LDS is not a limit, so dpp instructions may not help much. Seems not worth doing.

yuzi-co commented 5 years ago

considering there is no proper windows amd miner for cuckoo, maybe it is worth it ;)

fancyIX commented 5 years ago

@yuzi-co doesn’t Bminer support windows? At least they are working on AMD support. Soon it will be in new release.

yuzi-co commented 5 years ago

@fancyIX, BMiner supports AMD only for Beam algo. All others are NVidia only

MaynardMiner commented 5 years ago

User base really needs a cuckaroo29 miner that can support nicehash and compile in linux.

Someone already wrote a kernel for AMD.

@MaynardMiner Thanks for the info. Will work on it once I have time...
