[Dev] NeoScrypt Hardware Comparison Site

Hows about a twitter post from @neoscrypt too?

I’ve cross posted this on the phoenixcoin forum.

Also on a side note could you add a donation FTC address as I’d like to tip you for all the hard work you have been putting in on this. (Plus I can’t see signatures on my mobile)

Would be awesome :D

Added a donation address at the bottom of the main post :D will try see if i can add a donation address into the site aswell, if i can find a nice place to put it without it looking ugly or anything :)

100FTC on the way!

Keep working ;)

Holy… O.o thanks! i’d better get my brain in gear and get coding!

I’m working on the new submission page now, it will take a while to be actually functional since i have never properly worked with html form submissions and php before xD it’s both a learning experience and a cool project for a cool community :D

Sending 500, faster! :D

Send me a html/jquery/php programming guide while you’re at it :P JK! thanks! i really appreciate your support, i didnt expect it to get so much attention at first lol

I aim to get the new submissions page complete by mid weekend, and to start work on a login page for administration (to allow confirmations of new submissions etc)

I didnt get to sleep last night so im gonna crash out on the bed for a few hours, will continue work whatever time im can tomorrow :D

Certainly, any CPU’s or GPU’s you have that you could test with?

Technically GDDR5 is QDR, as it is “Quad Pumped” rather than “Double Pumped”, looked at the wikipedia page to clarify, its got all sorts of bits per pin per clock - no idea what they are but i do know GDDR5 is “Quad Pumped”, hence effective frequency is 4x its actual frequency

Octa Pumped memory could make things very interesting, we’d have graphics cards with 128GB/s+ memory bandwidth @ 1GHz actual frequency on 128 bit interfaces, never mind 256 / 384 / 512 bit interfaces. lol @ 512 bit 2GHz actual, 16GHz effective… 1TB/s effective data rate O.o

Anyway…

Please send me your hardware info and hashrates

Send me your cards details (manufacturers page is very useful), i shall add a submission page on the site shortly (trying to learn html + php for forms xD) which will make this easier.

Any overclock info you have applied and fanspeeds/profiles, also write if you are using a custom bios, e.g R9 270X bios on a HD 7870, or other modified bios.

Temperatures are welcome too, this can show if people are doing something wrong, also list if it is watercooled or not, as this will obviously effect temps

For proofs:

screenshot of your miner software

screenshot of EITHER (or both if you’re mining with both CPU and GPU at once like me)

-CPU-z (if its a cpu)

-GPU-z with both pages open at once (monitor and info)

Upload screenshots somewhere and post a link along with your miner config (remove any information you dont wish to share)

This is so i can add more accurate and detailed info :D

I will upload an example submission

But I’m on Linux!

SpartanC001

But I’m on Linux!

in that case, does linux have any utility to give exact clock rates of gpu/cpu? maybe grep something something | something :P ill have a look see what i can find :D

i remember using this: lshw -numeric -C display

when i was trying to debug a graphics related linux server crash, i think it pulls some info, but i will try and find a utility (unless you know one)

EDIT: this looks promising: http://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/ could probably use it to give info of both cpu and gpu :)

EDIT 2: So long as you can prove the hashrates and actual clockrates for cpu + ram / gpu core + vram, and what card it is (generic model number + specifi model number), i can pull most of the information off the other sites and find/calculate mem datarate/bus width myself, its just easier when i can read it off the screenshot.

When i get the sites submission page running, i will add in-depth instructions, for both linux/windows, and mac if i can get someone to do that (although… who actually uses a mac to mine on? lol)

For AMD cards there is the AMD Catalyst Control Center, which gives information about clock rates and more.

Not sure if all cards are supported.

For NVIDIA there is a tool called NVClock, that can set and read clock rates, but I think the latest cards are not supported. (… yet???)

SpartanC001

I forgot about CCC for amd in linux, i’ve used nvidia cards in linux before, but never amd ones, perhaps i should try lol, i have a copy of windows XP (32 bits) + a key, would this be very good for amd or nvidia mining with cgminer? (im looking to put together a few cards i have lying around from old pc’s (R7 240 + HD 4870) and maybe shoving in a couple of 5850’s if/when i can get my hands on some :D

and hell yes! http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

took me some time to get through that one! ive entered them now :D

thanks for the submission!

also, i’ve been trying to get sgminer working on my nvidia cards, but all it does is either crash the gpu driver, or produce endless hardware errors :( any tips?

Besides buying a couple of AMD cards ? :P

Check that OpenCL is functioning on the cards. You need to have an opencl compiler installed, dont know if it is included with the nvidia drivers, or if you need to download a OpenCL SDK/Runtime pack seperately for the Nvidia cards.

cgMiner runs fine (and compiles the bin etc), but it only manages a whimpy 34 kh/s on 660ti, and 39 on 770, i know nvidia isnt the best for opencl

Ive tried copying the cgminer bin to sgminer but all that does is kill the display driver, no matter what settings i try to use

I can tune my 660ti up to 50+ kh/s with it but it just makes hardware errors

What happens if you use a pristine install of sgminer 5.1.0-Dev ? Doesn’t it compile a neoscrypt kernel for your nvidia cards ?

SpartanC001

I will try again, i was trying with Wolf0’s optimized sgminer neoscrypt kernel, or perhaps that one was meant for cgminer?

Progress report: the submission form is actually getting a bit of progression!!!

############### Update News ###############

The “New Submission” page on the site is now working!

You can find it at: http://hw.neoscrypt.tk/new/

Please use that instead of posting submissions here!!!

############### Thanks ###############

Spartan, this is awesome! Thank you ahy!

I’ll pin this in dev for you if that’s ok.
