Which particular GPUs including make&model would represent the best investment for dual mining at this moment? I'm currently debating between the MSI 390, 480 and 1070 but I would like to identify the few out of many cards which aren't plagued with various issues such as improper cooling on GPU/VRMs/VRAM.
I highly recommend Sapphire RX 470's 4GB edition. Mod the BIOS for 2100 RAM like the RX 480 and get the same hashrate out of the box for them, with less wattage. Currently have 2 of them with 51MH/s on headless mode. About 50.5 when running not headless as I am now to type this. It's dual BIOS so you can easily mod the BIOS without having to worry about bricking the cards as you can flip the switch for stability, and right before flash, flip them back to the other BIOS. Cheap, fairly quiet, and they stay cool, and perform well. |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Cheap, fairly quiet, and they stay cool, and perform well. What is it power consumption? It's about 135w in real world use. It's got a 120w TDP unlike the link below suggests, though bios modders add some ram speed which brings it up. It's profitable regardless, and will ROI faster than an RX 480. 4 RX 470 on a cryptocoin centered rig, aka celeron and any board, will run on a 600w PSU according to most calculators, which I believe to be true on my own measurements of my rig. The from the wall power is 373w with 2 cards and an overclocked CPU with monitors in standby, and other stuff plugged in. It's close to 310 with just the headless rig and ethernet. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/sapphire/radeon-rx-470-ethereum-mining/EDIT: I am undervolted and underclocked. Out of the box reports say 144w, which is still pretty amazing, and that's an aftermarket overclocked card. I'm on the sapphire cards with switch left (reference clocks) then underclocked, and undervolted core, and overclocked ram. Your results may very, and I do recommend toying with clocks and volts in windows, then customizing a bios to flash to lock it in if you are planning on using linux. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-470,4703-6.html |

Hi all,
Guys, what is your MSI afterburner (or other) configuration to get the best hashrate/power consumption on GTX 1070 ?
Thx in advance

Trying to run miner with RX480 on Athlon X2 Windsor (w/SSE3) @2.4GHz, 2GB DDR2, crashing on different versions few seconds after POOL VERSION displayed (waiting longer when trying first time after reboot). Used this platform to run on 280x, worked absolutely fine. Stable in LinX.
Is it possible to run the miner on this platform somehow? Miner does not produce any logs before to crash, maybe can I have a debug version with deeper logging?

More important data are: your PSU and your MB model, and info if you use powered risers? |

2 Gb of ram is not enough anyway, strange it was working with 280x (eth also ?) |

More important data are: your PSU and your MB model, and info if you use powered risers? I'm using EPoX MF4-J3/G and Aerocool KCAS-1000W PSU, single card without riser. Win7 x64. Previously used two 280x cards one with riser, worked fine. Same with 2GB RAM on ETH. Currently on crimson 16.8.2 Just checked 280x - works fine. Looks like it stopps on VGA detection, as after POOL/SOLO VERSION the next lines i are Total cards: 1, No nvidia cards detected. This is what i do not see with RX 480 By installing 4GB RAM the problem is solved. By the way, even 3x 280x runs fine on 2GB. Why a single RX 480 does not?.. |

@Claymore
is it possible to implement GPU error rate messages like in hwinfo? tool?

Miner has no any info about error, it just sees that GPU got incorrect result. |

RX470 and RX480 requires 4GB system memory, so you just can't mine with 2GB. Some chipsets tend to loose available ram if more pci-e resources are used. I remember this with intel 945G, more cards you add, less ram you get. |

Hey Claymore, I've been having a lot of trouble with your miner lately. Specifically Watchdog restarts. The miner crashes and freezes up my whole PC when it tries to start mining again after a watchdog restart. I've tried multiple drivers and reinstalled Windows without luck. The new log (after miner restarts) ends like so:
02:29:33:892 fbc AMD Cards available: 6
02:29:33:909 fbc GPU #0: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units

Do you mind being more specific? Which log exactly are you looking for?
Thanks for the help!

Recently started using Claymore, and so far its pretty awesome. Way more stable and profitable compared to what I was using before. Has anyone has any experience using the -logfile flag when running Claymore? I like the fact that it logs whats going on, but I am having trouble logging it to a file that I specify. If anyone has a working example that would be awesome.
When Claymore starts, it says -logfile is an unknown option. Is this flag deprecated from an older version? (I am running 7.1) Or am I just using it incorrectly.

Download v7.2, v7.1 has problems with "-logfile" option. |

Hey, Claymore, great miner  I have one small issue... sometimes (not sure why and when) 1 card show error with info about stopping watchdog gpu 5 (and trying to reboot.bash or restart miner) but this is weird because there is only 1 card (no matter solo or multigpu) , PSU checked, temp 85-88 degree , fan 90%... i wish to RMA warranty this gpu but ... its working sometimes 40hours non reboot... sometimes it reboots 5 times a day.... any idea how to fix it? or maybe how to stress test if its broken? p.s. 4 gb ram is ok for 6 gpu? linux regards, Tom |
