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

[tolazy]

Hi.
just got my new gpu Saphire R9 390X Nitro 8GB

got sgminer to work with X11
with this settings:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k x11mod --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -w 128  -I 18 -g 4 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 8193 --auto-fan -o stratum+tcp://x:7903 -u xx -p x

i get about 5.35MH/s is that OK ?
useing: sgminer-v5.2.1 for x11
not sure these settings are optimal for my card.

and is skein "digibyte" only for NVIDIA ?

You should get at least 3x the speed you're getting now.

Get the nice hash version if you're on windows. Open the bin folder and choose the first sgminer folder in there. Run that.

Good luck!

same for sgminer-5-1-1-optimized and sgminer-5-2-1-general
feels like it takes to long for them to load so they timeout or something

[tolazy]

sgminer-5-1-0-optimized give me 3mhs
sgminer-5-1-1-optimized give me 3mhs
sgminer-5-2-1-general give me 5.4mhs - darkcoind-mod

stock sgminer-v5.2.1 give me 5.4mhs with x11mod

i cant to benchmak with NiceHashMiner_v1.2.3.1 the test gets terminated after a while

Ok, sgminer-5-1-0 is the one you want to go for.

create a config file "sgminer.conf" and insert this

Code:

{

"pools" :
 [
                       
{
               
"name" : "NiceHash_X11_Fixed",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://x11.eu.nicehash.com:3336",           
"user" : "enter btc address here",        
"pass" : "x",       
"algorithm" : "x11mod",         
"nfactor" : "10",         
"xintensity" : "1024",                         
"worksize" : "64",           
"gpu-threads" : "1"
        
}
],
"keccak-unroll" : "0",
"hamsi-expand-big" : "4",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"log-show-date" : true,
"debug-log" : false,
"failover-only" : true,
"failover-switch-delay" : "300",
"queue" : "0",
"api-listen" : "true",
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"

}

Than create a .bat file: X11.bat for example with this

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -c sgminer.conf

And run it.

Should work.

Should work.

used that. but added
"gpu-platform" : "1",
"device" : "0",        

i dont find my gpu when i run sgminer -c sgminer.conf

"added --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 to the bat file and i started.
but this came after.

change from x11mod to darkcoin-mod and i'm nog doing 8.5Mhs with sgminer-v5.2.1

[Eliovp]

Take my config i gave you there, run it. "add your BTC address where the user is." run it from inside the sgminer 5-1-0 folder.

Do not change anything about it except maybe the platform thing.

Leave the url and so as it is.

And than run it. Let me know how it went.

Greetings

76C @ 1020 RPM would be a dream for me.  Your temp settings are very low.  I've  never seen any that low but maybe amd improved heat dissipation for the 3xx series a lot, a whole lot.

did a reboot of the pc and it started working again.

at the moment i'm mining x11 @15Mhs
[P]ool management [G]PU management Settings Display options Quit

[tolazy]

is it possible to set sgminer to retry the server your mining at ?
looked at help info but didnt see any retry omption.

reason i'm asking is that i mine to my own p2pool server and sometimes it drops out due to p2pool lost connection to the wallet

[adaseb]

Anyone know why I only get 5.9MH/s with the latest sgminer mining X11 with a 7970 ? Should be around 10Mh

Who told you "should be 10 Mhs" ?

anyone know why my miner stops after 1-2hours ?

The optimized sgminer which is bundled in the latest NiceHash Miner (https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases) should get you approx 10 MHs on 7970 mining x11.

Have you tried this yourself with your own 7970 ?

Remember to use catalyst 15.7.1 drivers. for optimal speed.

You need to overclock the 7970 quite a lot to get 10 MHz. For stock, the speed is much lower than 10 MH/s.
