WOW! Thank you eXtremal!!! Great job!!

Hi, eXtermal, where can I find the source code for version 10.X? I want to compile it my own. The provided pre-compiled binary version hangs my PC which when I quit the miner (for playing my game). The github version dates back to 2014 and no source code for the new version. the old version no longer builts on modern ubuntu.

New version 9.4 with next speedup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ny027u62vbeb2u5/xpmclient_v9.4.tar.gz?dl=0

Radeon R9 290X @ 1000/1250 (stock) - 14.9 CPD
  R9 290X @ 1040/1500 - 15.35CPD
Radeon R9 290 @ 947/1250 (stock) - 13.2 CPD
Radeon R9 280X @ 1000/1250 (stock) - 9.35 CPD
  R9 280X @ 1100/1500 - 10.25CPD

270 card 820/1250:
  new miner   < 3.2 cpd
 9.4.1 < 4.8 cpd

7850 820/1250:
 new miner <2.5 cpd
9.4.1 <3.7

difference 50%

for 9.4.1 driver 15.7.1 with ocl 14.6
for  the new miner work only witout ocl driver in miner (15.7.1)

Miners 9.4.1 and 10.2.1 shows almost identically CPD with same drivers version. What's problem with xpmclient 10.2 on system with catalyst 15.7.1 and ocl 14.6 ?

what if they stay at target=10? your pools will accept those shares or reject those shares?

Pool will reject around 60% shares from miners with target=10, but continue accept blocks from it.

can you make new superb kernel with target=11 for those cards?

I can share this kernel, but everyone can do this.
Best option for Tahiti/Hawaii (R9 280/290) is Catalyst 14.6, for R9 390 - Catalyst 15.12 with ocl from 14.6.

let's make some benchmarks.

It's known information, you can't get good CPD with 15.12, need OCL from 14.x. This substitution works well on Windows 7 and Linux, but may not properly works on Windows 10.

Here is collection of OCL part from different drivers:

Can you try xpmclient 10.2.1 with drivers 15.12 and OCL from 13.x/14.x ?

i have good CPD with 15.12 and stock kernel (target=10).
it is more or less same CPD compared to win7 with 14.6 driver.

none version xpmclient won't start with ocl 14.x
i can give you access to my computer via teamviewer so you can test anything.

Update:
Finally I got it to work!
It should be equal to 10.5-11cpd with target=10

Thank you for your excellent 10.2.1 client.

I'm at a loss ... why there is no indignation? that the pool steals ... that the miner is bad?! 

[Romeo53]

why compiled win 10.2.1 version i can't find. extremal, is it difficult to do it? or you think all there mega programists? any body compile this, i lost a lot of time to try do it. mingw get error could not find protobuf

Thank you for your excellent 10.2.1 client.

How you did it ?

why compiled win 10.2.1 version i can't find. extremal, is it difficult to do it? or you think all there mega programists? any body compile this, i lost a lot of time to try do it. mingw get error could not find protobuf

Compiled windows version is archive http://coinsforall.io/distr/xpmclient-10.2.1-beta.tar.gz name xpmclient.exe
If you don't want use released binary and want compile, you need download and build google protobuf before and some other libraries mentioned in readme.

To update statistics(target="11"):
Win 10
xpmclient v.10.2
Vega 56 (bios from wet 64), driver 18.2.3 - 0.66 cpd

RX 480, driver Blockchain-Aug23 - 0.35(36) cpd
RX 580, driver 17.7 - 0.39(40) cpd

Vega and Polaris good results for target="11", I have stock Vega 56 with 0.61 cpd only
R9 390 too low CPD, I don't know how get 0.5 CPD with 18.2 drivers (may be run from separate directore and use old OCL?)

why i get error "64 bit kernels not supported on 32 bit executable"?

i try different drivers. 15.2, 16.3 etc
