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

[RastMan]

How much sol's i can get from radeon r9 390X 8gb 

For stock, it is about 420.

[coinzoid]

I have a rig with 6 RX 480

What should driver should I use?

Sometimes I mine ethash (ethereum). Sometimes I mine equihash (zcash).

Obviously I can't change driver everytime I switch.

What driver should I use that's best for both?

Where can I download both of your miner? I didn't see windows version of the miner in drive link.

I'm not sure if it works, maybe you can try dual-boot. OS1 when you want to mine ETH that contains 16.11.5 drivers  and another os, when you want to mine ZEC. But gpus will be using same bios, unless they support dual bios like Nitros.

Ok to continue the fury saga.  I've got it mining. But it seems it has some weird issue when paired with any other card.  To top it off if I turn off asm it will mine with the second card and never skips a beat.  Problem is it's about 150 hashes per sec short of asm mode.  I've tried both drivers 15.12 and 16.3.2. Both have the same results. Weird thing is once it locks up and flashes the screen black hashes goto 0 on fury and a reboot will not fix it.  I have to use ddu uninstall the drivers and reinstall and it will mine again.  Asm mode will mine for exactly 7 minutes then crash.  Then I have to repeat the uninstall and reinstall the drivers.  I've tried it in two different mobos with same results.  I finally gave up and left it in by itself to see if it will mine thru the night.  After 1 hour of babysitting it I left. Figure it should continue thru the night. 460 h/s stable when I left.  I really don't understand this at all.  I've tried several versions of claymore miner back down to ver 10. Ver 10 works but what I find is odd with it is it shows the 7970 as algo 2 and the fury using algo 1. No asm in that version.  But when I run ver 12 and up it shows both cards as algo 2.  Uff sucks when ya can't figure out what is the issue. I've spent two whole days now troubleshooting. Anyone have any other trick I can try?  Would be really appreciated.

That is very good. How much is the power usage?

Is the 390X over clocked?

No. Nothing is overclock. No undervoltage. Everything stock

Oh thank you. I will try with 64bit ptr at 0. Ive always set it to 1. I'll give it a go Monday morn. That would be cool if that solves it.

BR

Edit. Changing force 64 bit ptr to 0 causes the card to only hash at half speed.  :/.  Looks like this card will have to mine all by its lonesome. If I can get another fury for 230$. I'll by it some company😜

Thanks for attempting to help me out. I do appreciate it. This one got me stumped

VOTES for v 12.5

Yay! We need more speed! 

More speed is more difficult.

[pornluver]

The best drivers i used without issues is 16.9.2 , i installed it on all of my rigs months ago and updated all rigs except one still running on 16.9.2 and it's the best performing between all rigs no problems at all.

2 people recommend 16.9.2 Claymore  himself claim that 15.12

So that's why I wonder.

16.9 series do not require signature check bypass.

Often, when mining Ethereum claymore would hang after this

Catalyst 15.12 is REQUIRED for best performance and compatibility
At least 16 GB of Virtual Memory is required for multi-GPU systems
Make sure you defined GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Be careful with overclocking, use default clocks for first tests
Press "s" for current statistics, "0".."9" to turn on/off cards, "r" to reload pools

It just stuck there doing nothing. I wonder what the miner is doing at that time?

The RX cards don't work with 15.12. They need newer drivers. So use 16.9.2 for custom BIOS.

[Elder III]

For ZEC at least I would use the 16.12.2 drivers that Claymore recommends in his miner. If you're mining Eth and wish to change and/or edit your bios then you may need to go with 16.9-16.11 drivers.

More speed is more difficult.

Why?

The 12.4 miner is very optimised now. It is not so easy to get more speed out of it.

I havea rig of 7 470s which hang there for a good 60 seconds.

I have another rig of 5 480s and 1 470 which blows through that part.

Yes. But you may try to OC memory. Try memory clock 1501+MHz - will be next stripe. I'm use Asus 280X 1.1V 1100/1600 with modded bios, 17.4.1 driver Windows 10. 330 H/s on miner 12.2. 12.4 is unstable and each 1-1,5 hour hangs.
Default is 1.2V 1070/1600 without bios mod - 300 H/s.

P.S. In driver version 17.4.1 AMD adds wattman compatibility for 200-series cards. It's very useful, much better than Overdrive. But in 17.4.2. they disabled wattman and enabled overdrive again... It's strange... If wattman can work with 200-series cards as in 17.4.1., why disable him in 17.4.2...

[sikkan]

regarding OC a 280. my 280 only responds to core clock. at default 900 mhz it hashes about 250 sols/s and at around 1100 mhz it reaches just above 300. Memory clock have little to none impact.

Maybe your memory is already very fast.

Stock 1200, but able to push to 1600! But no increase in speed

hello,

one question about mining zcash.
i alredy have 2 rigs (sapphires 470 and 480 8gb) and i am mining mostly ehereum.

i will like to build one mlre rig, more specialist for zcash. i will like to know what do i need to look on gpus? for ethereum i was looking more on memory, how is here.
do i need to buy 8gb or i can get 4 gb for the same hashing power? i know that nvidia is better, but it is also more expensive.

any advice very welcome. thanks.
