Hello all,

I have an ati 6870, the older sgminer v4 version gives me 1,5mh and this version only gives me 250kh mining x11. This version doesn't work with 5000/6000series?

Anyone with an old GPU can mine with this version?

Thank you.
well i don't know exactly what has changed but it seems i get the best hash rate (700-750kh/s) on my 6850's (sorry thought they were 5850's) on
Code:
"algorithm" : "darkcoin",
"intensity" : "17",
and
Code:
"algorithm" : "darkcoin-mod",
"intensity" : "17",
"blake-compact" : false,
"keccak-unroll" : "0",
"luffa-parallel" : false,
does the best for the darkcoin-mod (still at least 100kh/s less than darkcoin)
i could have sworn i had x11 hashing at at least 100kh/s higher than i can get it now on these cards (900-950kh/s)
also i have my clocks at 950/1100 at the moment

Nop only 230kh with this settings in my 6870. Well if it helps i have 13.12 drivers.

Clocks 980/1100

Oh badman...I just remembered...this version of your miner I am using also has the split .conf feature.

So:

It's from your sig right about the time you started placing your newest builds in your sig. It was one that you compiled win binaries for before your system broke if I remember correctly.
File name sgminer_v5_0.zip
Uses "kernel"
SGMiner 4.2.2-254-gfdd4
Has darkcoin-mod.cl
Utilizes the 14.6 driver
Split .conf feature


Here is the link to this (as above) algo switching SGminer V5 miner I am using (an old one of badman's) confirmed working and stable with AMD 5870 for algo's X11, X13, X15, & Ndist5. Vista x32 & x64, 13.12 & 14.6 drivers. Also includes my working .conf for TMB:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nm7xqn8jrn7t1ha/sgminer_v5_0%20-%20Copy.zip

I know I'm a newb here and my saying so doesn't mean much, but the DL is clean, I haven't messed with it. (unless badman whacked on it before I got it Tongue )

Same thing with my 6870... I tried some different settings and always only get 230kh with darkcoin-mod kernel, with darkcoin kernel i get 1 megahash. With the older sgminer v4 version with x11mod i get 1,5megahash.

Thank you anyway!

With my 7850s I had to run -g 1 on them or else they lock up with -g 2

It was a hell of a pita to get them to mine with the SGMiner 5.xxxx to be honest.... but a clean reinstall paired with installing the AMD drivers BEFORE I installed VNC did the trick.... that and the flag.

I would also try the worksize of 64. I get much better hash with all my cards... ranging from the 7770, 6950, 260x, 7850, and 270x.... all with that worksize.
ya i tried all different work sizes and thread counts as well but i almost always end up with 2 threads and 64 worksize

reza...check my last post above ^^^...I have edited it to include a DL of badman's miner, the one I am using, if you want to try it.

my 5970 card work with normal sgminer 4.1.0 x11mod,x13modold,nist5mod kernel but dont work with sgminer 5 and x15 kernel(bitblockold)

but dont work and driver crash with sgminer 5 simple i mining with 4336,3336 port in nicehash with darkcoin-mod kernel
If you're saying this window is of the x15 algo that's not working, you need to use bitblockold.cl

NEVERMIND - I don't under stand "dont work and driver crash with sgminer 5 simple i mining with 4336,3336 port in nicehash with darkcoin-mod kernel"
only dont work with sgminer5.
if it crashes your drivers it sounds like a problem with your clock speeds

my 5970 clock 830/1000
work fine with other sgminer  but my problem with sgminer 5 .

I can say it did drastically increase the hash rate of my 7950, along with the 14.6 RC2 driver.

The 7950 went from ~ 2.2mhs to 2.8mhs (x11). It brought my 5870's from ~1.3mhs to 1.75mhs, again with the same 13.12 driver as my prior miners.

Also note I run the 7950 at a low 850/1100.
i know there is something up because i remember wlast time i had my 5850's running they only got 500kh/s while my 7750's are at 900kh/s
before the 5850's were at least 2x as fast as the 7750's

The 7950 went from ~ 2.2mhs to 2.8mhs (x11). It brought my 5870's (all by itself - same driver) from ~1.3mhs to 1.75mhs (x11), with the same 13.12 driver as my prior miners (lasybears x11mod).

Also note I run the 7950 at a low 850/1100, like the 5870's 850/1200.


I also might add:

In one system I am running a 7950 on 14.6 RC2 driver (in the miner folder) with a 5870 on 13.12 driver (the system driver), same miner for both.

On another system I run (2) 5870's on 13.12 driver and the same miner as above.

It does have the darkcoin-mod.cl though, and def requires "kernel" to run. When I first started it up I used "algo" and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it would build the proper bins, then tried 'kernel" and has been perfect since. I remember I got it from your sig right about the time you started placing your newest builds in your sig. It was one that you compiled win binaries for before your system broke if I remember correctly.

I can post a copy of it if it would help you identify it. It was named simply - sgminer_v5_0 -

The sgminer window states:

sgminer 4.2.2-254-gfdd4
that may have been from before the 14.6 comparability changes(cant remember for sure)

Read again ^^^

We'll have to wait and see if badman can help.
I'll see if I can figure out why it's slow when I get home
I have a pair of 5850's sitting around not doing anything
if you are using kernel then it is an old version of sph-sgminer running darkcoin.cl instead of darkcoin-mod.cl

To the AMD 5/6000 guys... I have no problems running 5870's with Vista x64 & x32 - SGM v5 - 13.12 or 14.6RC drivers and switching between x11, x13, x15, ndist5 with no problems. Stable for days on end. I do get slightly better hash rate on the 13.12 drivers. I am getting ~ 1.75mhs x11, 1.35 x13, 1.15 x15 and 7.5 ndist5.

The thing is I really don't which version of the miner I am running. I got the win binaries download from badman's sig a while back. All I can tell from it is I need to use "kernel" rather than "algo".


@badman...is there anyway for me to tell what version I have?





what version you have?
