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

my sapphire rx 480 8gb reference just runs @251

is flypool down?

[Alehandros]

12.4 has made 1 of my 5 rigs less stable than before, I was on a 300+ hour running streak before the upgrade too!

Nope flypool is rock solid

Also claymore 12.4 is solid for me since it came out

[Alehandros]

Yeah I'm not blaming 12.4, sometimes just disturbing a rig can have affects

Ran this version when it was released. 30 seconds later, instant freeze. Had to yank on the power cord and do a hard reset. Went back to 12.3

The EU server is working well.

THE SAME! But after every 30 minutes

What do you guys think is the best all around card for mining zec but also a little Eth every now and again I'm trying to add something to my 290/390 set up and get ride of my 270s

Is it normal for the wattage to slowly increase the longer you run the miners. And is it normal for the wattage to go up and down in a range and not a constant rate. This happens on all algos but for ZEC it will start around 540 watts go between say 580 and 540 then range will slowly will go over 600 watts. My PSU is 600w EVGA bronze which  I is why I'm concerned. Is this normal or is there something wrong. Also is 550 to 600 watts normal for 3 470's, seems high.

i heard the 470s run at around 90 watts each. What CPU do you have? take one card out and measure again. The difference is what the card is using. High end CPUs may run at over 200 watts

The CPU is amd fx 6200, it is rated as 125w.  I was figuring 100 for each GPU and 125 for CPU should be 425 but it runs close to 600.

Guys I have a chance to buy a few rx470 8gb cards for just under $200 but I just found out that the new rx500 cards should be here next month.

Want to get some feedback from you guys on what you would do? Would you buy the 470s or wait for the new rx500 cards to check the speed?

Thanks

There is always going to be something new coming out.. the big thing, regardless of what the 500's may or may not do. when they are released the 400's will have a price drop.

Of course there will always be something new, I am just talking about the bandwidth that claymore was talking about....I think these new cards have double the bandwidth which could mean double the speed.

Just wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on this?

rumors claim the 580 8g reference card will be $199. Just wait a couple of weeks, The 480's will certain drop to the mid $100's. They are already all on sale at newegg

The rx5xx cards will not have double the speed. They are a rebranding of the rx4xx cards with trivial improvements using the same Polaris chips. The cards that are likely to have large speed improvements are the Vega cards, which is a totally different chip/architecture. BUT the Vega cards are unlikely to even be usable for mining for days/weeks since mining software will have to be developed for them. 

[snakey]

Ok thats where I was confused....580 8g will be similar to the current cards but the vega cards are the ones to watch out for..

To be honest I was actually talking about the vega cards, I was wondering if I should wait on those cards.

If your saying the vega cards need time for the mining software to be developed then it might be worth grabbing a few 470s before they go out of stock.

on the ROI front just go with the fury. The Vega will be be in the 500/600 range and probably not much faster then the fury, although using less power. With the fury at $249 will take several years before the $350 in energy savings kicks in. The low energy Nano is still at $576. Maybe it will drop big as the vega release date approaches.

I expect the Vega cards to be significantly higher priced, much as the Fury and Nano cards were higher. Probably close to double the cost of a 5xx card. From what I can see, the smart money is on waiting until the 5xx cards are released, which will reduced the price of 4xx cards..........but the performance difference in mining will likely mean the 4xx overall ROI and earnings will make them the best choice. It all comes down to price per hash.

Electricity cost for me is expensive, most cards are over 200w but the 470 are around 150 from what most have posted here.

Anyone know the speed of the GTX 1080 cards? Vega cards are meant to be competing with that card but most are saying the vega should get 30 - 50% better speeds.

I guess if the speeds are not going to double the current cards then I might as well stick with the 470s since they are the lowest watt cards I can get.
