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 !

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.

[sky2018miner]

distinguished developer
if you are not able to test the miner on older maps
Please indicate in the description to the miner on which cards it is intended
and can work without problems
as indicated in the description of other miners
and also indicate that you do not need to support the optimization of older maps in your miner so that people will not wait and use

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)

I had the similar issue with my RX580's 8gb, 1090hr with 1.6.9 vs 1050hr with 1.7.0...after a while I noticed that the "fragments" wasn't set the same as in 1.6.9. After setting the fragments manually to 64 i got slightly increased hashrate to 1138. Also noticed that 1.7.0 version needs more time to reach the highest hashrates.

4gb ellesmere cards are better on 170, only the 8Gb cards do that magical hashrate game.
On previous versions you had sometimes to wait for a few hours to get all cards hashing at for example 1100hs, and even then sometimes they never reached to that maximum.
For some the gpu-z tricks worked, for some not. I managed to make that hashrate 90% stable on 170, so no need to start the miner X times to maybe reach a maximum hashrate, and no need for gpu-z tricks.
So you get a little lower hashing speed, but it is much more stable.

I was getting about 100h/s less on my ASUS 580 8gb on v1.7 until I changed my worksize and fragments to 16 now I'm back to what I had under previous versions.

Vegas and 560's all hash higher under 1.7 with the same settings as 1.6.8.

Well if windows hangs then you can't do anything else but restart the machine physically.
Maybe you should lower a little bit your overclocking settings so it won't hang ?

if the OS crashes then you will need a smart outlet for remote control. I have all my rigs on the tplink HS110 it also has energy monitoring built in.
