Re: mkxminer: Fastest Lyra2Z miner for AMD videocards (ZCoin, GINcoin, Gentarium...)
Hey, great little miner!
Any chance it could be made to work with 7950's, 7970's and 280x?
Some of my aging farm it runs, but will not find a share.
Whats weird is: On a couple of old 7790's the miner works fine and receives share rewards lol
Ok, anything to help would be great! mining Lyra2z of course
THX!

Hi!
Yes, it is possible to make it work on older cards. But the speed is much slower, so not sure if it is even worth it.
For example, compare speed of R9 390 and RX 480. 390 is almost two times slower.
While on other algorithms, for example on Lyra2rev2, it is only about 10% - 20% slower.
Older generations, like Tahiti (7950, R9 280X) would have similar performance to R9 390 (prorated to the number of cores), so I expect R9 280X to be around 1.2MHs now.
I believe you can find a more profitable algo to mine on these old cards.
Thanks
