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

Important: the automatic TC calculation is only performed if you do not set TC manually and this is only an estimation what could be the best.
Manual tuning TC is in most cases the best you can do.

Copy from the main thread:

Hi, just so you're aware, I'm getting around 100kh/s less with this version compared to 0.5.2 on 280X (both of them)!

My config is the same:

del *.bin
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:3333 -u x -p x --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1460 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-85 --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90


0.5.2 ~ 350kh/s on 2nd card, ~ 280kh/s on card connected to display
0.5.3 ~ 250kh/s on 2nd card, ~ 200kh/s on card connected to display
