Wont do much...your still limited by the 128bit memory bus.

This system pretty much defeats the point of GPU mining, because the have taken a generic GPU that can be used for anything, and pretty much turned it into an "ASIC" type design. I am actually working on a very similar system, but instead of using proprietary GPU cards that cant be resold or used in any other system, it will just use off the shelf consumer GPUs.

Havent set anything except for the usual GPU MAX ALLOC stuff.

Version 9 just starts up and stops with the line:

"not so easy bro "

what the hell is that?

It will definitely do nothing for mining, unless you want less hashrate All it does it reduce clock rates/voltages based on the amount of workload the GPU needs to render a particular scene. Usually GPUs are working at 100% while in games, and you don't really need 200fps in a low detailed scene, so it will just dynamically reduce power/framerates based on how complex the rendering pipeline is.

Mining/compute operations by their nature work at 100% GPU load...there is no "magic" like what they are doing for the game scenario  to reduce power for mining, unless you either reduce the clock rate or voltage manually by yourself, in which case you will either reduce hashrate or increase instability.

A 470 can do over 170s/s @ 90 watts, and costs less then a 1060. AMD is the current mining king, your wasting your money if you buy nvidia for mining unless your primary reason is to buy a card or two for your gaming rig.

Regardless...you are still getting over 1k USD in dev fees from people like me that have been supporting you since day 1. Its not fair that you just pull the plug out of all the people that are paying you a ridiculous amount of money to use your miner. People will always circumvent fees, its the cost of doing business, and every dev can't get pissed off at their entire user base when a few users do this. Support the people that are supporting you, and don't worry about everything else. I would understand if you were making 10 bucks a day off this, but when your making this much the least you can do is to keep supporting the vast majority of people paying your fee. In the end you'll end up making more money this way.

Your issue is with USB 3.0. Unfortunately Silicon Labs drivers for these have a bug with USB 3.0, which locks up the USB controller (hence the red light). Not sure if they every fixed this, but I would try downloading the latest VCOM drivers or using USB 2.0 ports.

You cant off the shelf. Im the one that designed this system with Padrino. My personal prototype systems are running 10 GPUs of a Gigabyte board. It requires very low level changes to how the board BIOS operates.

I think hes referring to this kernal catching up with claymour. Its still quite a bit behind.

The price will never go up on this coin for a very long time. This was the first coin in a while that didn't have a huge pre-mine and started with zero on day one. People forget that when Bitcoin/Litecoin came out, there were millions of coins minted before people became of aware/mass adaption started. At that point each block added was like .00001% of total supply...right now each block added by ZEC is like .1% so as long as people think the value of ZEC is 4million, the price will always be pushed down by a fast rate.

This wont change for at least a year or two...when ZEC supplies reach into the millions.

The timings stilt has posted are as tight as they can pretty much get for 200 based cards. Im more involved with 300/400 based cards. Either way the gains you'll get from copying lower memory straps into higher clocked straps will get you most of the way there. Any individual timing tweaks I would do would just increase stability and maybe get a few % extra hashrate.

They merged with another company and became this: http://www.sfards.com/

Their new dual sha256/scrypt 28nm chip was a massive flop though...the chip had massive design issues out the door and they never recovered as far as I know.

I have read almost the entire Hynix GDDR5 data sheet, and am probably one of only a handful of people that have decoded the entire memory strap region of the ATOM bios. Of course timings wouldnt matter for slower clocks...but no one on these forums run their memory clocks at 1250 or 1750

Of course it does...if a memory controller has to wait more clock cycles before it can read or write to a memory bank, its effective I/O bandwidth is reduced.

lol all these guys are screwing with us...there were 100H/S private miners to big GPU farms out on day 1...changes made to increase hashes from 40-100H/s on 470s were trivial. The public miners were obviously gimped on purpose.

Its actually quite brilliant on what all these guys are doing (with the exception of @mrb I give him HUGE props for creating a public open source miner). They are making huge increments in hashrate, which then enables them to keep increasing their fees, and we all love it (hey why not pay 20-30% fee when my hashrate is doubled...right?) Greed of bitcoin mining game has finally reached GPU miners.

What everyone does not realize is that the only winners are these developers and farms...through these brilliant means they are keeping their share of the mining "pie" the same, while everyone else is fighting over the same scraps...dont forget just because your hashrate doubles means nothing...so does everyone else hashrate. We are actually earning LESS because through this smoke and mirror tactics devs/pools/farms are able to earn more from our expense (and equipment and power costs), AND we are HAPPY with it.

Don't fall for it...I think the best course would be to 100% support mrbs efforts...tip him and the devs working with him what they deserve in donations so that open source miner can quickly catch up to Claymours/optiminers.

Nice work guys...currently this performs better on my 470/480s than even claymours miner on windows side. Sucks that he will simply rip off your code again and further optimize his windows miner, while continuing to say "FU" to all his linux customers that supported him for the past year.

Do you guys have a centralized donation address for this project? Ill donate whatever fees claymour would have made to you guys.

They obviously doubled their difficulty, since hashrate per device has roughly doubled as well. Your earning the same, each share you submit is just "worth" more now.

Yea, not exactly sure why windows users are coming on here and demanding a windows version. Linux users got screwed over by this whole shit, and I have rigs that can't be booted under windows and require linux. Be happy with your claymour 100h/s miner.

@mbr id rather you get close to clamour performance, charge a devfee to get that done, and then worry about windows.

Thats literally the 460/470/480 line rebranded and doubled in price.
