Do not rename anything ....
use nichhash miner
NiceHashMiner_v1.3.0.3\bin\sgminer-5-1-0-optimized
config for x11 is

 save as x11.conf

now make a bat fill to start the miner .use
sgminer.exe --config x11med.conf --no-submit-stale --gpu-dyninterval 10 --luffa-parallel --blake-compact --nfactor 10
save as x11.bat


nfactor 10 and  xintensity  200 will let the miner use all your video cards ram . do not mess with tread count or or gpu-platform keep as is or you will not mine anything any thing over  xintensity  250 will stop your gpu .have fun and good luck. I use the R9 390x with 8 gigs that is your cards big brother mm. o and update to Crimson Edition 16.5.1 Hotfix alwas updat lol ...

Holy crap man! This is really bad news for me! As a reference my 7750 does 2MHs! I will try updating the drivers and see what happens.

I'm using the latest driver - the main job of the graphic card is gaming. I just thought about the possibility to use it for mining.

Regards

What driver are you using.  I think this miner works best with 15.7.1

Did a fast test but didn't get much higher results (X 1024 / X 512) and kernel from NH miner. Got 9.3-9.5 MH

Regards

Instead of -i 18. try  -X 512, -X 768 or -X 1024. There is a faster bin file out there. It is included in the nicehashminer in the sgminer 5.1.0 folder.

But I got only "bad numbers" at the pool, maybe something with the multiplier ,, I don't like to test any ^2 iteration ... :-(

Regards

Well this works too :

Not as bad but the load on the card is the same like the copied tahiti kernel and sgminer ..

Regards

Thanks this works :

copied qubitcoinTahitigw64l4ku0.bin to qubitcoinTongagw64l4ku0.bin (the name sgminer gave me after he tries to build a kernel by itself)

start sgminer with the options : -k qubitcoin --intensity 18 --worksize 64 -g 2
not sure about the options - was in the qubit-start.bat.

gave me this result:

GPU 0:  75.0C 1613RPM | 9.408M/9.287Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:27.144/m I:18

Thanks for the hints !

Regards

It was about time dude.

Slow, back to the drawing board (last updated in 2015)

Rename the tahiti binfile to get 12MHASH on the r9 380

I will try this evening ..

If there is no optimized kernel, isn't it possible to use standard openCL instructions ?

Regards

Can you try mine? I haven't got any feedback from Tonga users yet and I've been told it has nice instructions for AES!
Beware it's little more than a toy and for the time being I'm not even actively maintaining it. It's a strange beast and users have reported performance is quite odd.

Also try running some games in the background! I'm interested in keeping them smooth!

Probably not worth it since there are no optimized kernels for your Tonga card. Its best with Tahiti

Is it possible to mine QUBIt with a  Tonga (R9 380/380x) cards. ?

sgminer won't compile a kernel for it ... my fault , amd driver fault or just impossible at the moment ?

Regards
