Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner.
=========================

Latest version v5.0:

- improved speed by about 30-50% (depends on card model). About 145H/s on stock 390X.
- improved support for Catalyst 16.x and 4xx cards.
- reduced CPU usage.

GET IT WHILE IT IS HOT

I got boost from 700H/s to 1100H/s

Claymore is doing fantastic work

I think finally reach the max of RX 480s

[philipma1957]

Just did 3 rigs hugeeeee bigly  greatttt improvments

damn claymore is a smart mofo!!
 

clay 4  --- clay 5

216.4 ---- 405.0

229.7 ---- 383.3

171.1 ---- 348.3


will wait for stable  but clay5 is a beast.

If I do all 5 rigs I will be near 2k H/s

[Biodom]

less than optiminer for linux, or at least not better.
linux allows to switch seemlessly. my win 10 rig restarts periodically, which is annoying.
optiminer is absolutely a beast on old cards, like r7 370

[philipma1957]

Slight improvement  

221.4H/s  to 433.3H/s ----- 4 card rig --------- mixed cards
117.6H/s  to 330.0H/s ----- 3 card rig --------- all msi rx 470 4gb
235.1H/s to  445.0H/s ----- 4 card rig --------- mixed cards


so about 110 per card

I have windows 7 pro no restarts.

I have R7-370s in my test rig, with v5 .... its 60 H/s ... this is crazy for a such a low end card!

Meanwhile, a 4xNano rig on Biostar Z170, after 9 hours with v5, 621 H/s !!!
PCI Slot #0 Nano is posting at 171 H/s !!!

[AriesIV10]

Make sure to use the -i 2 for max capability of the gpu's.  It does make a difference on my RX 470s and RX 480s.

I got about 70-73 H/s with Optiminer (vs Claymore's 60 H/s) for R7 370 on Ubuntu.
Will see if it is stable overnight
Five card rig=350-370 H/s

[Tmdz]

Claymore 5 is real winner, easy 50% boost but all that extra hash will catch up and level out earnings.

The real surprise is that my 470 cards perform just as well as my 290 cards and my 7950 under performs the 470 by just 10 sol/s where it was out performing it in v4.

does anyone have a copy they can post?  Download quota exceeded...

got it...

[philipma1957]

I am pushing 1.8k H/s  four rigs  19 cards.

and I am using -1 0

will go to -i 2

Phil,

Let us know

I tried -i 2 - that was substantial drop in hash power

Phil,

also power consumption and heat should be more since its "maximal intensity" as per Claymore.

-i 0 or default seems like the magic switch

I think finally reach the max of RX 480s

whats the max number for 480?

with v5, i am 115-125 range, but then again the 480 has a modded BIOS not stock.

the 390s are doing well with v5, 140-148 easy

the Nanos are also performing like a champ, I have a Nano that is posting 175 but getting 84c at 99% fan

Got the 470s up to 100-110h/s
Total watts is around 660-680 at the wall
Now if the price will bump up a little

Yeah but the dev fee is included with the numbers so it is still faster on the pool.

It was way faster than anything else for 2 days.

If that dev reduces the fee then it could in theory remain the king, as he has more sols to work with.

I'm getting 125 H/s with modded cards
And 125 H/s with original BIOS

So no worries on mods

60 on Claymore, then 2.5% fee is subtracted
74 on Optiminer AFTER fee is subtracted.
Which one is better for my pocket?
I would say the latter for 25% more.

Besides, It would be a nightmare for me to run a multitude of windows as i would have to pay for all those licenses.
yes, many people here don't care and run Windows not activated (basically, pirated).
I am not going to do this and as a result prefer open sourced Linux.

you got a point there Biodom 

I am a newbie in Linux and have started dabbling on Ubuntu for months now - slowly getting there and finally I got ethOS like build on a fast thumbdrive and thats all I need to run Claymore ETH miner for at least half of the farm headless and HDDless, SSDless.....

... now on the matter of ZEC, if given the chance going Linux is ideal just like the scenario above.... but after the v1.1 Linux drama, going to Optiminer will mean losing all my "ethman" monitoring, dashboards and controls.... I don't mind those giving up those flashing ethman alerts if I have 3-4 rigs.... but managing 28 rigs is a real headache if you don't have the monitoring and dashboard controls. Claymore's monitoring utility is pretty slick and it can report 3 coins at the same time, ETH, XMR and ZEC...

Modded 8GB 480s does 130-140
Some of mine do 133-134
