Great thread so far guys, keep it up!

I'm just getting started with scrypt-adaptive here, feels like scrypt all over again, doesn't it?  Grin

Here's my findings so far on a pair of Asus R7 260x's. Bonaire's a pain in the rear as usual. I'll post for my 7870LE's, 6950, 7950's, 7850's, and R9 290's as I figure them all out and optimize them. I thought I'd work on Bonaire first since there's not much info out there.

I'm mining with CGMinerAleks_NR3, as I can't get anything to work on these Bonaire cards with Vertminer 0.5.3.

Here's my .bat:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o x -u x -p x --failover-only -o x -u x -p x --no-submit-stale --gpu-platform 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 20 --lookup-gap 4 --gpu-threads 1 --gpu-fan 65 --thread-concurrency 14208 --gpu-engine 1200 --gpu-memclock 1800 --gpu-powertune 20

This nets me around 117khs per card. No HW errors. Strangely I got the best results with one thread and a lookup gap of 4. It looks like these cards can be pretty energy efficient if you have enough of them going, but I wouldn't run out and buy a bunch of them. They only pull about 250khs on normal scrypt.

If this helps anybody, feel free to tipmeh!!!  Cheesy
