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

[br2459]

Hi!
Ive just created table with hashrate and power consumption for most popular amd videocards, please help me fix it.
PM me or write here if have another value(s) for any card.

Code:

 Model                 Sol/sec   Power

 7950                  285       160

 RX 470 4Gb            299       150    
 RX 480                300       150    
 R9 Fury Nano          450       185    
 R9 Fury X             455       225    
 R9 Fury Nitro         470       250    

My 7970 with Hynix Mem is running about 313H/s but about 225W. Its a modified BIOS but no custom straps.

What do you mean "a modified BIOS but no custom straps."?

I just grabbed a BIOS that would allow me to OC the card past the default max, which was something like 1525MHz on the Memclock. Now I can OC up to 2000MHz on the memclock. I believe this is the BIOS I grabbed for it: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/123523/sapphire-hd7970-3072-120628

It's a Sapphire 7970 non-ghz edition. But I think I flashed it with the Vapor-X bios. Its been running solid for about a month now.

It seems that the memory strip mod for the ZEC mining is not so necessary. For ETH, it is more important.

180w for r9 270  i don't think so it s an 150w gpu so it s more close to 100-110 probably

and 380 it s vary a lot with model and ram, the worse i have is asus 380 4G  it does only 206mh

you using 12.4?  no speed decrease ?
because i tested and 12.4 (172) is slower than 12.1 (179)

Being thus the most profitable in relation to price and watts is RX 470 4Gb ?

[streetworker]

I made a list from the beginning of this thread till now. I collected everything depending on GPU type, H/s and W. Almost all listed cards have modded bios or clocked to best Hash/Watt ratio.
I hope I got everything right and of course everybody is telling the truth

listed in order of efficiency:

7950/280      290-300H/s @ 200W
7970/280X    300-310H/s @ 210W
290/390       395-400H/s @ 260W
290X/390X    400-410H/s @ 260W
Fury/FuryX   450-460H/s @ 275W
RX 470        290-300H/s @ 110W
RX 480        300-310H/s @ 90W
Nano           450-460H/s @ 175W

While Claymore performs best on Windows - the other miner performs best and stable on Linux .....  I was on Windows before but now on Linux and I ain't going back!

Hi guys, would appreciate a little help please.

I remember the early claymore versions were using a lot of cpu power....Just wanted to know if the latest version is using much of the cpu because I want to use a celeron cpu..

Can anyone please confirm that celeron cpus are ok and if yes which ones are ok for 1150?

Also is 4gb ram enough?

Thank you.

Running 2 mobos one with a 1156 i3 and the other with a 1150 celoron. Both with 4 gigs of memory. On the 1150 uses 5% of CPU with 200 meg pages and 3 gig free phisical memory. All under win7, one home the other pro

Thanks so much for the info.....So basically the same..

Does not affect the speed of your GPUs?

What model celeron please?

[QuintLeo]

For reference, my "big rig" triple R9 290 rig uses a Sempron 145 (single-core) CPU.
It sees the same hashrate per card on ETH/ZEC as my dual-290 rig that has a A10 7860K quad-core CPU.

 Neither ETH nor ZEC uses a lot of CPU (unless you're running an ETH older miner that generates the DAG file on the CPU, but even there it's interleaving that usage where it doesn't slow you down after the first startup).


 Folding, on the other hand, needs substantial CPU support.

[QuintLeo]

Whats the hash rate disparity between 8 and 4 GB memory on the 480 cards?

 8 GB RX 470/480 cards almost always have faster RAM (commonly 8000 Mhz effective stuff) than 4GB cards do (commonly 6600 or 7000 Mhz effective).

is there any way to mine with 6 gpus in gigabyte z170x gaming 3 mobo?  5 gpus work fine, but if i attache gpu to 6'th slot then cpu not boot up.

can anyone have idea?


thanks

You might need a PCI-E 1X Jumper Wire. That usually does the trick.

What model celeron please?

I use Celeron G1840 in my rigs and I use Core i3-4160 only in 1 rig. I didn't experience any difference in mining hashrate. Claymore fixed the CPU-usage problem couple of months ago.

So you can use the cheapest Celeron for mining, everyone does that. CPU mining is not worth the investment and also the electricity cost, so you never need better CPU than the G1840.
