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

[auctioneeeeer]

I can recommend to try Catalyst 16.7.2 on Win7 64 and Windows 10 for silent army kernel. Remove all *.bin files before launch a miner.

Unfortunately with modded BIOS, can't run that old of driver.  Can you get this working with 16.9.x?

Which words did you switch?

name = "worker_name";

# Platform:
#  "AMD": AMD GCN cards
#  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cards
platform = "AMD";

platform = "AMD"; will crash
platform = "amd"; will work, but not cilentarmy version

So, if I launch this software, and it doesn't crash, and all 5 of my GPUs are reporting SOLS readings, does that pretty much mean that it's working? Seems too easy to be honest lol I'm running a Windows 10 machine with three RX480s and two RX470s. My GPUs are each reading between 14.7 to 17.8 SOLS.

Yep that's what happened to me. My setup's pretty similar (Windows 10 64 bit) and am running the 0.2.1 non SilentArmy version and not getting any crashes and my readings are similar to yours.

DUMMY QUESTION :

Same here - 2 470 ref, 3 470 nitro 8gb, windows 7 x64 and 16.10.1 drivers.

1. download Ubuntu .iso image
2. download Oracle VM VirtualBox
3. Run Ubuntu in a windows virtual box (p.s. make sure you have virtualization enabled in your machine's BIOS.
4. Follow the directions in this page:

From what I can tell it is mostly a driver issue. Most successful miners are running the 16.40 or somewhere close to that but not earlier. I have asked around a couple forums and this seems to be the "catalyst" pun intended. My cards will not work with anything past 15.20 so for now I'm screwed but hopefully soon i guess.

THanks for the info ... i am currently downloading the "SOON" to be invalid block for the key. Where on earth do i find the address?

[64dimensions]

Win 7 64bit

One ASUS HD7970 DCU2

1.0 - no issues

2.1 - no -issues. At least a 50% increase in sols/s, around 14+ for this card. Unoptimized.

No bios mods (bios status missing from the various reports).

Question - How do you get the changes in the mem frequency to show up when -1 is replaced by 1500?

[snakey]

Anyone getting 30 - 40sol/s on 470 8GB cards?

[durnkenWiz]

weird, I'm running a rig with 4 gpus, 3 x 290 and 1 x 390. When hashing It shows gpu 0 and gpu 1 at 9.8 sols. AND gpu 3 and 4 at 16.5 each. Any reason why this mite be? lol

also testing a CPU on Nicehash/miner and getting 17.23 sols AMD 8320 7 cores mining......

[yslyung]

works for me on win 7 64 bit on V2 but latest V2.1 crashes everytime.

gettin' about 40 sol's.

thx op, looking fwd to next releases with option to mine at other pools.

great job, keep it up pls.

Which card?

[khryptor]

yup. only being able to mine of one pool, that is dominated by aws instances isnt kool

[bitjedi]

Are there other pools that this can mine to besides the coinsforall scam pool? 4% fee + 4 ZEC minimum payout... most won't hit that min payout...
