The latest update of the AMD OpenCL GPU miner lolMiner 0.9.2 brings some extra performance boost for the GRIN-AT31 (Cuckatoo 31 algorithm) on 8GB and 16GB video cards of up to +5% on AMD Polaris and AMD Vega GPUs and up to +10 on AMD Navi GPUs. The latest version also adds experimental support for GRIN-AT31 and Polaris, Vega and VII using AMD ROCm drivers under Linux. The lolMiner 0.9.2 has added range checks to GRIN-AT31 code for improved stability as well as added function to call external watchdog scripts in case a GPU fails during mining (if the miner detects no action of a GPU for at least a minute it will call the included reboot scripts).
Grin C31 lolMiner 0.9.2 expected hashrates:
– AMD Radeon VII (stock): 1.79 G/s
– AMD Radeon VII (1340/1000/0.825v, 130W): 1.37 G/s
– AMD Vega FE (stock): ~1.3 G/s
– AMD Vega 56 (1220/900/0.825v, 130W): 1.0 G/s
– AMD RX 5700 (Red Dragon, stock): 0.91 G/s
– AMD RX 580 8GB: 0.56 G/s
We remind you that lolMiner is a closed source OpenCL GPU miner available for Windows and Linux as pre-compiled binaries only and that there is a 1% developer fee for using the software for all supported algorithms. The miner should work on Nvidia GPUs with OpenCL, however stability and performance could be far from optimal, so it is best for use with AMD GPUs. For Nvidia GPU miner with support for Cuckatoo 31 you can check out the latest GMiner, NMBiner or some of the other option like BMiner etc.
