What is the latest version of Radeon drivers that can be used for mining?
The latest versions. 17.X.X. Just patch with Pixel Patcher. I can install the 17.x.x crimson drivers from AMD and then just run pixel patcher? Yes. The patcher works on all new versions so far.

Hi guys,
I wanted start to mining but i got a problem!! Rx 480 rx 470 they are not available anymore in Internet!!!!
So.... what i did.... i thought something else to find good enough....
I tried to buy cheap gtx 1060 3gb which i paid 177 euro... No struggling with bios and other things, just msi afterburner core +100 memory +900/950 i get 23.5 MH/s ethereum as well as are the consumption about 90w each card.
So my actual rigs they are
6x 1060 3gb about 137 MH/s 700w (177 euro x6) 6x 1060 3gb 137mh 700w 5x rx 480 about 130 mh 900w (250 euro x 5) 4x rx 480 130 mh 700/750
Do some calculations and you will get that nvidia they are actually better than amd costing 250😉😉😉 hope to have help you.
I just bought litterally just bought 570 and 580 online  In Europe all Amazon they don't have amd rx 500 or d rx 400 so i had to find something else. How much you paid them? Coz if u calculate 177 euro for 1060 3gb does 23.5 mh/s for only 90w Your 580/570 should be 250 cost mining at 25/28 mh draining 200w.

We don't have newegg. We just have amazon.it amazon.de amazon.fr amazon.uk for buy and receive nice assistant and substitution in case of broken card or problems. Lucky you bro

There is this amazing service called Google where if you put in "download pixel patcher" you would have been up and running by now. Try to search for stuff instead of waiting for others to spoon feed it to you. Here is on a spoon. https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

I just set up my first miner today with NVIDIA 1070s and was happily chugging along at 26 MH/s when I started getting "Error "server: bind failed with error"." messages. I specified "-mport 0" but now my hashrate has gone down to 12 MH/s.
Any advice?

Dual mining on 6x rx 480 167 mh/s ETH with 5000+ mh/s DRC = 900w

Hello Guys,
Can I mix Pitcairn (270X) and Hawaii (290X, 390) cards in the same rig? I tried that but the Pitcairn cards gave only 0,3MH/s.
I use CDM 9.4 and 16.10.3 ATI driver. I tried to disable ASM on Pitcairn cards but didn't help.
Can anyone tell me what did I wrong?
The 270X cards have 2GB RAM - is it possible to use this cards for ETH mining?
No! You need a card with minimum 3GB RAM to mine ETH. The DAG is larger than 2GB. Impossible to mine with 2GB of memory on the card. Thank you, Jackbox, I thought but I was not sure about the reason why those cards are not working on ETH.

It's been a while since I last mined ETH+DCR or SIA. Can someone let me know what's the current normal hashrate for HD7970's please?
Now mining at miningpoolhub, ETH+SIA, dcri 90, I get some 12Mh/s in ETH and 550MH/s in SIA. That's with Crimson 17 drivers, pixel patched
Thanks

i just tried all dual mining etc+pascal+sia+decred+lbry well i got impressed by etc+lbry my 4 rx 480 was gettin etc 104 mhs but when mining pascal or sia it goes 80 just decred is good but is not worth it to mine tbh last i tried etc+lbry i am getting 100mh (losing 4mh) and very well 144 mh on lbry. going to whattomine u can see that with just 144 on lbry profit is 78 dollars month which i think is very profitable rn good mining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lookguys what a 1060 3gb can do https://youtu.be/1uhSfOpvHks?t=7359

Start with 30 and slowly decrease/increase until you are happy with the eth/etc vs sia/pascal/lbry performance. Lower dcri for faster ETH/ETC, slower sia/pascal/lbry. And vice versa.

I have one 6 GPU AMD rig (mostly R9 290s) and a 4 GPU Nvidia rig which is 2 x 1070's & 2 x 1060 6GB. I love the Nvidia rig! It's doing 105-110 mh/s for only 550-600 watts! Unbelievable right? Anyway - in your post you said that you OC the core clock +100 and memory +900/950? I have found with my Nvidia cards that I can actually underclock the core, I have all my Nvidia cards at core -200 and memory +750 - and it's no different to core +75 memory +750, and it saves some power.

Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL
I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah

I'm having the same problem. By all accounts, this card should be mining at ~20-22MH/s but I'm only getting 12.5 no matter what I do. I've tried both the latest drivers and 15.12. Pixel Clock Patcher did nothing. Edit: After some research, it seems like this rate is par for the course for the 7970/280x due to the current DAG size slowing it down. Bummer. Seems like other coins are the only answer. Though I might just use mine to dual mine. 12.5 is better than nothing.
