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

[Etherion]

@claymore I get a. Message that my RX480 4Gb does not have enough memory and that the intensity is reduced to 7. So no improvement in speed.

Windows 10 driver 16.12.2

Cant seem to be able to install any other driver such as 16.11.3 or before

i think 16.12.2 does something where you can't go back... I've had the same thing happen.  Once i installed 16.12.2, i wasn't able to go back to install anything else after that.  DDU didn't work completely, i couldn't install anything else be 16.12.2 again.

I tried AMD clean uninstaller but that did not help. tried everything short of reinstalling windows 10

I see my Pro Duo that has two Fiji's are running with 16.3.2. cV11.1 Thay got 4GB ram and running on i 8 at +420 sol/s per GPU with no overclocking.

I hope @claymore give the RX480 4Gb some love. But 242 Sol/s is not bad

On 280x speed increase is negligible but power consumption increased 15w

[malandante]

Ok, I know I'm a few days late but I finally have the numbers for the Sapphire Fury Nitros I promised last Thursday/Friday.  I was dragging my feet after Claymore hinted that v11.1 would include compatibility for asm with the 16.11.3 driver set.  I busied myself tweaking my eco rom for 16.11.3 which appears to have been wasted effort.  The implication being that I am unsatisfied with the performance of the "eco" rom, but will post the data with the caveat that I strongly believe there is room for improvement (and will work on further tweaks this week).

Disclaimer: This rig has several components that are overkill.  I have plenty of 'computer crap' collecting dust so I don't hesitate to grab things that work.  I guess I'm pleading that I don't have to waste time responding to posts about how i5s are stupid and/or PSU density is a waste of money.

RESULTS

Bone Stock
1050/500



Hashrate: 2,503 H/s
Power: 1,657 W at the wall.

Analysis: Each card is drawing 271.33 W from the wall and producing 417.16 H/s.  The system is drawing a measly 30 W (the Noctuas are basically just idling).

H/W = 1.54
H/$ = 1.53


"Eco" Rom Installed
900/400 with -171mV & 50% PL



Hashrate: 2,025 H/s
Power: 885 W at the wall.

Analysis: Each card is drawing 142 W from the wall and producing 337.5 H/s.  The system is drawing 33 W.

H/W = 2.38
H/$ = 1.24

Summary: The goal is to crank the wattage down to 100 W at the PSU resulting in ~110 W at the wall.  To accomplish this I need to shave another 30 W per card, which appears doable.  The sticker is that I would like to keep it at or above 1,800 H/s in pursuit of a H/W ratio of 3.  If anyone has a Fury rom they wouldn't mind sharing I would be greatly appreciative.  Likewise, I am willing to share what I've been working on (more work to come).

What is the maximum that you can undervolt with stock clocks 1050/500? It's interesting to know the difference in consumption not only between stock and underclock + undervolt, but specially between stock undervolt and underclock + undervolt.

Also I have been having some problems when undervolting with msi afterburner. Cards crash with BSOD if I undervolt them cold. If I undervolt them when they are already hot, they tolerate it. Did anything of this happen to you as well?

For me v11.1 started making a lot of invalid shares for 0 card which is Rx480 8g.
I use 16.10.3 drivers and in new version it is recommended to use 16.12.2. Will have to check whether drivers upgrade gonna resolve this issue.

Great WORK!!!

Hi adaseb, could please share what settings are you using for getting such high hash. I am only getting 250-260 on my 280x.
Thanks

[espressodelisi]

v11.1:

- improved speed, about 365H/s on stock 390X, 385H/s on stock Nano, 260H/s on stock 280X, 260H/s on stock RX480.
- improved compatibility.
- some bug fixes and minor improvements.

NOTES:
1. It seems there is no way to get full speed on latest drivers for Fiji and Polaris cards, at least in Windows. So don't use latest drivers for Fury, use 15.12 or 16.3.2. Since old drivers don't support Polaris, there is no way to get full speed for these cards at all, at least in Windows.
2. Tonga - currently I cannot get enough speedup from assembler for this card so I did not include assembler kernel for this card.

Still no linux build?

[Gaglam]

And maybe you could share how much power (watt) it needs with v11.1?

Could you please give me a hint to keep it running for long time? Thank you.

I'm too lazy to turn off the rig and plug in the KillAWatt meter since there is a new version almost every week. Either way it uses alot of power. I think with version 8.0 or 9.0 it used 1 H/S = 1 Watt. The GPUs were also slightly undervolted.

Pretty sure its much higher now.
