Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner
Not neoscrypt, regular scrypt and scrypt-n!
I said "NScrypt" incorrectly when I ment scrypt nfactor, sorry.
I have been away from altcoin business too long.
But for scrypt, the difference is obvious.. 13.11 bin gives about 800kh/s on my 280x, and 700kh/s if compiled under 14.6, from the same source.
Always backup your bins when upgrading Catalyst, then you can try each version. Only compile time matters, there usually is no big difference what version Catalyst you are using at runtime..

It seems that the compiler changed a lot in 14.x. This might account for the difference. The scrypt/scrypt-n kernels should probably be revised and optimized for the new compiler.
