NSGminer v0.9.4: The Fastest NeoScrypt GPU Miner

[Bobby_Atlas]

Hello there, ghostlander,
i'm running nsg under Ubuntu, got 2 AMD cards on it. R9 290 4 GB and RX560 4 GB. Everything was perfect, not it show very low hash rate on neoscrypt. When i run it with -g 2 -I 10 it show's trashed low hashate, when i'm trying set -I like 20 or 18 on working nsg it says wrong choice - on any -I more than 10


I was mining on suse ent before and get no this problem

Ubuntu with Unity isn't the best choice for mining because it consumes too much GPU resources. Switch to a 2D only desktop environment like LXDE, Xfce, etc.

How much should a 1070 do with this?

[btc00]

any new version heave ?

[ma7555]

What are the settings to use with RX 470? I can't seem to run it properly and getting fairly small hash rate.

[ghostlander]

any new version heave ?

Pull it from GitHub and compile yourself or wait until the next release.

Hey guys!  I have a question about mining NeoScrypt.

Win10 x64, Asus GTX1080Ti Trix OC (388.13 drivers), I7-7700K 4.5GHz, 32Gb DDR4 2400MHz, SSD

CAn't make my 1080Ti mine at a h/rate more than 600-650Khash/s. Already tried like 5 diff ccminers. Doesn't matter if I overclock or run it at stock clocks.

Example of ccminer bat file:

ccminerAlexis78.exe --algo=neoscrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9554 -u User -p 123 -i 15

Any Ideas on how to make it mine at usual 1500-1600Khash/s?

Maybe don't use intensity 15?

[lankyman]

RX480/580 - only 440 kh/s with -I 16 ?
too low!

I hate this algorithm  because NSGMiner is rubbish or either i dont know how to use it.
I dont even get 100kh/s
Its ridiculous, i dont know why Neoscrypt is horrible to mine with AMD...
I have never used Nvidia so no idea how to compare.

[George5]

Maybe don't use intensity 15?

Even if I don't set the intensity manually, it sets itself to 16 and the hashrate is about the same.

I tried gatelessgate instead of nsgminer and it gave me a bloody blue screen and then it was a real mission to set up my GPUs again, what a pain in the ball sack

The miner hasn't been optimized for AMD 400/500 series yet, so adjusting settings with those GPUs doesn't make too much of a difference.  Since a R9 series AMD GPU gets the same or higher hashrate as the RX series I have hope that there is more performance to be gained with AMD. Until the developer has time to work on it, or another developer takes time to try improving hashrate and stability for AMD GPUs I don't think it's going to be any better.

RX480 8G
i set
nsgminer --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 16 -o stratum+tcp://xxxxx.port -u x -p x
only 440 kh/s
is this right? please help

I have uploaded two additional OpenCL kernels to GitHub for older AMD GPUs of the VLIW5 and VLIW4 architectures. One with minor improvements over v7, another with a parallel execution Salsa20/20 and ChaCha20/20. If anyone is still mining with these pre-GCN GPUs, use these kernels. I think VLIW4 is better with the sequential kernel while VLIW5 prefers the parallel one.

NSGminer v0.9.3 is out, the download links are in the OP. There are bug fixes and performance improvements for all major GPU architectures. GetBlockTemplate is now working in addition to GetWork and Stratum.

Great news! Did you test it on modern AMD gpus and recent blockchain drivers? Maybe Vega? What speed should we expect?

I was getting 515KH/s on a non-overclocked RX480 with the amdgpu-pro v17.40 drivers and +5% with v16.40. These drivers are a disaster, but there's no choice on Linux as fglrx is gone. Maybe the performance is better on Windows.

Thanks. But 515kk/s isn't good. rx480 is a competitor of gtx1066 or gtx1070 and they can do 800-1400 kh/s neoscrypt

My GTX 1070 does 750KH/s using the same kernel.

[halker2010]

right now what's the best oc setting for good temp in gtx 1070 and 1080 ?
