No cpu mining. The new Upx2 algo is the case.

I just tested it with Mox and the cpu is at 15-20% on the same rig.

Yes it looks like something is killing the cpu with upx2, going to check it out maybe i can do something about it.

Great, thanks a lot:)

Ok i found a temporary fix/workaround until i fix it.
If you use "old_mode" the cpu usage will be normal. Only drawback is that you can't use auto settings if you want to use "old_mode", you need to set up things manually, or in gpu_conf.

I use a batch start file for single coins that take values from text files(pools, config and log). Does that mean that i have to use manual values for intensity, fragments,...?
So i can use the "old_mode" in my gpu config text file right?


If all gpu's use the same settings, you can do a simple as this in config file :

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "upx2",
"intensity" : 105,
"worksize" : 8,
"double_threads" : true,
"old_mode" : true,
}

Or if your gpu's don't have the same settings you can do :

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "upx2",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 105,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 1,
 "intensity" : 104,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 2,
 "intensity" : 106,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 3,
 "intensity" : 105,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
}
]
}
