Hello.
I often saw some loosely related, more specific discussions on that topic. There people were sharing their memory timing straps for several specific models, or asking why it does not work, or even how to unbrick, and so on. But i've failed to find an answer on how to produce these straps by your own idea, and not by copying 1750th to 2000th and/or just lowering random values and hope on a luck.
Here are some good tools and posts, that could act as a starting point:
But no one and nowhere had concluded so far, what timings exactly affects various miners performance, and never wondered why.
For the case, lets stick with claymore eth, then zec and xmr miners (two latter seems to be not quite affected by timing patches in that much sense as ETH, or even require different patters).
I am discussing primarily RX4xx, RX5xx series cards, But information about older/newer models is also welcome.
Almost all my cards are RX480 with samsung memory, giving ~30MH on Ether. My "straps of luck" were copied by random search and are as follows:
- 2000mhz: 777000000000000022CC1C00AD615C41C0590E152ECC8608006007000B031420FA8900A00300000 010122F3F88354019
- 2200mhz: 777000000000000022CC1C00106A6D4DD0571017B90D060C006AE70014051420FA8900A00300000 01B11333DC0303A17
That is just for an exapmle. But my cards are not exactly subject of the topic and i want to find some theoretical base, to build up my own digits. By some knowledge, and not by reflashing it million times, before i get the meaning of each bitset :-)
So here is a list of related topic questions:
- Do you know detailed description for each timing?
- Which of timings directly increases hash rate? (and, if you manage to know - why?)
- Which are responsible for card stability?
- Which are responsible for power consumption?
- Do timings have dependency on each other? What could be a formula for that dependency?
I would appreciate if you could share your thoughts on these. Best regards, xakepp35.
