I have the feeling that the new driver gives improved hashrates only for 270, 280 and 290 cards. My 5870, 5790, 6950s don't show any improvements...

Hi guys
Did someone with ATI HD6950 has improvement with new beta 14.6 drivers?
I allready instaled it, but without any change in hashrate. I Remove old .bin files, but nothing changes.
Windows 7, HD6950 2GB
Any clues?

suprnova.cc is on wrong fork. I've notified the operator once again and the problem should hopefully be fixed shortly.

Other pools seem to be operating fine.

I meant going from driver 14.4 to beta driver 14.6 does not change the hashrate I get for my cards ^^

But I never used driver version 13.x, so not sure about the differences there...

Awesome!!!! 7950, from 5,4 Mhs to 9,1 Mhs , 1050 core

Power consuption from 520W (complete rig + 4x7950) to 595W

I was not able to update the driver.
PS: I also tried without uninstalling the previous driver. In such case, the installer just says not enough disk space to install. :-(

Thanks

any other advisory, about the hardfork ?

Of course!

Hardfork is in 3 hours, make sure you are using wallet 2.1.0.6!!!

is the new wallet available for miners?

Listen guys, I have checked this and new drivers ARE A TRUE POISON. At least when Groestlcoin is in question THE SPEED OF HASHING IS ALMOST DUPLICATED!

On R9 280x my previous hash rate was 6.8 MH/s. Now it's 11.43 MH/s.

Fans on the card are not cranking - but rather wheezing with a very high pitch and started to radiate a serious heat. Who says Groestl is friendly to the cards...

How to achieve this result:

1. Get yourself BAMT 1.6.0 (or any other 32-bit Linux distro will do):

http://www.reddit.com/r/BAMT/comments/207rdz/release_bamt_v160_scrypt_scryptn_darkcoin/

2. Get yourself a decent sgminer-sph, I am using this one:

https://github.com/badman74/sph-sgminer

3. Get yourself the latest AMD 14.6 drivers, files are the follows:
linux-amd-catalyst-14.6-beta-v1.0-may23.zip
AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-lnx32.tgz
ADL_SDK.zip

4. Now, uninstall old drivers, reinstall new drivers, RECOMPILE THE SGMINER:

The EXACT procedure is noted here:
http://rumorscity.com/2013/12/08/amd-display-driver-update-for-r9-290x-on-bamt-litecoin-miner/

NOTE:  Please follow the procedure EXACTLY.

5. DELETE the old compiled CL file, which is usually hidden here:
/opt/miners/sgminer-4.1.0-sph

NOTE: The key to enhanced performance is hidden in NEW on-the-fly re-compilation of .cl files.

6. Everything else is as usual. Mine cards speeds up to 11.43 MH/s:

7. Parameters I am using:
  core_speed_0: 300
  core_speed_1: 1140
  core_speed_2: 1140
  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 1000
  mem_speed_2: 1000
  core_voltage_0: 1.131
  core_voltage_1: 1.131
  core_voltage_2: 1.131

8. Config file I am using (partial print):
    "auto-fan" : true,
    "gpu-fan": "30-99",
    "temp-cutoff" : "95",
    "temp-overheat" : "85",
    "temp-target" : "79",

    "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"

Could you please post the updated sgminer with updated .CLs?

I am getting 14 Mh/s from my tri-x r9 290 on 1080 gpu clock but for better stability fall back to its reference clock. getting 11+ now. In r9 270 Non X I am getting 6+ Mh/s on 1050 gpu clock. But most exciting thing is I am doing solo mining and my 2 rig point on one wallet and speed of 2 rig combined is 52 Mh/s(I swear I will make it 5 Mh/s more. Just tired). In this speed in pool mining I should get 1600 coin and I already found 3 block in first 7 Hour. Been lucky. Hope luck will remain but also fun on setup(No specific tutorial for GroestlCoin. I set it up based on litecoin. Fun is there). Happy mining.
