I like the leds around this time of year.  Reminds me of good ol usb blockerupter xmas lights.

Anyone has the v7 hashrate on the r9 270x? Tia

Sapphire R9 270X Dual OC - 98-101 h/s

[forzendiablo]

280x is the best as usual price vs sols ))

hence why this cards even used get bought out on ebay

Need quick help.. I usually use Saphire Trixx software to control my clocks. To make it easier i wanted to add -cclock and mem clock into the script. But when do that even at stock speeds it crashes and hard locks. Its like its fighting for control from another application which i have non other than the stock amd settings. what could be causing the hard locks?

What is the best setting (modded bios setting and overclock setting) for RX 470 & rx 480 to produce the lowest Watt : hash ratio OR the highest Hash : Watt ratio?

Mine is (i'm not sure if my setting is good enough), but here the number:


RX 470 8GB memory type samsung, asic quality 63.2% (according to GPU-Z)

Setting: bios strap 1750, core clock = 1300, memory clock = 2000, GPU voltage -108mv (on sapphire trixx)
Result: 162 H/s, power consumption around 130 W on the wall,  87 Watt average in GPU-Z ===> ratio hash:power = 1.24 H/watt

RX 480 4GB, memory type Hynix, asic quality 77.5%

Setting : bios strap 1500, core clock 1300, memory 1750, GPU voltage -78mv (sapphire trixx)
Result:  166 H/s, power consumption 118 W on the wall, 76 W on GPU-Z ==> ratio 1.40 H/watt



Care to share your result?

any advice is highly appreciated.. I still toying with the setting once in a while now..

I really respect the way that this is written with the end result being a H/W.  This makes all gpu readouts apples to apples.  Hashrate per Watts as a final result -or- said differently "How many hashes do you get for the watts you use!"   Very well evaluated!

I'm with you buddy, 280x are best bang for buck since you can get them for cheap as chips thesedays, I just bought a Sapphire version the other day for $100 AUD, it's so much better than my Gigabyte Gaming Edition version and runs much cooler,

Anyone has the v7 hashrate on the r9 270x? Tia

got 110 here powercolor 1150/1425

side note: get 105 on the 7870 on 1200/1250 also powercolor

 That's tempting numbers on that 7870 since I've got 2 of those (one reference, one HIS IceQ)....

 But GAH have to install Windoze for that, SO STUPID.

Guys, I know this has probably been asked, but when is the ETA for the next version for claymore's miner?

I checked the last 6 pages and finally gave up reading, I could not find any mention of the ETA

BTW shout out to Claymore for all the good work!

 The normal ETA for a new Claymore version is "when I think it's ready".

all you had to do was click on the op's profile and look at his post history would have been faster. It was one of his most recent post. Straight from the source.
 1-2 days

Easiest way to find is check Claymore latest posts......

You can already do this by mining at an auto-switching pool using Claymore. What would be useful is for Claymore to auto-switch POOLS based on profit, he can dream big and combine all his miners controlled by a separate program that looks at the pool API's and starts the appropriate miner.

Can you imagine hundreds of thousands of miners hitting that API?

How do you think the nicehash miner works?

Nicehash isn't a free service. They are paying for bandwidth/resources by the fees.
A public API is going to have costs / overheads.

[Hotmetal]

Anyone know if it's possible to run the binary in Ubuntu (with say, WINE)?

That would be a terrible idea. You will have to wait until Claymore releases a Linux version or dual boot Windows.

Dear Claymore

I tried restarting miners via remote manager and instead of restarting they just shut down, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

[viktorheli]

Hi Claymore. Thanks for the good miner. This is not just a good miner, it's the best miner!  But I have a problem with it.

1.   The rig with three cards RX 480. Almost always, when you start miner, one of the card showing low hash rate. Usually it is approximately two times lower. Typical for my config 170-175. One of the cards can show the 40, 80, 110. Each time a different. In order to get the highest hash rate I have repeatedly restart miner. Often this can be done repeatedly restarting the computer. When the card shows the maximum hash rate - CPU loading is 10-15%. At the same time, the GPU loading, on card that show low hashrate is 100%.

2. The second problem. After working about 15-20 hours miner hangs. Writes: Open CL device hung and miner can not be self restarted. I restart the miner repeatedly to get high hashrate.

3. If I put fourth card in rig - Radeon HD 7970, the miner worked for some time simply halts the system. This restart is possible only  disconnect the power supply.
 
What I've done:
1. Install the system Windows 10 from scratch. I put different drivers. Recommended drivers 15.12 - do not see my cards RX 480. Now I use drivers 16.11.4
2. Changed Reiser to other - it does not solve the problem.
3. Place the cards in other slots - not solve problem.
4. Removed from the system Radeon HD 7970, install the system from scratch. Radeon HD 7970 is now living in the other rig.

My config:
 The motherboard MSI Krait Gaming 3X socket 1151
Intel Pentium Dual-Core G4500
8GB of memory
Swap 32Gb
Radeon SSD
3 X Sapphire RX480 nitro

Launch miner's this line from *.bat file:
ZecMiner64.exe -mport 0 -i 4 -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal <my address> -zpsw x

Miner Version 7.0

I hope for your help, and help the community. Sorry for the English. It is not my native language.

First question - what PSU do You use? Can You change PSU for testing? I dont have much rigs - around 25 - and I have seen that most problems start with bad or noname PSUs.. Now I am using just Corsair, Seasonic, Antec or bequiet! PSUs. And problems went away.. Other hardware is standard ( BTC Pro mobos, G1840 processor, 8GB ram, corsair SSD ).

I use remote manager with no issues.. how's your setup?

usual, no port change, nothing specific 65 ZEC rigs and on every rig the same, I use view miner console and config edit also they work great. On ETH rigs everything working fine

Nicehash isn't a free service. They are paying for bandwidth/resources by the fees.
A public API is going to have costs / overheads.

Claymore wouldn't need an API; the switching would be done locally and you access the APIs from the pools. A local controller app would launch the miner(s) and connect to them via the 'mport' to tell it what pool to use. If all the miners had a benchmark feature as well, it could determine the speed for each algo to base the profit calculations off. This is all that Nicehash do but they lock it to only their pool's API.
