Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[Bulitt]

I can use xmr-stak with 15.12 drivers and HD 6950 no problem.

[Rydereee12]

just want to say thanks  Smiley

How about 16.9.2?

When new versions with v7 algo support???

In a few days.

Hey Claymore,

Are you going to support TeraScale/VLIW GPUs again?

Claymore v9.7 is the last version that works with 5xxx/6xxx cards and it doesn't support Monero v7 algo.

I wouldn't mind paying dev fees for an updated version.

Hi,

There's no worries, XMR stak now fully works with TeraScale gpus. Me and a couple of other members worked hard to troubleshoot it. Please check https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/882ogg/summary_and_final_guidepointers_on_how_to/

and comments at https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/issues/472

Basically, you need to use 14.4 driver, nothing else works with Stak, and then there are some extra sweet spot intensity settings you can find if you read through what was posted Result is getting 400 h/s per core of HD 6990 on xmr stak, that is about 800 h/s + per one HD 6990, guaranteed to work with V7 monero algo.

Well, the thing is Claymore v9.7 works fine with 15.7.1 (it actually asks for 15.x Catalyst for maximum performance/compatibility)... it would be nice if the latest Claymore added TeraScale support again.

Right, I see that, but you're missing my point. The drivers you use don't matter if it's a dedicated mining rig, and with 14.4 drivers, if you compile XMR stak from source, you can remove the dev fee, and you literally get the fastest miner for free. With those drivers and correct intensity/worksize, XMR stak outperforms claymore on terascale by 20%, plus you pay no fee.

No problem with how much performance actually?
You not only need to have a GPU running. The problem that next to all miners get is huge performance penalty with xmr-stak, up to 80% of hashrate loss. Please post more details about your performance results both with CCNM 9.7 and XMR-STAK
Also please elaborate on stability issue. When using 15.12 drivers I have frequent issues with tempereture sensors that stop reporting until hard reboot.

Do you mean XMR stak is 20% faster than Claymore?

Yes. Read my previous comments and links.

I see your point, but not everyone has a dedicated mining rig. Dev fee is not a problem, as long as the miner works as it should.

How? Does it detect more than 384MB of RAM?

v11.3:

- removed devfee, miner is completely free now.
- added "-pow7" option to support Monero hardfork, use "-pow7 1" value to enable it.
- reduced CPU usage for systems with a lot of GPUs.

[Bulitt]

RIP Terascale cards. Throw them in the garbage.

Hello,

Can you please make it work with AMD RX550 2GB? it only works with claymore 9.7. Thank you

[Johny101010]

v11.3:

- removed devfee, miner is completely free now.
- added "-pow7" option to support Monero hardfork, use "-pow7 1" value to enable it.

Why free? Does this mean it is EOL for the miner and no more updates?

Was waiting long time, thanks for free, but no tweaks like the Eth miner release?
Was hoping for improved hashrates and tweaks from 11.6 to be ported to this miner also?

Shall we use  "-pow7 1"  now, or wait until the fork starts with a particular block time?

Does V7 use the similar amount of the core or memory?

Does it use similar power so that we can use the same setting (work size, GPU frequency)　 as the previous PoW algorithm?

rx550 not supported again?

Add rx550 support please!

[UlrichN]

Please add support for the cryptonight-heavy algo that Haven(XHV) uses

Shall we use  "-pow7 1"  now, or wait until the fork starts with a particular block time?

Interested to know this as well. Can we use this miner now with pow7 enabled? Does anyone know?

EDIT: "-pow7 1" fails to mine. Looks like you will have to change this setting manually on Friday when block 1546000 rolls around.
