@doktor83 I'm pretty sure that you are aware of all these occasions, I mean with the hashdrop.
Cards with 4gb memory dont have this issue, at least to me. They reach maximum hashspeed immediately.
The problem is with the 8gb cards.
Whenever I start your miner one of them, sometimes more, can go up to maximum, others no and they stay low all the time
even after 2,3,4 hours of mining.
Next time I'm starting your miner some other cards or card do the opposite thing. It's a random situation.
To help things out, you of course the developer of a great miner to me, I found out that running GPU-Z at the time your miner runs
and passing throu all cards one by one and then exiting, voula all cards running full speed. Problem solved.
But of course this is not a solution!!!
Maybe something with the interrupts?
I'm trying to help!

I wanted to try this, and I got 1000 h/s across the board just by firing up GPU-Z.. Awesome. Wish I had known this earlier! The GPU-Z launch was unusually slow... Very strange! Whatever it is doing to the gpu's, SRB can do too, this gives me hope.
GPU-Z is 2.8.0, and I'm ignoring the update to 2.9.0 in case it works differently, lol.
recently I read your post and perform the test, it's true, gpu-z increases the hash, my old card 6870 of 140 h/s a 200 h/s
Hi there, I've had a problem with every miner around since the monero pow change, since the only miner I was able to use was Claymore 9.7beta without it crashing my display drivers.
I've tried xmr-stak, xmrig-amd, newer claymore's (No ASM bin found for my old card.) and about anything else that is supposed to work, I've compiled all the ones available and tried
with stock binaries on windows..
Display drivers crash no matter which version I try.. 14.4 15.7, 15.11-beta (for some reason this one is tricky to find.) Even tried the crimson edition beta which I've found out doesn't
actually include any assembler/disassembly tools for openCL.. Anywho..
Display card: AMD Ati Radeon 6530D (Evergeen or BeaverCreek as it picks it up everywhere.)
Cpu: AMD A6-3620 APU w/ the onboard 6530D
I've tried all 4 kernels out, all kill display, and of course can't get ADL to work, but I'd be highly surprised if that could even work at all anyways on this gpu.
All in all I really don't know what to do, or even try anymore.. I'd lend a hand if I could for getting what is needed to make these A-Series APUs to work. I haven't really seen anything in
the code for the other miners like xmrig/xmr-stak that would be a problem.. But I noted for some reason Claymore is posting exact driver versions for all of their releases, and wondering
how they are able to compile against them specifically, or if that just happens to be what they were using when compiling...
Any help is appreciated, and I'd love to get back to mining on my gpu, had a ton more shares and efficiency even at 42H/s and that's better than 0 since it's on 24/7 anyways.
Here are a couple screenshots for how it's acting and what it catches, and second is showing when display was killed and came back.

Thanks, you really are saving miner's lives with this miner and I hope you keep at it.. So I tip my hat to you Doc.

hi, remove drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, install 14.4 and try SRBMINER 1.4.6 --userkernel 4 for XMR use "normalv7"
and start with a very low intensity like 5, and only 1 thread
Ok well I used DDU and found the correct 14.4 drivers.. seems the last one wasn't actually installing for some reason.. anyways now all other miners work as well.
Only one issue really is the intensity setting, I can only go up to 2.0. 2.1 or higher kills display driver or gives the CL invalid buffer.. tried all 4 kernels and worksizes, kernel 2 seems to be the best
at 14H/s compared to 12-13H/s on 3 & 4 kernels. I was wondering if the gpu kernels having "256" in them as being the hash size? and if so, is there a way to lower or give a CLI option to change them or
maybe a 128 version? If that isn't the case, oh well.
(126 intensity seemed to be the optimal number for xmr-stak for some odd reason, also with a 35.9H/s which isn't to far off of the original claymore 9.7's 42H/s with low intensity mode on before v7.)
Does anyone know how to keep windows and everything from being totally unusable on all these miners?
(like clay's -li low intensity mode, which doesn't seem to be related at all to actual intensity.)
Best of luck to everyone.
easy, lower the intensity and problem solved
Claymore v9.7 allows me to have 320 hash threads -> 176 H/s and with low intensity option my PC is perfectly usable for other tasks.
All all other miners max out at 100 H/s and the PC is lagging hard! If I try to use intensity 320, the entire PC freezes.
And yes, I've tried 14.4 drivers.
Srbminer is helping you to use these old cards, so be patient.

hello dok, in my 6950 I get 355 h / s with I 54.5 W 16 with OC 840/1250 usekernel 3, 90% similar to claymore 9.7, sincerely I would like you to explain how the usekernel option works to better understand the configuration, thanks and congratulations for the work done to these old gpu.
I also have a 6870 with I 22.5 W 8 and I get 170 ~ 200 h / s with OC 950/1150 usekernel 3, with claymore 9.7 I get 250, I think it can improve a bit, thank.
If you need access to my platform to perform tests, I'm willing to help.

simple, those are opencl kernels. 1 is for gcn cards, 2 is same kernel like 1 but changed a few rhing to make it work on old cards, 3 and 4 is something i was experimenting.
Thanks DOK, do you recommend using kernel 2 for those cards?

hi, remove drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, install 14.4 and try SRBMINER 1.4.6 --userkernel 4 for XMR use "normalv7"
oh too soon, it gives invalid results 
I recommend that you use this miner (SRBMiner), xmr-stak performs fewer solutions than SRB
oh too soon, it gives invalid results
flash bios 6950 to 6970 and use this config; 360 h/s xmr-stak drivers 14.4 // gpu: Cayman memory:1663
// compute units: 24
{ "index" : 1,
"intensity" : 874, "worksize" : 19,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "strided_index" : 1, "mem_chunk" : 2,
"comp_mode" : true
},
is xmr stak using your cpu too to get that result? 
cause to be honest i dont believe its faster, i looked at their opencl nothing is there that could give a boost for those old cards.

no, but their solutions are slow, that's why I'm exploring other miners. with SRB I get less hash but more solutions. your miner works better than xmrig and from my perspective, similar to claymore 9.7 , for that reason I use your miner.

Hello everyone!
Does this miner support TeraScale/VLIW Radeon GPUs?
Does this miner support TeraScale/VLIW Radeon GPUs?
it should work, but you wont get speeds like on old claymore.
Which card do you have?
And yeah, hashing speed is only half compared to Claymore v9.7...
download v 1.4.3 and add --usekernel 3 in the bat like this :
%EXE% --config config.txt --pools pools.txt --usekernel 3
this is a test kernel im working on for those oldies
Thanks for caring about old GPUs (most devs don't), I'll give it a try!
Another problem with all miners I've tried (except Claymore v9.7) is that there is no "low intensity" option, which means the UI is lagging a lot (if you want to use your PC while mining).
I wish someone could replicate Claymore v9.7 characteristics and I'd gladly pay a mining fee...
can you download 1.4.4 now and try again with --usekernel 3 parameter in bat, but set start intensity to 10 , and use only 1 thread. Then work up the intensity as much as you can.
I tried intensity to 10, 67 H/s only, then I increased it to 12 and the entire PC froze. :\
I don't understand why GPU mining it's so hard compared to CPU mining where you just set the available CPU cores...
Radeon 5770 (Juniper) has 800 ALUs (10 Compute Units x 16 SIMD x 5 ALUs).
I don't even understand what intensity is supposed to do ALU-wise... why not allow us to set ALUs manually?
Claymore uses hashcount option and optimal value is 320 hashes (320 ALUs?), 2MB each = 320 x 2 = 640MB of VRAM needed. The GPU has 1024MB of VRAM, so I can still use the PC while mining with no lagging.
Is it so hard to write proper VLIW assembly (from what I've heard at least) and only Claymore has mastered this art of programming? Just wondering...
hi DOK, I get 320 h/s and with claymore 9.7 360 h/s, both results with OC, excellent work, a little more and you get over it, congratulations. (DISCUSS MY ENGLISH, I USE GOOGLE TRANSLATOR JAJAJAJAJA)
