There is now a new ccMiner fork with support for the X15 algorithm available for Nvidia GPU miners thanks to djm34 (source). The X15 algorithm support is still a bit rough, but it works quite well already, so you can experiment with it and try mining with your GPUs. We have tried it on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti where we are getting about 1450 KHS hashrate when mining for a X15 crypto coin such as BitBlock, and from a GeForce GTX 780 Ti you can expect to get around 2600 KHS in terms of hashrate with this new miner.
We have compiled a windows binary of the new miner and you can download it from the link below. Do note however that the windows binary is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 cards (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it, otherwise you may be getting error for a missing DLL library.

The service offering users to sell their hashrate or rent mining rigs MiningRigRentals has added support for some new algorithms such as the new X15, as well as for Groestl, Nist5 and Keccak. Of course the service offers the quite popular at the moment X11 and X13 mining rigs as well as Scrypt, Scrypt-N and Sha-256, Blake-256 though these can also be found on other alternative services. If you are mining for coins or are willing to sell your hashrate in the service make sure that you are using the latest miners that offer the highest possible performance that were released in the last few days. Currently there are still not many rigs available for renting for the new algorithms, but since the interest in these is increasing we are probably soon going to see more rigs available for rent.

It seems that we are now moving from X11 and X13 to X15 as a few coins have already been launched or will be launched soon using the new X15 algorithm, so you need a new GPU miner in order to be able to mine them. Fortunately there is already a X15-capable fork of sgminer 5.0 beta available (source). We have compiled a windows binary that you can download and try below, our tests on an AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU have shown a hashrate of about 2300 KHS, so the performance is quite good when you consider that there are more algorithms in the X15 than in X13 and X11, so lower performance is to be expected.
