ok here the first version of the miner: (source+binaries) http://ge.tt/7Z2nZ132/v/0?c

I haven't made a github repo yet.
It was compiled with vs2013.
the source is in "Miner", the binaries in "Release" (from the root, there is another Release directory in "Miner" but you won't find anything).
There is a bat example called "test_750ti.bat" (because I am lazy...).
A config file can be found (and must be set to match your card) in Resources/Config
It is a standard sgminer miner config file.
The kernel is in Kernel directory and should remain there.

Currently in the config file, this is my best setting for the my 290x with 14.9 drivers
And leads to 53MH/s before the card throttle down because of high temp.
With power at -30% (where the temp is stable I still get 45~48MH/s)
powertune does not seem to work (actually it does not work either in msi AB, I have been able to set it only from catalyst app).

Right now, it is a one kernel implementation, 2 kernels might improve the hashrate. (got many exception error when trying to implement it, then I settled down to 1 kernel...)

It was tested on testnet, I haven't had the patience to wait for a block on main net (I know that someone with a big farm is running on coinshield... so I didn't insist...   but it should work)

Great! Thx

I got error when run the bat file: First problem was the "msvcp120.dll" is missing. After installing dll "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc00007b"

My system is Win 7 64bit , AMD MSI 280x .... Any help ?

Thank you very much. It's good to see progress.
Unfortunately I have only older AMD GPUs and the miner doesn't seems to work even with my 7950 which is the best I have right now. (the miner reports 0 khash/s)
Another problem that I observed that the server address is hard coded to 127.0.0.1:9325 or at least I wasn't able to modify using the config file.
EDIT: CPU usage is 100% (4 cores)

EDIT: CPU usage is 100% (4 cores)

it's not hardcoded, it can be changed in the config file which is in Release/Ressource/Config (remove the one in Release, it isn't used... ), may-be you can also better parameter for your card.
(I don't have cpu usage to 100%, it goes up to 20% which is already high, which actually is a little less than the nvidia version... may-be playing with the config, could help... )


regarding the IP:PORT design, I don't how it will work with pools... (same question for both miners actually)

edit: actually if it mines at 90%, I could be because it doesn't find the gpu... (can you check if the gpu is really used... I don't think it can use the opencl of the cpu either...)

Hi djm , which speeds do you reach on 280X and 750TI with your new miner

please use the config file in directory "Release/Resources/Config" not the one in "Release".
You are currently using the setting of my R9... (by default... I also removed vddc... that's why I know you are not using the correct one...)

Regarding the cards, I don't have a 280x and for the 750ti, I use the other miners (this one won't work actually with an nvidia card) and it gets around 28MH/s with the 750ti

Thanks , Ill check out
EDIT: Stabilized it at 145 MH/s with 5x280X Vapor-X, but did not find any block.
I have a rig of Nvidia which mining with 110MH/s and hits blocks ...

[yampi]

Reducing the amount of gpu threads in the conf fixed the cpu usage going up to 90% and the hash is not 0 kh/s any more.

It should work, in principle, I will check again (to make sure I didn't mess with before releasing) if the nonce doesn't skip any value...

I get an error after running the bat.

The application was unbable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

I am running Windows 7 64bit and installed the 14.9 driver. using a 280x and 270x.

Have you installed the correct msvcp120.dll into your system. It must be a 32bit version and don't just copy into the miner directory but install the correct package from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Maybe claymore is mining it with gpu in CPU channel.

What's the conf of 750ti for your previous released miner,I got only around 19mh/s for each 750ti.

I was getting 28mh/s with a mild oc.
Did you compile it yourself or is this a binaries you found here ?
If you compile it yourself, make sure you use compute_50 (however the driver should take care of that...)

Thanks for the miner. Sent you some blocks.
