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

[ayiphelmy]

same rigs 6x390
rig 1 | win 8.1 - 68H/s per card
rig 2 | win 10 - crash after first share --- problem with all win 10 rigs

Install 15.12 drivers.

for those on win 10.. copy the zecminer64 exe from ver 2.1 to the 3.0 folder overwriting the file.  Then try it.. Seems the gains are had in the files associated with zecminer :0  plus no crash.

seems win 10 has some wierd issue with giving this version access.  Not sure why it didnt do it on first load up but second or third time it gave me a error that it didnt have rights to the cards..

BEST ANSWER!!!!

Around 58-60 H/s with r9 280x, 1000/1500 clocks (stock settings). Looks like newer cards are taking the lead now. I'm not complaining, of course it should be like that but i hoped we old card owners could have a close race a little bit longer

[xeridea]

my problem is not your a thief and steal someone's code , i hope your not my problem is the FEE I wish you would  give us a some way to pay to unlock it instead you say if i don't like it don't use it ,my repose back is  I have to if I  want to mine and use windows sense i don't write code and not to good at it. or I would write my own and wouldn't use your miner and as it stands once there is a working version of silent army for windows, i won't use it , right now i have to . I don't hate you, we all have to make a living some way or another . i hope you understand why i feel like i do and why . I'm sure you will ignore this because you don't care .


thanks top .


 

So you could get 80H/s on Claymore, or 78H/s after fee.  Or you could get 50H/s on SilentArmy with no fee.  Nothing against SA miner, and I am all for FOSS, just saying speeds aren't as fast.  Claymore is making this super fast miner, use it or don't?  You don't HAVE to use it.  You could just not mine at all.  His many many hours of work enable you to get good returns on mining, quit complaining.  Having a paid miner is dumb, makes it harder for the small miner, and you don't know how good it will be until you buy it.  Plus it adds a lot of useless overhead for Claymore micro managing all the sales.

it wasn't directed to you  !!! .  read what i said ......  and claymore miner doesn't give that kind if hash like you claim i don't have to prove shit to you . that's more for claymroe to understand that fee sucks and l'l gladly pay one time unlock fee, i won't pay a sub because who knows how long it will last . so don't but in i want that made public, i like the miner .  I'm sorry you don't understand i really don't care if you do or don't your not claymroe are you .you not paying now sigh this a paid miner if you use it you pay if that's not a paid miner i don't what is it just another way of doing it .

later GL sorry you don't understand .

That rambling is hard to understand...  Many people have confirmed speed.  My point is, Claymore doesn't want to waste time micromanaging everyone who pays upfront. He would rather code, and make good miners, and have miners available to all. Claymore likes his community, but doesn't listen to whiners.  The guy who makes private crypto miners, is a jerk, speeds aren't worth cost, and devfee on top of that, you should go mine for him....

Thank you its work for my R9 290X .

Code:

GPU returned incorrect data! 

how can I deal with it ?

Reduce clocks, loosen timings, or reduce undervolt.  Works on 21 470/480 cards for me, (and a 7950), all flawless.  8 are bios mod, but not extreme. Each new version is faster, and also puts more load on GPU, so it causes issues for some with more extreme tweaks.

Claymore is MEGA-monster!  
RX480 4G with mod. mem timings = 70-72 sol\sec

wich timings are you using?

can you share the rom?

thanks

ROM (from MSI RX480 4G, only for HYNIX memory):
http://hushome.com/img/patched2(1950stable).rom (click rmouse and select "save link as...")
Overclocked memory from 1750 to 1950@1000mV (or 2000-2050@1250mV - this may damage your card)
Result:

[ioglnx]

Lol with the Mod i get 72H on my RX480 8GB..omg
It's the PowerColor Red Devil RX480 Dual Fan Version :-D

Monster really

@the Guy who said never for Nvidia..That's not true Claymore just state maybe not in the beginning for CUDA but he never said never! Until now. Maybe you can confirm claymore?

v3.0:

- improved speed by 20-30% (depends on card model). Up to 80H/s on stock 390X on "-i 2" mode.

PS. For those haters who think that I'm a thief and steal someone's code: don't use my miners, my efforts are not for you!

Noice! I think those haters were mostly ppl who were butthurt that they were the only ones getting good speeds because they were on linux, and you levelled the playing field, so they decided to start some FUD. You punched em right in the profits!

Yes I confirmed it after some research. That's why I won't support Linux anymore - now they must use some different, good miner instead of my bad "cloned" miner.

Srsly?

We have a sayin here, way the village treats the dog, the way dog treats the village. And if someone justifies his actions like that, makes me ask, "are you a dog?"

Just because some stupidass haters throw shit into fan dont make them own linux. If windows version was the one that leaked, would you stop develop that?

You know you are the Man ? :-) Worked now with much more Speed on my Main System without Crashes. My two Rigs works with original v3.0 too.

Thanks,

If you guys look at GPGPU Benchmarks
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU16/1512

You will notice that the 480 8GB will at max be 20% faster than the 290 under full optimization.

Comparing the results


480 8GB - 120MH/s
290 - 107MH/s
280x - 83.3MH/s
7850 - 45.5MH/s

Using the same ratios that leads to Claymore software

Nano - 98 Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
Fury X - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
480 8GB - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally.
290 - 75 Sol/s
280x - 55Sol/s
7850 - 30Sol/s

We are FVCKED if some developer released a Optimized Nvidia ZEC miner however because if its released and uses a similar hashing algo as Claymore then...

GTX 1080 - 262MH/s
GTX 1070 - 224.4MH/s
980Ti - 213.6MH/s

Converting to what we have now


GTX 1080 - 183Sol/s
GTX 1070 - 157Sol/s
980Ti - 150Sol/s


Thank god all the Nvidia miner devs are greedy and keeping everything PRIVATE.

Nice work, getting a 22% boost in speed across all my cards.

all xfx cards are moded for ETH with low voltage mod and none of them had this problem, one card in 120, how can it be ?

Not every program is the same. Just because your video card can run League of Legends at 1350MHz, doesn't mean it won't crash if you try to run FurMark using the same settings. For everyone here having problems with crashes, blue screens, incorrect data, etc., TRY REDUCING YOUR OVERCLOCKS. It's not Claymore's job to 'fix his miner' because you refuse to find lower settings that work and tweak upwards from there. Also, every card is different. Just because one guy can copy 1375MHz memory straps and run at 2100MHz mem clock, doesn't mean that your card will be able to do the same. How about you try running 1375MHz straps at 1375MHz clock and see if it works first? If it does, that means THE PROBLEM IS YOUR OC.

EDIT: For people that want to mod your BIOS for higher speeds, just be aware that you need to test for stability and tune your speeds for the program you are using. It is a trial and error process and there is no cookie-cutter BIOS or OC settings that will "just work" for every card, in every program. That said, there is a lot of good info here:

Zcash loads it differently, a lot of people with custom eth bios have issues.  use stock bios (if you have dual bios...) or back off tweaks.

Claymore can i use cpu mining nheqminer and v3.0 claymore zcash gpu with x3 390x on my i5 4690k together? Does it affect something in speed of my gpu with your program??

in task manager, set zecminer64 to above normal priority, and cpu miner to low priority.

[core]

where Linux version?

[hcarpach]

I'm having problems with the 3.0 version and my 370 GPUs. It says: OpenCL error 0 #101 - - 61. With all my 5 GPUs

What could this be?

[Gaglam]

The biggest change is that there is no log file anymore. Who knows why?  
No speed improvement for me on 280x
Keep up the good work.

[Banksuckmyballs]

Around 75 on the 390s (2 are running 80-82),  37-38 on the 380s, 55-60 on the 470s480s, and 62 on the 280x
not bad at all.  about 25% increase from previous version for me.

A bit off topic, but I have the sapphire nitro 470 I got (return from RMA)...and in atiflash it always fails....cant read rom.  Unless claymore is running then it reads it and "pass".  any ideas ?  I want to flash it but so far the only way would be to flash it while its working....which doesnt sound too good.

I had the same problem.. puzzled me for ages. Some rigs it read fine others not. I worked it out that if you copy the ATI folder with all files and put it in downloads and run it from there as administrator it works fine.
