New miner doe seem to have lowered the temp a bit but... I have lost probably .5% to 1% hashrate at max settings...
Clocking my 7950 at 1200 and 1800 with +20 nets just under 190MH/s. Previously it was steady at 197MH/s or better with the python implementation.
BUT... I would gladly trade that for NOT HAVING TO MANUALLY RENAME AND CHANGE AMDOCL.DLL EVERY TIME I WANT TO MINE SKC!!!!!!!!!
In other words... this worked perfectly on Win 7 64 GCN drivers. Boom goes da dynamite!
You can simply replace skein.cl file with the one from previous version if it works for you better. As I am not sure what exactly slows it down on GCN (and if it depends on Catalyst version and how exactly if it does), I would rather not implement any dynamic code selection for specific cards in the miner itself.
Getting the same hash rate and temp on my 7970 at 1170MHz.
Getting an instant crash if I try with the older skein.cl with the new executable miner.
Exactly which version of skein.cl is exchangeable with which miner version?
Thanks for the updates and excellent work!!!
