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

[Claymore]

v12.2:

- fixed issue with "-ttli" option.
- improved "-mport" option, now you can specify network adapter IP for incoming connections for remote management.
- added "-old 1" option, try to use it if v12.0 works stable for you, but v12.1 is unstable.

@ Claymore: Can you please change that hard visible purple line to orange or yellow or whatever?
Many of us use old bad lcd's that purple is unreadable. This for your dual miner I need, but posted here, sry

In v12.2 use "-colors 4" to use four colors only (gpu temp stats is 5th). I will add same to dual miner in next update.

On 12.0, .1, .2 running 5x280x with virtual memory of 56.6gb I'm getting
         GPU #3 is going to use too high intensity (6), not enough memory, intensity value reduced (5)
when I set just one card to -i 6 also happens with -old 1

AFAIK this behavior is related to the available amount of GPU memory which limits possible intensity levels. Main/virtual mem should not be your problem here, if I am not totally wrong. Claymore stated that the memory requirements for the newer, faster kernels are higher.

On my 280X all 12.x versions maximum 5 intensity...
On 12.1 with -i 5 - 2672Mb memory is used on 280X. On 270X with 4Gb and -i 6 3+Gb used. Therefore on 280X realy not enough memory to run over 5th intensity...

Correct me if I'm wrong... there is no speed increase in v12.1 or v12.2, right?

Or should I shift my rigs to the new version? Till now, I've been sticking with v12, and its all going smoothly.

There is no speed difference between 12.2 and 12.1.

Using R9 280X with modded bios and some overclocked GPU. v12 works fine. Tested over 2-3 days working without issuies.

With v12.1 only 1st intensity is most stable. With any other intensity miner after about 10 min starts to show 0 hashrates and 0% GPU load.
With 1st intensity miner works normal 20-30 min and then speed is 0 too. Miner restarts and so on.

Returning back to v12. It's stable for me.

Windows 10 Pro.
Tryed 15.12 drivers, disable overclocking. Nothing helps.
Any other miners works fine. PSU 60-70% load.

After some couple of days testing, i find 16.3.2 drivers performs better in terms of stability than 15.12,
on all my 7970/280x/380/390 rigs...
And it happens on v12.0 and v12.1 miner ... (got some strange instability with 280x rigs, and tried 16.3.2,
everything works perfect so far).

Thanks! I'll try 16.3.2.

P.S. Are you tried other WHQL versions like 16.12.2, 16.9.2, 16.7.3?

im using 16.10.2, and its fine, tried 16.12.2 and no success....

Just installed 16.3.2 testing 12.1 in progress...
On 16.10.2 7970/280x/380/390 rigs works without hangs?

EDIT: After 13 minutes of mining on 16.3.2 + v12.1 with maximum intensity GPU0 hangs (280X). Try to lowing intesity by one step.
Interesting that 270X works stable on any driver and max.intensity with 12.1...

EDIT2: Intensity 4 couses hangs 280X so as 5... Trying 3...

EDIT3: Intensity 3 also hangs 280X... Trying 2... I have feeling that low intensity hangs more quickly... 5 - 13 min. 4 and 3 - less than 5 min. Or it's random...

EDIT4: Even Intensity 1 and 2 causes 280X to hang... I think it's no a driver problem...

Ramp up voltage on that card a bit up ... see what will happen, it should work normal with -i 5

Also, take off the extender cables, clean contacts on both card and small board that goes in motherboard. Re-test.

and ... last but not least - you mentioned "modded" 280x ? Which way it was modded ? You flashed some modded bios,
that you found on this forum (bad idea), or you manually modded lower straps into higher ones ?
also, what is the card manufacturer / exact model ?

anyone have good settings for and msi twin frozer rx 470 8gb
windows 7

If you mean clock/voltages ... gpu 1200-1233 , ram 1750, voltage, depending on asic quality from -80 to -96, memory straps from 1500MHz.

After I moved one (Sapphire) of my 2 cards from "normal" pcie x16 slot to riser I get 15 H/s less on average on that card.

Also I switched my monitor from Sapphire to MSI.

Second card (MSI) which was always on riser stayed the same.

I have those blue usb 3 risers, could this be an riser issue? Or something else?

(v12.1, 15.12, oc settings same as before)

Of course, whan card is in slot, and working at higher PCI-E ratio/generation, cpu-to-gpu latency is lower, and thats why you see a bit higher speed.

If you read next my posts, you will see that i found problem - it was in ttli option. It was bug in 12.1 version - when miner must to low intensity on achieving ttli temperature it causes GPU to hang and restarting.

In 12.2 all working normal as must.

P.S. I don't use modedd bios maked somebody. I maked it myself using my original ASUS Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II TOP (R9280X-DC2T-3GD5) bios.

Does anyone have a link to good reliable risers it seem 9 out 10 are crap

[Corerj]

Claymore could you set -i 3 default for 280x?

[markus124]

Thanks for the update. Let's see if everything works fine now.

[Corerj]

Just change it to -i 3 yourself. Claymore isn't responsible for sorting out your problems...

lol....already doing it smart guy...just giving an ideia or option to set intensity by the type of card, since mixed rig suffer after the reboot, because of the change of the order....but your ideia is very good to decrease the claymore profits...

Claymore's Dual Miner Remote Monitor Android App can be used without wifi?

Why -i3? My 280X with modded bios works fine on -i 5...

i saw at least two people with the same problem of stability with 280x...but my idea is an option of setting intensity by the type of the vga, not the order,since that changes after every reboot...

I may have some extras I would sell

[bitcoinsay]

How much speed increase has happened?Thanks for the update.
