i dont think its to do with efficiency - but rather optimization FOR the card itself ...
im sure if you use wolf's binaries with sgminer - you will out do the 2MH on x11 with that card ...

I'm Windows 8...sorry I can't help with your Fedora dilemma!
Reassuring to know that I'm doing alright for a R9 270. Cheers.
does spreadminer allow for the gpu and mem clock oc? ...
if so - you will probably find that you can squeeze a bit more out ...
otherwise - use afterburner ( i think is the windows one ) ...
but for x11 - i would strongly advise you use the latest version of sgminer ( 5.1.1-17-g6666 ) and use wolfs bin's ...

Yes, spreadminer allows for gpu and mem clock oc. My card is rated at 1050 for GPU clock and 1500 for memory clock. I'm running quite a bit over that more by accident than design. I was playing with settings and stumbled across values which are stable and the fan can handle.
GPU is running at 1225 and memory at 1600...temp is a nice stable 64 degrees. I have no idea what I'm doing so I wouldn't be surprised if my GPU pops at some point
I tried afterburner but it said it didn't support my GPU.
thats great ...
we have killed quite a few cards that way - but mainly due to heat than anything else ... which is one of the reasons why the rebuild of the farm and housing is underway - especially cooling ...
i would actually be very interested what you could pull in hashrate under x11 with those clocks? ... and using the optimized bins ...
either way - happy mining ... it really is a fun thing to see those blocks and coins come through ...

Happy to give X11 a go with the optimized bins and let you know...I was under the impression that they are not freely available though.
someone leaked the bins out a while ago ( which is why wolf has his work very close now ) and so wolf decided that the x11 bins should all be released ...
its on reddit for download here - http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/2o1yoz/rewritten_x11_binaries/ ...
its a very simple procedure to install and setup also ... but if you have any issues - let me know ...

1.66Mh/s average over 10 mins with stock bin.
2.95 Mh/s average over 10 mins with wolf0 bin.
Solo mining Dash. Thats a huge difference. 60 degrees centigrade with fan at 75%
The question is...what would it take to optimise the Spreadcoin version of sgminer?
nice ...
thats a marked difference ... it would definitely make a difference in the long run ...
sp has optimized spreadminer as a private miner ( i cant remember how much it was ) and that was a huge difference also ...
he said he was goign to try his hand at optimizing sgminer - even though he focuses on cuda - so it may be that for a similar fee for a private miner - he could do the same for spreadx11 of sgminer ...
either that or wolf can probably optimize it easily ... but i dont know what he would charge or if he has the inclination to ...
so who knows ...

I just hate the idea of inefficiency. We use enough electricity as it is in crypto Might as well get the most bang for our buck out of it.
