I'll just leave this here.

Damn, that's slow. Seems to scale almost perfectly with hardware memory bandwidth when comparing with Claymore's AMD miner. R9 290X has 3.7x theoretical memory bandwidth compared to 750 Ti and does around 600 H/s. Surprise, 600 / 3.7 comes to around 162. Same story with 270X and it's rougly 2x mem bandwidth. Guess that's not entirely unexpected since there's a whole lot of global memory access going on with the cryptonight algo. Still poking at it but I doubt it'll improve much without C&C level voodoo magic and that's well beyond my skillset Smiley

Nice work! What sort of power usage do you see?

Ah, right. Forgot to mention that. That particular rig is pulling around 270W from the wall when running cryptonight. I guess that qualifies as mini-good-news.
are you open sourcing ? (otherwise I am not seeing the point for telling us it exists but you can't use it... this is becoming a peculiarity of this thread somehow  Grin)

tsiv is the fabulous Smiley person who gave us x13.  So...
