Anyone try the new AMD drivers for mining? Any results or thoughts?

Yep Smiley A lot of person was scpetical about R9 Fury.
But the GPU is really great and backed with a fu.cking fast mem ! And the best thing is that I bought them on discount for 240€ each.

The key, is the undervolting (-96 mV with AfterBurner) and reducing the max tdp (mine are -48% on Zcash for 410-430 H/s depending of the card, and something like 26 MH/s on ETH with those setting).
Back in the days, I made a video for a guy who don't want to believe in my results : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y86VLJirwN8
I was with Claymore 7 so the perf is less than the 400+ H/s from now. I'll try to record a new one.
But you can see the kill-o-watt meter + the second rig offline (no power draw) + the 5 Fury rig running

The Fury are really good, the only bad thing it's that they are huge and require 2x8pin PCI-E so you have to have a good PSU with a lot of cables.
That is why I was thinking about a card reseller and go for a new one ... but It seems that for now, it's the best.

I'll wait VEGA and the GTX 1170 to see



I am like 95% sure those cards needed a lot less power with CM7 than they need now.
I am running a -96 mV undervolt which gives me 455@200W.

I have reduced the TDP as you suggested but neither hashrate nor the power draw changed. Still at 200W.

Reduced core to 1000 (I usually run 1050).
Hashrate dropped to 435. Power dropped to 170W.
I can see that card lowered core voltage by 0.05V with this move, pretty cool didnt know it can do that.

I think your furies are drawing near 170W right now as well Wink
Still thats an interesting setup, -20h/s for 30W, not bad, thanks for the tip.
Nope, power is limited
They consume the same than with cm7 Smiley
I'll post a New video

+1 on the Fury's. I have about the same results with the two in my rig. I wish they were still available (or had the $$ to buy more when they were on sale with a rebate!)

I just pulled the trigger on a 580 card. Should be here early next week. I'm a bit nervous because I have read in the forms that 580's don't like to play well with Win 7, Catalyst 5.12, and Claymore. I have two slots open on my OLD OLD Intel Core-Duo MB so I would like to use the 580 in the same rig as my 2 fury's and one r9 290 (which hash out 1150 drawing 600-610w at the wall with basically the setting described above). I also do not want to spend $$ to set-up a second rig. 

Anyone have any advice on the set-up? Can it be done?

Hello,

I'm mining with a AMD R9 290 SAPPHIRE.
I'm wondering if someone can help me to modify the bios for lower consumption please?

many thanks.

I found that using MSI Afterburner and playing with the core voltage settings (mine is now at -100), the intensity settings in the miner software, and the powlim settings, that I could reduce power consumption significantly without the loss of much Hashing capability. I measured the power draw with a plug in monitor at the wall.

I'm getting averages 1150/hs with one r9 290 and two r9 Fury's using 600w of power using the stock BIOS.

 

Thanks man, what are your settings in claymore for the r9 290 please?

MSI Afterburner core voltage at -100 (as far down as it will go). Saved with "apply overclock settings at startup'  Claymore:  -i6, powlim -45

I'm thinking about selling my 280x cards and buy new ones for better power consumption.
Which is better? AMD RX 480 or Nvidia GTX 1070?


I am paying too much for power and mining is just an hobby for me. I'll sell my 4x r9 280x cards and buy two RX480 or GTX 1070 and maybe add more cards later.


I'm running one r9 290x and two Fury's right know (also a hobbyist).  They do use electricity and I am running them with stock bios and settings! What do you calculate your wattage savings to be by changing cards?

I'm mining in flypool using claymore miner last version. From time to time i noticed that the miner found a share but then the "share accepted" doesnt appear neither the "share rejected". Im pretty sure is an issue with flypool but i want to know if u guys having this issues too. Thanks

I do see that from time to time. Also their stats for H/s do not match up with Claymore's (even taking into consideration the fees). Flypool's "average H/s"  stats are consistently around 5% less than Claymore shows. But the pool, for me anyway, has been solid with regular payouts.

It would be nice to know why there are discrepancies.

Sounds good. TY.

We did find a solution to at least 2 of the issues, but there are more things we need to handle. Actually it is requiring some thousands of lines of code to get it as stable as we want it to be.

Please be patient and know that we are working our asses off to get this done.

Thanks for your support,
Jonathan



Thank you for your great work!

I have an issue with my leonArdo. There was a "crash" when I attempted a normal shutdown of the program. When I went to use it the next time, I do not have more than 6 or so hours of history showing in my charts.

How do I fix this?

Thank you!

 

Is this still an issue?

If so, you could try deleting the hidden .leonArdo folder which is in your home directory. Make sure you have your API keys saved before doing so.

Let me know if you have your history data back!

Best wishes,
Jonathan

It's been an issue on and off since I started to use Leonardo some time ago, especially with new coins (there might be a 1 month history, but I would see less than 24 hours). I did delete the hidden directory, restarted and re-entered my API info (Poloniex). and added just one trading pair. BTC/USDT and had the same issue. I closed Leo again, rebooted my computer (Mac) and tried again. Same issue. Close program and waited about 10 minutes did not choose to open last session and picked my usual trading pairs. It took some time to load, but the history was there.

If there is anything I could do (send logs or something) to help you see the problem, let me know. I really love your software, keep up the good work!

Hi Guys,

Looking to buy a couple more GPU's.  Power is not an issue thus I am simply looking for the best value.  I can get second user 7970's for about £70 or 290x's for around £110.  I guess its best to go for the 290x's?

thanks
dd

Newegg has fury x for 253 dollars. If you buy 290x run them at a target temperature of 87 celcius to keep the fan noise down. They are designed for 95 celcius so 87 is not a problem.

Can I ask where you find the information on temperatures for cards? I have mine all set at 75c to be safe, but there is fan noise. I would be interested in knowing.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v12.3 (Windows/Linux) on: March 09, 2017, 10:55:01 PM
To all: you can see low speed at highest possible "-i" value, if so, reduce it. For example, you specify "-i 8" for 280X 3GB card, miner reduces it to "-i 7" automatically (shows "not enough GPU memory" message), but it may work much slower than "-i 6".
So if you see that new version is slower than old version - try to reduce "-i" value a bit.
In some cases you can increase "-i" value, for example, in my tests Nano cards work best with v12.2 using "-i 7", but for v12.3 "-i 8" is faster.

@Claymore Can you make something to improve 380 series? Currently I have 210H. Too low... Thank you in advance

Tonga is really weak for ZEC.

why my nano can't use -i 8?

AMD Cards available: 3
GPU #0: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 56 compute units
GPU #1: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 64 compute units
GPU #1 recognized as Fury X/Nano
GPU #2: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 64 compute units
GPU #2 recognized as Fury X/Nano
POOL version
GPU #0 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #0 algorithm ASM, intensity 7
GPU #1 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #1 algorithm ASM, intensity 7
GPU #2 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #2 algorithm ASM, intensity 7

Make sure you set these env variables:

GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

gunna sound noobish, but where do you set these variables? i never worked it out lol but never seemed to need too

In your start.bat file is easiest:
SETX GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
SETX GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
SETX GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

This reply makes me curious, should the missing variables:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

that are recommended in the README!!! file still be set? I keep them just because it says so, but I have newer "higher end" cards.

1. What I notice is that in watching Zcash manager that the hash rate of the cards varies by 10% or so. the r9 fury from 408-449 (running at -I 7), and the r9 390x from 804-845 (running at -i8). I've played around with the intensity settings and these produce the best "average" hashrate in my rig. Is the variance due to mining difficulty? Is this normal?

2. When looking at Flypool's payout statistics, I notice that some blocks are "missed."  It will say payout "to block" 74157. the next entry will say payout "from block" 74159. There are usually 2 and sometimes three blocks missing during each payout. Anyone know why?
1. variance is due to many reasons, practically normal
2. Pool can not find every block so not pay for every one. Just for found blocks...
ppl: read a bit about mining, pools, blocks...
It is like you drive a taxi without knowing is your car petrol, diesel or electric

Thank you for the reply. When I drive, I just like to turn the vehicle on, put in "D" and press the pedal.  Wink

I have a question about the operation of my rig and one about mining on flypool if anyone can shed some light on them it would be appreciated!

I am mining with two cards a Sapphire r9 390x 8G and a Sapphire r9 Fury 4G (I like Sapphire cards), using 15.12 drivers, and the "updated" Claymore 12.2 (Thank you Mr. Claymore)!

1. What I notice is that in watching Zcash manager that the hash rate of the cards varies by 10% or so. the r9 fury from 408-449 (running at -I 7), and the r9 390x from 804-845 (running at -i8).

Any thoughts or help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi I am new to this software and am loving it!  I would like to make an automated rule that would emulate the bottom "generate subsequent order" boxes without having to manually enter the profit and click the sell button.

For example:
If/When last bid is met, generate a subsequent ask order at (for example) 5% profit (minus fees).
If/When this new ask order is met a subsequent bid order, with the new pair values, at (for example) 5% profit (minus fees) is generated.
An so on...

Seems simple, but cannot figure it out using the "rules." Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

I just starting using at ver. 1.20.1. I am having trouble changing the fee amount in the Bitfinex account window, doesn't allow me to enter anything. What am I doing wrong?

Its automatically getting fee amount from your account via API

Very nice. Thank you!
