You may not be, but it did look like that.
Look like but not. Smiley

Well, what about problem with 5-10% of rejected shares?

I don't get anywhere near that many.

Tried using the sgminer version posted earlier, same results as with cgminer.

Looks like I am stuck in the land of 140 Khash for now. Sad

Tbh, I'm finding it quite peculiar that my 140 khash noob's config is the best we have for 3.7.7b. And how the only alternative is Wolf0's blacklisted site with it's nsfw .pngs and promises of higher hashrates (on a client that can't or won't solo mine), seeminly designed to lure people to said site.

wolf0s miner works well, iam useing his public release version. there is also an updated cgminer as well at 3.7.8 which has speeds similar to wolf0s.

cgminer will randomly set the thread concurrency on almost every startup. eg. it chooses 4096 or 8192 or 16384.

I will soon know if the HW error was caused by the 4096 bin in use at the time. Currently running a 16384 bin..

36 hours later I'm averaging 139 khash with only 4 HW errors. Smiley




This is pretty much what I am getting as well, except my settings are slightly different. Also no matter how many times I try to regenerate a new bin file, my install will always pick 8192 for thread concurrency.

Code:
280x -i 13  -w 48  -g 2   GPU clocks 1025/1500

http://img.techpowerup.org/141104/neoscript.jpg

I also have another box, basically identical build to the above (3x 280x cards) that prefers -g 1 instead of the -g 2 shown above, with all the other settings and clocks set the same.




What make/model cpu, mobo and ram are you running ?

My rig: Phenom II x6, Asus SB 990fx, GSkill 9-9-9-24 2T

I just bumped it up to 4 threads and gained 2 kash. WOOT ! Grin

It's a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H with a Intel Celeron G1630 (2.8 GHz), ADATA 4 GB RAM, not sure timings, on Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 80 GB SDD (Intel).

Most of my rigs are a similar build as they were put together more with cost in mind for BTC, and eventually scrypt, mining last year. I pretty much stuck with Intel boards, so seeing you have AMD based rig might make the difference. When I mined scrypt the few AMD boards I did own seemed to not do as well, so I sold them off early this year when the prices started to drop off. Anyway, presently I have no way to compare between AMD/Intel based MB/CPU setups to see if that make a big difference.

Seeing the FTC profitability falling fast, I would like to get another 20 kHash or more per card out if possible, but seems to be hitting a brick wall with getting much past 140 kh right now.

I calculate my 3 X rig puts out a consistent 138 kh x 3 = 414 kh total. Power draw at the wall is around 540 watts, bringing me to roughly 0.76 kh/watt efficiency. I pay $0.11 per killawatt hour for power, so using today's calculations, I get the following:
Code:
Per Est. Rewards Pool fee Rev. BTC Rev. $ Costs Profit
Hour 2.42729 0.00000 0.00020 $0.09 $0.06 $0.03
Day 58.25485 0.00000 0.00472 $2.12 $1.45 $0.67
Week 407.78395 0.00000 0.03303 $14.86 $10.16 $4.70
Month 1,747.64550 0.00000 0.14156 $63.70 $43.56 $20.14
Year 21,263.02025 0.00000 1.72230 $775.04 $529.98 $245.06


So while still slightly profitable, it would be nice to crank up the hashrate a bit more and stay in the black awhile longer. Smiley


you should be getting higher then that, my crappy elpidha cards to 144-150khs. try installing 14.7 rc 3 drivers instead of just using the files and fiddle the clocks alittle. i run my asus 280x's at 1135-1800, mainly because they can go that high. but that only really gains me about 12 khs. iam getting about 172 stable but downclocked i get about 160'ish.

*facepalm* I'm from Russia and why I can't use .ru clouds? If you're afraid then you can skip link.
Btw, it was link on archived cgminer update by https://github.com/wolf9466 (looks like you)

That's not the biggest red flag, that's a small one - the HUGE red flag is 5 posts.

EDIT: By the way, I'm not computer-stupid and afraid of clicking links - it's named bin.zip. A reasonable assumption is that it's Windows binaries. Add that to the 5 posts, and the circumstantial clue of the .ru site, and I think most people would come to the conclusion you're one of those guys trying to spread malware like that. You may not be, but it did look like that.

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.
I know.

I'm wondering if the hardware configs, namely the system ram and its timings, could be affecting the gpu's performance.

i highly doubt memory timeing could affect cpu preformance. best way to find out thou is to make changes and run the miner and see if it has any affect on hash rates.

Ohh.. I see..  I must change the settings AND run the miner. And here I thought that the bubble screensaver meant that it was working. Roll Eyes

Seriously now, I have made no mention regarding the cpu's performance. Are we reading the same posts ? lolz

cgminer 3.7.7-updated, you can download it from here https://cloud.mail.ru/public/7544666eeb01/bin.zip

5 posts and linking to binaries hosted on a .ru site! That doesn't seem suspicious at all!

Okay, done. I'm pretty sure it works, but haven't tested on a Windows installation. This is a zip of my kernel, slighly modified for SGMiner, as well as all the other kernels included on the github's develop branch, and a Win64 binary. Static compile, no DLLs, just like my standard SGMiner builds on Litecointalk. Also GPG signed, like my standard builds. Someone please test for me and ensure it works.

https://ottrbutt.com/sgminer/neoscrypt/sgminer5-neoscrypt-11-02-2014.zip
And of course, GPG sigs for those that check them (you should be): https://ottrbutt.com/sgminer/neoscrypt/sgminer5-neoscrypt-11-02-2014.zip.sig

What does your command line look like ? lol

I'm keeping it simple but not getting anywhere..

start.bat
Code:
sgminer.exe --algorithm neoscrypt -g 2 -w 64



That's a good start - I don't think you need to set TC, but you can. You need to set a pool, intensity, user/pass for pool, and GPU threads, I think.

EDIT: And worksize.

I know how to solo/pool mine. lol I posted that command line hoping someone would confirm that my flags were set properly. eg. the pool info was purposely left out

Has solo mining been disabled ?

Are there any hidden fees/ donations ?

It was done by an sgminer dev, and I compiled it clean from git except I put in my own OpenCL kernel, slightly modified for SGMiner. So, no - no fees, donations, and AFAIK, solo mining should work. It's gonna be buggy, though - he got it working like an hour before I compiled and posted it.

this is what I'm getting

Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB, TheStilt BIOS, 1000/1500 -I 13 -w 48 -g 2

This is using Wolf0's build: https://ottrbutt.com/sgminer/neoscrypt/sgminer5-neoscrypt-11-02-2014.zip

i dont get how you guys are getting such high speeds. i have tried all the settings on my 280x's and they barley do 120khs. tried with both new sgminer and latest cgminer.

I think the secret is to not have AMD 14.9 installed.  I am using 14.6.  This isn't the first algorithm I've seen to perform poorly with 14.9.

p.s. see my comments here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9412232

intresting, i will give it a go and see what results i gain, as its the same across my 2 rigs, 4 280x's do about 122khs and my 7950's do around 117khs. so i will change drivers and post the results.

*Edit just noticed you cant download 14.6 drivers anymore :-/
only 14.4 and lower.

also do you use a TC setting?

No TC setting.  But of course the .bin file shows that it is using 8192.  I keep all my old AMD bundles, so going to 14.6 was easy.  Big file though 300+MB.

i ended up useing 14.7 rc3. 280x with hynix does 170khs and elpidha 280x does 150khs..... thats with alittle tuneing to the bat file and speeds of the card. and it appears iam able to pull between 147-162khs off 7950's useing my own settings.

Is that Wolf0's version and is -g 1 being used ?

yeah maybe should disable it :b
-g 2 is being used.

Noo lol.. leave it on so we can see how noob friendly it is. I'm running artifact free thus far.. Smiley

No luck with -g 2 but, I did manage to gain another 10 khash by upping the worksize to 48 and by copying the 14.7-rc3 openCL files to the 3.7.7b folder (while still running 14.9).
