I'm sorry all, I did NOT go through the thread, just sharing my info and taking if from here. I'm waaay to busy to go through all this, but will be attempt from here on.
I did NOTHING in terms of argument change, and this miner vs girino was INFERIOR in hashrate.
but... fuck girino plus his GNU-obscene 2% fee.
Then I looked over my settings, thinking hmmm... optimized..? went from -g 1 to -g2 ... and despite the odd driver crash, everything is spot on, a slight increase in hashrate, same or even lower temps!
Second... 5x BIOS Undervolted 280x Vapor-X (think, bought it cheap off ebay). Getting 3mh/s per card. With this miner, I have a lower WU by about 80 !!!
This was my (extensively experimented) regular darkcoin kernel settings (radically different to scrypt) - also used for girino
-k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://mining.darkcointalk.org:3333 -u bananaman.1 -p x --auto-fan --gpu-fan 25-85 --temp-cutoff 92 --temp-overheat 88 --temp-target 64 -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500
With this one, these settings get me barely same hashrate, slightly lower... about 700kh/s lower in total. Nothing to cry over. If I do -g 2, I have to drastically lower intensity. 19, 18 17, 16 ----crashes driver
15 is the sweet spot indeed. I have not checked for consumption and heat in the long term, but by heat signature it seems to be a little worse than girino's 2% miner (which is easily overridden)
Also, pool reports much lower rate than girino's by quite a few (2-4 mh/s). More HW error with this one as well, and its crashing frequently.
So I ask the real pro's to check my settings and suggest some tweaks, if you please! I really do think it my settings!
I know these are ONLY preliminary findings, and need time to stabilise.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: went back to girino's... I found that I get way more WU with his. Sorry guys, but willing to try anything and support! But what can I say... with girino, pool report 15mh/s, with this one around 10mh/s - either I'm doing something wrong, or I dont know...
