Hi guys,

I decided to upgrade my 7950's to 280x's but I'm having a mare with AMD drivers.

Also I can't remember the relationship between driver and SDK.

What driver and SDK should I install on Windows 8.1 ?

Many thanks

Lee

Newest version of both will work fine

Thanks for the quick response - downloading now...

So I used DDU in safe mode to uninstall old driver.
Then installed radeon-crimson-15.12-win8.1-64bit.exe
Then AMD SDK 3.0

I am getting the following error which looks like a SDK issue.

[2016-01-28 23:11:50] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[2016-01-28 23:11:50] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

GPU-Z shows the OpenCL driver is there adn I can see the card in device manager.

Any ideas ?

Got it working with :-

--gpu-platform 1

Anyone know why I need this now ?

You have onboard graphics...using this option makes sgminer use your gpu's instead of onboard

Did anything ever happen with trying to add blake256? Decred is coming out and id like to use sgminer to mine instead of their forked cgminer because sgminer plays nicely with my gpu and i can monitor temp and control the fan.

Feel free to build and benchmark Decred's cgminer fork (( https://github.com/decred/cgminer )) . Could use some data on hardware performance. Testnet and miner binaries will be out tomorrow morning!

i hope that wolf0 can make something about this......

i hope WOLF0 will make a good pablic algo for decred coin when the mining will start.....

ps: wolf0 u must know that u r my favorite...U prove yr work with facts & not with many sauces.....THANKS FOR ALL!

I hope Wolf0 will prove me wrong, but I fear there is not a lot to optimise on blake 14 rounds.

I might be able to prove you half wrong. Got a 6970?

No, smallest card I have is a 280x

Too bad, I could probably make that thing do wonders on Blake. I've got an idea!

Maybe a 5750 (juniper) will do? :-)

Got a 78** Series. Maybe that'll do?

Nope, Fiji is GCN based. No go.

Has someone been testing the hash-power of R9 Nano , on Ethereum ?

Sure

I have

26Mh stock

Pf, I've expected some more improvement , compared to 7970/280X

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/16112/#Comment_16112

"I have a Nano. HBM does you no good for ethash. HBM memory cycle time (effective) is the same as GDDR5 cards, although GDDR5 has higher latency. The advantage of HBM is that it has a 4096 bit wide bus, so the *bandwidth* is much higher, not the access time, which is what's critical for ethash. The issue is that ethash does more or less random 128 byte reads of the Dag at the core of the inner loop, which can't take advantage of HBM's super wide bus. That is compounded by the fact that the address of the next read (of the Dag) is computed from the 128 byte Dag currently being "mixed', so pre-fetch isn't happening to any significant degree. The algorithm's memory accesses also render memory caching of limited use. Starting to get the picture?

The GPU does overlap global memory accesses with compute work, so some of the memory access time is hidden, but that has nothing to do with HBM. The fact is ethash is a bugger, period."
