how  to solve error -46:creating extrakernel #0

[o00o]

I would also be very interested given I can barely surpass 6 M/H on my 290x using 14.6[RC2] w/ Worksize @ 128, Intensity @ 23 and Clocks @ 1150/1250. 

Downclock memory. Its not afected on hashrate.

I also noticed that memory clock has an insignificant impact on hashrate which must explain why I haven't benefited from any gain by reducing it.  I've also tried playing with Xintensity starting from 64 and working my way up to 9999 but wasn't able to surpass what I managed to achieve with Intensity @ 23.

Nevertheless, thanks for your advice!

[o00o]

Things were set right so:

sgminer.exe -k quarkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3345 -u 1JrCZpGJQVfXoY9aCKPXqsxBzU5ia5AeXf -p p=0.5 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8193 --intensity 18 --worksize 64 -g 4 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-reorder



According to you, is it normal speed and what I can do as optimization?
Extremely thank @unklo and @Eastwind for aid?

p.s. I picked up intensity 22 and increase the speed of 13.65 MH/s!
Thank @cinnamon_carter!

That is very fast. Did you download that sgminer from nicehash?

I would also be very interested given I can barely surpass 6 M/H on my 290x using 14.6[RC2] w/ Worksize @ 128, Intensity @ 23 and Clocks @ 1150/1250.  

 

6MH/s Quark? I was told stock did 5; nice.

I've reached 6.45 w/ aforementioned settings with clocks modified to 1230/1500 which is still nowhere close to the 18+ you've achieved which is very, very nice.

Would you be aware of any kernels/.bins/miners which can bring about better performance?  I'm currently on sgminer_v5.1_2015-03-09.

Are you using Stilt's bios on your 290x and if so, do they offer performance improvements for algorithms other then Scrypt?

[cinnamon_carter]

you guys are way ahead of me , on a 7970 (yes i know old card but the only one i have to experiment with)  i can get almost 4 mhs

no where near the speeds you all are getting,  on other algos i can get very competitive speeds, tried the driver changes suggested by wolf with possible minor speed boost,

i am not mining with big rigs,  honestly i wish i had one,

sorry to the guy i yelled at earlier in the thread but I think if you are lucky enough to own a serious mining rig, you should mine with it not worry about watching videos,


still I like to experiment and always have the best tweaks....

[bradli]

from where i can get the last quark and neoscrypt changes
Thanks

Anybody can send me the link to quark miner please?

Can anybody help me please. I am using sgminer 5.1.1 and I get this error. Tried with my Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X and also Sapphire 280x.

Anybody can help me please? I will have few of my mining rig mine for you as a donation depending on the speed increase I get as compare to the one provided by nicehash.

[Bananana]

Try --algorithm quarkcoin, stop using shaders, thread concurrency, and lookup gap.

Tried, still gave me the same error.

You get that when using a modded compiled .exe version of sgminer with an original .cl(kernel) file.

Use a working version, don't try to use something that doesn't work..

Worksize 1024? Try 256.....
Gpu memclock, also a very weird number.. Try 1250 or 1500
Also put gpu threads at 1 for a 290(x)..

All by all, 5Mh isn't bad at all..

If you use motherboard+chipset+CPU with integrated GPU, try all possible different value of "--gpu-platform" option.
These messages often occur when the system has more than one GPU on different platforms, and the value of the default options in miner are out of sync with the GPU-platform by default in the operating system.

[pallas]

Max worksize is 256. If you put a higher number, it still uses 256 (just look at the bin filename).

can i mine quark on pimp ?

[sp_]

Hey wolf0. Can you give me a hint on how your s-box works in your modded and optimized kernals ? You seem to know how to optimize the AES both backwords and forwards.

[bradli]

can i mine quark on pimp ?

Yes, of course.

but give me only reject and hw

[splootch]

what is a good config for 260x in the russian optimized sgminer and wich it the amd version that work well with it?

[z0n0]

Why is everybody goin nuts for quark/qubit lately? Some new super profitable coin I don't know?

It is the shark coin, or SAK.
