Will get this added asap, having a few delays with stuff, usual festive stuff with family and being unable to access a fully working pc to actually do things on
Recently tested an R7 240 (its pointless dont try)
Got the core clock to 1300 MHz (default 780), and the memory from 800 to 1300 also (tried upping the voltage from 1.15v all the way up to 1.4v but still couldnt push past that 1300mhz), huge boost in hashrate, from around 12kh/s to about 20 kh/s, this didnt last long sadly as the cards VRMs blew after just 3 days, poor thing, ohwell was a free gpu :D
If someone hands you a 7990, please don’t do the same overclock till burnout test… lol

You can bump the sapphire R9 290 Tri-x OC up from 333 to 340… The GPU’s came back from warranty replacement, and can get the juice cranked up a little with fans that aren’t failing…

Lol i wouldnt do it with a 7990, and the overclock was stable, just the vrms weren’t up to the job lol
If i had a 7990 id probably look into watercooling :P
The R7 240 temps stayed pretty low even at 1.4v, only just above 70c, its designed for 35w TDP, i unlocked it to 75 in the bios, and overclocked the clappers off it, it *seemed* alright xD

-e, --engine=N choose a NeoScrypt hashing engine
0 integer (default)
1 SSE2
2 SSE2 4-wayI was not aware of different ‘engines’ for hashing on CPU’s as I don’t CPU mine. What is the reason for them?
-
What is sse2?

What is sse2?
It’s an instruction set for CPU’s, pretty much all cpus nowadays have at least SSE2, even my 7 year old laptop (from core 2 duo era) has SSE3

Ah OK that makes sense :)

Spartan gets +many

I tested the miner on my laptop (Pentium T4400 @ 2.2GHz):
INT: appears to be the old engine (gets same hashrate etc), 4.4kh/s
SSE2: a little bit faster, causes my laptop to heat up a lot more, 4.8kh/s
SSE2-4way: even faster, not as hot as SSE2, 5.8kh/s
Also on my desktop (i7-3770K @ 4.0GHz):
INT: again appears default, 27kh/s
SSE2: not much improvement, 28kh/s
SSE2-4way: a bit better, 31kh/s
it seems that the sse2 and sse2-4way engines helps alot with older cpus which do not have as much number crunching power

Thanks GhostLander!WoW! I had never seen a CPU hash faster than a GPU!
By the way, why do old graphics cards hash so badly with neominers? I have a 5970 (and everybody knows it is not a bad one) and it can barely reach 26 kh/s with two cores. Is there hope that this will be fixed?

Worked great here for me once I understood the flag setup to use. I saw about the same results as was posted earlier.
Great work! Thank you!

Sydney are you still working on the site?
