Genoil's ZEC miner: AMD ZCash miner for Windows - 0.6

[stef942]

not better, always same error

Code:

zec-sa#1 writing binary kernels/cache/zec-sa-Pitcairn-64-20.bin
zec-sa#1clCreateBuffer(-61)
zec-sa#1clSetKernelArg(-48)
zec-sa#1 Mining thread quitzec

thanks for your help

I'm getting something like 80+ sol/s with my three XFX RX 480 8 GB graphics cards... Much much better than other miners present around.

Thanks Genoil, work perfect with Rx 470 Nitro+ , core clock 1150 MHz , 35 sol/s.

You mean "perfect"

0.5 works horrible here (Win 7/64, Crimson 15.12, 1x R9 290x, 3x R9 Nano).
Runs one single time for ~3 minutes, than one by one card crashes > 0 sol.
After restarting miner, AMD driver crashes, windows freezes and reboots. Also after deleting all compiled kernels. No chance to refloat this miner again.

Very curios. My RIG runs fine since months with ETH, SIA, XMR, also right now with ZEC/CoinsForAll silent army miner.

Ok this is what you do in these cases.
1. go here and look up the -61 error: https://tersetalk.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/opencl-error-codes/
2. google the name of the error: https://www.google.nl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE
3. hit the first link. Khronos is good. They're OpenCL's boss. Ctrl+F and search the error string again. You wil now read:

CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE if size is 0 or is greater than CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE value specified in table of OpenCL Device Queries for clGetDeviceInfo for all devices in context.

I would suggest trying again with

SET GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
SET GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

in your bat file.

If this doesn't help, try the lowest intensity (16). It uses much less RAM.

Its weird, I get the same error as him with a Radeon 6990 (Cayman). But his 7850 GPU should work with your miner.

Please help with bat file...
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u Genoil.SilentArmy -p z -i 16 -w 64 -P 1 -g 1
r390 working with that... but at radeon sapphire 8gb 480 i get "clGetDeviceIDs"

for open CL set -P 0 instead of -P 1

Hi everyone, can I mine with this mining pool? http://coinsforall.io/#!/coin/ZCASH I don't have any idea how to connect this awesome miner to this pool, I noticed that they have their own miner.. Your help is really appreciated.. Thanks

My first GPU is gtx 1070, rx 480 in a second slot,,
I tried -p and -g 0 -g 1 -g 2  with -P 0 and -P1 - nothing results

I've made a quick noob proof guide to miner

works fine, apart from crashing every 5-15 min on any random gpu....

SET GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

thanks for your help but it doesnt work and setting intensity to 16 makes display driver to crash 

problem seems to occur at pitcairn.bin creation, retry several times and notice sometime zec-sa-pitcairn-64-20.bin is created and sometime not  but it always crash in both cases so i use -g 0 to mine with my 2nd card.

What version of windows do you have? what cpu?

I got 2 of those 7850 2GB

One works in WIndows 7 with older 15.12 AMD drivers

Another in Windows 10 with newer 16.9.2 AMD drivers


So no idea why its not working. Also my R7 370 which are Pitcairn also work in every rig.

I've put:
amd_opencl32.dll
amd_opencl64.dll
amdocl.dll
amdocl12cl.dll
amdocl12cl64.dll
amdocl64.dll
from 16.10.3 hotfix driver

in a folder with genoil.exe and get ~34 sol with a 7970 card and ~32 sol with a 7950 card

it seems strange, but the same procedure does not affect to R9-390 card:( Only ~33 sol with -k zec zec zec option

Guys important question. Suprnova pool or flypool? I moved to flypool cuz nova was constantly down but i read some post with people saying that flypool is not counting ur shares right. So anyone tried both pools? which one is better?

Could the 1500strap mod make the RX cards unstable with this miner ?
I am ripping my hair here because it is a full time job babysitting this.

I just lowered my restart time for the miner to 5 minutes because cards go zero allover the place.
