Profit is really low lately...

Huh? Compared to?
No kidding jump on X13 right now Smiley u cant expect PW to do it all use your head Smiley

Shit looks like I need to get on X13 now huh....

from x11 to x13 it just takes less than a minute to reconfigure everything. Almost all x11 settings work out of the box, it uses the same sgminer, a readily available kernel and likes the same graphic card drivers. Hell, it took just 10 seconds to restart cgwatcher with the another batch file.  Where is the problem?
 
You should know better to assume that one size fits all in the mining world. I've been lax myself in getting X13 configured, as my attempts to use even the latest release of SGminer 5, compiled by nicehash was met with cards not recognized at all when launching. I finally settled on a 4.1 version that was modded for x13 and x11 that did indeed work and I'm moving over now. No idea why I cannot use the release compiled by nicehash, and a few others, but I suppose I should compile myself.

Updating 50 rigs isn't a quick task, but it's usually worthwhile, and I'm on 12 of 50 so far. Smiley  I just need to go back and figure out why SGminer 5.0 won't work for me, perplexing to say the least, as I don't see a similar issue from others.. I get a "clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable" error when I launch, and it isn't a driver issue, as the machine mines just fine with other versions.

Just hoping Xn takes us through the summer! Smiley

Fair enough, I shouldn;t have assumed that. However, from all the switches we had to make, x11 --> x13 is by far the easiest. While I don;t have as many rigs as you do, all our 290s systems required just the new X13 kernel. Same 4.1.0 sgminer, same drivers, no config change.

Btw, I see many ppl assume that everybody is mining on *nix systems. Why? windows works good enough, no driver hassle, cgwatcher friendly, easy to upgrade. Is it just because of a need for a hdd and some more ram?
