is the hashrate for 270x and 290 non x on x13mod?

don't know about 270x but for 290 s around 3MH/s

how do u get 3 mh/s? I only get 2.2.

What will be the WU rate for a 290 card with x 11 algo?

[policymaker]

Hello, I ve been having probs with x11mod on a 5850. I mine at 400kh/s instead of 1mh im used to with -k darkcoin, and on top of that, it looks like -I doenst work. I set it at 14 but it auto sets itself at 18 when daemon running. I tried changing to 14 inside the daemon, and it did change, but didnt help my kh/s . Until I find whether Im doing something wrong, x11mod doesnt work for me!

Can any1 give me an example of a .bat for x11mod? Do we still need to use the lines like "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100" before -k?

For a 5850, do I have to use lookup gap and gpu threads lines? Ty!

i don't have a 290, but you should try -g 1 -I 20, should work

[thefrog]

what is the hashrate for 270x and 290 non x on x13mod?

don't know about 270x but for 290 s around 3MH/s

280x is 2.6

My 5770 started with settings
"kernel" : "x13mod",
"intensity" : "11",
"shaders": "800",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"worksize": "128"
~250-300 kh/s. I didn't try to achieve better performance,  that wasn't my target.

After close to a week of tweaking, I've found some pretty decent settings for my Sapphire 290 tri-x's. The first versions of these miners could not run my cards at their normal oc of 1080/1500, but the latest version seems to work (combined with a little voltage bump). I've had my best luck using --Rawintensity, as it's allowed me to bridge the gap between Intensity 20-21 while staying short of the point where the cards go sick. The other card in the rig is a Gigabyte 7850 that I still haven't really tweaked the intensity completely for, but it's running at 1110/1300 1233mv I believe.

Check this guide for configuring your miners, and working on your OC/DC:

As well as this one that has some good info for Rawintensity :

Some Useful Tips for X11

• TC doesn't seem to to matter, so save your self some time and leave it alone . . . for now
• Make sure to try all worksizes, my 7850 performs best with worksize 64
• When working with raw intensity calculate your values based off of (Shaders*n=Rawintensity) Where n= a whole number, once a good value is found you can tweak it from there.
• My 290's give a higher top speed with more threads (right up to 4.2mh/s with 6 threads) but speed variance and reject rates increase as well. Using a single thread has given me my most stable speeds.

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
##export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=50
del *.bin
timeout /t 4
sgminer.exe -k x11mod --rawintensity 1306624,1306624,1306624,33280 -g 1,1,1,2 --shaders 2048,2048,2048,1280 -w 256,256,256,64 --thread-concurrency 24577,24577,24577,10241 --no-submit-stale -c sgminer.conf

I hope this helps some of you 290 owners, they can be a bit  . . . odd.

Thanks to Lasybear and Remember remember the 5th of November, I've been following this since the Girino release and now that I've found some stable settings I'm happy to send you guys a donation. It's not a lot but it's the least I could do. I'm looking forward to seeing what this new version of sgminer can bring to the table with all these additions being brought in to one source.

Remember folks, if the miners works for you please donate to these guys to say thank you for their work.

[Edit: shaders should be 2560 for the 290, Doh!]

Hi guys, thanks for your work. It took a while to read all the posts, but I learnt a lot. I have just broke the 4MH - X11 barrier for R9 290 (ASUS R9 290-DC2OC).

Here are the settings for those interested:

"no-restart" : true,
"failover-only" : true,
"failover-switch-delay" : "60",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,R:0/0",
"intensity" : "19",
"worksize" : "128,128",
"kernel" : "x11mod,x11mod",
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "81",
"temp-overheat" : "76",
"temp-target" : "71",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"expiry" : "1",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"shaders" : "2560",
"thread-concurrency" : "25600",
"gpu-threads" : "5",
"lookup-gap" : "2"

I have 2 cards, both running at 1050/1500MHz set with Afterburner (power limit +50). I had to take out the engine and memory settings from the config file as the memory frequency was jumping around between 150 and max setting. Very stressful on the system. Now everything is smooth. I kept only the temp control as I like the strategy.

GPU threads have been increased as to flood the memory as much as possible with mining work (5 seems to be the max limit for my system). That was a tip on the forum as well, thanks the author. Cards memory is now loaded on >80% and my RAM as well.

The miner is Elun's b2 version from the OP, drivers 14.3beta, Win 8.1.

Out of my 2 cards one is water cooled and I guess it can go higher. I'll upgrade the wc sytem in a couple of weeks (have to raise more coins and then go for 5MH/card. I hope I can get there.

When I started reading this post, 2 weeks ago, I had 2.5MH/card, then raised it to 3.6 by following you advises and now 4-4.1. First jump had no impact on energy consumption. Now, I estimate a less than 5% increase, which, for me, is acceptable.

Thanks again guys for your work.

My card memory speed keeps jumping around as well, but I do not have any gpu settings in my .conf file. I'll have to give those drivers a shot I guess.

Hello.

Im in need of some advice. I can't get my 6 270 stable using the latest x11mod & x13mod + increased time to SICK state sgminer.
It runs for 10 -15 min and locks up my rig. needs a hard reset to get it back online. heres my config. any help would be awesome.

is this setting correct? 290nonx and 270x

[Amph]

i don't think you need to specify the same settings everytime, if you use only one type of gpu
