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

[Kimax]

I have sorted this list alphabetical:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Claymore8.0_card_speeds


for better reading!

 

I was actually thinking of sorting it with GPU.
Oldest to Newest.

BTW. it was me who splitted the column "Card Name" and added the 2 columns "Brand" and "GPU" instead.

actualy i sorted to alphabetical and models yet

v.9 caming soon)

I will be changing the wiki page and add another Column for Miner version. I'm on my way to work right now, but the changes will happen within 6 hours. I will be providing a New Link if needed.

We need a spreadsheet like this.

Just thought I would share my benchmarking of the R9 nano.

All power measurements were done at the wall to be 100% accurate.
Benchmarks were done with  Claymore ZEC - v8.0 (-i 4)

Stock:
1 gpu: ZEC: 272 h/s Watts: 200w

-100mV ROM
1 gpu: ZEC: 211 h/s Watts:  91w

-125mV ROM
1 gpu: ZEC: 217 h/s Watts: 90w

you are missing a -100 core undervolt benchmark for stock

I couldn't do -100 undervolt on stock. The most it will let me undervolt is 75 and it made very little difference.

[Dentidan]

Definitely ETC + Sia better than Zec currently 

Not if you are paying power eth + SIA is power hungery by like 30% , Eth alone uses a bit more power than ZEC alone so its a no brainer to mine ZEC if you have power over .10

If you have the R9 280 or 7970, it is better to mine the ZEC. If you have the RX 470 or 480, it is better to mine the ETH now.

Marvell is correct.

using AB, crank down core to -100 -mV or -96 mV, you can easily get 150watts on stock card - it's a easily forgiving card.

That is right. The memory undervolt does not make much differnce. It is 1W difference from -100mV to 125mV.

yup even more impressive you can set the power limit down around -30 and still get around 260 h/s with i-4 and watage is down to around 120-130 watts
r9 nano and fury's in general are the undisputed kings of ZEC mining. Th00ber and Other fury experts tipped me off to this.

Let's see how long the ZEC price stays at this level.

[Assaro]

At what max temps should I keep my R9 390s?
At what temps do you keep them?

Anyone has any good BIOS mod for them?

in general is the rule, low temps are prolonging the lifespan of the components.... (heat kills them..)

so try to get them as cold as you are possible, in the cost efficient way...

my temps are between 52°C - 71°C ...(fans between 70%-75%)

try to make the best airflow in the rig, and place the GPUs properly.. idk how much space u have..

With 52c and 70% fan speed, you will be replacing a lot of fans with no gain in longevity.
Use box fans and try to turn down the gpu fans to 40-50%.
Anything under 80c will work for years.

are you sure about this? well my is idea more or less the same, that you can replace the fans... They are all in warranty for 2-6 years, but if the fans stop spinning i can get box fans cheaper then if the GPU stops to work. In short, its easier to change the fans, im not able to change any other part of the gpu.... and believe me that i tryed many options to cool them as effective as i can... this is my best result...

Remeber too that eth price is depressed right now, it could shoot back up to 12 at any news then all the hash runs back to eth , either way miners win

[Densitymax]

For me the Dwarfpool was one of the best ETH pools and pay close to calculator.  I have not tried ZEC pool but I think will also be one of the best.

[Kimax]

I have changed the wiki page, so its no longer restricted to the Claymore V8.0, but instead is a comparison table for ZCash in general.

I copied the data from the old table to the new and added a column for the miner version.

Hope you will enjoy this and please add your own results to the table.

With regards to the gpu hashing at 1000 h/s its a radeon pro duo
R9 390 hashes at 300 h/s with 40 compute units

Pro duo has 128 compute units hbm memory and tdp 300 watts

Dear All, I am new to Crypto Currency. Hence please do not mind my limited knowledge.

If Radeon Pro Duo gives 1000h/s at 300 watts then it is better than rx 480 rig.
Both initial cost(as compared to multiple rx480 for same 1000h/s) and electricity cost are lower.
also there will be less investment on PSU.
Right??

Go mine on Dwarfpool!!! No stealing shares  like other pools..... I switched from flypool to dwarfpool, and I have 15% more shares!!!(my real shares)

@bitbit017 .. are you sure about it? what speed you have ?  idk, but something is wrong there today... and im not much impressed about shares...  my increase is just in the rejected ones, as i moved from 0,15%/0,25% to actual 0,76%/1,31% of rejected shares...

also my income is not impressive atm.. after 13h have just 0,072 ZEC with 2,7kh/s   lets see what will be the result after 24h.....  

does anyone else have some experience ??

Yes I'm right about that... My real power is about 11200Sol/s with v8!! I mined in  flypool from begining. I never saw a peak power greater than 10700sol/s in flypool. My average effective hashrate was about 10200sol/s in flypool. In dwarfpool my average hashrate it's about 11200sol/s or greater and it's exactly my power. The only thing that dwarfpool needs it's more users, to have more power to find more blocks.......
Flypool is PPLNS, dwarfpool is HBPPS

I used dwarfpool back in the ETH days for many reasons
But the fact is that dwarfpool lost the ZEC train out of complacency
Needs a lot more time and luck to be worth it to use dwarfpool for ZEC
Now it has 350 workers approx. and it mines 1-2 blocks per day

Let's see workers get to 5000 and then we can start thinking of using it again
Because it really sucks to mine all night with 2.000h/s and get nothing in the morning

Yes, you are right with that!
Dwarfpool needs more workers, more power. We can help with that....
Because to me it seems to be the fairest pool. On Eth was the same thing for me

[Assaro]

not at the moment.... switched back to flypool, as i was disconnected by the dwarfpool and doent got jobs for more than 10 mins.... next i have to pay some bills, gave a shot for 24h and i got 0,16 zec which is approx 50% of normal earnings.

Also is there a high reject rate atm, had it after 24H from 0,94% - 1,09% which is little bit high...

they have to fix it and if it will be stable ill join the party gladly, as i was also happy with it on ETH... looking forward to get it fixed, GL....

Or It could continue to slide downhill... the curve is not really nice this times.

I can confirm it. Dwarfpool reports exactly the true hashrate and variable diff works also fine. It adjusts your worker diff to have ~200 shares per hour.

Please add your result to the GPU Comparison table.

Thats is some insane speed.

I'm mining with Dwarf right now, the only thing you loose with Dwarf is payouts for the time being, their very slow because the number of found blocks is so low. Eth on there was the most fair pool I've ever used, and i think zec will be the same.

For contrast, Dwarfpool right now has 1.7% of the network, with 700k S/s.
Flypool has 35.68297116878886% of the network
Suprnova has >0.1%
Coinmine.pl has 15.96402616877132%
We need to distribute things more.

How about the CPU mining software? . I have some servers to be free.
if possible , please give me the new link for that. Thanks

Well, if ETH lands up being the coin to stay on, the Nano's aren't leading the RX cards by much.
