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

[Blamsud]

hello,

one question about mining zcash.
i alredy have 2 rigs (sapphires 470 and 480 8gb) and i am mining mostly ehereum.

i will like to build one mlre rig, more specialist for zcash. i will like to know what do i need to look on gpus? for ethereum i was looking more on memory, how is here.
do i need to buy 8gb or i can get 4 gb for the same hashing power? i know that nvidia is better, but it is also more expensive.

any advice very welcome. thanks.

If you mainly want to mine ZEC, it is better to buy the nVidia GPU now. For AMD, if you can buy old GPU, the R9 390 is good.

Depends on the price dif between RX470 4GB and RX 480 8GB. In most cases, % increase in cost is not justified by the % increase in performance. Except if you have a density problem then that offset the cost increase. All up to your numbers.

Best way is to work out for the same hash target. You will need 9 RX480 8GB rigs to match 10 RX470 4Gb rigs.

Cost of 1000W PSU
Cost of MB, CPU and RAM
Cost of 6 Risers.
Cost of the frame.
Cost of 6 GPU's

Get the totals and compare
6 x RX480 8GB 1830 sols/s
6 x RX470 4Gb 1680 sols/s

Please am about to build a rig of 5x R9 270x for zecash miner

please what's the stock hashrate for R9 270x on zcash using the latest claymore miner v12.4

Why not 280x ? They have better hashrate/wattage ratio.

@topic
if i use "-nofee 1" will miner show real hashrate? i mean without those optimisation or it will lie?

what is the hashrate of 280x?

Guys, windows detected rundas.b in this miner last friday.  Anyone else have this problem?

[br2459]

Anyone using MSI Twin Frozr 7970? I want to compare and see if I can get more out of it.

For Zcash the "best" option would be GTX 1070s.... if your budget permits buying the more expensive hardware at the start. If you check out nicehash.com profit calculator and use their hashrate for Equihash, Lbry, and LyraRev2 algorithms on the whattomine.com calculator you will see that their are several coins that do very well with NVIDIA right now. ZEC, VTC, MONA, and Lbry are coins that come to mind atm, there may be others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

VOTES for v 12.5

Yay! We need more speed! 

More speed is more difficult.

Who cares about speed at this point? Give me more solid code, and lower dev-fee

[UnclWish]

Spend a lot of time trying to configure my 200-x cards to stable work on 12.4.
12.4 is very sensitive to OC or UC... Nearly stable on stock clocks.
Returning to 12.2. - it's more stable on OC or UC cards. And give a little more speed with OC than 12.4 on stock.

Claymore, please make 12.5 more stable for OC cards at least like 12.2 with speed of 12.4.

[ronelord]

10 x 6 x R9 290 with 12.4 - running over 150hrs without a roblem.
UC and UV - about 2k sol/s with 1350w at the wall.
With 1800w I can get 2,5k sol/s - but the hot is.... like hell.

my 290x burned and it was the happiest day of my life :-)

I have one r9 270 and three r9280x GPUs now. I'M planning to sell them one by one and replace them with nvidia gtx 1070.
Does AMD and NVidia cards work together in the same rig?

I don't think they currently work together using Claymore for mining ZEC. I believe it is supposed to be possible to mine ETH with Claymore's ETH miner using AMD and Nvidia together, but I have never tried it.

I recently sold some AMD cards and bought Nvidia and they are great at mining ZEC with EWBF's miner - but that is CUDA (Nvidia) only I think.

[joe50]

When are we expecting version 12.5?

Go for 280/280x instead! Cheap and around 300 sols/s depending on clocl
