Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt

Hi Bifius,

Can you please provide more details for the last fix (fix for ADL with R9 cards) for the R9 cards? I'm running 270x and 280x and was wondering how would my system benefit from this fix, more stable/better performance?

Thanks,
Deky

finally here it is

vertminer-0.5.3 released

windows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip
github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git

release notes:

Code:

Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014
- changed automatic TC calculation (again but still not finished / perfect...)
- increased max intensity to 21
- shaders are now used for intensity calculation
--> option shaders is set: intensity calculation tries to align to shaders count (can increase performance but also decrease with low intensity)
--> shaders NOT set: old cgminer intensity calculation is used
- opencl changed to keep speed with adaptive nfactor
- introduced first time dependent nfactor changes in code (not finally done yet)
- fix for ADL with R9 cards
