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

[platinum4]

I'd be very carefull with the X15 AMD miner floating around,
it could be trojan/virus. 

Not sure if that's true, but I've counted now five different versions of x15 miners floating around.

[McNulty]

Is it possible to use more than one algo in the same time ?

like this:

],
"failover-only" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"intensity" : "19,19,19,19,19",
"worksize" : "128,128,128,128,128",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192,8192,8192,8192,8192",
"gpu-threads" : "4,4,4,4,2",
"kernel": "x13mod,x13mod,x13mod,x13mod,x13modold"


(280x,280x,280x,280x,HD5870)

Cgwatcher is no longer working with this version.Any backup plan?It's hot in summer and sgminer like to hang.

[lucid_ity]

Nope, don't agree.  It is not rational to think that a 290 @ 2.5mhs is "optimized" when a 750 Ti is pulling in the same hash rate vicinity but spending only 30w doing so.

With clocks exactly the same / drivers exactly the same, the optimized lasybear / sgminer v5 builds fall within 5-10% power usage (more) of the most current phm build on all my 290, 270, 280x, and 7950 rigs. Temps are virtually the same (including VRMs).  I do not use 5/6xxx cards, so it may be different with those architectures.

My take is that X11 has simply been under-optimized for AMD hardware since phm stopped developing a while back.  These current enhancements are bringing the performance up to where it should be.  

You are correct, I had no idea nvidia cards were mining X11 so efficiently.   In that case, keep up the progress!

New sgminer v5 is great, thanks devs very much for great effort!
But if you're looking for any reason for old sgminer builds you can get them here https://sites.google.com/site/coinstodam00n/builds

I got cgwatcher working with the newest version.

Get CGWatcher 1.3.9

In the settings there is something you need to disable...

Settings>Miner>
CHECK - Disable temporary config file creation during miner start

Now, you are not done. Launch SGMiner through CGWatcher and it should instaclose.

Go to your config file and you should see a 2 new lines in there:

"api-listen" : true,

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"

For whatever reason it will add the lines needed to monitor, but it wont add the comma that will cause a JSON error and make the miner crash. For me, it was the "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1" it would continuously delete the comma, so the fix is to add that line to the VERY bottom:

EXAMPLE

"api-listen" : true,
"intensity" : "19",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8193",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-fan" : "40,60,60,40,40",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"expiry" : "10",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"tcp-keepalive" : "30",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"failover-only" : true,
"failover-switch-delay" : "1",
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"
}

Problem solved. You can now use CGWatcher when using multi algo switching.

I sincerely hope this helps someone.

Thanks.

I'm having a problem and I'm out of ideas.

Using sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-25-win32 only 1 GPU will mine and the others will be listed as "OFF". Also, it forces marucoin-mod even when x11mod is set as the algo in the config. (Using x11mod because I can't get marucoin-mod to work).
The same config works with sph-sgminer_x11mod (not including kernel vs algo).

I'm running 4x270x's

I'm going to switch to Nicehash after this is working.

That build doesn't allow for --kernel i don't think, builds after 6/25 do, but some are broken in the v5_0 tree for the next day or two

Thanks for the tip.
This kind of works for me but only if I do it manually every time I start CGwatcher.
For some reason the "disable temporary config file" setting is not properly loaded into CGwatcher on startup, even though my cgwatcher.exe.ini does have "UseTempConfigFile=False" included.

looks fairly normal to me
nscrypt typically runs at half of scrypt hash rate

Thanks!

Nope this is the standard drop in performance experienced when using 14.x drivers versus 13.x I think.

It murders scrypt performance.

not sure really but TC for scrypt and nscrypt are not usually the same....
try setting your shaders, remove the TC and .bin files then run
the .bin files it creates will give you a starting point for your TC for each
for example i am running 290x with 14.6 drivers and my bins are alexkarnewHawaiigw256l4lg2tc2816nf11.bin and alexkarnewHawaiigw256l4lg2tc5632nf10.bin
so i would use TC 2816 for nscrypt and TC 5632 for scypt
or just use shaders

as I understand it is normal for nscrypt & 14.6 driver. Furthermore the temperature dropped a bit and I calmed down so thank you very much

[Trillium]

Or set shaders to 0 and use TC by itself. Or also leave TC=0 and use rawintensity which is a lot like TC.

For scrypt-n, TC is usually half (or less) of what is known to be best for your cards on normal scrypt. There are heaps of sites that list these for most cards.

Can somebody, who is using the latest nicehash windows build sgminer_v5 (sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-25-win32.zip) with 14.6 beta drivers , please check if the gpu-engine/gpu-memclock options are working with this build as expected ?
For me, the latest windows build, completely ignores the core/memory clock settings from config file, the GPU boost mode default values are used instead (1070/1550MHz for the given R9-280X cards). I'm unable to change the values from sgminer GPU menu (Shift+G) as well. thanks
