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

[benthach]

is claymore's v12.5 work with rx570 and rx580, yet? it say nothing on OP about rx5 cards and a few posts said it is not stable.

Still in love with my R9 Fury.
430H/s for 130W
I was thinking to change them... But I can't find better now

Is this backed by watt meter?
Sounds a bit too good for me, more like 1070 values.

Yep A lot of person was scpetical about R9 Fury.
But the GPU is really great and backed with a fu.cking fast mem ! And the best thing is that I bought them on discount for 240€ each.

The key, is the undervolting (-96 mV with AfterBurner) and reducing the max tdp (mine are -48% on Zcash for 410-430 H/s depending of the card, and something like 26 MH/s on ETH with those setting).
Back in the days, I made a video for a guy who don't want to believe in my results : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y86VLJirwN8
I was with Claymore 7 so the perf is less than the 400+ H/s from now. I'll try to record a new one.
But you can see the kill-o-watt meter + the second rig offline (no power draw) + the 5 Fury rig running

The Fury are really good, the only bad thing it's that they are huge and require 2x8pin PCI-E so you have to have a good PSU with a lot of cables.
That is why I was thinking about a card reseller and go for a new one ... but It seems that for now, it's the best.

I'll wait VEGA and the GTX 1170 to see

That is even better than my R9 nano.

I am like 95% sure those cards needed a lot less power with CM7 than they need now.
I am running a -96 mV undervolt which gives me 455@200W.

I have reduced the TDP as you suggested but neither hashrate nor the power draw changed. Still at 200W.

Reduced core to 1000 (I usually run 1050).
Hashrate dropped to 435. Power dropped to 170W.
I can see that card lowered core voltage by 0.05V with this move, pretty cool didnt know it can do that.

I think your furies are drawing near 170W right now as well
Still thats an interesting setup, -20h/s for 30W, not bad, thanks for the tip.

@ th00ber and fredeq

What do you guys think about the PRO DUO card at $580 for ZEC? It's basically two Nanos in a single package. Is it a viable option?

[dragonmike]

Could it be that tight memory strap mods used for ETH mining are not working for ZCash?
Quickly tried to use Claymore Zcash miner on my RX570 mining farm for the lulz... and everything crashed within seconds. What's the catch? Or do I just have to lower intensity?

EDIT: same thing happens if I try Optiminer. After a few seconds of mining, miner freezes, PC reboots.

Any ideas on this?

[vi1son]

Its make sense buy 580 or better 480?

[Vann]

Its make sense buy 580 or better 480?

Whichever you can find. 480 is cheaper and easier to setup on Windows with 6+ GPU. Hash is almost the same, but the 580 uses more power. While there has been recent availability of 580's, the 480's are all but gone.

Nope, power is limited
They consume the same than with cm7
I'll post a New video

No idea how this is possible.
Reducing TDP does nothing for my fury.
Whats your core voltage from gpu-z?

Ok, thanks. Trying find some 480 so

+1 on the Fury's. I have about the same results with the two in my rig. I wish they were still available (or had the $$ to buy more when they were on sale with a rebate!)

I just pulled the trigger on a 580 card. Should be here early next week. I'm a bit nervous because I have read in the forms that 580's don't like to play well with Win 7, Catalyst 5.12, and Claymore. I have two slots open on my OLD OLD Intel Core-Duo MB so I would like to use the 580 in the same rig as my 2 fury's and one r9 290 (which hash out 1150 drawing 600-610w at the wall with basically the setting described above). I also do not want to spend $$ to set-up a second rig. 

Anyone have any advice on the set-up? Can it be done?

I loved the version 12.5 . It works very stable.

846W for 6 cards.
Let's round to 790W to remove CPU/Mobo/RAM
Now remove PSU efficiency (8% for my platinium)
732W / 6 = 122W per card for 400-430 H/s

Did you replace the power cables and the USB cable going to the riser as well?  most of my 'riser fails' have been actually due to those 2 cables and the riser is actually fine.

 More like 1070 numbers - 1080 should be able to do somewhat more hashrate than 430.

 Still not bad for a generation-old card you can't hardly find any more since it's been out of production for quite a while.

 Makes me wonder what the Vega cards are going to manage.
