SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

getting 90+ on 1070 https://forum.z.cash/t/silentarmy-v5-115-sol-s-on-r9-nano-70-sol-s-on-gtx-1070/3580/1163

How's the cpu usage on it?

Does sa-solver.exe work? If it does, the problem is definitely with the Python installation.

sa solver works using amd card, but doesn't work using my nvidia card. gtx 1080 gives openCL build failed (-11)

Have you tried your 1080 with latest build on Linux? Getting poor performance compared to 1070

how to change our GPU Memory Clock in Linux?
i want to lower my mod GPU Memory Clock.
Thanks

Thanks for the report! I forgot that the "-O5" OpenCL build option is AMD-specific. I will fix that ASAP.

I have not, my 1080 is my main card in my win pc, I also have my 295x2 in it. Im getting better speeds with claymores miner, so its either better speed with 295x2 and use windows and game on my 1080, or dual boot into ubuntu and just mine.

I just uploaded a new version of my Windows build of SILENTARMY v5:

https://mega.nz/#F!iwYQhI6S!2vl0D3jz3fH3-bZxHUurBg

This *should* work with NVIDIA cards.
If it doesn't, please let me know with as much information as possible.

--instances=2  Possible faster

Is someone getting the 115 sol/s on the R9 nano?
Only getting 96-100sol/s on mine using the Windows build.
Just wondering if that's possible with the linux build?
FYI, running the nanos on stock bios

/usr/bin/aticonfig for Fglrx and /usr/bin/nvidia-smi for Nvidia.

1080's terrible mining performance is due to the GDDR5X memory.

--instances=2  Possible faster

2 instances is the default without including the argument.

R2 made my old gtx 680 work.  Was already working great on my rx 470s.  Does R2 fix anything other than nvidia support?  In other words, any point updating my amd rigs?

Just says 'mining on 1 device' then nothing after that (AMD cards).

I haven't included the latest updates in R2, so that may be it. I will build a new version soon.

Two 1080 cuda 8 ubuntu 16.04 - went something wrong or is that the max with those cards?

[ylpkm]

gtx 1080 silentarmy v5 ported to win:
instances6= major slowdown, pc crashed.
instances 4= ~56
instances 3= 48 sol/s
instances 2= avg ~56 sol/s
instances 1=~58


nvidia nicehash eqm miner:
58 sol/s

5x 1070 cards on celeron dual core is no go, CPU usage is 100% and speed is 40% or 30-35 sol/s per card

Yeah I can only run 1 instance (win), 2 slows hashrate down a lot.  just testing one card, cpu is a 4.5ghs i7-2700k.  480 4g nitro.

The same here. Windows 10, 4Gb RAM + 16Gb swap file. 6x 470 8 Gb

i installed cygwin and tried to run your R2 version
but it tells me cygmin is not an internal or external command

did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

g1840 - 26% cpu per device (1070), so four-five or more devices is no go atm

same happens to me even on an i7 rig
