first mistake was buying an fpga lol , 2nd mistake buying and fpga/asic
.....waaaait, what !? FPGA is the future, you will see. Using much less power than any CPU/GPU/ASIC ! Which counts TODAY ! ....comprende? We will see who's right ;-) Yes we will see XD lol |

Hi Patrike, Bug report: GMINER ORDER WRONG RIG-1 7 AMD Cards mining ETH with claymore  6 Nvidia Cards mining BEAM with Gminer  If i set Gminer, it will only recognize the Nvidia Cards in GPU selection, but it must show all cards, because Gminer can use AMD and Nvidia. The problem at the moment is, he recognize only Nvidia cards and set the wrong order. If i set use all GPUīs, it will mine BEAM with alle 13 Cards. If i set use only the Nvidia Cards in GPU selection, it will set -d 0 1 2 3 4 5 in commandline but this is the wrong order. The right order is -d 3 4 5 7 8 12 I hope you understand the problem? XMRIG AND NANOMINER USE THE SAME CONFIG If i set a config for RandomX and Nanominer in ManagedMiner Properties Config File, XMRig use the same config. I think this is bug.   |

My GPU was very old, but luckily, a friend gifted me a MSI Radeon R9390, so I decided to play around with it and see what kind of hash rate/return I could achieve. This is primarily a gaming/workstation.
This is my first time setting up a miner, and have only been mining/learning for a week. I started with awesome miner/claymore dual, but soon found it easier to edit claymore start.bat the way i liked, and launched that directly instead. I chose miningpoolhub for no discernible reason.
I chose to use afterburner to set my clock. I found AMD software to crash easily. currently, the sweet spot is -100Mv 1120Mhz/1550 18.3Mh/s ETH 103W. the lower voltage significantly reduced heat. FYI stock setting is 0Mv 1040/1500 17.5Mh 130W with more heat. Overclocking is terrible.
The reason im posting is to get a little feedback about my approach so far. this is something im doing for fun/learning, so "not worth it" replies aren't what im looking for. what do you think of my mining software/settings/pools/etc?
BTW can i flash my card and still game? is flashing risky?
Cheers
Mem clock over 1500 is bad for R9390, because the mem timings are to bad. 1500 Mem clock is enough and better. But this is a bad card for mining. it slowdown every new DAG epoch. |

Like many already said, put a 8gb as first gpu and it should extend its use for some months more. There is still to be seen if 4gb will work with progpow. Funny, going back 2017, many said 4gb would not be a problem cause pos would be before 2021, at this very moment, still uncertain when pos will be deployed.
LOL XD Metroid you are not a miner so please shut up. Use the internal GPU as first GPU and you donīt need this "fix" and this will extend your mining time by 1 or 2 weeks nothing more and only helps on windows. |

After waking up i noticed it was mining again, looks like it was out most of the night though. Back to business as usual  Out of curiosity, how much ZIL you get per, lets say, 100MH/s per day? With around 950mh i get 70 - 140 zil every day. It varies greatly |

I've mined with a few ASICs before, which was nice and easy. I find GPU mining a bit more difficult, for lack of coins and software. For instance I can't modify an old Bitcoin release and use an old Bitcoin GPU miner to experiment with (or any coin that uses same proof of work).
GPUs should be quite flexible (still) if not profitable. I'm fascinated with the subject and would like to learn a bit more, so after changing the proof of work in some version of Bitcoin, I could try and verify it with GPU mining software.
Maybe if there's a good keccak/something else GPU miner, I could rip out SHA256d and try that out. Not sure what GPU mining software is flexible enough to handle a lot of algorithms though. Can anyone recommend a good GPU miner?
Thanks
If you find GPU mining difficult I can point you to my blog where I'm listing the best and easiest mining software to use- https://bitcoinminingsoftware2019.com. I personally use Kryptex, but CudoMiner is also great, and there are several other alternatives that you can test out. Noob page, with noob software for kids XD If you're having trouble mining with GPU, you'd better not start mining with it  Learn the basics! |

Don't worry eth will never go pos,their devs forgot about diff bomb when they had hard fork a month ago.Eth is going pos from 2016 and still nothing
lol diff bomb is defused XD at the beginning of the year with the Muir Glacier fork. POS will come slowly this year. it is not a hart change from pow to pos, it will take a while. |

This is a follow up post I posted on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/entmps/rx480_displaying_low_hashrate_10_mhashs/ If you would like to read. Sorry if wrong section topic. Basically I flashed my AMD GPU Bios now currently my hashrate limit is at 28 Mhs/s on PheonixMiner after enabling RX boost and compute mode on the drivers. So my goal is to reach the 30 Mhs/s. Now I'm looking for some suggestions what to change GPU Clock and Memory Clock as well the voltage and temperature. I'm using OverdriveNTool (AMD Memory Tweak) and MSI Afterburner but not sure which parameters to change. My config while mining : GPU Clock reach 1276 Mhz Memory Clock 2000 Mhz Voltage 1.069 V Temperature is set to 55°C Edit : Forgot to mention RX480 8G and Memory Type Samsung Please be aware that I use my GPU for gaming as well when not Idle here is a screenshot config when my GPU not mining  voltage to high, my 570 work with 0,85v @ 1200mhz. What timings you are chosen? |

Is there a way to fix this error???
I have nvidia 1050i with 4Gb ram and still have this error!
Sell card and buy one with more GPU RAM. Mining with 4GB Nvidia cards on windows is over. Nothing more to say sorry |

Hey Patrike,
can you change the configuration for nanominer? I will only mine with cpu (no device option needed in the config) and how can i adjust cputhreads via awesomeminer? I canīt define it. My Nanominer config file looks like this after starting via Awesomeminer:
watchdog=false
mport=4028
[RandomX]
wallet = xxxxxxxx
coin = XMR
pool1 = xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444
devices = 0
But it must look like this:
watchdog=false
mport=4028
[RandomX]
wallet = xxxxxxxx
coin = XMR
pool1 = xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444
cputhreads = 2
EDIT:
When i configurate a User defined software, is it possible that i can choose if this software is running with cpu, amd or nvidia? I think this is very useful.
In the Properties of a Managed Miner, please try to use the GPU Selection feature where you can select which GPU's to use. If you select "Use selected from list", without selecting any of the GPU's, Awesome Miner shouldn't add the "devices" property to the configuration file. There are however no feature to set the cputhreads property today. For Nanominer i think it would be usefull that we can make our own config file via awesomeminer like srbminer 1.9.3 for the old cryptonight.  |

RX 480 8GB speed 33 MH/S Power 80 watts
yeah right No it was never 80 watts, most likely he is talking about the wattage that you see in GPU-z which is only the GPU chip wattage and doesn't account for the rest of the board like the memory controller, fans, and other components. Honestly I don't think 33MH/s is easy with a 480 8GB, maybe some with a certain ASIC quality were possible but with my RX 470 4GB the most I could get was like 29.5mh/s and it wasn't really efficient. The best efficiency was at like 28.5MH/s and it still used 120 Watts per GPU from the wall not including the motherboard+drive+ram. 80 watts is just not possible with any RX 470/570. rx 470 4gb you have elpida memory i guess yes they give you stable 29.5mhz but i have also rx 470 with samsung memory which gives stable 30.5-30.8mhz which is good for these cards.32-33mhz is easy to get with rx 480-580 with samsung memory an micron also doing not bad. The RX 470/570 4GB came with either Samsung, Hynix or Elpida memory. I think the first batch was mostly Hynix and then some manufacteurs started to include Elpida and some higher end manufacteurs included Samsung memory. 90% of all my RX 470 4GB are Hynix and 10% were Samsung. The Samsung were the best because they gained usually 1-2Mh/s more than Hynix. The Elipida I heard were the worse. The Samsungs were also good on other algos like XMR (the old XMR algo not current). The issue is that before you actually buy and install the card, you have no idea what type of memory is included. With some models you can look and read the chip but others its covered and you need to use GPU-z. My opinion: Samsung worst (30,5mh only) Elpida good (up to 33mh) Hynix best (up to 33,4 - 34 mh) |

This has to be one of the most "low effort" videos you have ever done.
what did you want to see, that wasnt shown? Maybe some tests you made yourself, test different miners. You show some internet results and thats it. |

Do you think that XMRig developers don't deserve to get paid for their work?
LOL you know xmrig? You can read? Read this line from xmrig github: Default donation 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes) can be reduced to 1% via option donate-level or disabled in source code.Thanks Enth for compiling this 0% Fee XMRig |

Memory 950
core clock 1200
Ethereum hashrate 26.5-26
power 70W-65w
I need more time for the tests. but it seems that the performance is not very good. maybe with some custom timmings ...
I expected more performance, maybe with some custom timmings I would improve a lot. at the moment the Navi bios cannot be modified.
remember that a rx 580 stock reaches 25mhs with custom memory timmings can reach 31mhs
LOL performance not good? The RX 580 has more shader and more memory bandwith (very important for eth mining), so the result is that what it is. The AMD 5700 has double bandwith of the 5500 and can do 55mh. So nothing new here. Make some custom timings and i think you can reach 30mh and undervolt the core more. |

If you already have am4 boards, psu, ram then it's not much of an issue but I think we both know what the majority of motherboards used for gpu mining were. They were those crap little 1150 with g1580s in them and ddr3 ram.I doubt many bought am4 to throw an Apu or a pricey CPU in while never thinking of CPU mining. i feel lucky to have three 3900x one threadripper all running and three more boards ready to upgrade . no psu cost no ram cost only one mobo purchased. i will have seven running for under 2000. roi will be 150-200 days. pretty quiet and will warm the basement for winter. ROI 150 - 200 days? No way, never, noooo. Which calculator you are using? |
