please write what is the speed on 470 video cards on this miner?

what algo?

here is v8 normal rx570 4GB Hynix

yup, it is a bug, it's going to be fixed

[RagingBull]

please write what is the speed on 470 video cards on this miner?

what algo?

here is v8 normal rx570 4GB Hynix

hey these hash values rx570 very great for 4gb i'll try it soon. Did you use MSI afterburner for overclocking?because it is very difficult to make overdriventool settings.

I could use some advice! My hashrate for RX 570 4GB cards on windows 10 64 bit has dropped to about 300 H/s mining monero.

I was getting over 700 H/s on these 2 days ago. I woke up to windows restarted and reverted back to 17 Relive drivers that I used to have installed for mining a few months ago. Now all the cards are only mining at 300 and I get warnings that they are dropping to 0 at some points.
I reinstalled with a clean install of 18.6.1 drivers and still have the same issue. I tried again with 18.11.1 and only 1 card, same issue. I'm using 1x risers and have backed off of any clock changes to stock, same problems.
I have an EVGA 1000 watt GQ PSU and only installed Comodo security on this computer. Other than trying to reinstall windows, I'm not sure what else could be the issue. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

My first thought is to ask if you put each GPU in Compute Mode in Radeon Settings?

Thanks! I assumed because the setcompute command completed without error it must have been enabled, but in the Radeon settings it wasn't.
Looks like my rig is pooched in some way which caused the driver to completely crash.

I just tested it and it looks like maxstartuptime caps out at 600.  So you have to cut algos.txt to 10 algos or less.

Or just wait for the fix.

Or run it with SRBMiner-CN.exe --benchmarkalgos --disablestartupmonitor

one question
do you still support old pitcairn video cards ?
After the test of your latest version 1.7.0 I am at a loss?
srb 1.6.9 pitcairn 370 2 gb stelite v4 --- 485h / s
srb 1.7.0 ---- 226h / s
total failure

Hi i got  less hashes with 1.7.0 on my tahiti too. Can you share your 1.6.9 miner settings for pitcairn? Thank you.

Need more info, like is it stellite only or EVERY algo? same settings? what have you tried beside running new version with old config ?

I dont have every possible gpu to try out when coding, sometimes what pushes one card, takes off another, so dont be immediately mad bros  

Absolutely no complaints, just results. In my case, for tahiti the most productive version is still 1.6.8, 1.6.9 is a little slower, 1.7.0 much slower. ( same settings, algo v8)

which card specifically, and what was the hashrate on 1.6.8 and what it is on 1.7.0 ?
I want to try to fix this issue.

Same here epic failure  for r9 280 Dual-x  (compute errors, 0 h/s, red everywhere, no need to ask drivers, oc, compute, lock memory pages all ok! i have a Vega 56 rig too doing better but still 100w more for V8 than V7 and 100h/s less...
)
i dont want to be disrespectful with your awesome work and support (really) but:

As you ask on your 1.7.0 release post: NO! WE DONT WANT USELESS EXTRA TUNING GADGETS to mine 10h/s more but screwing up 50% of our gpu's and all pasts benchmarks.

I mean of course if it's usefull, like very usefull i'm ok but:
i MINE : CryptoNight ,CryptoNightAlloy, CryptoNightArto, CryptoNightB2N, CryptoNightFast   ,CryptoNightHaven ,CryptoNightHeavy   ,CryptoNightItalo , CryptoNightLiteV7, CryptoNightSaber, CryptoNightStelliteV4,   CryptoNightV7, CryptoNightV8 with a profitability switcher that i coded
if i need to bench (x8)²x508x48 possible settings/cards/algo on every release i'll rather to stop using a tool that will makes me spend more time to bench and set up than to mine ...

SO PLEASE YOUR PROGRAM IS GREAT!= new goodies or i dont know how do you call this (fragments, bralock, aes) and all these ****** settings which makes me pull my hairs off for 1 week to earn what: 10h/s or 0========E X I T !

[Mashy81]

Been using 1.7 for a few days now on cnv8.
Very stable miner and my rx550 2gb cards have almost returned to there former glory.
All hashing at 469hs each.
Thanks dok keep up the good work

[hin0001]

just a report

ver 1.7 on my rig reduce my haven hashrate compared to v1.68

for example : on Asus rog rx580 8gb using:

> 1.68 the hashrate started @8xx-9xx and going up stable @1050-1052

> 1.70 the hashrate started @98x/99x/1000 and stable @1010

it is also happen on other 470/480/570/580 from other brand.

so I go back to v1.68

Thanks.

Why do i always have to repeat myself : i don't have every amd card to test against, so yes, it may happen that an optimisation for one is not working out for the other, especially this is related to older cards.
The extra gadgets don't take off from your hashrate, but they can gain you if 10hs then 10hs, but they won't screw 50% of gpu's as you say.

I agree with dingdongtobias, if there is an older version that works good for you, then why not use that instead?
Further optimisations will be all towards newer cards in the future, those i got and can test with.

[hin0001]

Hi doctor,

since v1.68 is  the best for my rig, will you in the next release (1.71 maybe) to add an argument to run SRBminer to choose optimization 1 (1.68) , 2 (1.69), 3 (1.7.0), so everybody happy ... can use all program improvements you have made and mining new algos? OR better if you can make combined optimization from 1.68 1.69 1.70 with the best result for all   

thanks

which algo is best for you on 1.68 , and what gpu's ?

[hin0001]

which algo is best for you on 1.68 , and what gpu's ?

Right now I am mining haven with 1.68 using gpu:

1. Asus rog  rx 580 8gb ==> 1.7.0 lower hashrate (1010 vs 1050)
2. Sapphire Nitro/Pulse 570/580 8GB ==> 1.7.0 lower hashrate (8xx-9xx vs 9xx-10xx)
3. Sapphire Nitro 470/480 4GB ==> not tested, I think the result will be the same
4. Asus rog rx 480 8gb ==> not tested
5. MSI Gaming 470 4GB ==> not tested
6. XFX 470 4GB ==> not tested

what I like on v1.7.0 is a lot stable compared to 1.6.8, but the hashrate is lower.

Thanks doctor

[Pennywis3]

RX 570/580 8GB's are pulling 1.1k+ on heavy easy, on low clocks 1.200Mhz or below.

You're doing something wrong dude, unless you're running 1.100Mhz clocks at very low voltages.
