Topic: Sgminer (AMD 14.4 WHQL) Hashrate Improvement - fixed - page 4. (Read 22624 times)
5xxx and 6xxx ？
Good morning,
Based on the new SGMiner which is working with the latest AMD 14.6beta and AMD 14.4WHQL driver (Check Edit.2) and had been created by djm34 (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/djm34-215787) - Thanks a lot for him and his efforts -, I re-complied the sgminer and fixed a consistent (idle/work resuming) issue within the mining process.
The problem had been totally solved, the results (before/after) of the new sgminer are (using X11mod):
AMD 7950: Before (2.4Mh/s) - after (3.39Mh/s) @1000/1500
AMD 280X: Before (3.2Mh/s) - after (4.3Mh/s) @1150/1500

Edit (1-2062014): AMD 14.6beta is behaving strangely with me after I tested for hours, here is the issue:
Whatever I tried to change the GPU/Memory frequencies, it is still the default (factory) values, whether I tried it via MSI after burner or via the miner's conf. file, though GPU-Z shows that the frequencies had been modified, but in fact the REAL ACTIVE values are the factory's one, and the hashrate had not been changed what so ever.
I dont' know is it me or is it the driver.
I downloaded AMD14.4 driver, tested it. I confirm it is working perfectly, the performance is the same of 14.6beta PLUS you can play with the frequencies.
Edit (2-2462014): If you like to use AMD14.4 driver, Do the following steps:
1- Download 14.6beta driver.
2- Delete bin files at you miner's folder.
3- Run the miner, a new bin file will be automatically created, this file is based on 14.6beta driver. You can copy it as a back up just in case.
4- Uninstall 14.6bta driver, then install AMD 14.4 driver.
5- Run the miner again (with the bin file been created with AMD14.6beta located at the miner's root folder), the performance will be as good as it was with 14.6beta driver.
6- OR if you don't want to follow all the above steps, you can ask your friend who has the same card and miner's configuration and an installed 14.6beta driver to create this bin file and send it to you.

Note: I will lock this thread now cause I don't want to make djm34 - the creator of the new sgminer - tired with following 2 thread in the same time.
The reason made me created this thread is to make sure many of you will notice that the miner had been fixed.
So for more info and anything related to the new miner, kindly check this thread:
