[ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner

[Abirdg]

Hi I just want to know does sgminer require any special or Scrypt parameter for mining in nice hash neo Scrypt pool ? Please help me ... I'm very much new in crypto mining...
Thanks in advance.

i hope  WOLF0  will make  a good pablic  algo for  decred coin  when  the mining will start.....





ps: wolf0 u must know that u r my favorite...U  prove yr work with facts &  not with many sauces.....THANKS FOR ALL!

I hope Wolf0 will prove me wrong, but I fear there is not a lot to optimise on blake 14 rounds.

I might be able to prove you half wrong. Got a 6970?

No, smallest card I have is a 280x

Too bad, I could probably make that thing do wonders on Blake. I've got an idea!

Maybe on Fiji as well?

Nope, Fiji is GCN based. No go.

Was just looking up the specs of a 6970 and i noticed that

Maybe a 5750 (juniper) will do? :-)

Got a 78** Series. Maybe that'll do?

Feel free to build and benchmark Decred's cgminer fork (( https://github.com/decred/cgminer )) . Could use some data on hardware performance. Testnet and miner binaries will be out tomorrow morning!


i hope that wolf0 can make something about this......

Hi guys,

I decided to upgrade my 7950's to 280x's but I'm having a mare with AMD drivers.

Also I can't remember the relationship between driver and SDK.

What driver and SDK should I install on Windows 8.1 ?

Many thanks

Lee

Newest version of both will work fine

So I used DDU in safe mode to uninstall old driver.
Then installed radeon-crimson-15.12-win8.1-64bit.exe
Then AMD SDK 3.0

I am getting the following error which looks like a SDK issue.

[2016-01-28 23:11:50] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[2016-01-28 23:11:50] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

GPU-Z shows the OpenCL driver is there adn I can see the card in device manager.

Any ideas ?

Got it working with :-

--gpu-platform 1

Anyone know why I need this now ?

Did anything ever happen with trying to add blake256? Decred is coming out and id like to use sgminer to mine instead of their forked cgminer because sgminer plays nicely with my gpu and i can monitor temp and control the fan.

You have onboard graphics...using this option makes sgminer use your gpu's instead of onboard

I always wanted to ask that - why do you even need SDK?
I don't have it installed and mining just fine.

Which AMD driver is recommended for mining ETH with 280X cards

Any of the recent drivers, from 14.6 to 15.7. I tried most of them, there is no difference in mining performance.

Thanks , I explored a difference between mining ETH , EXP/SOIL. When mining EXP and SOIL , the speed is about 20% faster , than mining ETH. Tried both win 7 and 8.1 x64. Tried several mining pools , as well. And deleting ethash folder for every single try.
So is it normal such a big difference in speeds ( Im with 15.7 driver, but Crimson 16.1 giving same speed )...

Just an update that the problem starting the miner was caused because even though I disabled the onboard intel ship the monitor was plugged in and showing a display.

Anyway,  After installing 3 280x and an old 7950 I was shocked at the results for my 7950...Did I need to upgrade!!!

280x - GPU  0:  62.0C 1904RPM | 10.84M/10.74Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:0.175/m xI: 64
280x - GPU  1:  74.0C 1865RPM | 10.67M/10.65Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:0.142/m xI: 64
280x - GPU  2:  72.0C 1898RPM | 10.67M/10.67Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:0.132/m xI: 64

My thought is how can I get the 280x even higher !!!

The DAG files size of Eth has increased a lot since early days. So the hash speed dropped a lot. The EXP/SOIL's DAG files size is still small, the speed is faster.

I do not see difference between W7 and W8.1.
