is 14.7 also working?

I was unaware of 14.7 will look into it
Thanks for the heads-up I have edited the OP.  If AMD is releasing RC candidates more frequently I think that they are listening to our feedback
I will post on OP a link for previous 14.6RC2 as soon as I get it uploaded on mega.
Still downloading 14.7RC1 ...

Are 14.7 RC working 

[chadwickx16]

Are 14.7 RC working 

I think we are all waiting for this...LOL! Because we are too scared to test it ourselves....me included.

[atomicchaos]

I'm not risking it with 14.7 now, as I've spent far too much time on my many rigs updating protocols, but I'm thrilled to finally have CGwatcher working with SG 5.0 and automated Algorithm switching. Pointing 10 rigs to Nicehash right now, I had two running last night, and both made it through the night with many switches, and both were stable. So, I'm expanding to include the rest of the farm slowly (50 rigs).

I probably should better clarify what the payment is on nicehash vs. Wafflepools, as I'm not 100% clear on that. I love Wafflepools, and think the dev there is both highly skilled and trustworthy.. I don't know anything about nicehash's, but must say they have a great system setup. After a slow rollout to X11, and then X13, it's nice to make a jump to have most of the new protocols running and being up to speed on the latest trend (this week's flavor). I suppose once that is stable, it will be time to upgrade to 14.7 RC.

so nobody tried it yet ?  
I updated last week to RC2... I don't feel like installing an other RC so soon (how many release candidate are they planning to release ? )

[utahjohn]

OK i'm going to see how 14.7RC goes on one rig now, having gotten some sleep I'm ready LOL.
i would have thought somebody had already tried it by now

Clean install of 14.7RC done, now waiting for Winblowz updates to complete so I can reboot.

Initial impressions: Well It didn't trash and crash my box  No noticeable increase in hashrate on a 5xxx card.
14.4 cedar bin seems to work best with this card ... Actually seeing a slight gain in hashrate using old bin
14.4 cedar bin https://mega.co.nz/#!DVp3EKbb!ZXO8SUTlnbeBCO-UxSGBpENiJZA9KH_wTXbBnEg20VI

Will update production box now and try 7950+280x
Grrr ... BSOD during install, running install again ... OK install completed sucessfuly.  Again waiting on Winblowz updates to complete before reboot ...
Agonizingly slow load of wallets to start mining again.  I need to get this box a SSD
Mining again still using 14.6RC2 bin files and need to run for a few hours to see where they stabilize, then will try 14.7RC bin and see if any improvement ... OK actually got lower hashrates with 14.7RC bin.

My quick conclusion: Ignore 14.7RC and stick with 14.6RC2 for now.

6 Days straight so far, no issues here. X11mod

280x > 270 > 270 > 270



Sapphire 280X w/ Stilt BIOS Dual-X Windows 8.1 x64, 14.6 Drivers @ 1150 mV using TRIXX. My card is subborn so that's why it's only hashing at that rate. And yes I think I'm using sgminer version from the first post, I don't remember

First values are the 280x

"intensity" : "18,17,17,17",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192,6401,6401,6401",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"worksize" : "256,128,128,128",
"expiry" : "1",
"queue" : "1",
"gpu-engine" : "1120,1120,1120,1110",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500,1500,1500",

Here is NIST5

Nice can I get your X15 config?

Same as my X11

Still downloading 14.7RC1 ...

tried it myself on 4 rigs now with both newer modded kernels.
runs flawlessly. no increase to 14.6 tho I guess.

Uninstalled older drivers before installing 14.7

Same results here, i'll skip any further testing of 14.7RC1.  No harm done and have left it installed.

Edit: IDK if 5+ card issue is resolved yet as I don't have any machine that big

[malodin]

utah,

i have gotten 5 cards running stead on the 14.6rc2, running win 8.1/sgminer x11 moded/gigabyte r9 270x 4gb versions, things are normal and steady with 5 cards but throw the 6th card in the mix and all goes to crap lol.

each card hashes x11 at 2.6M/h

my power consumption went from 1100 watts on scrypt to 500 watts on x11, and my payouts are just about the same(possibly less only due to the hit scrypt has taken lately)

[bensam123]

Here is X15

How are you getting x15 hash rates like that? :O

First post doesn't have a build of sgminer nor revamped cl files for x15, just x11 and x13.

[utahjohn]

Wafflepool has decided not to add X15 to the stable for the time being, so I will be doing no further X15 testing.  However I too am interested in the hashrates SavageWS6 has acheived on X15!

[bensam123]

Based on what I'm getting from nist5, I'm guessing that's nist5 and not x15...

Yeah, going to trademybit, 7770 is setup to nist5.

[chadwickx16]

Thanks for testing 14.7Utah.

I'm sorry I'm such a tease, I can't read. I'm running NIST5 algo on my screen shot, not X15. Sorry for the confusion. I haven't done a X15 test yet

I'll refund any horrific pants changes, new boxer purchases, and boners due to me misleading anyone. lol

[crazyivan]

Can anyone post config for sgminer 5, 14.7 drivers and 280x cards. All I get with X11 is bunch of HW erors when using the same config I used with old 13.2 drivers. Thx.

The 14.7 have some serious issues and may fry your gpu(s) !

Go back to 14.6 14.4 then copy 14.7's openCL files to the sgminer5 folder and the HW errors should go away.
