[dtest]

4 - Open <your source path>/winbuild/sgminer.sln, change configuration from Debug to Release, then press F7 to build, the compiled sgminer.exe is located at <your source path>/winbuild/output/x86/Release

sgminer.sln not present in the download link
upload, please again

Has anyone gotten -d switch to work? If I put -d 0,1,2,3,4 only one card works, if I take the -d completely out it works ok but after reboot I get:

Weird.

start using task scheduler sir ?
some how it doesn't gives correct working folder i guess

Yes it was task scheduler, let me look into the task and my command line - cheers for the pointer.

Suggestion:

Just create a config to list ordered  algorithm names instead of X11, X13, X15, etc. For example algorithms="keccak,bmw, groetsl".

Lets call it XN algorithm

Has anyone got a Radeon 69 series to run using this software? Trying to get a 6990 to work but just get hardware errors.

If not can anyone recommend any x15 software that will work?

Did u use bitblockold?

Thanks, yes I did still no luck. Here's my .bat file perhaps I've got it wrong:

COLOR 0A
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:6002 --pool-algorithm bitblockold --name BBL -u ***  -p *** --gpu-platform 0 -I 12 -g 1 -w 256

I'm getting 1450kh/s x15

Thanks very much I'll give it a try

sgminer freezes on quit for me on Windows 7 with 280x cards.  Once it is frozen, I can't even kill the process, I have to do a hard reset.

I'm still on Catalyst 14.1, should I update it?

Using the binary from the rar linked in OP

[spoonuk]

I'm having major issues with version 29 - 280X cards produce HW errors (X15) - up to 10 per hour and eventually freeze up the rig (black screen of death lol)

290x cards on the other hand are having no problems.

I will second this and I already have the 14.6 beta drivers.

I need a Windows version。I will not compile。

Hi guy's could anyone show me what I'm doing wrong? I'm running a 6950 on windows 7.  I made a bat file  as below and get nothing but rejects

sgminer --pool-algorithm bitblockold -I 16  -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:6002 -u -p --thread-concurrency 4032

Any experience with R9 290 I have only 2,7 Mh per card on x15  Is this ok with 14.6 drivers or something wrong ?

[SirChewie]

2.7 might be a bit low.. I'm getting 1.9MH x15 / each R9 270...

Try a lower worksize maybe? I had to drop mine to 64

That's the same speed I'm getting. I've tried changing every setting in the book and nothing really makes a difference. I have a feeling we need to wait for an optimized version of the kernel to get better performance.

Right now my 280x is outperforming my 290.

I've tried it with 64, 128, and 256 work size. No notable difference.

Did u test it with "hamsi-expand-big" : "1", ?

Just read an old thread of people complaining of the same problem in an older version of cgminer.  The temp workaround was to hit the x to close the miner instead of using the Quit option.  The downside is that cgminer doesn't reset your clocks and fans on exit, but who cares right.  This works on this build of sgminer.  You can also set CGWatcher to kill the process instead of quitting when stopping or restarting (Settings -> Miner -> top two check boxes).

on my 1g memory (or above) 5xxx and 6xxx cards ,the bitblockold algorithm works fine,but 512m cards can't run,says not enough memory.
I tried to decrease TC or increase LG,can't work neither.
seems that parameter "--thread-concurrency" and "--lookup-gap" don't play a part in Bitblockold algorithm.
Is there any other ways that can  decrease the memory occupancy in order to let my 512m cards run the x15 algo？
