Yeah did anyone test with R9 290 yet?
Any performance improvements?
Topic: [ANN] [sgminer] - version 4.0.0 (Read 18077 times)
can someone try this with a 290/290x?
This is the reddit entry it contains a link to the windows binarys.
I definetly recommend sgminer, but still I'll have to use catalyst 13.2 under WIN 8.1. With 14.1 the hashrates are decreasing from 974 to 873. Anyone some idea why?
can anyone post link to SGMINER windows exe

cgminer does work well for a lot of people, but if you're mining scrypt coins on your GPU then you're stuck with the 3.7.2 version (or earlier).
For me, I've had some issues with running both my R9 290's effectively under linux. So I'm hoping that sgminer may prove to be the way foward.
Since I originally started this topic thread, I've been looking at the source code in order to try and help resolve my problems. I currently believe that it's down to an AMD driver issue - but we'll have to see. Anyway, this has given me the opportunity to make my very own contributions to the project - so I'm hoping that they see the light of day in the near future!

This worked well for me. It's a re-compiled version of 3.7.0 with a patch for the r9 290 series cards.

You might be able to review the changes the submitter made, then incorporate them into sgminer.
Before sgminer, I tried those ohmpie fixes on cgminer, and they did help.
But those changes are already incorporated into sgminer. There are other issues with the R9 290 cards, and I believe them to be driver related (and not fixed by any mining software that I know of). I think there's been a bit of a re-factoring of the code base for sgminer, which should help in the future.

Personally it showed no improvement on my HD7850 card. Probably needs a lot of tweaking to find the better "Sweet spot" above 414 hash. But I like keeping current on my software. Thank you very much for providing it.
Hi. Just wanted to ask if you would care to share your exact settings and card model for the 7850 card that you claim do 414 khash. I just have two 7850, but they are the cheap xfx ones with 1gb memory and only one fan, and with high overclocks I reach about 385 khash. The temperature of my cards is then between 74-80C so I do not believe I can clock them any higher. But please share your settings if you like, cause I plan to pick up more cheap 7850 cards and sell off my 5-series cards while they still are alive and worth something.
xfx cards are very bad at scrypt mining. You can`t force them to make more then 390kh/s without burning them.

Can someone sell me on this; cgminer already works great. Will I see a benefit by switching to sgminer? Does it do anything 'better'?
Thanks

Yeah I got cgminer up and running. I too am new to linux so I'm sure it's something very simple

how do i build this in linux. i have everything downloaded including the dependencies.
autogen.sh isn't working

I am far from an expert in building linux software, but can you build cgminer? I was able to get that to build after some trial and error, but as I recall, sgminer didn't require anything additional.
I take it CUDAminer is still has hiher gains over this miner?

So I had some problems with cgminer and my two R9 290 cards in my first every mining rig. I've got the same problems with sgminer, but at least I can let the developer know and maybe help him find a fix. I'm not worried about performance improvements over the cgminer code base as such - at least, not yet!

Nice, just noticed this post and download and installed, will come in useful as i will be adding a second card this week and i want to be able to keep one mining at all time and when i want to play a few games stop mining on that so i can restart aftwards
yeah just copy your usual .bat file, rename it whatever. replace cgminer.exe with sgminer.exe and remove the --scrypt parameter. you'll be good to go
cool beans. so i can use it with my gpu. wasupp
