Good job Fr0z7y! I would think that you would get better than 3.5 mh/s. When you have some time you can slowly try to increase your gpu-engine and after you find the best performance then slowly try to increase your xintensity.

Happy mining  

i did what you said about the config file, it loaded it, found wolf0 to be using xintensity=128, added the rest of the code necessary, made sure it was tidy, again this is only an r9 270 not the 270x version, which i saw he was only getting roughly 4.2 mh/s from his reddit post, so i am guessing that it is fine that i am only getting 3.5 mh/s correct, considering this is also the only video card in the machine. i did change the thread conc to 8192, but other than that, the rest of it is the same (changed intensity=20 to xintensity=128).

if that is all i'm going to get out of it, or the only actual settings i need to mess with (even after restarting and all) then i am happy, as it is performing beautifully then. will tip out of some of the dark coin i make off of this card ;p

thank you again wolf0 and everyone else for helping no0obz like me!

yeah, xintensity overrides regular intensity, and raw intensity overrides xintensity, so raw intensity>xintensity>intensity in forms of which one the program utilizes, i don't know if i should be using that low of an xintensity, or if i should just use the regular intensity, that part i know i can remove, as it says that experimental is not quite tested properly. i saw that someone said to use 8k thread concurrency as well, i'm wondering what else should be changed for a radeon r9 270, as in what settings i should be using with this specific version of sgminer (5.1.1 with wolf0's bin files) any help would be appreciated. that current setup is again, still getting only 3.5 mh/s.

I dont think you can have xintensity and intensity running at the same time- your .bat and .conf file's might be conflicting since one has xintensity and the other intensity.

You are not using the sgminer.conf at all. Redundancy is not necessary, To use your sgminer.conf change your bat to this:


If your sgminer.conf is not in the same folder as the sgminer.exe you need to specify the path.
Something like this:
sgminer.exe --config C:\programs\miners\sgminer.conf

okay guys, i was just reading the last two pages of someone that had the r9 280x and he was getting something like 6 mh/s with this batch/config setup and the updated .bin files from wolf0 (thank you again, i will be donating some btc when i get this working) but i am currently only getting 3.5~ mh/s with my r9 270 Gaming G2 2g of ddr5. i know from what you are saying this isn't proper, so if you can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. any settings, thread con, intensity levels, whatever, would be awesome.


i'm not totally sure, but i also think that it's not necessary to have some of it in the batch file that is already in the config file, just wondering if that redundancy is necessary, or what can i take out of it. i have read through all the readmes and even scoured the internet for a couple hours looking up the stuff i forgot while on vacation to come up with this and to make the config/batch files as i kinda wasn't sure about the whole thing since it's been a few months since i had to do one, almost a year really.

anywho, yes, i know i have only one pool atm (which i left out the username password and pool) i know how to add those in now, but honestly, i was only getting like 1.5mh/s max with regular darkcoin, not darkcoin-mod, algorithm, then with darkcoin-mod got 2.2, then did this stuff to the conf and batch and added in the wolf0 bins properly and got to the current 3.5 mh/s.

machine specs are a gigabyte 990fxa ud5 r5 (the newest gen board) a dual core athlon 64 i think like 2.2 mhz performing like 3 mhz, and 8 gigs of 1333 ddr3. i have it running 6 gridseeds and 2 rockminers through multiminer. while this sgminer is running at 3.5 mh/s i am still able to use the computer properly, as if it's not running, like it's still really responsive, i just don't want to overload the video card in case i need to use it to fix something on multiminer.

i wouldnt mind having it run at 4 or 5 mh/s (if that's possible or should be possible as it's not much different than a 280) yet still be responsive, not sluggish. that is the only video card in the computer.

thank you for any help, it is much appreciated,

Hi guys can someone help me with a link for rusian bins

Thx in advance

Please, command line HD 6950 2gb. X13??  Default .bin??

thats great - 6.55MH is nice ...

though if you run this miner with nicehash ( or other stratums with extranonce2 bits ) you may come across disconnection issues ...

i would change - "no-extranonce" : true, - to - "no-extranonce" : false, ... and possibly ( though i am unsure fo what this will do - if anything at all ) - "thread-concurrency" : "0", - to - "thread-concurrency" : "8192", ...

but - great hashrate ... i knew the gpu-clock could be pushed more on that card ... the gigabyte doesnt go any further than 1100 without it becoming unstable ...

#crysx

Thanks for help, i ended up with 6.55Mh/s on X11 R9 280x Vapor

this is the config i have now, maybe it needs more tweaks...

yup - it got figured out - and started working ...

but i wasnt sure of the denominations ...

tanx for clearing that up ...

#crysx

now that we let this so far, let's make it clear:
the "4" and "8" of the bin filenames is related to the long integer size (32 and 64 bit, respectively; 4*8 and 8*, not the operating system.
thing is, windows usually has 32 bit precompiled miners and linux compiles his own miners and they usually are 64 bit.
bin files made for 32 bit miners (thus ending with "4") should work on 64 bit miners (at least as far as wolf0's x?? kernels), not the opposite of course.

that was my fault pallas ... i asked him to post here and it all ended up working ...

i confused the '4' and '8' between linux and windows - and advised him incorrectly ...

all good now ...

#crysx

just have a look at the nicehash web site:

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#sgminer

it's no secret ;-)

When you started sgminer with those settings it produced a bin file in your sgminer directory that looks something like this:
darkcoin-modTahitigw64l8ku0.bin

Rename Wolf0's bin so that it's identical to the one in your sgminer directory and put his in the sgminer directory.

Start sgminer and you should get about a 6 Mh/s X11 hash rate.

Hi anyone can share wolfs bins for Windows ? thanks

And please what is correct procedure to use Wolf0's optimized bins ? step by step?

kool ...

where did you get the optimized bins ( so we can test the exact same ones ) ? ...
