For the RX 480, what's the best brand/model for Claymore dual mining?
Heat is an issue, and electric is 7 cents KWH, so undervolting stable is a nice plus.

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ 470 OC--

The Sapphire 4XX series cards have a big following.  BIOS mods are available for them, and the 470 8GB OC model looks like the best bang for the buck.  The cards have metal, heat-conducting shells, not plastic.  They are really well made.

There are reports of 29-31MH/s with a BIOS modded Sapphire Nitro RX 470 8GB cards when mining ETH.  The Saphire RX 480 8GB OC cards will do slightly better, but cost more, and consume more power.       --scryptr

@29mhs rx 480 consume more power than rx 470?
I can have 480 very cheap.. only few % more than 470 but if rx 4
70 consume less power I'd prefer to buy rx 470..


And anyone  here can help me with my friends Ati radeon hd 5xxx Cypress series (2gb RAM)?

I am looking for signature campaign Wink pm me

Hi, all. Looking for information about following questions.

1. I am sometimes switch my mining rig(2x7950) to Diamond coin which uses groestl algo. Using 14.6 AMD Catalyst driver gives almost 80% more hashrate for groestl algo, but Claymore requires 15.12 at least. Claymore won't load at 14.6, just checked it. Is it possible somehow to switch between 14.6 and 15.12 AMD Catalyst drivers fast ?
2. I've heard Claymore supports mining Eth forks along with SIA coin. Is it more profitable than ETH + DCR ? What is exact amount of profit i can get with 2x7950 when adding SIA dual mode mining ?

Thanks all  Smiley

1. If You use sgminer for Diamond mining, find amd_opencl32.dll, amd_opencl64.dll, amdocl.dll and amdocl64.dll from unpacked Catalyst 14.6 folders and copy them to the sgminer folder.
2. Use https://whattomine.com/merged_coins/2-eth-sc and take into account miner fees 2%, pool fees and increased power for dual mining to calculate profitability.

Thx! For 1st answer. I've found and copied them. Now i can reinstall 15.12 and still get boost on mining Diamond coin via sgminer like under 14.6 drivers?  Do i need to point sgminer onto this files and specify any options ?

What output do you see when you run "sudo aticonfig --lsa"? That should list all adapters that your driver is actually seeing.

What do you want to know about the Cypress series? I have a HD 5970 (2Gb ram, 1Gb / GPU), but can't mine ETH, only if you have the 4Gb version or the card (2Gb / GPU)...

Hello everyone... I just starting using v7.2 on my first build, currently with 3 MSI RX 470 4GB GPUs.  I was a bit intimidated in moving away from a GIU-based miner since I am a noob, but through a lot of help from this forum and youtube, was able to get it up and running successfully this weekend!

I am dual mining with DCR, but only getting about 20.7 Mh/s on ETH per GPU.  I know of people getting in the ~23.5 range on these GPUs with no mods, so I believe i need to adjust the ETH intensity with CDM.  I understand the command to do this is "-ethi xx", the "xx" being the intended intensity... set at 8 default, with a max possible value of 16.

Here's my issue:  since I am new to this, I can't figure out how to implement that -ethi command.  When I try to type it directly into the command line (cursor at the bottom of the command window where CDM is running), it instead only decreases DCR intensity (since it seems the "-" & "+" are short-cut keys to affect DCR only).  I also trying pasting "-ethi 12" into the command line cursor, but it didn't work... that actually shut down 2 of my 3 GPUs.

Through recommendation of another forum member, I added this command into my config.txt file as follows:

#-epool us1.ethpool.org:3333
#-ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F
#-epsw x
#-dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252
#-dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4
#-dpsw x
#-esm 1
#-mode 0
#-tt 70
-ethi 14

My understanding is that this file is checked when CDM is launched and all lines with "#" are ignored, so I did not type the "#" in front of the "ethi 14"

I then saved this file, and relaunched CDM but it had absolutely no impact, still mining at exact same rate for ETH.

I also added the 5 setx lines to the top of my .bat file, which now looks like this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x1a132440ede1a4b3f4d56d64063ef4cab3f55abc -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal gerrox.jworker1 -dpsw x

So, my question is... how exactly can I use that "-ethi xx" command to increase ETH mining intensity?

Thanks!

I could totally be wrong on this, but for some reason I have always assumed -ethi was a value between 1-10. Like I said though, I could totally be wrong.

Thats interesting, so apparently your computer and the drivers both recognize the GPU, but claymore doesnt for whatever reason. I run the fglrx-updates drivers and have never had this issue. I might try re-initializing the card/driver by running "sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial" and then rebooting, otherwise, maybe try the fglrx-updates drivers instead. Although make sure to remove the old drivers first.

So, my question is... how exactly can I use that "-ethi xx" command to increase ETH mining intensity?

Thanks!



I could totally be wrong on this, but for some reason I have always assumed -ethi was a value between 1-10. Like I said though, I could totally be wrong.

Actually, -ethi accepts a range of values from 0 to 16, with default being 8.  There are others who have the value set at 10, 12, etc, which is what I am trying to accomplish.  So, still looking for the methodology to implement the "-ethi" command.

On a side note, the default intensity for DCR seems to be 30. At that setting, I was getting about 310 per GPU and increasing it to 32 resulted in about 331 per GPU... so about 3% increase per notch.  I don't expect the ETH impact to be that drastic per notch increased, but these GPU's should be getting at least 2-3 more Mh/s than their current 20.7 before any mods. So, hoping that increasing ETH intensity will do the trick.

Thanks!

hey Claymore, nice miner!
Maybe you can add to EthMan feature to reduce intensity for a particular gpu?

Already done, check Readme or OP for "-li" option.

ehhh... I'm not sure I understand.
I'd like to be able during runtime (no DAG regeneration) decrease/increase intensity on a particular card from Remote Manager.
but maybe you can explain how you treat config file(how often do you poll if you do, etc), I mean it looks kinda persistent but I'm not sure...

Also an unrelated question: are you aware of "gpu mem errors in hwinfo"(case of faster timings on rx4* + UV) and how/if it affects miner results?

EDIT: I'm also still using 7.0. And ohh god... the order of GPUs in -cclock and -dcri is different...

Hello everyone... I just starting using v7.2 on my first build, currently with 3 MSI RX 470 4GB GPUs.  I was a bit intimidated in moving away from a GIU-based miner since I am a noob, but through a lot of help from this forum and youtube, was able to get it up and running successfully this weekend!

I am dual mining with DCR, but only getting about 20.7 Mh/s on ETH per GPU.  I know of people getting in the ~23.5 range on these GPUs with no mods, so I believe i need to adjust the ETH intensity with CDM.  I understand the command to do this is "-ethi xx", the "xx" being the intended intensity... set at 8 default, with a max possible value of 16.

Here's my issue:  since I am new to this, I can't figure out how to implement that -ethi command.  When I try to type it directly into the command line (cursor at the bottom of the command window where CDM is running), it instead only decreases DCR intensity (since it seems the "-" & "+" are short-cut keys to affect DCR only).  I also trying pasting "-ethi 12" into the command line cursor, but it didn't work... that actually shut down 2 of my 3 GPUs.

Through recommendation of another forum member, I added this command into my config.txt file as follows:

#-epool us1.ethpool.org:3333
#-ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F
#-epsw x
#-dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252
#-dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4
#-dpsw x
#-esm 1
#-mode 0
#-tt 70
-ethi 14

My understanding is that this file is checked when CDM is launched and all lines with "#" are ignored, so I did not type the "#" in front of the "ethi 14"

I then saved this file, and relaunched CDM but it had absolutely no impact, still mining at exact same rate for ETH.

I also added the 5 setx lines to the top of my .bat file, which now looks like this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x1a132440ede1a4b3f4d56d64063ef4cab3f55abc -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal gerrox.jworker1 -dpsw x

So, my question is... how exactly can I use that "-ethi xx" command to increase ETH mining intensity?

Thank you! You learn something new every day I guess. I might have to play around with some of my cooler cards now....Woohoo

Back to your original question though.
"If there are two or more options in the command line, miner will take all options from the command line, not from configuration file."

So what happens if you specify -ethi 14 in your command to start claymore instead of the config file?

i see claymore supports 32 GPUs.... is that altogether or per mining rig? I am deciding how i want to run my new rigs and if i can get away with putting 32 cards on one mobo im going to.. so any ideas on this one.

Well, I have not tried adding it into the .bat file since I don't know enough about this to know whether that is a viable option or not. I guess I could try it but i really don't want to screw something up by just blindly attempting something.

I would assume that there is probably a way to enter this command directly in the into the command window that Claymore is running in (especially since that is what the + & - signs due to DCR intensity), but it's just a matter of finding someone who has actually done it to learn exactly how.
