Claymore XPM GPU Miner discussion

[bclcjunkie]

13.12 shouldnt be showing that warning... i used to get those from 14.xx drivers... try using amduninstall utility http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx and reinstall 13.12 from scratch..

If you read the readme!!!.txt you must see:

Catalyst 13.12 is highly recommended for best performance and compatibility!

in your *.bat write like this:


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsXpmMiner.exe -o ypool.net -u USERNAME -p YOURPASSWORD



try also add parametrs to miner string  "-ss 3" or "-ss2"

Hello

I`m using 14.4 catalyst, and without problem. everything is working like a charm. I am using a week or more...

i 'm back using 13.12 now but warning keep shiwing in start , something like  "linking 2 modules of different target triples , i don't know what is that
now i'm with 3 7950 cards , they are showing like 1.3 cpd each one , with a config -ss 2 and each bat has his own address . is it good or bad ??

am i in the right way ??

So I have found a total of twenty 10ch but only 1 block. 2 of my cards have been stuck at the same max diff for over 15 hours now after finding more than four 10ch each.

I just am just curios if I am wasting my time so I can move on to something else if needed.

With difficulty 10.94 now only 6 in 100 10ch will be valid blocks. Do you realise that? I think that CPD 10 (for example) will give per day about 1 11ch block and 0.6 10ch (with diff > 10.94) blocks. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Had no idea. Thanks.

 I was mainly concerned the max diff hasn't risen after finding 10ch. I thought I read that if max diff isn't above current diff then I have no chance at finding a block. Just dknow what makes the max diff rise.

Catalyst 14.4 on your screenshot Even 270X must show CPD about 3.0.
Install 13.12, use AMD Clean-up utility if you have any problems with it.

Is it support lowend card like 7790 ?

Absolutely, I have 5 msi 7790s on claymore v8 right now, 3 solo and 2 on ypool. They are each getting ~64000 4ch/hr, and estimated 1.95 CPD. With 3 of them solo for the past 40 hours or so I've mined 2 blocks so far. Not officially supported but they work more than well IMO. My clocks are set to 1050/1000

Hello! Is there a win miner wich supports Nvidia ? I have 4 gtx 750 Ti. Can i mine somth with those? Thanks!

It's just max diff of chains your miner found. So if it's lower than current diff then you haven't found any blocks yet.

i used the cleanup utility and i downloaded catalyst 12.13 from here http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/17157/ i'm not getting errors but msi afterburner still show version 14.4 , and cpd is 1.5 for a single 7950 . could you give me a link where to download 13.12 i think the link i downloaded from is not the right one

I'm using msi too, just tried with default clocks for 2 hours, I'm getting 69000 4ch/hr, 1.98 CPD and still crawling up.
set the memory down not affecting mining speed?

edit : i installed now from http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_13_12_whql_download.html
and even if afterburner show 14.4 it's shownig good stats , so i post if anyone having same probleme

[Strannik-74]

For 7950 is considered normal 3.6-3.8 CPD, 1.9 is very small.

Correct. It just that my Max Diff hasn't changed in over 20 hours now. I have added 6 more 10ch and countless other channels.

I am just wanting to know if something is wrong and I am wasting my time right now and need to change some settings. It is still finding channels but Diff hasn't changed like I said in over 20 hours.

and i'm mining for each gpu with different adress , is that going to change anything ?

Everything is OK with your miner. But you totally don't understand what is happening here in Primecoin.

how to understand? i am also want to understand as i'm in same situation ,
i have 17x R9=270x and 7x 7970 ( found 3 block on 7970 on 1 rig) but not found any single block on other 23 rigs.

should i switch to POOL intead of solo mining?

or anyother way to use whole 24 rig power in one place? in solo mining

[zikomoto]

i have now the catalyst 13.12 and config set , but i see 1cpd that's very low , what i'm missing ??

Also miner tell me that catayst 13.12 is best for compatibility , is that an error msg or the program  always print it

Edit : i'm an idiot , i was working with v0.6 

[zikomoto]

i can't go over 2.5 cpd now , with 7950 clocks 925/1250 -ss2 , is that it's limit ??
