Hi everyone,

mind sharing your configs for RX580 8GB please.
Sometimes miner starts and all cards hashing at 1000+ hs on cnheavy.
Miner restarts and back to around 860hs

Using v1.6.7 as v1.6.8 didn`t give me any hashing increases.

Also curious what intensity you running with v7 on 580?

Thanks

You need set gpu by hand, not use auto. Auto value lower in 1.6.8

FIXED 1.6.8 IS UP AGAIN ON MEGA

Hopefully this is the last fix of 1.6.8, and it should compile now on pitcairns, hawaiis etc..

I also rewrote the resources freeing code on miner shutdown/restart, so it may take now a little longer to close the miner, but this should solve the problems with driver sometimes crashing on miner close.

If you want to use the old, faster shutdown method, you can use the --forcedshutdown parameter , added in start.bat

Also i changed my mind and no more normal and maxi versions, only maxi. Because no one notices the big message on the first page that says which drivers should be used

Please report if hawaiis and pitcairns compile now.
Thanks

Dear All,

Anyone know the detailed info about startup_script？ How to use it?

Thanks

So, how to use it?

Create a .bat file where you set for example overdriventool to reset your cards & apply profiles to them.
Let's call that file overclock.bat

Then in your start.bat add the --startupscript parameter to the end of line for example :

SRBMiner-CN.exe --config Config\config-normalv7.txt --pools pools.txt --logfile %LOGTIME% --startupscript overclock.bat

Now the overclock.bat will be run before the miner starts, so this way you can ensure that on every miner start you apply the overclocking settings.

If you meant the startup_script in algos.txt file, the principle is same, you just enter the overclock.bat filename in the algos.txt file as a value for the startup_script parameter.

possibly heavy algos impacted. Wait for next version, until then use 1.6.7

[abg00]

possibly heavy algos impacted. Wait for next version, until then use 1.6.7

but rx560\4gb work better on 1.6.8
variable rate on 1.6.7 and stable high rate on 1.6.8
use 1.6.8 on cn-heavy for all rx560\4gb ( 3 rig 12 gpu each)

Intensity is 29 in auto mode (both cards). I tried 30, but the miner crashed. I tried 28, the hasrates was lower. I tried 29, the results was same. Which settings set up manually?

yes, i am trying to tune every card separately, so too much cards and too much settings, i probably messed something for the 4xx 5xx series for heavy algos.

Can i help you with any other informations?

[nemram]

Hello everybody. I have  1 RX 580 and 2 RX 560. on other miners it works without problems, and on this miner in 2-3 minutes it hangs and reboots. I tried different settings and recommendations, but nothing helps.

So its offical that V8 will be slower than V7?

AMD Radeon R7 260X is Bonaire so it should work.
What error do you get, paste it here, or create a screenshot.
