It's not a inf file... does anyone know where I can get it ?

Thx

Anybody have a modified 14.6 which work?
it would certainly be better to modify the kernel of sgminer. Someone should have a look and try to solve the problem.

Dang I installed 14.6 and the first thing I mined was a Grosetl coin. It works good for that I can confirm but x11 only HW errors.

That sucks, so you pretty much can mine grosetl coin only..

Does anyone know what the diff is between x11mod.cl and darkcoin.cl?  ... What is broken in it that 14.6 fails with x11mod?  When I open these files in notepad on winblowz I get a mess without newlines so I'll not mess with trying to find problem LOL.
These files must have been created on a Linux box LOL.  Anyone want to fix so Winblowz readable? HAHA

I can confirm that catalyst 14.6 beta increases hashrate on x11mod from 3.1 to 3.7 HOWEVER I am getting absolutely no shares accepted.  Going back to 14.4.

EDIT: 14.4 working fine with x11mod.  14.6 beta breaks something in x11mod.cl (darkcoin.cl works on 14.6)

Yep Sad

See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-amd-drivers-146-possible-speed-increase-627142

Make sure you completely remove the amd drivers when reverting back!

I used DDU to get rid of 14.6.  I fought x11mod for a day trying to get it going on 14.6 LOL.

14.6 broken Sad

And i'm so glad you guys know what you're doing, because otherwise I get a ton of emails like "shits broke, fix it", and can't find the problem Smiley

Clearly the problem is with the new OpenCL implementation as I had to delete all the *.bin files generated with 14.6 to get 14.4 working again ...

For scrypt 13.12 is best for me. x11 I've found 14.4 to be the best.

It's been at least a week or so now, is 13.12 still the definitive driver revision all things considered or should I wait for the next Catalyst release?

When i last looked at it it seemed that I couldn't over/under clock the card with the new drivers. Maybe sgminer is not able to change the card settings or something resulting in incorrect TC and only HW errors?

After moving to 14.6 got an error starting sgminer saying my TC was too high.  Worked fine on 14.4.  Deleted bin, same error.  Decreased TC a bit, it started but all HW errors.  Going back to 14.4.  This is on reference R9 290 cards.

Same results for me, AMD has done a number on their drivers when it comes to mining.
