It was only the wind.
Since people are speculating about what I'm getting on Neoscrypt and the power usage, my absolute highest performance numbers (for now) I saved. This is totally disregarding power use.

905kh/s for 850W.

Details (nsfw), are here: https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-11072014.png

I'll take efficiency numbers in a bit. It was fun cranking that 280X to 1800 on the memclock - I'm surprised it hashes...

Back for efficiency numbers. This is going to be kind of funny, since I found a better tune (same kernel) in the meantime, but...

900kh/s for 620W.

Yep. That tune helped. Details on what cards got what hashrates, voltages, and other info is here (nsfw): https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-11072014-2.png

So the new neoscrypt kernel "isn't released yet", but the hashrate on most of the neoscrypt coins has doubled in the last few hours..

Is that's how it's gonna be?  Know someone to get the new kernel?

Nope. It's here: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/neoscrypt.cl

Worksize should be 64, don't bother setting TC, GPU threads 2. Basically the same as my earlier screenshot.
Thank you, dear))
256 @ 7970
240 @ 280x
Would be nice if you share a little informations ,such as :
-Your OS ?
-Your SGminer version ?
-Your AMD driver version ?
I could mine as higher speed but more HW also

PiMP 1.4
CGMiner 5.0.0
14.6
Thanks buddy
Hi Guys, I have a decomissioned 5card 270x rig.  Is it worth setting it back up and running the wolf neoscrypt kernel or latest X11 kernel on it?  Might be marginally worth it by my calcs but looking for some real world current input.  If so which sgminer and AMD driver to use with the above kernel?  Also, which multipool to use for neoscrypt?  Currently use trademybit.

Someone have a solution for 290 non-x  i can only get 250khs but with my 280x and 7970s i get 280khs anyone Huh

For a 290 (non-x) with hynix memory, settings 11/96/4 with clocking 1110/1475 will get you ~283k.

I heard of some .cl files that gives in x11 algo 7Mh/s out of a R9 280X. What's true about this?
yes
where to get it?

I have an interesting phenomenom with neoscrypt, on 280x.

With intensity 13, I get about 298kh/s stable. If I then lower intensity to 12, hashrate rises to 305kh/s and stays there.

However, if I start sgminer directly with intensity=12, hashrate is only 270kh/s or so, and does not rise any higher.. Sad So it need to go through intensity 13, then lower to 12 to get max speed.

This is with latest sgminer develop version, Wolf's kernel, catalyst 14.6.
 
Are you saying one 280x?I got only 150k/s with one-280x. What;s your config?

I get about 250kh/s per 280x using wolf0's kernel file, 1070/1600 2 threads, 8192 tc, 14.7 drivers

Hi yall, i have 5x280x by sapphire, its hasn't been running for more than a month. I was using guiminer and pointing to coinshift but the cards can't connect anymore. So now i want to get them running again, best thing would probably be to get my rig on another profit switching multipool, im considering multipool.us at this point and ofcourse i'll need a miner that can handle the switching to different algorithms. Could you guys please link me to the best one out there for my needs?  It has to be a very stable miner and preferrably with gui, thx!!

If this is a dedicated rig simply get PiMP on an USB stick, activate NiceHash/WestHash multi-algo profile and you're ready to go (with a simple GUI Wink )

Hey man, thx for the suggestion!
I've been trying to get this to work but unsuccesfull so far,
First of all i'm running win8.1 64 bit, catalyst 13.12 and sdk 2.9. According to getpimp 1.6.0 32 bit for 14.6 would be the best version for amd cards. I downloaded the 1.6.0 (32) / 14.6 hoping that a 14.6 file is included as i can't find it on the amd website, when i tried to extract it i got an error message saying it's invalid, so now i'm downloading the 13.12 version to see if that one works. But since 14.6 is supposed to be better i want that to work. 
So, what do i need to do? Install 14.6 separately? If so, can anyone link me to the optimal version for pimp?
Update to sdk 2.9.1 from 2.9?
And how the hell do i get pimp to install properly on my ssd which contains  my windows installation since i don't have a spare usb stick, will it delete all of my ssd's content?

Same here!

In my case at i13 I have lots oh HW errors, but after lowering intensity to 12, hashrate remains the same as in i13 but no more HW errors...

But after a few minutes hashrate starts to slow down to i12 expected speeds.

So what hashes are we getting on average? I've got my 280x (1030/1500) running at ~270Khs on neoscrypt using Wolf0's kernel.



From the 280x to the 290x, the biggest difference is the memory.

270k is good on a 280x with elpida memory, 290k is good with hynix, even more in you start playing with the clocks.

My 290 with hynix, and my 290x with elpida get just under 300k each, with some room on the clocks for improvement.

I finally got Neoscrypt working last night. Still playing with the optimizations, but here are my results; GPU0 is an Elpida 290X, the other three are Hynix 290X's.

GPU0   286 khash
GPU1   312 khash
GPU2   310 khash
GPU3   310 khash
Xintensity   100
Worksize   48
Lookup Gap   4
Vectors   1
GPU Threads   1
Thread Concurrency   27400
Engine 0   919
Engine 1   1040
Engine 2   1020
Engine 3   1020
Memory 0   1500
Memory 1   1498
Memory 2   1500
Memory 3   1500

Running 14.6 or 14.7 drivers on Win7 64-bit (I forget which).

Yeah I just corrected the source about 7hrs ago.
my build is now updated as well

Updated sgminer-5.1-dev builds are now also available on NiceHash download page: https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

BTW: every time a change is applied to sgminer-dev/master or sgminer-dev/develop branch, new builds are automatically generated around 03:00 UTC and are available here: https://www.nicehash.com/software/nightly/

badman74, your fork is now essentially the same as sgminer-dev/develop branch. The sgminer-dev/develop branch is intended for exactly the same thing as your fork - tuning, optimizations and new features. It would be great if you would simply code your changes in the sgminer-dev/develop branch instead of your own fork ... less work for others to merge stuff into sgminer-dev/develop branch.
the changes i made to mine were added to sgminer 5.1.0-dev anyway
but mine is based off of the master branch not the dev branch
