Hehe, for what ? mining with gpu is over.


It depends on GFX cards, electricity price and which coin.

It was only the wind.
all that stuff about advanced code is fishermen's talk,
what beats me why so drastic fall of performance with 14.9
on badman's mod with public kernels




Probably AMD changed something small in the compiler - not sure if the one doing AMD IL -> ISA is on the card or not, but if it's the driver (and I think it is) even a small change could make that mess slow to a crawl.

What's this neoscrypt bullshit about?


Its a new algo that aim to delay ASIC...

Wolf0,

You have beneficiate from other's work and experiments.
Now that you made some good advances please share your work.
We all anonimous miners will appreciate your generosity and sharing.

Thanks

This argument again. You benefit from using a car; I demand you pay Henry Ford's children. There's nothing wrong with not reinventing the wheel.

Could someone give the config file for X15 with kernel.
R9 280x.

can anyone please provide link for latest x11 miner with good speed for r9 280x

Link to the latest miner is in badman74's sig.

Huh   one guy got
 above 5.7MH/s stable with my 280X on X11, using a kernel I heavily modified.
290X is getting 6.5MH/s at (almost) stock clocks, that is, 1000/1500.
7950 pulling around 4.87MH/s at 1120/1500.
And 270X getting 3.53MH/s at 1150/1500.

who knows to get it?

Not me.  Would love to know.

Not released - people seem to read hashrates and no other text or posts.

Does anyone know how to change GPU clockspeed/memory speeds using sgminer 5? Attempting to do so through sgminer or even msi afterburner does nothing to the clockspeeds at all.

I always use --gpu-engine and --gpu-memclock...

I do use that, in both the config and the .bat file-no speed changes at all.

What GPU?

All of them Tongue. 2X 280x's and one 7990. They all run at their stock speeds. 14.7 drivers, win 7 64bit.

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.
Has anyone noticed how the queue setting keeps changing itself ?

I've seen this with 5.0/4.22, the Nicehash version and Wolf0's 5.0.

maybe i messed smthing on my system but why ./configure can't find 2.9.1 APP SDK ?
hero member
Activity: 672
Merit: 500
Can't remember, smthing about builing binary opencl files (miner starts but can't build *.bin files).
Again i fixed this by rebuilding miner with ADL SDK 6.0 (error was when i first tried with ADL 7.0 headers)

bottom line: miner is not compatible with the latest AMD drivers/SDKs
hero member
Activity: 672
Merit: 500
What includes? And how?

ps i overcome this problem by installing previous APP SDK (2.9), compile completed OK but miner can't compile .cl files now Sad(

I need help compiling this miner for linux, after ./configure i got error:

OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED

but i have amd drivers (fglrx-14.301.1001) and AMD APP SDK (AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64) installed:

$ clinfo
Number of platforms:             1
  Platform Profile:             FULL_PROFILE
  Platform Version:             OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1573.4)
  Platform Name:             AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

Anybody tried R9 285? The new amd card?

I haven't touched the code to SGMiner itself

A single line I changed to this:

Code:
	const char *cmd ="cmdp";

otherwise VS couldn't compile in my case

just the CL files - that's where most of the important stuff is.

It's full of cabalistic math, is any special skill or secret required!?  )) joking

Hi guys
What is the best/fastest gpu/amd miner software today
And is it profitable to mine x13, x11 etc this day ?

The fastest publicly available X-algo miner for AMD GPUs is most probably badman74's modded sgminer-v5 (get it here https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer) ... some additional optimizations of various CL kernels were done by various individuals, but weren't publicly released. And you can get some decent income if you point it to NiceHash multi-algo service https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo.

Do git clone --recursive https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git to get sgminer instead of downloading it the way you are, or use git submodule init and git submodule update before configuring
still not working Sad
still shows you dont have jasson... in mingw shell, goto your sgminer dir and enter git submodule update --init and see if it downloads it if not then there is a problem with git
i have to open a git shell separately (not the one i use for mingw) then use git submodule update --init, then go back to mingw and do the rest from autoreconf -fvi on

Thanks,

I got jansson installed now. Do version numbers matter here? i did the submodule update on sgminer folder, but now it doesn't find OpenCL after configure.

Gonna try to redo it.
not really... for some reason i cant get my fork of sgminer to show 5.0.0
only way i could do it as far as i have found would be to delete my repo and refork it then add my changes back

Duuuuuude. I know you probably brain farted here... but *facepaw*

Try grepping master of the official sgminer git for the version message. Do the same with with yours. Copy. Paste.
ehhh what's grepping?
the extent of my actual programming knowledge is computer basic learned about 25 years ago
i did add 5.0.0 tags and release to my fork but it didn't help
still a newbie at github controls

I cloned your master, compiled it, dumped the version, then searched for it. Only the object file and binary file matched, meaning that the version is not in the source - it's from git. You could always use --disable-git-version - I'm pretty sure that'll do it.
I knew that but it annoys me that the git version isn't showing 5.0.0 like it should

Yeah, I see. Damn, I'm good with code, but I haven't really learned git too well.
