It looks like recent Windows update removes xmrig from exceptions and it has to be manually added again

This and github actions fix probably contributed to hashrate drop from 2600+ to 2200 MH/s

hey guys, anyone have benchmarks for RX 6800 XT?

or any Radeon with infinity cache?

pointless to run on GPUs

I know but I wonder if the infinity cache helps over nvidia’s GPUs

Not looking for profit just academic curiosity

I haven't seen any benchmarks of RDNA2 GPUs

looking at xmrchain.net/randomx/2346463, each program has ~30 branches

if it's 1/256 a branch will be taken, that gives you a 1-(255/256)^30 = 10% chance of any branch being taken per program

.9^8= .40

per iteration

=60% chance of failure

each program runs 2048 iterations

as long as you can speed up by more than 2.5x, should be worth it?

each branch is taken 8 times per program, on average

sech1: do the programs just loop?

yes

how can they run 8 times in expectation?

10% of any branch for each execution

how many times over are programs looped?

2048

each program 2048 times

> RANDOMX_PROGRAM_ITERATIONS 2048

well there you go

how dastardly, hiding such info like that

Yeah, imagine you're talking to someone about the movie you're going to see, and instead of saying, say, "what time is the movie tonight", you say "what time is the ENTERTAINMENT_OBJECT ENTERTAINMENT_SUBJECT, please refer to my earlier definitions before replying, thank you".

"You're so not gonna go see the movie with us", is gonna be the reply.
