Can someone tell me what is the current performance of a R9 280X on X11 and X13 WITHOUT overclocking ?
I'm averaging at about 3.3 - 3.4 MH/s (X11) with latest sgminer on AMD's Omega Drivers @ Linux and think it might be a bit slow.
Thanks !

Hi, With the modded X11 kernel and modded Tahiti bin file, it is around 5.8mhs Overclocked is around 6.7mhs Previous post has the filedropper location of the leaked mod by LoveToShares. Replace the (delete) old sgminer kernel file and put the modded one in it's place, delete the old bin files and replace with modded bins for Tahiti GPU. Make sure your config file worksize is set to 64 It is as easy as that Omega drivers are rubbish for mining and you need amd-catalyst-14.7 RC1 up to RC3 http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/amd-catalyst-14-7-rc1-(14-200-1004-july-9)-download,1.htmlOr http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/amd-catalyst-14-7-rc3-(14-200-1004-august-11)-download,1.htmlHope that helps The leaked Kernel and Bins were originally developed by Wolf0 (one of named SGminer developers), he does welcome donations in Darkcoin for those people who feel guilty about using his tech for free

I am NOT an SGMiner developer. Don't even joke like that - even if I was, I'd beg to not be associated with developing that thing.
Oh but you are, your kernel is included in the current release! If you like, I can replace it with my version..

Wolf0 you might as well be the sgminer developer Everybody wants you tech, whether it's for free or you have to buy it This why you are a "Hero Member" on this forum And, yes, some of your old kernels are in the officially bundled version of the obsolete "official" SGminer release Naturally, everyone thinks you are one of the SGminer developers That's nothing, one of the people who coded the obsolete neoscrypt kernel put this into the coding "F*ck you, AMD". Yelp, all the miners with AMD cards seem to really dislike them at moment, Nvidia can expect bumpers sales in 2016 when all the AMD cards die So funny, that bit in the coding

MIXED DRIVER VERSIONS--
I have read various posts about putting the driver files "in the miner directory". How does a person do this?
Here is my situation. I have a uATX mother board with on-board graphics. The video chip will run with AMD drivers 13.x, but no later. The MB BIOS can be set to use additional video cards. What I want to do is install Ubuntu on the rig, use AMD 13.x drivers, and run the monitor with the installed AMD 13.x drivers. I then want to put AMD 14.6 drivers "in the mining directory", and compile and mine with the additional video cards.
How to do this? Any help? --scryptr

So I can currently only get 7.8 MH/s x11 speed out of a Sapphire tri-oc R9 290x, using wolf0's bin. Stock clocks (1025 gpu, 1500 mem).
Is this normal? How are people getting close to 10 MH/s out of an R9 290x? My card won't overclock too far beyond the stock settings, but it doesn't seem to make a massive difference regardless.

Using an xIntensity of "128" made a big difference for me. --scryptr

X11 mod scales perfectly with overclocking e.g. my card overclocked to 1020mhz is doing 8.09mhs Not overclocked 7.6mhs. Need to be using the 14.7 RC1 or RC3 drivers, Omega drivers onward deliver 10% lower hash power. Secondly, a clean installation of windows 7 usually fixes decay rates of lower performance on old installations of OS

Hello everyone, I've been away from this for quite some time (last time I was up to date was when X13 support was just added). So, please forgive me if the answer is somewhere hidden in the 100+ pages of this forum. I tried doing a search, but that task has become a whole project in itself. Can someone please explain or point me to the proper direction for the answer. I have compiled (for Ubuntu 14.04) sgminer v5 from the git source. Everything is working fine, except...where the heck is the Lyra2RE kernel? Is it something I'm supposed to enable at compile time? Am I suppose to pull it from another sgminer? Please advise. Thanks!

Odd I thought lyra2re had been added to the official version but I guess not.... My branch is up to date and has lyra2re added. Source and binaries are in my sig.

I'm compiling for Nicehash automatic multi-algo switching. Their "instructions" still points to https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop. I remember they used to say that only the "development" version supports the automatic switching, but that was a while back. Yet, they still refer to the development git source. Is https://github.com/badman74/sgminer now current with the automatic switching support for Nicehash?

Also yes my version will work as well.

Very interesting. I get about 2% gain on 7950 and need to use (mod % 2) with the case statements adjusted accordingly. My 280X gains almost 6% as is, but the gain difference between (mod % 2) and (mod % 4) is pretty small, like 1-2 KHs
My SMix call is a bit different, I simply put the sub-calls inline so it doesn't bother with ScratchpadStore and ScratchpadMix. Perhaps this fits nicer into the core and needs less swapping.
I have tried, unsuccessfully, to further streamline the SMix, but any other way I do it, its either all HW errors or vastly slower. Any guidance here would be appreciated.
How do you adjust the case 2 accordingly?

How do you adjust the case 2 accordingly? (number % power_of_two) should be a shooting offense when coding for a brain dead compiler. Do you mind telling us how to do it?

I kinda feel the same way, but I'll be a little gentler. BitmoreCoin, you may want to look up bitwise operators and things like that - an AND operation is far, far faster than modulus (modulus and division are ouch slow, as a general rule). I think he means how to adjust the statements inside the case 0 and case 1.
