Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[Etherion]

I am using 3x Radeon Pro Duo's

- 15.12 is not compatible.
- 16.3.2 Windows will work with 2 cards and miner too. When the 3rd is installed, the pc will BSOD in a loop with error [System Thread Exception Not Handled (atikpmag.sys)]
- 16.10 all cards will show in windows, miner will hash @ 0
- 17.3.1 all cards will show in windows, miner will crash after launching.

Any suggestions ? thanks in advance !

What mobo? Can you try 16.11.5?

I'm really interested to know cause I'm thinking of sticking 3 pro duo cards in a tower case in the office, but haven't selected the mobo yet...

For Pro Duo it's only 16.3.2 Your problem is not driver related I suppose, try proper mobo, or clean win10 install.

For the price of the Duo you could have had 3 x 6 card RX470 rigs. that is +5000Sol/s vs 2800. Not even counting advantage of the lower power cost.

@TheRider : Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION. Will try 16.11.5
@omshree : Tried that.
@Etherion : True when assuming i bought it for 1,500USD. You can buy it for half the price direct from XFX. The main goal was compact rig with lowest noise.

For reference, my AMD 290x's top out at 373 H/s per gpu. 12.3, asm 1, intensity needs to be around 6. Anything else and it diminishes significantly.

You need to flash 390x bios to have these speeds!

@TheRider : Nope, no go.   16.11.5 has the same behavior as 16.10.
2x cards work in windows but miner has 0 hash, add 3rd card and will get BSOD loop till removed.

Hello,



When i try to launch my 5 cards remotely only 1 starts

They do work if i do it directly from the pc.


Is the a command i could use to fix this?



 

You can't use RDP, you need teamviewer

Chrome Remote Desktop works pretty well for anyone who uses Chrome..

Ok thanks good to know maybe i'l try that

But the funny thing is i have another rig also with 5 cards and it starts fine remotely using RDP    

I even took a video the other day of my hash rate and watts at the wall!

my msi 290x twin frozr gaming is at stock bios reaching ~358 H/s (overclocked).

[jordanBG]

Great miner !! Very stable 12.3  15 RIGs  - 6x390 .
All work well !! core 1100, mem 1500
400~408h/s per card
I have a question not to claymore . Why 3 of my rigs need a dongle or monitor to start after restart or power on, other 12 don't need
Ty again !!!

Can the same be done for 380x?

You can modify the bios on the 380x but the main issue is the 256bit Memory bus. The 390s have 512bit Memory bus. Overall Tonga (380s) are weak for ZEC. That being said you should use your 380s for ETH because you can get between 22MH/s and 24MH/s. Currently I have a Powercolor R9 380 running at 24.7MH/s on ETH. Also one reason some cards do better than others of the same model is the memory type the cards have. Samsung and Hynix are excellent for overclocking, Elpida not soo much.

One AMD RX 480, 8GB
About 304 H/s

Does that RX480 have a 256 bit or 512 bit bus?

It has 256 bit  bus. So it is slower than R9 390.

I wonder why my Sapphiry Fury Nitro show 0 sols with asm algo. Anyone experienced this?

[DR_TAMFR_DHP]

For the guys using Fury's , is it this card?

What are you all using for ZEC wallet? 

I've been sending my ZEC to my Jaxx osx wallet.  But since claymore is such a bad ass programmer, Jaxx has gotten real sluggish with all of the transactions I have going through now.

I used to use the linux gui wallet but switched to the windows one: https://github.com/vaklinov/zcash-swing-wallet-ui/blob/master/docs/Readme-Windows.md
I like it, haven't had any issues yet but make sure to back up your .dat and keys files just in case! My Linux wallet crashed but since I had my keys and .dat file I was able to migrate it to the Windows version with little trouble.
