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

[shakeandbake]

Radeon 7790 0sol/s in perpetuity... not sure why?

[adaseb]

The Nvidia Guys are Crying.........

[Trimegistus]

Guys, I need a small explanation on what is the purpose of the -k parameter 

Using -k zec zec on my rigs is getting me less speed than with the default -k zec

GPU - Sapphire 480 Nitro OC 4Gb

Anyone cares to explain this?

[ryantc]

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!


Copy the entire directory of AMD\Non-WHQL-Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.10.3-Oct27\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B308236

Into the Genoil directory, will be like 100 files over 250MB long.


I used the Windows 7 AMD 16.10.3 NOT the Windows 10 like shown above.

Interesting I tried to delete all files I just copied in and system prompt one of the files is in use by Genoil.exe......

--krnl,-k kernelname       set kernel(s)            -k zec

- --krnl/-k parameter can have multiple parameters. This will launch more CPU threads, each running a miner with the specified kernel. For now, only dual (or more) zec is supported, i.e. '-k zec zec'
 
about all i can tell you is what the help me says i honestly don't see a point in using it, it slows all my stuff down and is on by default, i read some place. it's what gave old cards a nice boost when it was added to Genoil's

Interesting findings here, I put all files in the folder and it seems doing more S/s, first I thought it might be coincidence as the hashing speed jumps up and down a lot, then I tried to delete all files I just copied in and system prompt one of the files is in use by Genoil.exe......

So this means it does have sort of effect, I am trying to put Win 7 version in and see what will happen.

Yes and erase your old kernel bin

Genoil zec miner is very very vey bad. Crash Crash Crash !

Thank you for the great work your doing. Sent you a little donation in BTC.

280x = 27ish - 32ish @ 1150/1500mem
290x = 23ish - 29ish @ 1000/1125mem -75coremV modded roms
Nano = 14ish - 21ish @ 900/300mem modded rom
7990 = 11ish - 17ish @ 1050/1500 on each core

Everything is WAY cooler than running ETH.
Currently V0.5 is more stable then 0.6 except with the Nano's.

Keep up the great work

um u should have over 30+ on 290x run mem at 1500 also your 7990 is running slower than your 280x a 7990 should be 2x that 280x

1500 mem? You sure it can overclock that high when the stock speed is 1250?

Whats your core/mem and what drivers are you using?

I've been trying to get the 290x to preform better but nothing really is helping yet. I did check the Kill-a-watt last night and the unit at the wall was using 930 watts. I wont be able to run 1500 mem on them because of the modded ROM. They are tuned to run low power.
The 7990 also should be rocking but it's not liking it. It is will the nano rig, that may have something to do with it as well. Might also be the dual GPU issue.
I had to go back to V.5 for the nano's and 7990. So at the moment everything is running V.5 and on 15.12 or testing on the 16.10.3 hot fix(no difference with 16 and v.6) with Win 10.

My rig 470 4gb *5

Can only run genoil's with 2 gpu
and nheqminer 3 gpu

if run more than 2 gpu

Blue screen error with code

Thread_stuck_in_device_driver

and dump file error is

atikmdag.sys and dxgkrnl.sys

My current driver is 16.10.3 Hotfix

please help me to use genoil for 5 gpu because it's very faster thagn nheqminer

Please help me this problem thx

run one instance of Gnoil per pair of GPU. Read back the thread you can do that.

Try but bye bye too

Waiting someone help me

what pool are you on ? .  don't blame the miner so much now it might be your pool so i found out .

try this pool .

I'm only getting 16 - 20 sols on FX 380X cards using Crimson 16.3 - any ideas?  

I'm seeing others with significantly better hash although 380X appears to be a weak card.  Has anyone run into this issue?  Based on what I read I thought this was the driver I needed (up from 15.12).  I browsed thru the thread and noticed some people thought it might be CPU related (but I never saw head to head comparison with the same cards - so nothing conclusive).  

I also have 4GB of ram (don't think it should make a difference).  My cards are running at 50c - so obviously not stressed much at all.

Any ideas?

Radeon 7790 0sol/s in perpetuity... not sure why?

It has only 1GB memory. You need a 2GB card to mine it. If you look at the memory  usage, it is about 1.6 GB.

I tried to use the -k zec zec on my R9 nano, the speed is actually lower. How do you get 40S/s on this card?

[king_pin]

7950/280/280X with Hynix Memmory seem to be preforming much better and more stable. Comparing it to Elpida memory, GPU usage goes 0-100 like a heartbeat, and on Hynix memory cards GPU usage is at stable ~80%

AND/OR it is a mix of memory type and driver version.

Genoil you should add an option to run some cards with zec and some with zec zec zec

I flipped the switch on the 290 to the stock bios and running at 1050/1500 uses less power than ETH mining but the speed is only 29Sol/s

I just tried four threads (-k zec zec zec zec) for the first time and I get 34-37 sols as against 24 - 27 without -k on my RX 480.

My cards have Hynix memory but the zec zec makes them slower 

[toptek]

i need to ask and i don't know or wouldn't ask, who mining at 643,775.802 sols and making 148 sec = 208 btc a day  if it was BTc i would know are they renting or is there big crops like bitmain using GPU now  , just wondering. i really don't  care because it's fair game gpu mining they can't stop it unless nvidia and AMD get like bitmain which won't happen .

[Newwsr]

Zec very unstable mining begins and then loses speed 5x280x 110 sols after some time is horrible 20sols

[Altcoining]

I just tried four threads (-k zec zec zec zec) for the first time and I get 34-37 sols as against 24 - 27 without -k on my RX 480.

Mine crashes doing that, not sure why.

2 x rx 480.

Code:

genoil.exe -c stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357 -u Myzcashaddress -p x -w 64 -P 0 -k zec zec zec zec
