[ANN] sgminer with X11/X13/Nist5/Quark/Anime kernels compatible 14.6 amd drivers

[majkel_94]

I really would like a version wich helps improvement on the HD5xxx and HD6xxx cards.... 

Have you tried installing 14.6 beta drivers and they compiling bins for 5xxx?

I have this cards too but my rig is far far away, so I can't install drivers remote and I'm waiting for Cypress and Juniper bins

There's a re-compiled version that fixes it.

actually I am working on it, however the result isn't that good at the moment.
However using the current jackpot-miner with 14.6 drivers gives already a little boost

by the way I have updated the op with a windows binaries which works correctly.

So 14.6 drivers seem to lock clock speeds for some people (not me, who knows why). If you tried 14.6 and your clocks are locked I have a very easy fix for you. The bins I created below are made with 14.6 drivers, but will work fine with 14.4 installed. So, keep using (or revert to) 14.4, download this new miner, copy these bins into its folder and you should be good to go. Note these are standard settings, 8192 TC, 256 worksize, etc. These were made for a 280x, sorry I have no other cards to make bins with but some other nice person out there with other cards can do that.

Anyways link here (it's just the bins, don't worry):

Thanks a lot for your work on this new miner. I haven't run it long yet but the speed improvement is real. ~4.3 on X11 and ~3.1 on X13, for a 280x.

I used this bin and it increase my 7970 card hash rate from 2500 to 3200MH/s.

Is it possible for you to create a X13 bin?

It's already in there

How did u get it into PiMP, have 2 riggs one win7 with 280Xś and 1 with 4 290ś and PiMP, no problems with the new drivers on win7, but i have no clue how to get it running on Pimp ( latest version 14,4 )

@djm34

nice work man.

can you please share your 290x settings? i have a 290x tri-x and a 290 tri-x and im not getting the same performance as you im getting 5k on the 290x.

first card is a 290 second 290x

Im using pimp 1.5.51-14.6b testing if you go to #PiMP on freenode irc and ask for the testing image someone will give you a dl link
im one of the testers...

ok i tweaked my cards a little more and this is what i get now

The binaries were updated in the OP today and they should get rid of this problem

On 5850 and 6970 there is improvement with 14.6 opencl files
5850 now makes 900+KH on x13, 6970 is above 1400.
I used the version from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658975.0, initially I reported no speed up, but I had messed bat/conf files.
Tested under 13.12 with opencl files from 14.6 copied into sgminer folder and deleting all bins

[intotherain]

got 4.400 my r9 280x toxic. thank you.

[aadje93]

got zlib1.dll missing error on 14.4 In the other thread 14.4 whql is anounced, i downloaded the 14.4 on normal amd driver site so i suppose its the whql version.

[ticoti]

great,my hashrate increased, but i don't really know if WU has increased effectively too

[BITCOINDENMARK]

got 4.400 my r9 280x toxic. thank you.

Is that on windows 32 or 64 ?  (Does it mater, using 32/64?)

I found the opencl files in AMD folder inside \Packages\Drivers\Display\WB6A_INF\B171094 (after decompressing the 14.6 driver package without installing it, or with 7zip)
I don't know which are needed, so I copied everything that had "opencl" or "amdocl" in the filename into the sgminer folder (8 files, dlls & exes).
Deleted all previous bins, and now it's even better (+3%) than using the bins from 14.6 (I have 14.4 drivers installed).

What/where are the opencl files ? - I would like to try the same

Hi,

I have released a version of sgminer which allows to mine X11 and X13 coins using 14.6 amd drivers.

As it has been noticed some times ago, with 14.6 drivers almost double the hashrate of groestl algorithm and substantially increases the hashrate of any algo using groestl such as X11, X13, Nist5 (talkcoin).

However with 14.6 drivers some algos (in particular X11 and X13) stopped working completely.
This release fix the problem. This release is based on lasybear sgminer release.

You can find the source at:  https://github.com/djm34/sph-sgminer_x11mod
windows binaries at:  https://mega.co.nz/#!hZUAzQDQ!GrLynWXGP5wFIiDmFpXnTiXV-AI_bkXEFfQrJpbwF1o

This version supports these kernels (and some others... but need to be checked though)

* X11mod  (-k x11mod)
* X13mod   (-k x13mod)
* Nist5      (-k nist5)   (talkcoin)
* Quark coins (-k quarkcoin)
* Animecoin (-k animecoin )

I didn't modify the original marucoin and darkcoin kernel are they are slower and some improvement on the quark/anime kernel should be expected soon)

In terms of speed, it was tested so far only on my R9 290x:
With X11mod, I get 5.4MHash/s
With X13mod, I get 3.75MHash/s  (which is not terrible compared to nvidia cards)
With Nist5, I get 15.8MHash/s (more details can be found on talkcoin thread)
