Can anyone explain me what "Compute units" are? They seem to be different on my 2 cards? I believe it depends on the GPU manufacturer?

After updating to v.9.x versions, my graphics card started acting weird. First, I got black screen after some mining and my fans went to 100%. Restarted, my comp opened normally but now i get random black screens during gaming, surfing etc. Anybody had this too ? I have r9 290 sapphire tri-x oc card.

Hello guys, can anyone tell me current hashrates with rx 470 and r9 390?  thx

470 4gb (1300/1800)  208sol
390 (1100/1500) 313sol

9.3

me crash with -i 1 - 6
idk what happen, after sleep try to reinstall ati for that cpu

only crashing with stock rx480 8go nitro stock , seem better with mod bios

any link for that mod bios sir ?

I have a asus 390 and only getting 280 in win 10 15.12 drivers what drivers are u using thank you

[FFI2013]

What is the proper way to set -di for temp control when I used -di detect to get gpu order it still didn't had the temp and fan speed correct with the gpus I can tell because on this rig I have 270,280,290,390

[Le_Bleu]

Thanks claymore...
320 sols on 290x stock and
290 sols on 290 stock  

Hello, I'm only getting 270 sols on sapphire R9 290X Tri-X 4GB stock. How can i get more?
Config :
Win10
Driver 16.10.1 WHQL ( i have some RX470).
I have setx requires variables

 "Compute Units" is an AMD marketing thing where they tried to count CPU cores and clusters of GPU cores as being equal for marketing purposes.
 It gets REAL irritating on their A10 series APUs.

 For a GPU, a "Compute Unit" = 64 "cores", so one of your Tahiti cards is a "X" the other is a non "X" - 280x vs 280 or 380x vs 380.

Honestly im thinking we have got all what we need for rx series. Just bkz of 256 bit band. Any empruvement is only cards with 386 bit ram band.

I agree with that. The R9 390 has 512 memory bit, so it is faster.

May be. Nvidia 1070 has much less cores (1920) and Memory Bandwidth (GB / sec) 256 but fast hashed than R9 390X,R9 390 and RX480. My EVGA nVIDIA GTX 1070 hashed 430 sol/s .

 Can't compare cores on NVidia to cores on AMD - the NVidia cores DO a lot more per core than AMD ones do - but for MOST cryptocoin mining work most of that "extra capability" is wasted.

 There's a REASON the 1070 blows anything AMD completely out of the water on Folding@Home work despite having fewer cores than many AMD cards - and the 1080 and Titans do so by an even wider margin.

 On the other hand, even mid-upper-range AMD cards can blow anything NVidia out of the water on DNet work (which IS compute-bound cryptographic work and directly comparable to many of the older Cryptocoin algorythms like SHA256 and Scrypt in how it works).

Hi guys.
How to set up main pool and backup pool so if main pool has connection problems its connects to another one and then goes back to main pool again?

Also i had many times issue when miner just hangs doing nothing... any chance to configure it to restart when it happens?
I had it at set up -r 60 but i dont really like it restarting every 60 minutes. I would like the miner to restart when it just hangs...

Look at the epools.txt you can set pools there..

Yup even a lowly GTX 1060 3GB, slaps an RX  480 8GB around with ZEC mining by almost 20sol/s.
Cryptonote and Dagger-Hashimoto are a different matter entirely.

I posted this in the sgminer thread as well but didn't get a response:

Hello all.  I recently did an xmr test run with sgminer-gm on a 5 rx470 rig, win7, 16.9.2, and everything works fine.  When I switch back to wolf (xmr) or claymore (zcash), those miners no longer have control over fan speed.  I also cannot use watttool or amd settings to control fan speeds.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I did a clean driver removal and reinstall but the fan speeds are still locked at the previous setting when I first ran sgminer-gm.  Help would be greatly appreciated. 

edit: I added auto-fan and temp-target to the conf file instead of a static fan speed and now it seems okay.

update: After switching back to claymore zec miner, there is still no fan control and the speeds are strange.  The speeds are stuck at 40,40,65,65,50.  Seems really odd.

update 1/1/2017:  If I set the fan to a static speed on sgminer before opening claymore, the fans have a minimum speed from my sgminer config file, but claymore's miner and other utilities cannot modify the fan speed. 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to re-enable fan control with mining software besides sgminer?

on AMD Settings keep the fan in auto and set the target temp and max temp. Even if the card crashes it will still maintain the temps on reboot.

AMD settings app no longer controls the fan settings.  I can change the target and max and click "apply" but the fan speeds are still stuck. 

Another interesting observation:  I reinstalled the cards one by one and it seems closer to normal now. Claymore's miner seems to be controlling the fan speeds if I watch them in GPU-Z, but the readout in the miner software shows incorrect fan speeds.  It still holds the target temperature but the readout in the miner for fan speed does not match the GPU-Z fan speed.

the 9.3 changed NOTHING on my cards. old or newest...

Are you closing sgminer or any of the other miners that you are switching from/ to?  Usually only one program can control the API at a time.

[golden0707]

So, any reason to move from working 9.2 on rx 470s and 280xs?

No reason

No reason to upgrade!

Thaks to all for the answers. Staying on 9.2. One week solid mining without crash.
