Huh?
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.

Haha...

Anyway..

Technically Karl Benz invented the 'first' car...  Grin

Much of the issues with switching and sick GPUs can be solved by lowering the tuning of their gpu engine and memclock and perhaps even intensity!

You... say that... like it's a novel concept. It also lowers hashrate, usually by a lot, at least in the case of intensity.

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

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.

Are you guy's using 2bg ram or 4gb to sustain these hash rates ?

I have Freya running 4GB, but mostly because she used to be a Windows miner. Were I to build a new rig, I would probably use 2GB. Unfortunately, I can't test a 2GB configuration as all the DDR3 I have is 4GB or 8GB sticks.

Has anyone tried the new 14.9 drivers? I have and seem to take a hit with my 270x on x11.... from 2.9-3.1 to 2.6 ouch.
I am Third hashrate low from 3.1 to 2.56 on R9 270X on 14.9
me too: 270x - 2.93mh (with driver 14.7) ==> ~2.45Mh (with driver 14.9).

And sgminer_v5_0_mod (modded for extra hashs) up speed only ~2% on x11 do 3.02Mh

Can also confirm lost 2 MH/s total mining X11 combined with my 3x R9 270s and my 1x R9 280X on 14.9 drivers

All right, then I'm sure I fucked up my test somehow.

Did you delete the old .bin's from whatever drivers you had before, and had new ones generated for 14.9 drivers?

Of course I did. I'm gonna re-do the test now, though. 14.6 vs. 14.9 on both my X11 kernels.

Ooookay... this is odd. The hashrate changed - so it seems the driver did as well. Further, I fetched the date on fglrx each time before starting (14.6 being May 29 2014 and 14.9 being Sept 2 2014) so it DID change. As for the bin files, yes, I removed them; I double-checked. Anyway, Savage, this is what I've got, columns are GPU/clocks/mine/stock, rows are obviously GPUs.

Code:
Running driver version 14.6:
270X - 1155/1500 - 3.64 - 2.80
290X - 1045/1600 - 7.96 - 4.86
7950 - 1155/1500 - 5.03 - 4.01
280X - 1155/1500 - 5.77 - 4.54


Running driver version 14.9:
270X - 1155/1500 - 3.64 - 2.80
290X - 1045/1600 - 7.98 - 4.95
7950 - 1155/1500 - 5.03 - 4.05
280X - 1155/1500 - 5.75 - 4.60

Can you tell me how to get this hashrate? I can't compile the code, so , sad,ad,

Installing now, will report.

EDIT: My 270X went from 3.58 to 3.62 - hardly seems like a change at all.

...

How you do this?

You did not read everthing !!!
EDIT4: Confirmed with two people on IRC - stock SG5 kernel takes a substantial hit on at least R9 270 and 7950 with 14.9.

Your mom is good with my code.

Ha, seriously? Are you 12 years old or something??

Ha Ha Ha thats' exactly what i thought, I took platinum4 as kind of middle aged well educated but i am obviously very wrong.

Interesting... I noticed that Tahiti chips seemed to be the only AMD chips 7 series and up that ran faster when keccak was unrolled partially - which is what badman74's "keccak-unroll" option is for. Before, I simply used the preprocessor to detect what chip the CL file was being compiled for, basically, #ifdef __Tahiti__, then do a partial unroll, otherwise, full unroll. (You can find the details on that little trick in the AMD APP OpenCL Programming Guide - specifically Appendix A.8.12 in the November 2013 version.) Anyway, there is something about the Keccak-512 implementation in SGMiner (and also in my implementation, up until about a half hour ago), that Tahiti really doesn't seem to like. With a few edits, Tahiti will actually not only tolerate a full unroll - it will hash faster with one than it did before with the partial unroll! Pitcairn and Hawaii chips, predictably, could not give a fuck less about the change; they have exactly the same speeds.

When compiling SGminer 5 in cygwin, I can start sgminer but doesn't detect temps etc. I followed the guide to a tea, putting the ADL_SDK in the correct place. I tried both versions of ADL_SDK, with no luck. I've done this fine in Linux, can anyone else get it working in cygwin?

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

EDIT2: I'm on IRC - a friend of mine says stock miner DOES, in fact, take a substantial hit.

EDIT3: He's an idiot and was mining XMR at the same time lol. He's re-testing.

My miner whilst connected to NH auto said "connection reset by peer",  does that mean it was my end of NH end that causes the disconnection

Don't use it - use TeamViewer or something.

Guess that is one way ,,, I have been using team viewer but it's so slow and small compared ,,,

So if the temp's and fan speed don't show, does that mean they are not there or do they still work in the background ?

I'm pretty sure that attempting to use it fucks ADL in some way.

Hello everyone,

I have 270x and 280x.

What hash rates can I expect on x11, x13, x15 and nist5 from these cards.
What config should I use to get the best hash. Which version of sgminer 5 and ati drivers version.

Thank you very much for the help.
