any chance that 5xxx cards can be optimized even more?
6xxx cards seem to work fine with -a 3 setting but 5xxx cards just seem too slow.
6950/6970 about 350 to 370 h/s
eg. 5850/5870 about 150 to 180 h/s
Is the problem the 1 GB vram for 5xxx cards?
Topic: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 - page 250. (Read 2145040 times)
installed 6.1 (after 6.0)and immediatly one of my cards crash...
tried over and over... same cards dies.
rebooted the rig...
everything looks fine now
even a little bit more hashrate than before the reboot

My fault for "miner" I thought the Minner 6.0 provides more hash than in version 4.0 or 5.0, while the pool shows less power than the 4.0 or 5.0 although in version 6.0 acceleration 2-3%
You can use v4 or v5 if you think that they are faster, but it's not true. Even when I use same version I see 10-20% speed deviation in hashrate that pools show, it looks like pool-related issue, latest versions of the miner are not slower. If you know some pool that shows exact hashrate let me know and I will test all recent versions on it.
Important update v6.1:
- Fixed memory leak.
- Fixed memory leak.

Clay did you notice that the miner 6.0 gives more hash in the mineru however the pool gives 10 to 15% less real hash. Many users have this problem. After 12 digging there has been a lot fewer coins excavated??
I don't know what is "mineru", sorry. Miner shows "raw" hashrate, it is always more than hashrate that pools show, it was already discussed here a few times. Also some pools send new jobs with big delays often, it cause a lot of stale shares and pools don't indicate them at all (except Minergate).

is it possible to run this miner on a 2gb ram on the pc?
i dont believe it is.
whats the solution then?should i again buy 16gb ram?
I use 4GB RAM in my rigs. 2GB is too small, it will fail on most configurations, there is no way to fix it.
yes but give it a try, it can be successful
i run this: windows7 64bit, 1Gb ram, 2xhd5870(1Gb vram), catalyst 13.12
it works. 376h/s for 2 hd5870 as expected
(the cpu is also mining and two wallet are stacking at the same time!)
i have another rig with 2Gb and 3xhd7950. it works too.
no secret, perhaps a little of luck!
the hardware is very old (gygabyte g31 motherboard, pentium e5200 and 40gb ide hdd). gpu 0 is an asus hd5870@950/1250 1gb and gpu 1 a vtx hd5870@920/1200 1gb too.
the rig ran under pimp (groestl much of the time) but ~3 weeks ago, i decided to test cryptonote.
so i set up windows 7 integral 64bit but for faster install, i put 2gb memory. i chose catalyst 13.12 and claymore v5.0. i did not test newer driver (hardware too old to hope better performances)
the rig was OK and i was able to mine succesfully some ducknote.
later, i replace the 2gb ram (top of the range kingston ddr2 memory that i sold a good price) by cheaper 1gb ram noname. the rig is still working at same performance.
this hardware will wait a little before going to the trash can
thanks Claymore. 
small but nice increase.
1720 hash / 1636 hash = 5,1% increase
but attention, the new version increases also power usage.
609 watt / 572 watt = 6,4% increase
speedwise its really a crazy job. 555 hash/s with my 280x with full overclock.

What cards are you running?
Are you 100% sure about the increased power usage?
yes, i am
set to -a 3 for to decrease power.
4 7950 -a 1 = 625W
4 7950 -a 2 = 623W
4 7950 -a 3 = 565W

Why do so - I do not know?

wow awesome, just tried -a 3. i get higher hash and lower power usage, lol. xD
1760 hash/s @544 watt
my settings:
4x 280x underclocked
0,981 mV
970 core
1000 chip
i think i will clock them a bit higher now. -a 3 rocks
small update:
i think i ve found my best settings.
0,981 voltage
1020 core
1000 chip
1766 hash
470 watt with only gpus (537 watt with monitor and cpu mining for comparison)

its because v 6.0 uses -a1 option. set to -a2

My power usage actually went up a little more than that since I tend go near the 80-90% max of my PSUs. I got about 3.87% more with 7.8% more power used. Mix of 6950, 7950, 7970/280X and a 290. I'm going back to v5.0 since it's hot as hell out in the west US.

anybody running on 14.7? Results?
I'm running 4 rigs of 3x 7950's all at stock. They are Gigabyte's with F43 bios so core is only 900mhz stock. Each rig gets 1300h/s. Hopefully, this is comparable.
my gb 280x's elpida memory are running 14.7 with 6.0 miner they do do 410 each now. no difference on 14.6 and 13.12.
my 2 7950's now do 501.5 each at resonable overclock on same drivers.

Claymore,
Is there any speed difference running the 13.12 drivers and the 13.12 miner or the 14.6 drivers and the 14.6 miner?

well if not claymore release it someone else will
Version 6 runnin' like a boss.
Thanks Claymore
Thanks Claymore
Think we'll ever see a linux version of this, for people that use an actual mining quality OS for mining?
