I tried to PM you but you didn't configure your account to accept PMs from newbies (I'm still a newbie with this account). You can enable this in Profile -> Personal Message Options -> Allow newbies to send you PMs.

Could you try to run the miner with the following command line?

Code:

sgminer -k x17 -o pool -u user -p password --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21 2>log.txt

That will generate a log.txt file in the folder you run the command. Copy and paste the contents of that file and send it to my by PM so I can examine it.
Also, it would be helpful if you could take a screenshot and upload it to this image hosting website, and send me the link so I can have a look when the miner pauses.

Unfortunately I don't have discord or Skype accounts. Sorry.

why setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

and not
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

?

This algo doesn't require huge amount of memory. Setting GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR to 1 could potentially hurt performance since memory access would require twice the number of clock cycles.

I also believe it is redundant to set this to 1 with reasonably new drivers.
I'm using GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 for at least half a year and am yet to find a miner/algo that didn't work with that on RX480 in windows 10 (and I believe I have tried almost every miner/algo for AMD available)

Try with

Code:

"gpu-platform" : "0"

Also, I recommend intensity 21 instead 22 for your RX 480

nice. going to try this on my RX480. pitty my 1070s does 12.5mhs for 150w so not sure if there will be much of an uptake if power is worst

Hi sorry for reviving and old thread, But i am really curious how you were able to hit 12.5Mhs for 150w on a 1070 please. I have not been able to get close to that on 1070 ti's.
