Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[fr4nkthetank]

What is the expected speed for Vega? Can't wait )))

It's just a bit faster than sgminer in my tests, my be you will get different results. The problem of this PoW is in GPU memory, so all tricks don't help much.

To get full Vega speed you need HBCC enabled and 2 or more threads with total memory usage ascending to the upper limit.
Will hope your miner let us configure threads and intensities. We need do break 2kh/s wall ))

I use different approach, so I get best speed in a single thread, two threads have same speed.
I did not try HBCC yet since I test everything on blockchain drivers and I don't see any dialogs with settings at all.

@Claymore :  You need 16gigs of ram for the HBCC slider to be enabled in amd settings, under global settings.  Blockchain drivers work fine.  xmr-stak-amd gets 1900hs with 2 threads, freq -30%, memory @ 945.  Fans must be set to at least 3250 or more for memory to get adequate cooling, even if core temp is cool.

I haven't installed the blockchain drivers yet what is the comparison from what some ppl say you only gain a few mh but uses more power is this true just asking I"m thinking of switching also what gpu utilities work best

Finally I have fixed the bug with Vega.
New version will be available within 24 hours.
Also I will reduce devfee and it will be executed once an hour, similar to dual and zec miners.

Will/can you optimize this miner for baffin?  You got nice increases for those cards on the zec and the dual miner.

Pretty please?  

I support this too, as monero is becoming more interesting after recent increase in ETH difficulty

Also needed is support for OC/voltage/fans for newer than 17.7.1 drivers

Waiting 24h so long

Hey claymore lets tell us whats the speed for vega 56 and 64

I don't OC GPUs and use stock bios, don't enable HBCC, etc, so I get low speeds. For example, I see 1140H/s for stock Vega64.

That's bad. You'll see 2-thread gain with HBCC only ((( HBCC can be enabled easy with blockchain drivers. But if you have Frontier - that is a problem ))

For HBCC enabled with Vega56 or Vega64 be sure you have enough virtual memory, make clean uninstall of drivers (I used amd utiity), install blockchain drivers again, you will see HBCC slider in Gaming section

Hmm, Vega56 shows about 1400H/s in stock. So it seems Vega56 is faster than Vega64 for my PoW implementation. I really need more time to find the reason, so I will release new version in several hours and then will spend more time for Vega.

Thoughts on implementing cryptonight merged mining with your miner?

It can be that you Vega64 is throttling in stock setting. Try to set fans to the max )))
Vega64 is not a card to run at stock )))))))))))))))
And please - provide more flexibility to tune your miner for the end user.
We need possibility to run it multi-threaded!

Rebooted PC, now drivers show 64 CUs for Vega56 instead of 56 and the speed is only 1100 due to unknown reason... I will include "-h" option to select the number of hashes and "-dmem" to enable double sized memory mode (it's not two threads but it processes two set of hashes at once so it's similar), it works good for Polaris and earlier cards, but Vega is some kind of magic.

Claymore  please release new version  vega is prolly a minority card  and ive been waiting forever for an upgrade

16 gb RAM or virtual memory enough?

Newer investigations show that it is not necessary to have more then 8gig og system RAM, but it is better set 16gb Virtual memory per card.

Even Claymore is baffled by Vega :-)

Sorry if I missed it in the mega thread, but will your new version support vega frontier edition?

[woodaxe]

well thats 24 hours mr claymore please release the new version  most of us dont have vega to worry about

[Jackkyy]

Release but good H/s
now if use 1 thread - = 1650 -xmd-stack
if use 2 thread = 1950 - xmd -stack

but Claymore tell - new version 1200H/s



very bad news

[syraka76]

still no new version?

[Jackkyy]

Wait soon new version
yesterday tell -after 24h post new version
soon this 24 h end

[syraka76]

Release but good H/s
now if use 1 thread - = 1650 -xmd-stack
if use 2 thread = 1950 - xmd -stack

but Claymore tell - new version 1200H/s



very bad news

I downloaded the miner -xmd-stack but did not understand how it is used, i do not see the file.exe, how do i create the .bat file?

[Jackkyy]

See this - all write for how minning monero

I think we can mine 5 coins at the same time if claymore includes code like this!

https://github.com/amphibia/fantomcoin/tree/master/src/minerc

There's windows binaries already compiled so I'll see if I can daisy-chain this app under windows and see if it works with the 9.7 miner...


edit:

Of course, no windows minerc binaries included LOL. It's OK windows comes with Ubuntu 16.04 and a c compiler that now! Just type bash in your console and it gets downloaded and installed... I was like WTF...
