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

[shadabahmed]

All my rigs are running RX 480 8GB Cards - Mixed brands - Power Color, Sapphire, Asus Strix and XFX (all stock bios)- all running stable for 28 hrs now on v9. Average hashrate - 225 h/s per card. The Asus Strix cards seem to have the best hash rate on v9 (about 230 h/s). All rigs running Celeron Procs at about 10% with -i 8. Intensity settings don't seem to have any effect at all for me (0 to 8 makes no difference). Power usage rose about 6% average but gained roughly 20% hash rate from v8. Kudo's to Claymore. I'm not seeing any of these power spikes everyone is talking about but all i have is a meter at the wall.

what is "-i 8" ? n how to use it
 i have 4 rx 470 and 1 280X

i am using this code
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1YZMnyXStuGKykkFxM6Lh8DTVJdTMx6R51.YourWorkerName -zpsw x

Use:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1YZMnyXStuGKykkFxM6Lh8DTVJdTMx6R51.YourWorkerName -zpsw x -i 8

-i 8 doesn't have to be 8. It can be anything between 1 and 8. 8 is just the most intense.

ok if i want to use -i8 for 4X rx 470 cards and -i6 for 2X 280x cards what will be the code?

Put -i 8,8,8,8,8,8  <-----------for six cards. Claymore will adjust the intensity to suit each card. Let's say you have an RX 480, a 470, a 390, and three 280x, after Claymore adjusts you can change the -i value for each card and it might look something like this...... -i 8,8,8,6,6,6

Which is more profitable now ZEC or ETH.?

ETH has been more profitable for a while now

-i can be 0.....

after thorough analysis. here is my analitical and objective conclusion:

v8 rocks
v9 piece of shit.

funniest comment ever.

and soo true.

I have 6x 480RX, mining ZEC is Ok. As soon as I start mining ETH or ETC - in some period of time it hangs. Why? (Then I need to restart the miner or the comp.)
Could you please help me?

More info required. What PSU are you using? What are your memclock, gpuclock, and voltage settings? What is your commandline?

I had before -mclock 2150. With 2100 - the same.
PSU - ? What is it? (sorry)

v9 on rx400  +5% power consumption, +15% hashrate

I'm getting 6-9% diff max here on the RX 480's.
+25-35S/s.

PSU=power supply unit. Reset all your clocks etc. back to default, get it working stable, then adjust. You didn't say if you are using a modded vbios which makes a difference and I forgot to ask. My first suspicion is your PSU isn't powerful enough. ETH algo uses more power than ZEC algo.

Just for starters you can add a few things to your commandline:  (note: first I would try -r 0 which will just restart the miner. If you use -r 1 it will reboot the rig using the reboot.bat)

EthDcrMiner64.exe -wd 1 -r 0 -epool etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999 -ewal... -epsw x

And add another .bat in the Claymore folder named something like reboot.bat if you set -r 1:

Code:

shutdown /r /t 5 /f

Why is that true?

ETH has been more profitable for a while now

 Depends on the rig and your electric cost.
 You have to crunch YOUR OWN numbers - in my case, some of my cards are more profitable on ZEC most are more profitable on ETH the last week.

 The lower end cards have to do ZEC 'cause they can't do ETH any more (my HD 7750s never could do ETH with 1 GB ram).

[QuintLeo]

There are new drivers, called Radeon ReLive. Anyone tested it with Claymore?

 I lose 1-2% on hashrate vs 15.12 with the win7-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-16.12.1-dec7 drivers under Win7 on my HD7870 I tested them on.

 They might work better on newer cards - AMD doesn't seem to test their new drivers on anything older than the R9 3xx series since 15.12 or so.

Well, I can say, they haven't tested it on R9 3xx series, at least not on the 380... It's a mess.

I need advice about pool, at the moment we are mining on coinmine.pl, all online calculators are saying that I should get 6.6 zec a day, but I got only half of it, I'm aware that this is the mater of many factors, but I know that something is wrong, your advice would be much appreciated

And add another .bat in the Claymore folder named something like reboot.bat if you set -r 1:

Code:

shutdown /r /t 5 /f

I tried -wd 1, -r 0 before - the same. It is default value. At this moment I do not set these parameters.
How to reset all clocks back to default? Where should I look?
PSU - what kind of data should I inform?
With -r 1  is interesting. But the problem is when the miner starts (after rebooting), the very first time it gives 170mhs, then I must restart the miner and it gives 181 mhs. So if I use -r 1, and the system reboots, I'll have only 170 mhs.
Can it be because of GPU driver. I have 16.11.4
