i have heard that scrypt/scryptn works best on 13.x drivers

I can confirm that. Running 13.12 give best Scrypt hash rates, while 14.7 gives much better hash rates for the X-algorithms. Because most people don't mine Scrypt using GPU anymore, this isn't much of a problem.

The only drawback of upgrading to 14.7 is that GPU memory speed cannot be changed anymore.

Anyone get a chance to try the 14.7 RC3 drivers?

I can't get scrypt-n working, all of the other algos switch flawlessly and nice hashrates, but i get constant HW errors and rejected shares with scrypt-n, and sometimes it just crashes the whole pc.

I'm using 14.6 b2 drivers.

Your cards may be overclocked too high.

They're at stock right now, I can get the miner running but i'm getting 100% rejected shares above target. I'm guessing it really doesn't like the zuikkis kernel.

I think it has to do with drivers and sgminer 5 combination. I have never been able to get the same hashrates I was getting on sgminer 4.2.2 / 13.x drivers. Might also want to try vertmner. To get my scrypt-n at least stable, I had to start with low intensity and slowly ramp it up til I got to an approximate max without getting unstable, but it was still notably less than the hashrates I used to get on previous versions with scrypt-n. The tradeoff here is that X11, X13, X15, Nist5 are all running faster than before.

sgminer v5 doesnt seems to work for my AMD GPU cards, my PC hangs completly, and i have to manual restart

Can you help me ?
Cards that needs to be supported are:

HD5800
HD5870
HD5970

Windows 7 64bit
GPU drivers tested: v13.12; 14.4; 14.6

Do you guys have some config that works on these cards ?

Stats:

There is no progress for old HD5XXX cards.
No X15 mining.
My pc just freezes to white screen, or just become unresponsive.
No matter what i combine, what kernel or config i use.

If someone has experience or knowledge to help me i'be very grateful.

Present speed that i can run Sgminer on algos X11 and X13 is:

X11
HD5850 =1900
HD5870 =1750
HD5970 =1750+1750=3500

X13
HD5850 =1300
HD5870 =1150
HD5970 =1200+1200=2400

Anyone in this forum knows how to mine X15 with gpu's mentioned above ? Thnaks

since i don't own any of those cards i cant test anything specifically
but have you tried my mod, lowering intensity, clocks, or trying bitblockold?

try "algorithm" : "alexkarnew", it still gives me a few HW errors but hashes fine

Setting clocks above def. works fine, underclocking doesn't work. I read it's a catalyst problem...it seems no one has a solution Sad

with "unofficial oc mode without pp support" selected in AfterBurner, miner is able to under/over clock for me.

mine is set to "unofficial oc mode with pp support" and it works as well

‘Try to be nice’

Hey guys Bitfreak woudl love if you guys created a GPU AMD miner for this

7 algo Hash

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annxcn-cryptonite-1st-mini-blockchain-coin-m7-pow-no-premine-713538

It relates to a very innovative crypto that has a "Mini" block-chain , it's quite literally a word first.

the 7 algos are outlined here : http://cryptonite.info/wiki/index.php?title=M7_PoW

The magnificent 7:

   SHA-256
   SHA-512
   Keccak
   RIPEMD
   HAVAL
   Tiger
   Whirlpool

The M7 PoW algorithm can be generalized as the following, where h = header:

SHA-256(SHA-256(h)*SHA-512(h)*Keccak(h)*Ripemd(h)*Haval(h)*Tiger(h)*Whirlpool(h))

Yes, I'm using your builds. It's somehow related to driver+software combination, because with older drivers it's working fine. I have Sapphire R9 280x, Powercolor 280x and Gigabyte/Xfx 290 with same problem, but with His R9 270 it's working... all rigs with same latest beta drivers 14.7 RC ( Asrock H81, 6Gpu's per board )

i posted an updated build today (fixed a few algo's i previously broke plus added some fixes from v5_0 branch)
if nothing else you will want to get this build to fix some of the lesser used algo's, also the v5_0 fixes may help (don't remember what they fixed at the moment)

actually it seems to work fine for me.... even on my pimp miners
are you using one of my builds?
if you are building yourself try getting adl_sdk 7

I've been able to set clocks in sgminer with profiles.conf above the stock clocks; have not tried it below the stock value however.

Has anyone find a way to downclock cards ( without Bios mods ) with 14.6 or newer drivers ? I found it broken and not working, voltage adjustments works fine. Some algos don't benefit from high mem clocks, and with downclocking you can save power consumption.

you can do it with msi afterburner but i dont think it is currently possible to get sgminer to do it itself

Nope, afterburner or trixx don't work, as soon as you run sgminer or other mining software it goes to default clock values. With 14.4 and lower drivers it all works fine.

remove all references to your clocks from your config first
set clocks with afterburner/trixx
run sgminer
worked for me
not sure really why it wont go lower than default normally
