I've decided to make this Tutorial because i noticed that getting SGminer to work with X11 protocol is not an easy task if you just use the .Bat file ...
Actually the process is much like cgminer configuration, but instead of using same parameters for the code you have to change or add some exceptions!
SO HERE IT GOES:
1 - First you should downlaoad sph-SGminer 4.0.1 at http://suchpool.pw/docs/gettingstartedX11.pdf and use it to get a picture of what you need to do! (You should have your GPU drivers updated)
2 -Extract sph-SGminer to a folder at your Desktop; then open this folder at the Desktop and create a .txt file.
3- paste this code at the .txt file:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "https://poolinfo.com:port",
"user" : "user.workerid",
"pass" : "pass"
},
{
"url" : "https://poolinfo.com:port",
"user" : "user.workerid",
"pass" : "pass"
}
],
"intensity" : "18,13",
"kernel": "darkcoin",
"worksize" : "128,128",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8193,8193",
"shaders" : "1536,2048",
"gpu-engine" : "850,1010",
"gpu-fan" : "90",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250,1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.094",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "88",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "4",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}
4- after you paste the code save it as sgminer.CONF. NOTE: you must change the values in the code for the values accepted for Hardware. you can check that here: https://docs.zoho.com/sheet/published.do?rid=12cbm2fe8ce55abb2476daa0f8c576b442d40&mode=html
Note: this is the configuration for 2 Radeon GPU unit = 1-7970 and 1- 6950
After you change the code for the correct values (tread currency; gpu engine and mem clock also you can tweak intensity and\or add xintensity ("xintensity" : "4,4",
Or "rawintensity" : "18,13",) parameter)
5- After you created the conf file you are now ready to Go !
You just need to send a shortcut of the sgminer.exe file to your desktop and you are all set and ready to GO ….
You can also try and Tweak some values if you are not happy with the speed!
I find working with the conf file to be the best way to explore you Hardware potential!
