[Dev] NeoScrypt GPU Miner - Public Beta Test
-
Just compiled 3.7.7b and I’ve only been running for a few minutes but it looks to be just ever so faster than the previous versions for me.
Will let it tun for a while and report back
-
folks, can you upload a precompiled 3.7.7b ?

I’ve adapted bfgminers windows build.txt to compile the gpu miner for AMD cards.
Somebody please check my sloppy work and add what i surely forgot, it would be nice if somebody could add the instructions for Nvidia.

Also a link to version 3.7.7b that i compiled with these instructions
https://mega.co.nz/#!FcVTEQyQ!ozPVAzZJCIGm7-nbqB3E4y1xudHI62g6YVfF_YI_GUI
Copy libglib-2.0-0.dll from C:\Program Files\GTK2-Runtime\bin to C:\MinGW\bin
is this missing file intl.dll? -did not help
edit: reinstalled mingw and gpu mining is now found
compiled and hashing!
i used CFLAGS=“-O2 -msse2” instead of -02 -g
file size 519KB instead of 1436KB, what is changed? working fine…
leaving 280x/3.7.7b working with -g 2 -w 24 -I 13

tmuir12, Chrome doesnt even let me download it… :D

Don’t know why, maybe its a Chrome thing.
I use Firefox and just opened up IE and it works for that too.
Ijust realised I left a space in the filename, maybe Chrome doesn’t like that, so I have fixed it.
I’ve updated the link above, but here it is again

says zlib1.dll is missing

I am so ready for the 25th. You guys should really edit the first post of this topic so people can find the right download on the first page.
says zlib1.dll is missing
The cgminer 1.75 zip file from the first page don’t have that driver. You don’t want that version anyways. 1.7.7b is more stable and has higher performance.
Also a link to version 3.7.7b that i compiled with these instructions
https://mega.co.nz/#!FcVTEQyQ!ozPVAzZJCIGm7-nbqB3E4y1xudHI62g6YVfF_YI_GUI
I am running that version with my bat file:
setx DISPLAY 0
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -I 11 -w32 -g 2 -o stratum+tcp://atlas.phoenixcoin.org:10554 -u
-p x
I am getting 40.5khash/sec on a GeForce GTX 560.

The current version of neo-gpu miner does not work with AMD drivers higher than 13.12.
I found that when i add the amd opencl files from the 13.12 driver pack to the cgminer directory that it does work with the 14.xx drivers.
But a little slower…
If anybody is interested … link to neo-gpuminer 3.7.7b that works on 14.xx AMD drivers
https://mega.co.nz/#!lVUURaAK!epWoeHGYXiKFXlAJ2VvG9LwuUBh-4bi1TNS-JXjgxLQ
Using setx display, gpu, etc does not add anything to performance, just leave it out.
I get 90kh/s on an amd 280x with these settings
cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -I 14 -w 48 -o stratum+tcp://prometheus.phoenixcoin.org:10554 -u
-p x

same settings 3.7.7b, -g 2 -w 48 -I 14, 13.xx drivers
280x hynix= 100khs
have u tried bin files crossed? freshalgo did best when 14.xx created bin at 13.x drivers

I went from 290 to 380-90khs with cisahasa’s config last night!

folks can we do a quick wrap up of what we have had so far?
this is a track record of my progress with the gpu miner
1.
2.
3.The last one is a 4 gpu config -w 48 -I 14 >90 khs/gpu cgminer 3.7.7b
do you think it is good to go already?

hi guys
i just hooked up a amd 6950 and i downloaded the cgminer, but when i run it, it just stops working and crashes. I’m using windows 8 64bit. and just updated my drivers to the latest. Could you know why this may be happening?
-
If you are using catalyst 14.something it won’t work.
Don’t go higher than 13.12
But there may also be win8 issues as I know of atleast one other person running win 8 that is having issues
-
my 6950 is really slow… its like just 4kH
@Yusuf, you may want to try a higher -w value…

aah tmuir12, thanks. i think i was using the 14.xx catalyst from above. could you please link me to the pre compiled cgminer for 13.12?
thanks again!

I have two PCs with Radeon HD6950s, shaders unlocked. They’re not cutting edge, but they are decent miners. Slightly overclocked, they get about 450 KHS scrypt mining each, or about 7.5 MHS each mining Goestl.
The PCs are running Windows 7 X64. One has 13.12 drivers, one has 14.4. That really doesn’t seem to matter, at least on my two PCs. Swapping bin files had no impact.
I have tried the Neoscrypt GPU miner, versions 3.7.5 and 3.7.7b. I get accepted shares, and I can solo mine, but the mining is at very low hash rates.
After reading through this whole thread more than twice in case I missed something, I have tried a variety of different settings. The best I can get with HD6950s is about 3 KHS, and it renders the PC unusable, even at relatively low -I settings (-I 8. I get similar performance (~2 KHS) per core CPU mining, and the PC is pretty usable while minerd is running. So at the moment, CPU mining is about 4 times more productive and uses about 1/3 of the power as GPU mining on my hardware. But CPU mining is never going to be productive when most other miners are using GPUs at 25-50 KHS.
This is going to alienate me from Neoscrypt if this is not addressed. Since this beta has been release, difficulty has gone up, and that’s only going to get worse when there is widespread adoption of the GPU miner. I’m not going to buy new GPUs just to mine PXC, or FTC for that matter.
I’m not whining, it’s just a simple decision based on the relative performance of my hardware. Some of the comments here have been “when are we going live?” If this doesn’t get fixed, I’m not going to be able to reasonably compete any more, and I’ll have to find something else to mine where my hardware is competitive (like Groestl), and so will anyone else mining with similar hardware.
I don’t particularly want to abandon PXC, I’d much rather stay. If I can help the developers to resolve the performance issue by testing or providing log files or whatever, I’d be happy to, just let me know what I can do.

use only 3.7.7b miner for now
your settings are way off to get good hashrate. -I 8 is history now.
try -g 2 -w 24 -I 14 , if failing take some steps down, i have not a card similiar to yours, but your setting should be much like mine
when mining scrypt cards like yours been reported using intensivity 20+
