X11mod, X13mod, X15 and catalyst 14.7 RC

[ibfragalot2]

Anyone have a modified INF for the 14.6 RC2 yet for 5+ GPUs???

Can't use the modified inf for the 14.6 may version.

Here's what I've got so far ... still tuning my config:
Powercolor R9280X ->> 4.1MHs WU .058 temp  62C-63C (volt-modded to 1.081V and heatsink paste done properly)
Powercolor HD7950 PCS+ ->> 3.6MHs WU .050  62C-63C (volt-modded to 1.100V and heatsink paste done properly)

Can't use the modified inf for the 14.6 may version.

I would like to know too.

[utahjohn]

If anyone does come up with Modded INF for 14.6RC2 for 5+ cards let me know and I'll add link on OP.

[prometheianz]

Forgot to post this here aswell..

EDIT: Forgot to mention this BIN file is for 7950 or 280X cards, haven't tried it with any others!

If you're on 14.4 drivers and don't want the hassle of going to 14.6, just download this guys BIN file (I had to modify the BIN filename from 8192 to 8191 as that's the TC I use). I've got a 20% boost overall:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658975.msg7419294#msg7419294

Delete that .bin created on 14.4 driver and copy this one. Its made on 14.6, 100% working  Wink
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2igfbzxeqrtly0/x11modTahitiglg2tc8192w256l4.bin

I'm running Windows 7 with the 14.4 v3 mod drivers, lasybear's miner (sgminer_x11x13mod_03_06_2014.zip), and Pencha's BIN file.

I have 6 GPUs per machine and get 3.7 m/hash per card @ 1080/1500.

Help!!!
Anyone have a 3 modified INF for the 14.6 RC2 yet for 5+ GPUs

Currently testing X15 algo (bitblock), I'm getting around 2.2Mhs on a 7950 which is about 4x scrypt
I'm using SGminer beta 5. Windows 7 x64 (only tested with X15 so far)

Anyone suggest config settings for a 7990 x11/x13? Getting 6.2Mhs 60-61c underclocked to 1000, 1100mem, 1.065v, int 16, tc 22400

[induktor]

Sorry I don't have 7990

My settings for X15 and X13 on the R9 280X and 7970s

sgminer.exe --algorithm bitblock -o POOL -u USER -p PASS -w 128 --lookup-gap 2 -I 18 -g 4 --gpu-powertune 0 --gpu-engine 1030 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 35-80 --temp-target 62 --temp-overheat 67 --temp-cutoff 74 --auto-fan

Getting about 2.7 in X13 and 2.0 in X15
Driver is 14.4 (gonna try 14.6 see if I can squeeze more)
sgminer 4.2.1

[sandpaper]

x15 shows my gpu's going to 100c and fans to 9999 rpm. Idk why but it does.

WOW!
is that driver showing you crap or really the card goes to 100C ? check temp physically and power consumption.
I will scare the shit outta me if I see 100C on one of my GPUs
what miner, bin, settings, driver, os,card are U using?

[vleroybrown]

Not working with my 6 GPU rigs unfortunately (only 4 GPUs are usable). The drivers will need to be modded if you have 5+ GPUs.

However, this *should* work, I haven't had a chance to try it yet:

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.msg185847#msg185847

I attempted to follow along from the original post and made this for the "14.6-Beta-V1.0-Windows-May23" download that you can grab currently from AMD. I only made 2 .infs that replaced the two in \Packages\Drivers\Display\WB6A_INF.

I initially tried it without cleaning out the files and it failed. I would recommend following the OP's post on clearing out the files here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11001.msg79830#msg79830

I installed the same way as suggested in that post. I installed with fewer than 3 cards installed at the time. Afterwards I hooked the rest of them up and finally had 6 cards (r9 270s on Windows 8.1) working. I needed the 14.6 drivers as this miner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658411 is optimized for them and now my r9 270s are hashing ~2.5-2.7 Mh/s on x11mod kernel.

Anyhow, try these at your own risk: http://www.filedropper.com/146modtest       * fixed link

Same experience only get 5 290 GPUs on a Asrock Bitcoin Board with 14.6.

Are you saying that new driver 14.6's card count limit is 5 cards?, that sucks!, damn!.

Well it fired up fine and was about 50% fastest but unstable since within the hour I lost the 6th card.  Some weird error message in device manager,  I rolled back the driver and still am getting better hash but not maxing it out man.

[bucketofsocks]

x15 shows my gpu's going to 100c and fans to 9999 rpm. Idk why but it does.

for some reason on x15 my fans stay at idle no matter how hot the card gets (MSI 290) if I set fan speed manually in msi afterburner works ok and temps are normal

Weird!, I will check it on my dev miner and post results, but my biggest miner only has 5 cards, i was thinking about build one with 6, but now...

I know it looks obvious but, make sure afterburner is not running and use something like this in the .BAT of the miner:

--temp-target 63 --temp-overheat 68 --temp-cutoff 73 --gpu-fan 35-90 --auto-fan

see if still behaves like that, if it is the only choice i can think of is to set afterburner to a fixed FAN speed, 290 are huge beasts, so probably 70 to 80% would be best, I have all MSI 280X and in scrypt-N i run all cards at 100%, in X11,13,15 usually are between 40 a 60%.

Remember that sgminer v5 is a beta ...

Report issues to the developers at https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/v5_0-x15

Report issues with catalyst 14.6 RC2 at http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B25

Hopefully if enough people complain about the 5+ card issue they will fix it before official release.

I'm getting hw errors when mining x15 with Radeon 5000 series cards. 7000 series and 280x work fine with sgminer beta.


Anyone have any ideas on this issue? The 5000 series hash, but get only hw errors and no accepted work results

57 Khs ROFL

bumped up Intensity to 18 and it gets 58 KHs LOL

It's hashing but I have not seen any shares accepted yet ...
No HW errors. WU 0.00
I don't think 5xxx cards work with sgminer v5 beta
