Thirtybird when nfactor changes how many time speed goes down?
on example of leocoin i get from 4,5kh to 1,2kh....and still didnt menage to stay without hw

One question leocoin change nfactor to 15 what I need to change beside -R, i have win 64bit 4x R9 270X Vapor 2GB and 8GB ram.

probably lookup gap too

Check my reply to your post in the other thread you posted this exact same problem on.

Also, make sure you're using YACMiner 3.5.0 and not 3.3.1 - they are vastly different!  You can find binaries and source at the github link in my signature


It"s in my first time and i have problem. Nothing goes... Please, help me. I have Asus R 9 290 4Gb, 6 Gb RAM, driver 14.5, Win 7 64 bit.
Please.

I have ASUS R 9 290 4Gb. This is my bat file
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
yacminer --scrypt-chacha --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 -g 1 --buffer-size 2656 -R 6411  -o stratum+tcp://wk10.botpool.net:4339 -u bankmyrik.bankmyrik -p x --nfmin 16 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1375817223
Bat i have HW errors. What my problem?

Go with lookup-gap 6 or 7

Dosn"t work
Try buffer size 3600 -R 7600 --lookup-gap 8
Do not work... Any ideas? Please, tell me your bat file. And catalist driver is 13.12?
I had that card before,remember that settings work for me...drivers was 14.7,but 13.12 should work ok,and 8gb of system memory...ok,wait sec,isnt there on nfmin going 12,is zccoin?

I would like to mine scrypt jane N Factor and I want to know what downloads I need?  Also, what I need to use?  Like a Graphics card or a Miner like Titan?  Let me know...I Mine for a Hobbie and Haven't seen anyone mine scrypt jane N Factor as Good as you...Thanks

Tested yacminer with latest win 10 preview + amd driver from windows update 15.5 beta and it works just alocating memory is low 2800MB for 4GB card ... in win 8.1 no go with new drivers

I understand the -R flag is multiplicatives of the worksize. I have it at 3328. I can get the miner at 3 khs, but it crashes the driver (13.12) after a few minutes. I'll probably need to dial down the engine.

Nfactor 14 = 4Mb per hash if lookup-gap=1   and 0,5Mb if lookup-gap=8

if buffersize=1696 and lookup-gap=8 rawintensity must be = 1696/(4/8)-1 = 3391

try maximum increase buffer size first
then calculate rawintensity for selected lookup-gap

try another lookup-gap

and try this
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

example --lookup-gap 4 -R 1695 -B 1696

13.12? Why such an old driver?

I'll continue to play.

It's what was out when I started this experiment and the 14.x drivers gave HW errors mining scrypt-chacha when I tried them.  Now at this point, I don't feel like tinkering with them because "they just work"

My 270x max out at 2.2 khs on Nfactor 14...

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *bin
yacminer --scrypt-chacha  --worksize 128 -g 1 --lookup-gap 8 -R 3200 --buffer-size 1696 --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-engine 1000

I've tried 13.12, 14.6, and 15.3 drivers, no noticeable changes. The buffersize is the largest I can make it. Is there anything else I can play with to get more juice outta these cards? Thanks in advance.

Uncertain - I would try every lookup gap and the corresponding Raw Intensity and see which nets you the biggest hashrate.  There is a way to calculate your maximum R given buffer size and lookup gap, but I'll leave that for you to find Smiley  (it's published in at least 2 separate places in 2 different programming languages)

Your target to beat is 2.7 KH/sec, which my $100 R7 250 2GB card did at NF=14

You are correct on the look-up gap of 4 and the buffer is being set at 448. After a while of mining I do get a HW error.

If I change the starttime I get a high hash rate but all rejects.

Do not play with starttime - that is specific to the coin!  You need to work on setting the highest buffer-size you can and get a higher lookup gap going.  Stop using Intensity and use rawintensity instead I=8 is equivilent to R=256, at that lookup gap and nFactor, your -rI should be 112, so no wonder you're getting HW errors.

You really need to read the tuning guide if you want any chance at being successful
