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

[Anobix]

I have an interesting phenomenom with neoscrypt, on 280x.

With intensity 13, I get about 298kh/s stable. If I then lower intensity to 12, hashrate rises to 305kh/s and stays there.

However, if I start sgminer directly with intensity=12, hashrate is only 270kh/s or so, and does not rise any higher.. So it need to go through intensity 13, then lower to 12 to get max speed.

This is with latest sgminer develop version, Wolf's kernel, catalyst 14.6.
 

Are you saying one 280x?I got only 150k/s with one-280x. What;s your config?

I get about 250kh/s per 280x using wolf0's kernel file, 1070/1600 2 threads, 8192 tc, 14.7 drivers

[Prelude]

For some reason, since I added neoscrypt to my config, my miner isn't auto switching to x11, x13, or x15 anymore when they are more profitable. Is there something wrong below?

Might want to make that f8=0.3 based on the latest neoscrypt hashrates. Note that the Nicehashdev just announced the default rate was being adjusted to .15 to .3 over on the Nicehash thread here. I'm getting 1.21 Mhash w. my rig, compared to 3.74 when I last ran Scrypt in May, so that sounds about right.

I heard of some .cl files that gives in x11 algo 7Mh/s out of a R9 280X. What's true about this?

Someone have a solution for 290 non-x  i can only get 250khs but with my 280x and 7970s i get 280khs anyone

[semajjames]

Badman74's Modded miner and Wolf0's kernel

For a 290 (non-x) with hynix memory, settings 11/96/4 with clocking 1110/1475 will get you ~283k.

[drkman]

So the new neoscrypt kernel "isn't released yet", but the hashrate on most of the neoscrypt coins has doubled in the last few hours..

Is that's how it's gonna be?  Know someone to get the new kernel?

Nope. It's here: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/neoscrypt.cl

Worksize should be 64, don't bother setting TC, GPU threads 2. Basically the same as my earlier screenshot.

Thank you, dear))
256 @ 7970
240 @ 280x

Would be nice if you share a little informations ,such as :
-Your OS ?
-Your SGminer version ?
-Your AMD driver version ?
I could mine as higher speed but more HW also

PiMP 1.4
CGMiner 5.0.0
14.6

Thanks buddy

Hi Guys, I have a decomissioned 5card 270x rig.  Is it worth setting it back up and running the wolf neoscrypt kernel or latest X11 kernel on it?  Might be marginally worth it by my calcs but looking for some real world current input.  If so which sgminer and AMD driver to use with the above kernel?  Also, which multipool to use for neoscrypt?  Currently use trademybit.

I know most of everyone is AMD here, but I need some help getting back into mining after taking a few month break. I'm running a Nvidia 970 and I'm interested in mining X11, Scrypt-N and Scrypt coins. I know profit isn't there anymore, but still interested. I've tried creating a bat file with the config below, but for some reason the miner is defaulting to use my processors onboard graphics.

Code:

sgminer -o stratum+tcp://ca.simplemulti.com:3344 -u User.name -p x -I 13 -o stratum+tcp://ca.simplemulti.com:3434 -u user.name -p x

sgminer only works on amd cards
you will need to find a cuda miner for whatever algo's you want to mine

badman, you need this data  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dI1Cc3JhhsA-UdIRlndvQ9huX8FmoJT2TXFDB0wdp54/edit#gid=0

and the miner in this thread.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.300

For a 290 (non-x) with hynix memory, settings 11/96/4 with clocking 1110/1475 will get you ~283k.

Seems awful low for such high clocks?

My 290 with Elpida memory is running 1000/1500 MHz and 287kh/s..

I haven't even tweaked any settings, just the first ones I tried. TC 16384, gpu-threads 2, worksize 64, intensity 13.

lucky you i tried W64 but my computer just shuts down, what could it be?

So try my settings, or experiment with his..

my 280x at ~280Khs

thanks wolf

thanks ftc for changing algo

[lsss]

I have three 5870's and would like to mine FTC at TMB. Any one have neoscrypt running decent for AMD 5870? I'm only getting 20kh/s per card, using badman's current mod miner.

Check the FTC forums - they have a cl for old cards.

Thanks, I did see that forum and tried that cl, I think neoscrypt_vliw, but it doesn't work with this Multi-Algo version of SGMiner, at least not badman's latest mod version. Is there a version of the Multi-Algo SGMIner it does work with?  I think over at the FTC forum they were using some new version of CGMiner?

Anyway I was hoping to mine FTC at TMB with the algo switcher.


Thanks,
