Not to worry, but it looks like the coders for the big mining operations with AMD GPU have  mastered Lyra2 algo and are now hitting 2mhs on 280x.
Do you have more evidence?

Hey Pallas,

It's been a couple of weeks.  Any notable improvements?

I'm struggling to make it hash significantly faster than stock kernel on 280x.
I may release the full miner earlier so everybody can enjoy.

I finally acquired a 280x.
It hashes at 1.115 Kh/s, clocks 835/1500, intensity 16 (instead of 15 used on Hawaii).

Did you mean 1.115MHs?

Locale mistake: I used . instead of , as thousands separator 😉

Current difficulty is 132, but price is 0.00004BTC. Should be above 0.00006BTC on the current CCminer for Nvidia GPU's.

I added an extra 9,000VTC to my holdings as consequence, the entry of big mining operations is a good sign of future appreciations in coin value.

You'll need some good coding work to raise the hashpower to be competitive with their coders.

Any news on this? I would donate for a working 280x kernel.

The 280x kernel is working fine but the hasrate is about the same of the stock kernel (1/1.1 Mh/s).
I'm working on it, though.

I would donate, too.

It was only the wind.
Tahiti really dislikes newer drivers, my 7950 esp.  280x performs best with 14.7 RC3 as I have said many times before Smiley
What coins do you find best for mine-n-dump to BTC for buy DMD?

Tahiti works just fine with newer drivers - it's mostly that in some ways, the compiler seems to have gotten smarter, and in others, dumber... but those drivers can still be used to attain equal or even higher hashrates than those you got from previous ones, in my experience.
The 7950 I have (Powercolor 7950 PCS+) seems to ignore VBE7 bios changes. And runs at normal mem clock (reports changed clock Huh) and crashes.

Did u ever improve neoscrypt any further and release it, U can PM me a link, I still use one from several months ago doin 278
KHs on 7950, my 280x still on groestl Smiley
278 on 7950 sounds about right - 280X should be able to break 300.

I'm having crash problems on 14.12 with 280x as well.
But only with the optimized lyra kernel and my miner, not with djm34's, that's pretty weird!

My problem is using ultra ASM kernel on 7950 for groestl crashes it in less than a minute LOL but any other kernel x11,x13,neo just fine ...
Think my 7950 might be hardware locked Sad I can't use it for groestl Sad
My 280x just eats up groestl at 26MHS Smiley

Just wanted to let you all know I've not stopped developing: I've been fighting with driver issues for some days (on the rig with 280x cards), on the quest to optimize the kernel for the Tahiti chipset.

The source will not compile with VS2013 in x86 or x64.  This very well could be an error on my part.  I figured that I would give it another shot.  I have only been able to compile x86 using MinGW.

Anyone have a compiled 64bit version of the djm34 miner?  Unable to load visual on this machine at the moment.

I just tried with 835/1500 and 1000/1500, with the public kernel.. Compiled on 14.6.

835/1500: 1070khs
1000/1500: 1080khs

Edit: Tahiti bin for others to try.. Download link

Then there obviously is some problem with my kernel, Tahiti and the original djm34 miner.
I've just tried running my modified lyra2re miner on the Tahiti cards and it runs at the same speed as you are reporting.
Thus it looks like my optimizations are not effective on Tahiti as they are on Hawai.
That's bad but partly expected.
It's not the end of the story, though, because I've used 14.9 to compile for tahiti which is worse then both 14.6/7 and 14.12 for mining.
I will try with another driver later.

I had a better look and it already is a bit faster: 1086 at 835/1500 (with my miner)
Will look into making it faster in the coming days.
