There are bugs in ADL, as always. If you have problems with clocks/voltage settings in 17.7.2 - either don't use these options or use previous drivers. I suspect it will take a lot of time to make it work properly... and then AMD will release another ADL update...

watching wattman, memory speed tick-tock from 625 to max defined in miner command line and back, every 2 seconds

Whole problem probably comes from here (driver release notes):

 Radeon WattMan(6)

        Now supports memory underclocking.
        Now supports power state controls.

I have strange hash rates with this one plus latest AMD driver...it gives
2 or 3 normal rounds, then drops down to about 1/4 of normal
then repeats...before slowdown round, fan on one of
cards go to zero

17.7.2 was weird for me on 9.7.   I saw as much as 20w increase on some cards which caused throttling.  I am afraid the driver that 'fixes' the dag problem is going to suck Sad


This is how it looks like:

I actually do watch memory errors, thats why me and you have worse results than some scammers Smiley
I have 13.8-13-9 with the same card as you

So, I'll have to fight again with Hynix to get close to your 13.8 Mh/s.

It was actually about 14.4 until recently, only thing that changed meantime is new epoch,
but since my micron based Gigabyte took almost no drop, I'm a bit confused here

Its probably minerscott1986 again

He brought us 16+ on RX560s, he cracked Nvidia BIOS encryption and made straps modification
possible, and now this!

Bad idea.

1. How good is the physical security in your office e.g. gatepass for equipments coming in/out? You might be able to bring it inside the office but you may not be able to take it out.
2. That might be construed as "stealing" company resources. You bringing in a personal equipment and use company utilities for personal gain - electricity, space or computer space. You'll possibly face HR sanctions if your personal equipment is found out.
3. You'll introdude risk to your companies network infrastructure, opening network ports for mining, etc. What if a malware infects your company's computer/network system thru your miner?

If you are in control of your test PC lab and test internet network that is totally separate from production network and with no need to bring in a personal equipment, better, as that would minimize the risk to your company network and risk of an equipment being personally associated to you as well. Just run a test, not a miner running 24x7.

He probably lives in some 3rd world dump where there are no such strict policies Cheesy

Judging by your posts here you are not much better.

@OP

If company you work for is doing something IT related, it could be a problem just like Alpha0One1 said, because it could be security risk for them. If it's not IT related, and they have some spare room, sure why not.

Yes I do, thats how I know

Hi guys!
I have Gigabyte GV-RX560 GAMING OC-4GD (Hynix(((), without overclocking I have 10.6 Mh/s.
Overclocking memory to 2000, brings an insignificant result. I have over9000 times tried to flash BIOS with different timings, but without success. Once I saw 16 Mh/s, but the driver left at once.
Substituting timings from Micron got 14 Mh/s at 2000 memory frequency it seems kind of stable, but HWinfo shows a lot of memory errors.
The best that could be achieved is 12.9 Mh/s and the overclocking of the memory of 1850 (with a small number of errors). I did not see in this topic that someone paid attention to memory errors. The question is: why does no one monitor errors? P.S.: GPU8 is 1050Ti. P.P.S: Sorry for my french.

I'm curious at what voltages GDDR5 chips REALLY work...Hynix datasheets
mention 1.35, 1.5 and 1.55V, yet I see 0.8-1.1 range everywhere (wattman, GPU-Z,
hwinfo...)

This is the memory controller you are seeing afaik.

...and that means what? Memory voltage is memory controller voltage + some other voltage?

Strange thing that I noticed with my cards, in solo mining they do 14.5-14.7 Mh/S in Ethash.
But, when I add DCR, performance in Ethash increases up to 15.2-15.3 mh/s + 100-130 mhs in DCR.

IF you mine ethereum, epoch is 136 already, I guess RX560 does 14.5 Mh/s at most. because of huge dag file.

It just means you didn't find right value for -dcri when solo mining Smiley

14.5 is probably top of the line for the Hynix memory, but for micron its around 15.7 for my gigabyte card...
I actually didn't try to push it further (micron) but maybe I'll try one of these days
4132  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 560 4GB Ethereum on: July 31, 2017, 12:13:54 PM


Anyone having timing straps like these?
Everywhere i look i see the normal 200, ...2000 ones


Yes...it means you're using wrong bios editor for your card...try srbpolariseditor

Thank you Branko.
May i ask you whether or not that msi rx 560 aero 4gb with hynix memory can pass 13mh/s point?
I'm far away from being an expert in edtiting bios and stuff but copying and pasting timing straps is as far as i can go.

Yes, it should be possible, even with just copy/pasting default straps

So, I paid for (.3 ETH) the modified 560 bios that minerscott posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2024062.msg%msg_id%

He assured me that it would work for my XFX single fan 560 (hynix). I repeated the same steps I've used multiple times with other cards - and his supplied bios file rendered the GPU inoperable (in both Windows and EthOS). He assured me that I just needed to try again, which I did, with the same result. It ended up being a lot of frustration just trying to get the cards working again.

He was very nice (we've got probably 20x emails back and forth), and gave me a different bios to try, which also failed. He then went unresponsive and it has been a week since he has emailed me. I'm out the ETH and have my GPU's plodding along at roughly 12/Mh, thanks to a free bios somebody posted elsewhere. If anybody has a link to better version I'd love to have it.

I'm not going to rule out that life simply got in the way, so if you're reading this Scott, I'm happy to listen to an explanation and will take this down if you can either supply a working bios or refund my payment. This is basically my only option at this point.

Not looking for sympathy - I clearly should have invested the time into figuring this out myself. Looked for an easy way out and paid for it.  Won't be paying for bios files anymore.


It goes both ways...I gave my 15.6MH/s bios for free, just asked for donations, and ended up with mere 0.12 ETH from 300+ people that downloaded it Smiley

If you post your BIOS here I could try modify it for you (for free Cheesy )

I didn't make much progress with Hynix, but you should still get around 13.5 at least, I think

Hi folks,
That's my tunned BIOS for Sapphire RX560 4GB OC. Memory Vendor Micron
I modified timing(1750 strap) and default clocks for core(1125) and memory(2125).
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqQLGRQnA2OOVNwVjlMVkEzQms 
 I am getting 15.1-15.2 MH/S in Eth + 100-115Mh/s in DCR
Proof:
Very stable.
Donations are welcome:
ETC 0x16c7d279423b79d46b6d94fd372dee018300ea81
EXP 0xe34ffcbe0b4735847b8e0d542328437ab495983a






which model do you have

I bet he has Sapphire RX560 4GB OC. Memory Vendor Micron...but I could be wrong

Hey guys! Anyone tried this new AMD driver that has been released a few days ago.
Claymore said AMD will release a new driver that solves DAG hashrate drop. This might be it?

Is it THAT hard to read previous max 10 posts?

Or even just first one on this page?
4137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 560 4GB Ethereum on: July 28, 2017, 08:00:28 PM
Radeon RX 560 2G  for mining??

Hi,

From the hashrate I calculated for a 4GB, you should go for Expanse or Musicoin + DCR, Dual Mining.
You should get using Claymore 9.7, with modded BIOS, something like 13.5 MH/s EXP + 350 MH/s DCR.

Sia coin is not very profitable on RX560.

Good luck.
Memory   128 bit Memory Bus
GDDR5 Memory Type
1750 MHz, 7000 MHz Effective
2 GB Size


Yes, those are standard memory numbers for the 2GB RX560s...but why you put it here?
4138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.7 (Windows/Linux) on: July 28, 2017, 06:18:20 PM
We have a new driver from AMD the DAG for polaris is fixed in this situation?

NOT YET. They know the issue and can fix it, though.

How do we know that if claymore miner doesn't work well with new driver?

Because if they're actually updating it with a Polaris fix, it'd be really fucking hard to break it? They probably won't be majorly modifying the OpenCL toolchain, but even if they did - Claymore stores his kernels (except the ASM ones) in AMD IL, because fewer people can read it... and the ASM kernels are just specific to the GPU ASIC in use - I haven't taken apart his later miner versions to see what they do, but I would bet he's storing the ASM kernels as flat binary (of course, probably encoded with some cute little shit like he's done on his kernels before.)



I probably have wrong logic here because you sound so confident, but anyway...are you saying that if they don't change anything regarding OpenCL, drivers will break,
but if they DO change something, they will work well?

I tried the latest AMD Drivers - 17.7.2, no improvement.

How did you manage to do proper OC with latest driver? My two RX560s dropped from 29.8MH/s to
24.8MH/s and whatever I try to do, its locked at 24.8

Impressive hashrate - almost 15Mhs. What is make and model and settings?

Both Gigabyte, one with Micron memory, one with Hynix...micron one is around 1MH/s faster
