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

[Simon_Grape]

I've got 6 8GB RX 480 reference cards in a Windows 7 rig.  All on stock bios.  Getting about 185 per card on v8.  Every time I go into Wattman to change GPU core settings, even just a little bit on 1 card, my computer immediately blue screens.  It does this even after using DDU in safe mode and loading the latest drivers. Anyone having the same issue?  I've tried everything I know, but no matter what I do, it doesn't work.  Any suggestions would be great!

How much RAM do u have in your rig?
Have you increased virtual memory in Windows to help handle the load?

8GB DDR3 1666 RAM and virtual memory is at 16GB for min and max.  Should I buy more RAM or raise virtual memory?

I had the same problem with different cards (XFX 480 cards). Drove me nuts. I loaded windows 10 and solved everything. Runs like a dream.

Yeah, I've got XFX, MSI and Gigabyte in the rig.  I might have to look at upgrading.

You can try using a different BIOS editor like Trix or MSI afterburner too. That might help if you dont have access to win 10.

I've tried WattTool and MSI Afterburner with same results... Although I don't really know how to use WattTool so I may be doing it wrong. Haha!  In WattTool do you just change the last gpu core value or all of them?

All of them

Anyone else spend waaaayyy too much time of their life staring at this screen waiting for these damned confirmations to go through? Worse than watching paint dry!!!

LOL

A few days ago it needed 36 confirmations and you waited all day...it's better now although I don't sell anymore
All signs show that we will not be looking at ZEC below 100$ for much longer...

Do I change the mV as well?

Hello, guys   - I am new in mining and I wanna start with Zcash. I wanna use single GPU to start, and I wanna chose between Radeon RX 480 OR Radeon R9 280 or 290 - I need your advice and ideas.    

Will it be beneficial with single GPU?
And how much H/s I can get with the cards I mention above? (any close idea?)  

thanks

480 will be MUCH more power efficient.  dont get a 280/380.  a 280x/290 will be the best $ per sol/s for now.  390 is like a 290, but better (IMO).  but not better on price.  I'd say get a 480 with civ 6, that would be the best deal for the long run.  check out my site if you need info of all kinds on crypto mining !  Up to you, but keep in mind 280x and 290s werent doing much profit 2 months ago because they are power hungry, but right now they are doing profit.

Thanks fr4nkthetank for your advice - any close idea of speed in H/s (not sols) with single Radeon RX 480?

nice rig of 480s sorry2xs.  for usmras, h/s and sol/s are the same for all intents and purposes.

you mean I need 2 Radeon RX 480 480 GPUs?

Hello Claymore, could you add to monitoring utility host address ability in IP field for the using with DYNdns services.

[Relaqs]

Plug monitor into the card. Or just disable intel gpu (works for win10).

monitor connected, No intel on asrock 970 extreme4.

is that a problem?
after few hours appears incorrect data

this could be due to excessive overclocking or undervolting.

Anyone know which driver works best for RX 480?

I am using the latest from ATI website
Never had a problem

I'm building 2 rigs i bought 6 rx 470's for my first rig should i buy r9 390's for my second rig ? Less used r9 390 second hands with warranty cost like 255-265 dollar in here(these cards used 2 month without oc) and rx 470's cost me 235 dollar. Any tips ?

6x R9 390 will need a 1600w PSU. A side benefit is you can also heat your house with that rig!
PS I have 3 MSI R9 390's I would sell for $250 each through ebay. $225 each if we can find a arbitrator.

[buckrogers]

im sure its been asked before, but what is the fix for starting the bat file and it auto quits immediately?

thanks!

After the v8, both of my r9 280x have died. Be carefull.

not overcklock, not undervolt, there is change bios
did not claymore 5, 6, 7 only 8

I have seven r9 280x, everything works fine, temps are betwen 50 and 60.
I dont belive there is somthing wrong with v8.

I've got 2 more 480's coming in myself...

One seems to be better-binned. Running lower stock voltage and hashing about 20 sol/s faster. Both are PowerColor Red Devils, but I think the first one they sent was actually the factory 1333 Mhz one, since it has the seal of solomon on the back, even though it wasn't marked. Must have been a lucky packaging for me.

Anyway, that first one is getting ~200 sol/s, maybe a bit less on average, and the other is doing 180 Sol/s, but again, that second card is running higher voltage and whatnot, and using more power. So probably a silicon lottery thing.

Any other numbers on RX 480's on Clay's 8.0 release? Just trying to see what everyone is getting.

P.S., it seems claymore says we can get 300 sol/s on a 390, but I'm at about 240 sol/s. Might be because I'm using the newer drivers though, not sure.
