[Dev] NeoScrypt GPU Miner - Public Beta Test

Elpida, I believe. My reference Sapphire, which is kind of a dog, does 270 - 280, while my non-ref Asus does like 310kh/s. I believe they’re both Elpida, because my Hynix 280X does over 290kh/s.
Do you have any plan for publish new kernel ?

Not at the moment - however, I am considering fixing chacha and salsa for pre-GCN cards. Would even the playing field for people with 6xxx and below.

We would sincerely appreciate a fix for pre-GCN cards. I think people need to donate to you also for all the work you have done for us already, including outside of FTC. If it weren’t for you Wolf, we wouldn’t even have sgminer.

Well, salsa and chacha won’t be too difficult, but does a 6xxx card mine right now? At all? If not, then it may not be able to address global memory using unaligned addresses, and then it’d be a nightmare to fix.

6000 series cards do mine Neoscrypt, but they are very slow. My 6950, for example, will mine Neoscrypt at around 6-7 KH/s at best with the current kernel.

Got it on a box I can SSH to?

It’s a Windows box, but I should be able to get sshd installed via cygwin, other than that there’s RDP and VNC.

Anyone except me having problems even getting sgminer started? It comes to the jansson line and then just dies. No binary created
Tried with as few settings as you can possibly use without no difference…
Oh and btw, great job Wolf0! Accidently opened your screenshot here at work and noticed your NSFW warning afterwards, LOL :D
Did you find a fix for this as I’m having the same results with sgminer on OS W7 64bit?
3.7.8 works fine with my R9 270’s and I’m getting 60kh/s per card with it.
I even seen a little bump for my Nvidia cards with 3.7.8 with GTX760 & 660 cards, about 6 to 10 kh/s each.
3.7.8 didn’t seem to help my laptop 560m but that could be driver related since I have a newer driver on the laptop.

Evening chaps, finally got round to catching up with the crypto world. Think I’m missing something though… read through this thread and got the sgminer folder Wolf0 kindly posted. Just checking what settings y’all using for a 280x toxic and a xfx reference 6970?
-I 14 -g 2 -w 128 gives 74khs on the 280x and 6khs on the 6970. No special marks for me obviously, but any increase to the 150+ range would be appreciated. Also, I’m unsure as to how to specify different settings for different cards. I don’t want to do any over/underclocking, I’d just like some basic good settings. Also, I’m noob.
Kind regards,
T4

6xxx cards having a hard time due to their design. I’ll try to fix it when I have access to a test card.

Tested GTX480 with 3.7.8 and 3.7.7c 1kh/s difference in the speed between the two.
326.80 driver 27kh/s but driver crash when closed/shut down
344.60 driver 25kh/s no crash of drive so far when cgminer is closed.
So GTX480 is 2 to 3KH/s slower than 760GTX and 1Kh/s slower than 660GTX with either cgminers versions.
All the same settings was used in all test -I 10 -w 16
My fleet speed at the moment:-)

Getting 145kh/s with my 280x with sgminer 5 settings : sgminer.exe --algorithm neoscrypt -I 15 -w 48 -g 2 --no-submit-stale -o -p
That is 60kh/s faster than 3.7.7b and the same as with 3.7.8.
Thanks Wolf, your contribution is greatly appreciated.
Okay, this has become a long thread and I think there’s need for a step-by-step recap on what to do with what to achieve these results ?
Like this (for Linux systems, don’t have M$ so can’t speak for that):
-
install Xubuntu 12.04LTS
-
install AMD driver version ?
-
install ADL_SDK version ?
-
git clone sgminer/cgminer/neominer ?
-
compile and install miner
-
adjust miners config based on GPU model
Can we fill in the ? with links and versions ?
Cheers,
Paul

can anyone please let me know the settings for r9 280x
i am getting 75kh/s on both 13.12 and 14.6 drivers with below settings…
-I 16 -w 72 -g 1…
i tried generating bin files on 13.12 and then running them on 14.6 but getting the same hash rate.
can i try 13.12 bin files on 14.9 as suggested by some ???
or its necessary to have bin files on 13.11 and run 14.9 ???
Try -I 14 -w 48 -g 2
You should get higher hashes with that. If you can, push the intensity up to 15.
If you are using cgminer 3.7.8 or the sgminer5 that Wolf0 posted in this thread a couple pages back, you will get the best performance from 14.9.x and up. Wolf0 fixed the kernel just enough to make 14.9.x work with our miners, so the days of having the generate 13.12 bins and using those in 14.9.x are long gone :)

God damn AMD 78xx Pitcairns are such a PITA to mine with. One day they mine just fine with your settings. The next day they act unstable and decide to start randomly crashing your GPU drivers. I wish my 7870 was a Tahiti. Would be much easier.

For those with old Radeon cards. This is my current OpenCL kernel: neoscrypt_vliw.cl
It is optimised to some extent for VLIW4/VLIW5. I get 17.5KH/s with it on a HD6970. That’s not much, but still better than 6KH/s with the default kernel.

How it use? Which miner?

Congrats - not a bad chacha for 6xxx. Your salsa though… needs work.

Okay, here you go (NSFW): https://ottrbutt.com/miner/neoscryptwolf-11042014.png
As you can see, every card is around mid-70C or below, except that 270X with the dead fan. What you don’t see is that all of them have a decent sized voltage bump, except that 270X, which is slightly undervolted to compensate for its lack of cooling. So, even at this hashrate, the cards are running quite cool - too cool, as my room is rather warm (probably from all three desktops with high end GPUs…) - so I need to trade off some of the memory usage for extra computations. Compute power is likely still plentiful, unused because of memory access times.
Here’s my 7950 doing 150Kh/s. Fairly Safe For Work. (In Soviet Russia, You maul Bear! Then if you’re lucky, she mauls you back) I could use a suggestion for a good overclocking bios though. Been playing around boosting a few to 1.3v and I just ran across The Stilt’s mods the other day but haven’t had much luck with them either. As you can see, temperatures are absolutely no problem. Stays under 70 even when scrypt-hashing full load, full crank. Too many variations! Can’t spend days freezing and rebooting. It’s a Gigabyte, part 113-HD685ZNF63.SB, Hynix mem of course. My best so far is around 1260/1740. Would love to hit 1300/1800.

Gentlemen, is 3.7.7c the latest version? I don’t have linux unfortunately so can’t compile, and I probably don’t have the knowledge to do so :(. Is there a place I can go to find the latest version in compiled/windows format
-
i assume this is the newest version: http://cryptomining-blog.com/3715-new-cgminer-3-7-8-with-improved-neoscrypt-performance/
unfortunately it took a step backwards for nvidia cards (slower), but its meant for AMD so if that is better there, then good!
