I have a bad news: I fixed X11 for 14.6 amd drivers.... (R9 290x speed 5.5MHash/s)  Grin
(insomnia... sometimes it is useful)

Is it available for download yet?
no, not yet (later today)

how much one 280x? 4mh/s? was at 3.350 before
don't know, I have only a 290x (in term of speed, it is a bit slower than my 780ti which run at 5.8MHash/s)

Damn someone should pay his dude for not releasing his miner again Cheesy

no worry nvidia still have an advantage due to low consumption, you can't optimized that via miner  Cheesy

Nope, you're wrong. If every AMD user updates his miner then the total hashrate increases, diff increases. We were left with the same hash, so lesser coins while AMD user has the same number of coins. Clearly disadvantage for nVidia.

the point is that nvidia remain more efficient at mining due to low watt, no matter the diff or the hash

i know that nvidia will get less because now amd are playing with us, but this is not what i meant

I love how, in this thread we try to convince one guy why he should release his new software, and we try to convince another guy why he shouldn't release his! Grin

Spot on!  Grin

(btw, my vote is for full disclosure - all software to be released in open source - just happier when the release meets the hardware that I own & run  Wink)

on a side note X13, isn't really fast, in the current implementation (which is funny as hamsi/fugue512 were direct port from opencl  Grin... well fugue512 was a mix of ccminer fugue256 and fugue512 opencl/sph code)... I really need to get my hand on "OpenCL for dummies"  Grin

I think you should take notes from Christian on how to use the improvements for a few weeks to make some coins before releasing to the masses...

Soon you will be known as the wrecker of coin profitability.

Even Intel and big chip companies are smart enough to release in batches to they can earn back their investments.

I have the same problem with Linux, but not every H81 BTC Pro board. ccminer crashed when using 6 cards and only with a few algos, e.g. JPC,NIST5.
X11 works without problem. So I found out that not every H81 BTC Pro Board has the same build quality. The reboot indicates that something wrong with the power connects to the board.
I know it's really stupid but I tried a lot of combination last months to find the problem. (I have 6 H81 BTC Pro boards).

I'm thinking about buying a H81 BTC Pro and hopefully I don't run into any issues.

Did you also give power to BOTH of the molex connectors on the motherboard? I know some people say "you don't need to if you're supplying power to the risers!" but it's always good to plug it in and test in case you haven't.

I run a H81 BTC Pro with 6 EVGA 750Ti's (without the 6-pin PCI-E power), I have 5 cards on 16x-1x powered risers, and the 1 card in the x16 slot on a 16x-16x unpowered riser. Rig has been running flawelessly for nearly 4 months now!

Of course I need to plug two molex connectors to the board otherwise the board autorestarts itself if you run ccminer/cudaminer for every algo.
I have 6 of this board and only two of them still giving me trouble. The worst algo is JPC in my experience.
I use for all card USB power riser from same brand, but I notice from those Chinese quality you can't expect much.
I still have found out the reason for these 2 trouble boards, but from my test I can conclude that ccminer/cudaminer works fine.



thanks guys. sounds like powered risers may be the answer.

With that amount of RAM needed it sounds like it's designed to be low and mid-end PC resistant too.  Cheesy

the first coin exclusively designed to run on amazon EC2. Nice.


The amount of Ram needed is kinda an easy fix. Just point your vram at an internal flashcard of 32GB and you are all set...maybe some messing with RAM Hog, but that shouldn't be a show stopper. It may be a bit slower than actual RAM, but it won't be that much slower especially if it is internal and probably low latency with USB3.

Just google: using flash as ram...and you will get a ton of advice from like 6 years ago even...



So my SSD will do just fine? Tongue
Maybe if you have it set as VRAM
VRAM ? you mean video ram ? How do you do that ? (I have only crappy memory stick... (however I have some sdhc card, may-be that would do it... but it would get connected through USB2 )

Interesting development or not? I know nothing about FPGAs, except that they're the third step in the mining device chain, if I'm not mistaken (CPU -> GPU -> FPGA -> ASIC).

I'm not sure it will effect the mining community too much. This is going to be big news for places doing any sort of virtualization, especially network layer. Hardware network gear makes heavy use of FPGAs/ASICs to handle the majority of the routing/switching that goes on in the platform and the CPU is really just there to observe things. VMWare (maybe others...we're a VMWare shop) came out with NSX that handles a lot of networking in software, it's really flexible but it means the CPU on each server is having to handle those route/switch operations. If you could off-load that work to a FPGA you get back CPU time and can start getting into the 40-100GB+ realm with decent latency.

You might also see them used to handle crypto needs for things like SSL/password hashing/other offload needs. CPU time is still the reason some people are using RC4 when dealing with SSL or SHA1+salt hashing passwords stored in a DB. A general purpose device that could accelerate all those operations, allow for stronger algorithms AND reduce CPU overhead is a win for all parties.
