Re: SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.4.6

Hi there, I've had a problem with every miner around since the monero pow change, since the only miner I was able to use was Claymore 9.7beta without it crashing my display drivers.
I've tried xmr-stak, xmrig-amd, newer claymore's (No ASM bin found for my old card.) and about anything else that is supposed to work, I've compiled all the ones available and tried
with stock binaries on windows..

Display drivers crash no matter which version I try.. 14.4 15.7, 15.11-beta (for some reason this one is tricky to find.) Even tried the crimson edition beta which I've found out doesn't
actually include any assembler/disassembly tools for openCL.. Anywho..

Display card: AMD Ati Radeon 6530D (Evergeen or BeaverCreek as it picks it up everywhere.)
Cpu: AMD A6-3620 APU w/ the onboard 6530D

I've tried all 4 kernels out, all kill display, and of course can't get ADL to work, but I'd be highly surprised if that could even work at all anyways on this gpu.

All in all I really don't know what to do, or even try anymore.. I'd lend a hand if I could for getting what is needed to make these A-Series APUs to work. I haven't really seen anything in
the code for the other miners like xmrig/xmr-stak that would be a problem.. But I noted for some reason Claymore is posting exact driver versions for all of their releases, and wondering
how they are able to compile against them specifically, or if that just happens to be what they were using when compiling...

Any help is appreciated, and I'd love to get back to mining on my gpu, had a ton more shares and efficiency even at 42H/s and that's better than 0 since it's on 24/7 anyways.

Here are a couple screenshots for how it's acting and what it catches, and second is showing when display was killed and came back.

Thanks, you really are saving miner's lives with this miner and I hope you keep at it.. So I tip my hat to you Doc.

hi, remove drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, install 14.4 and try SRBMINER 1.4.6 --userkernel 4 for XMR use "normalv7"

and start with a very low intensity like 5, and only 1 thread

Ok well I used DDU and found the correct 14.4 drivers.. seems the last one wasn't actually installing for some reason.. anyways now all other miners work as well.
Only one issue really is the intensity setting, I can only go up to 2.0. 2.1 or higher kills display driver or gives the CL invalid buffer.. tried all 4 kernels and worksizes, kernel 2 seems to be the best
at 14H/s compared to 12-13H/s on 3 & 4 kernels. I was wondering if the gpu kernels having "256" in them as being the hash size? and if so, is there a way to lower or give a CLI option to change them or
maybe a 128 version? If that isn't the case, oh well.
(126 intensity seemed to be the optimal number for xmr-stak for some odd reason, also with a 35.9H/s which isn't to far off of the original claymore 9.7's 42H/s with low intensity mode on before v7.)

Does anyone know how to keep windows and everything from being totally unusable on all these miners?
(like clay's -li low intensity mode, which doesn't seem to be related at all to actual intensity.)

Best of luck to everyone.

Keep us posted, I have the same issues with Radeon 5770.

easy, lower the intensity and problem solved

I can't even use a higher intensity in the first place.

Claymore v9.7 allows me to have 320 hash threads -> 176 H/s and with low intensity option my PC is perfectly usable for other tasks.

All all other miners max out at 100 H/s and the PC is lagging hard! If I try to use intensity 320, the entire PC freezes.

And yes, I've tried 14.4 drivers.

Srbminer is helping you to use these old cards, so be patient.
