Open Source ZEC (ZCash) GPU Miner AMD & NVidia (up to 45 sol/s on RX480)

This weekend i want try this miner on my rig

Would anyone be so kind as to explain the difference between hash/s and sol/s?

[dejan_p]

it seems that the problem of running multiple nvidias can be temporarily solved by running more instances of miners
(need to have more config files, where you will be starting a single card in each of the config files)

sometimes i'm shocked by reading all comments that sound like "i'm not gonna bother installing crappy linux" ..
"windows bins pls win binaries pls"
not to mention all the geniuses saying "my nvidia machine doesn't mine", while not spending 15 damn seconds to at least read the config file and leaving the "amd" config file.. you some kind of miners? hah 

spend some time to learn new things if u wanna be in this game ffs..

From

https://forum.z.cash/t/difference-between-hashes-vs-solutions/2930

"Sol/s measures the rate at which Equihash solutions are found. Each one of those solutions is tested against the current target (after adding to the block header and hashing), in the same way that in Bitcoin each nonce variation is tested against the target. That is what we mean by Sol/s === H/s - they are measuring the same thing, and it is the same metric that everyone already uses for other PoW algorithms. Put another way, measuring Sol/s in Zcash is exactly the same as measuring TH/s in Bitcoin (ignoring the "T" scaling factor, which is merely a product of the relative speeds of the PoWs and the relative numbers of miners)"

i did read the config and tried to modify to make more instances for windows but it feels like the settings get ignored on my side. same speed result for one ore more instances <<

I would like to setup a mining rig:
Should I buy:
1) Radeon RX470 GAMING X 4G ?
2) MSI R9 380 GAMING 4G Radeon R9 380 Graphic Card?
3) or something else

Thanks

Radeon RX470 17.2 sol/s
Radeon RX480 18.5 sol/s

Other GPUs
GeForce 750Ti - 8,5 sol/s


What is a   sol   plz   thx

[malekbaba]

My AMD 7950 shows 7.32 , is it ok for my gpu ? Should I get more with my gpu ?
I am mining with 15.12 catalyst version.

[swminer26]

I'm getting 19.7 sols with my GTX 1070 and like 6 sols with an AMD FX 8320 8 core CPU.

Are you using my computer when I'm away?? lol

Explanation is two posts above yours... Please take time to research.

ok lol i got my system with 1 1060 running just fine with win7. 15 sols

then i tried to get my main rig running, it has 3 390x's   1 r7 370 and 1 gtx 1070.

 when i try to get all cards running, it finds 4 of my cards i am assuming those are my amd cards cause thats what i have set in the config, then i get an error stating

terminate called after throwing an instance of '       thatys exactly what it says
here is a pic showing whats going on https://i.imgur.com/AkLwh76.png

now when i change the config to nvidia it runs the 1070 perfectly at 22 sols no problem,

could this be some kind of conflict caused by having amd and nvidia mixed in the same rig? i am running 15.12 amd drivers is that the issue? i have no clue at this point lol thanks for any help in advance 

Has anything ever worked well mixing AMD/nVidia in the same rig? Cause I would assume not.

actually no problems at all except with this miner i just run 2 different mining programs or one like for example claymores dual miner

[orionpaxx12]

Set one instance to only run amd cards, then another instance with only the nvida card.

i thought about that but the problem is when i disconnect the 1070 and just try to run the amd cards i get that error,  and when i change the config back to nvidia cards it runs the 1070 just fine, its weird, i dont have any issues with running mixed cards with any other algos or coins, so i guess it might be the amd drivers maybe not sure but i will keep trying

Hi,
as soon I start the miner I get an error on atiadlxy.dll error code =xc000012f do u know why ?
I have RX470 GPU
How I can solve it ?

[Arceny]

Code:

# ./zcashgpuclient 
madPrimeMiner-v1.1
ClientName = '992633'  ClientID = 1258063883  InstanceID = 1164660007

What does "source files not found or empty" message means?

[Ivanech]

Will this miner works in R9 270 2Gb cards?

I've tried Ubuntu binaries but got a crash error

Code:

found platform[0] name = 'AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing'
<info> found 3 devices
Using device 0 as GPU 0
Using device 1 as GPU 1
Using device 2 as GPU 2
<info> compiling ...
<info> source: 41162 bytes
<info> binsize = 242860 bytes
*** Error in `./zcashgpuclient': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000002976740 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

Is this my cards incompability or binaries problem?

In the case my cards are OK to mine ZEC, how coul I compile the binaries myself. I stuck on make error:

Code:

[ 83%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/config4cpp.dir/config4cpp/src/SchemaTypeDurationMilliseconds.cpp.o

Try precompiled kernel from kernel_R92xx_linux_14.4. Copy it to miner directory and launch again.
orionpaxx12
Same, but from kernel_RX4xx_windows_16.7. Too many configurations have problems with miner OpenCL sources. Use prepared binaries can help.


Targeting of new release is solve NVidia multi GPU problem.
