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

[GH]

No idea what the people who have problems do different, but both ZEC miners (Opti and CM) are running stable. I can not really remember when one of these miners crashed (with quite some overclock and on more than a few rigs/GPUs). ETH (especially dual) and XMR are another story, at least for me. And I am talking about Windows...

I have 2 rigs with no overclocks, on both I get 1 card hanging on optiminer. Nice to get almost almost 350 sols more, but I don't need to check if CM 11.1 give problems, I know it's OK. With only 9 cards running I can't afford to leave cards hanging, so opti not working for me and I'm not the only one with this issue. Will use it if miner can run all my cards for days not hours.

As the results (hash rate) with Opti are different compared to CM, for sure it puts another type of load of the GPUs (even if the average wattage is not that different -  I did not check it because I have no reason to do so). Maybe you are also hitting some limits? Many people are much too tight with their design/dimensioning, especially of PSUs, cooling and so on (I don't say YOU did it wrong ). I remember that in the past some even experienced problems just with newer releases of the same miner (especially with CM ETH dual) which delivered higher output but was also more demanding on the hardware. That's one of the reasons why I always recommend enough reserve - and it seems to be the right way.

Damn it, I find new assembler tricks every day. I want to use them all, this causes new delays again and again. All these things take too much time.
Right now I can release an update with speedup for Hawaii cards but I had no time to add new tricks to other cards, I need a couple days for that. So no update today

[golden0707]

Hawaii is more than nothing

[LiOoO]

True, Hawaii is better than nothing!
And you will test for stability new algo before optimizing miner for other cards 

You can make it V11.9 with speedup only for Hawaii, and V12 to be with speedup for all cards, for example...

Nothing wrong with that, we'll wait a couple of days. The main thing that you are doing your job consistently and as always excellent.

My 390s waiting to stretch her legs.... if you release for Hawaii now... then no pressure for you to complete the remaining portions

just release it!!

[elzium]

Alpha version would be welcome. Let it be half ready with no support.

Claymore, the magician   We shall wait patiently.  Are the speedups better than Optiminer so far ?

What's the expected hashrate of hawaii?i wonder how much increase .

Well on Optiminer I get almost 400, although they are overclocked a bit.  I hope claymore can top that

[marvykkio]

it would be appropriate to speed up the RX 400 range, try to bring over 300

 

[Etherion]

take your time and release a good one. using Op1.6.1 now so happy for now but will switch when C12 ois out

Have you tested any new drivers? Would be nice to be able to just run the 17.x drivers across all cards to uniform rigs. Perhaps someone else here has some info statistics for 200/300/400 series cards using latest AMD Drivers? (this 15.12, 16.3 etc. driver mixing is driving me bonkers!)

If we did that though I don't think we would be able to mod the bios because AMD disabled bios editing in 16.12.1
Correct me if i'm wrong though.

You can always put 2 DLL's in miner folder.

It may not always help. Haven't tried with CM this trick, but opti failed to detect OpenCL devices with 15.12 dll-s while installed driver was 17.x

Depend, ofc you cannot put 15.12 if you are on RX.

It was 370, not RX. Works fine with installed 15.12, but not with dll trick.

I am using 17.1.2 with 290X and performance is the same as 16.11.3 and 16.8.2.

Hi,

I have 2 GPU's (rx480) in a system.
Yesterday it just rebooted and since then I get only the GPU temperature en fanspeed of GPU0.
I do not get to see the temperature and fanspeed of GPU1

What's wrong with this setup?
How to fix it?

regards,
Eric
