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

It pretty much doesn't matter which GPU you have, they are all the same speeds.

My RX470 is 45Sols and my $20 Radeon 7850 is 30 Sol/s

you mean it doesn't matter what bios I use right?

No I mean the GPU in general.

There is a huge bottleneck somewhere on the GPUs or in the algorithm or in the software so every GPU hashes at almost very similar speeds.

It still matters what GPU.  A 460 will be a lot slower than a 470, and Nvidia cards are terrible.  A 470 8GB is obviously faster than a 470 4GB, memory speed and timings matter a lot.  The older gen cards seem to do well though, this is partially due to Claymore focusing on 7000, 200, 300 series cards so far.  The older cards also do fine on Ethereum, with lower Epochs......

Miners crack me up.

We made boatloads on zcash initially. BUT this is just from launch and the fact that there wasn't a lot of coins. That's always the case at launch.

The REAL money is long term. Zcash promises to deliver truly anonymous transactions.  If that works the dark.net uses of this coin will go through the roof.  No one will use BTC anymore.

Look at Monero. I don't see a point in this coin but it got picked up by 1 dark.net market and suddenly the value shot through the roof.

What Zcash is trying to do is make anonymous transactions. If that becomes a reality it could be one of the most popular coins around. Right now though, you can't spend your Zcash so as supply grows the price drops. As soon as you can start to spend Zcash on the dark.net the price will go back up.

it seems to me not so much profitable.


Zcash 24 our 380 h/s = $15.45

ETH 24 our  350 mh/s = $26.39

ETHC 24 our 350 mh/s = $24.03

if for cards 470 480 380x 390x do not get to 100 h / s to not see well card


 

How you are getting 350mh on ETH and 380h/s with ZCASH? I am getting 400h/s zcash and only 200mh at ETH? With what miner are you mining ETH?

[Etolay]

I also have good results from v2.

My r9 290s are doing 58-61 sols

My 470 8gb is doing 48-50 sols.

Are your 290s modded?

can u share gpu model and cpu

1 x Sapphire R9 290 tri-x not modded but overclocked to 1100 core clock
1 x Sapphire R9 290 dual-x same as above
1 x MSI RX 470 8gb modded. Used 1750 timing for both 1850(i think or maybe 1875) and 2000. Core clock is at stock 1242 but memory is overclocked to 2000. Stock is 1650 which is really bad.

CPU is an old i7-2700k 3500 sand bridge.

With -i 2, this setup is hashing at 169-175 now

Another improvement.

[theandrewcred]

why the video card R9 380 2gb -i 2 gives an error OPENCL ERROR -61

[fr4nkthetank]

"CPU is an old i7-2700k 3500 sand bridge"

well, that's what I have on my computer.  runs at 4.5ghz easy.  it does 25 sols about.

[mogs]

Is the Linux version live yet?

[snowyNNN]

Trump for chairman of Zcash! 

My 7950`s and r9 280x´s are rocking with 38-50+ hashes!

[jokelo]

Gee thanks!

I ment setting it, I can copy it but where and how? In the enviromental window you must also write the path.. So does anyone understand my problem?

You need to create a bat file and put it in the same folder where the miner files are.

This is my bat file:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ZecMiner64.exe -r 2 -i 0 -tt 65 -ttli 75  -tstop 80 -fanmax 75 -fanmin 40 -dbg -1 -zpool us1-

zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal "your payment address" -zpsw x

do you know how to create a bat file?

Thank you very much!
Yes I know.But do I overwrite the start.bat or create a new one and name it anything? Oh, and since i'm from eu, what should I write ''-zpool us1'', coz eu1 doesn't work?

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal "your payment address" -zpsw x

the other command line options in his .bat were for restart, temp controls/fan settings, and enabling debug, none of which might be of interest to you. In fact the -i 0 option does nothing as it is the default anyway.

So thanks again for all the help. Runing now on two r9 280x with 50 H/s each , smoothly through the night. So now I would like to use my cpu aswell. Gotta figure that one out now. I have i5-3570K, so I think I can squize another 30 sols?

[Meech]

How do you solve gpu 0 running lower speeds when connected to a monitor?  Go headless with teamviewer or is there a variable in the .bat I can add.

[disodium]

Why doesn't Zcash miner show which card generated rejected share in stats or log files? That is an extremely helpful feature of ETH miner when it comes to troubleshooting overclocking. Now when it freezes - go figure which one is guilty.

On the other hand ethminer takes about a minute to initialize on some of my machines, apart from generating DAG files. Zcash miner is much faster in this respect. Why such a difference?

[klondike_bar]

for some reason, first time i used 2.1 with "-i 2" on my 270x cards, now im having all sorts of problems.

2.1 wont mine (no text past the [CLAYMORE] header), and nicehashminer crashes the system when initializing devices.

Hi guys! (and girls _ Did You test which pool is most effective in Zcash mining?

Miner hangs during miner restart. Can't even close window with miner. Only restart of rig helps.

[snakey]

Claymore will you focus on better SOL/S for the rx470/rx480 8g cards soon?

[HerrDirektor]

Good work, Calymore

RX480 4G with mod. memory timings: GPU: 1303(stock)@mem:1950(overclock from 1750) = 57-58 sol/sec, ~110W

Your equihash rate is way too low. If done right it should be double of what ethash rates are.

That is about right. For my AMD R9 390, it can do 30MH/s. For the ZEC, it can do 60 slol/s or 30H/s. 1H/s = 2 Sol/s.

60 on a r9 390 (not x ?)  mine does 56-57  what clock you run at?

in total i do 410mh on ether and 860 on zcash (r9 270 has very good speed, close to 380's)

I had 58-60 sols/s for 390 nonx, the frequency is 1120/1250. The memory frequency does not need to be too high.
