Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)

[vapourminer]

i have rx 470. Is the latest driver (17.7.1) on amd home page compatible with rx 470? Otherwise, the best driver can speed up hash..?
Thank for read

the general consensus is for r9 and rx 4x0 drivers is 16.11.

not sure about any increase vs 17.x but i believe ive heard they are not as good. only use 17.x if you have rx 5x0 cards.

i would not expect a huge rate change though, maybe a few percent.

[FFI2013]

Everytime I try to start either one of my rigs rx470 and rx570 in -benchmark 1 mode the miner crashes it's crazy cause I can mine fine I'm trying to change some settings and using benchmark mode would help does anyone have a idea of why thanks

Vega is ... hot. In stock it takes about 400-450W in dual, 300-350W in ETH-only mode at about 33MH/s. And it's throttling like hell. It's very good in dual mining mode, but it's too hot.

This confirms what MSI executive said that "Vega takes lot of power". Hopefully AIB partners will come up with better cooling solutions. Did you get your hands on a sample vega to test ? Not the FE of course.

I don't think better cooling is going to help because of how much power is needed to push these cards.  Lets just hope RX Vega is better than Frontier, and of course he didnt get an RX Vega to test lol.

This may sound a strange request, but would there be any way to edit the script so the console would not output the hashrate/stats for other altcoins than ETH?

Like if I'm mining ETH/DCR but I only want the console to output data related to ETH mining is there a way to do that?

Have you messed with undervolting?

Usually I don't change anything, just use stock clocks/settings. But for this card I will have to change some Wattman settings due to hard throttling, but I found no Wattman. I spent a few days to prepare my tools and code for Vega, but today I finally noticed it: no Wattman for Vega at all. May be because I use Windows 7 instead of Windows 10, I will check it (though it's strange anyway). Also I don't see "gaming mode" button in drivers. ADL does not work too, so I even cannot set 100% fan speed to prevent throttling. AB does not work too. Weird.

There is Watman, its in Gaming Mode for sure.   To find gaming mode its on the bottom left of right after you launch into "radeon pro and firepro settings".  Once your in there its under gaming/global settings.

Help pls !!

I have 6 RX 570 gpus connected to the PC and they all are enabled and seemed to be working fine (Windows 10).. I want to save the bios of the 5th GPU, modify and flash it with ATI Flash.. When I open ATI flash, it only lists the first 3 GPUs.. No way to scroll down to the 5th.. How do i scroll down and save the bios of the 5th and flash it back? I do not want to unplug the other 5 from Mobo and do it.. It will screw up the already configured and working ones..

You should always BIOS flash cards in the primary 16x slot directly connected to the mobo, and should always be done individually before you try connect all the GPU's.

never had to do this, I flash my cards in any slot even connected to risers no problem after reboot

I know where "gaming mode" button must be, I saw some videos about it. I don't have this button.

[ltcsprite]

Possible to run diff GPU's on diff coins on the same rig?

That would be saaaaaaaa-weet.

[Metroid]

The DAG epoch issue: it seems AMD fixed it for Vega in drivers and now they are working on Polaris. New drivers will be available soon, may be in two weeks or so.

Do you know if is related to how memory is addressed?

Never said you had to.  Just a precaution to avoid bricking your card with a bad flash.

@Claymore

Wattman only works in Win10.  I reluctantly made the upgrade to get the drivers.  Also, I've noticed something very interesting, Vega might be one of the most energy efficient GPUs for mining.  Someone like yourself might be better placed to prove that.

Last night I had both my Vega FE's running 852MHz core clock.  Memory was set at 1100MHz and 1050mV.  Reported hash rate was 31MH/s in genoil.  I didn't have them running long enough to get a 24hr average, but no invalid shares.

I had them turned up today, windows reset itself and they wouldn't go back to mem of 1100MHz with 852MHz core.  Fan speed was decent too, not at all annoying but I don't remember the percentage.  I'll be playing more tonight.

If I can be helpful to you in any way, let me know.

Possible to run diff GPU's on diff coins on the same rig?

That would be saaaaaaaa-weet.

YES, DIFFERENT GPUS CAN MINE DIFFERENT COINS--

You will need to run different instances for the different cards. 

EXAMPLE:  (4 card rig, run 2 launch lines)

        1) Run Claymore for GPUs 1 and 2 for ETH + DCR

        2) Run Claymore for GPUs 3 and 4 for ETH + SC

Just follow the examples on the Opening Page (OP) and in the readme.  Specify the card numbers in each launch line.

It may take more CPU power.  I have not tried it.       --scryptr
