I would like to ask if is someone using the new RX5xx cards and what are the hashing rates.

I'm running (5) 480s and (1) 580 and getting around 40 s/s. The 580 isn't much better than the 480 as it's around 6 s/s. I will note 2 of my 480s are 4GB cards, so I'm forced to run the 4GB miner program not the 8gb.

On another note, has anyone gotten the Windows wallet to work? I'm having some difficulty getting it up and running both CLI and GUI..

I am thinking about buy only the 8gb version. I hope there will be windows wallet soon. I would like to have some coins at my wallet and not only at pool/exchange.

In case you're interested GPU5 is the 580 which is strapped and overclocked. The rig does around 182 MH/s on Ethash algo. The hashrate here has been jumping all over the place.

with those hashrates I would recommend only running on 8gb cards, unless you can move your 4gb models to another rig. you should get over 36 with 4 cards and it will cost less in electricity, etc. I think you might be able to launch a second instance for the 4gb cards but that may take up more system resources, simply use the -i and -d flags to list your devices so that you dont use all of them in the same miner.

Yes that is true, I was playing around with both 8gb and 4gb models and if you run both the miners at once it slows both hash rates. So it is better to have two rigs, one 8gb and second 4gb.

Can you elaborate on specifying devices? I was trying "-d 0124" -"-d 0,1,2,4" none of which worked.. Thanks!

Yeah, I think it goes like -i 1 - i 1 -i 1 (etc.) then to list the devices individually like -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 and so on. the -i is for intesity, only 1 seems to work and the miner will automatically detect it, but, i feel like i had stability issues without it.

Thanks for the information here. In logic everything worked, but I kept getting crashes on the 8Gbs due to overclocking. I need to do some additional testing, but for now I'm just running my 4GBs on zero and the 8GBs on eth.

Edit: Triple Mining (ETH, ZER, SC). Quadruple if you count STORJ

Hi, I use this setting: optiminer -s %POOL% -u %USER% -p %PASSWORD% -m 4040 -i 1 -c 0 -d 1 -d 2 as is stated above. But as I already wrote, using 8gb version together with 4gb is slowing the mining down, better to have two rigs, one for each version.

[AKRO]

also, triple mining might take up more system resources, especially when it comes to pagefile, I wouldn't recommend mining on a hard drive that is being used for STORJ.
10k rpm does nothing as far as performance, but then again my 10k only has 512kb boot sector and like 16mb cache. I would have thought the sequential speeds would give it
an edge, since you wouldn't want to use an SSD for something like this unless you plan on buying a new one in a month. so the lack of an increase in performance may not be because 10k isn't better, but just the secondary specs fall behind a bit, still helps with system stability and takes the load off my main drive so I can still use my PC for just about anything so long as I disable a GPU in the miner, with no stutters or crashes.

Hello.. how to mine? what pool? im trying using suprnova and i cant, only reject shares ever

[Minator1]

I CANT MINE

iM using Claymore for Zcash

BAT:

setx GPU_FORCE_64IT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
SET GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT = 100
ZecMiner64.exe stratum+tcp://zero.suprnova.cc:6568 -zwal workerID.worker -zpsw x -allpools 1

I have only Reject Shares...

(2) 570 MSI GAMING + (1) 580 MSI GAMING + (1) 470 Sapphire Nitro
4GB RAM
FX 6100

Anyone can help me, please!

Wrong miner, if you would have read the whole thread, you would have had the right miner: Optminer-zero-win. Zcash miner does not work here..

[The Cryptophilanthropist]

Optiminer crashing with 1070 8gb cards, plenty of ram and virtual ram , occurs after about 15-20 mins.

Any cause or solutions??

Thanks I have read through a second time and am missing the answer I believe   Virtual mem is set 24-32 with 3 cards , perhaps a hint ? Thank again!

Hi, I think this can help:

If you get CL_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST this means the GPU driver failed to allocate memory for mining.
I increased to 32 Gb. I have --watchdog-timeout 15 --watchdog-cmd 1 and now it's 6 hours still. I was 1350/2200 overclock.
On page 28 someone had similar problem.

Thanx bro, best regars

[michaelangelo]

Hello friends, there is only one possible way, under Windows is the Zero Miner not really suitable, I have many days to healthy to solve the problem,

A) Ubuntu Linux 16.04
B) Nvidia driver
C) no more problems

On Windows, it seems to be a driver problem because the virtual memory is practically useless.


best regards

Thx for that, i have trying to set my miner with nvidia gtx 1060 and win 7, but could not make it to mine...

Its probably no other way to change to linux i think.

I didnt work with linux until now, but i gues i will need to start that, as win sux.

What is your config and what miner do you use?

Thx

[optiminer]

I think ZERO needs a second mining pool!

Therefore I offer the following bounty:

200 ZEROs to the operator of the first PPLNS mining pool that attracts a hash power of at least 1000H/s.

Is 1080ti have some problem? too slow....

[matejbilahora]

Well Nvidia cards are not somehow good for mining. 1080TI has the same hash rate as AMD RX480 more than double the price..

[michaelangelo]

Zero is very difficult to mine if you ask me, because it also require cpu power and pc act very slow.

But its good, as its hard earned coin and after time that will also see in price go up...

I have also tryed to mine with GTX 1070 gpu but havent managed to work so i switch to
radeon cards, which mine great.

This tread need some life, as its not very active if you ask me, common  people

Yes this is hard earned money. There is work going on with website which I hope will come soon.

No problems on my 1070's in Windows. Just run each card separately. Exampl, 2 cards, 2 command windows.
-d 0
-d 1

[michaelangelo]

I have just one GTX 1070 and couldnt make it to mine.

Have trying all, but still didnt work and ended mining something other, that i could mine.

With AMD gpu you can setup and mine without any problem.

Im worry about price it is not going anywhere keeps bouncing here around 15-17 on crpytopia...
