Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[surfer43]

I get periodic disconnects from mining, at which point I have to manually restart. It would be good if the software could be updated to detect this and automatically restart. Also, support for multiple pools (i.e. failover) would be helpful. Last but not least, optimizations to performance are almost certainly still available. Are there plans to open source this eventually? Or do we just need to wait for ccMiner and sgminer to create their own Cryptonight code?

It doesn't automatically try to reconnect? I have to restart the pool sometimes (often a few times a day) when the daemon gets stuck..

disconnects has nothing to do with the miner. monero.org and. fr having ddos attacks since yesterday

any thoughts on how to get 280x's stable with this gpu miner yet?

and why gigabyte 280x's seem to suffer very low hash rate, eg struggle to break 300h/s when compared to an asus 280x that does 360 with ease.

That's what you mean ? Gigabyte like my another rig ?

are they the windforce 280x's rev 1 or 2?

i run 2 of them and one can do 310H/s at 1200/1500 and the other does about 308H/s at 1200/1500. cant seem to push them any higher on mine. even tried different motherboards and the same affect, they are also the ones that drop out 98% of the time....

R9 280x Windforce Rev2. I do it with default clock 1100/1500. Stop OC your CoreClock cuz it will not stable and increase very little hashrate compare with power consumption. I suggest use default for best performance. If you want to OC, just increase a little with MemClock. FORGET TO OC CORE, IT'S NOT GOOD AT ALL.

mine also does not have Hynix GDDR, i have Elpida, which iam assumeing is a much poorer quality brand of memory. i will knock back the OC and list the results.
do you have stock bios, or modded bios btw?
and do yours stay at 99/100% usage or do they bounce around alittle?

Edit.
both cards running at stock clocks with only +20% to power, one does 292 and the other does 288h/s.
very low considering my asus 280x both combined do 730H/s :-/

Cannot confirm your experience with overclocking. My Rig has been running stable with 1140/1800 clocks for 28 hours now. Each 280x toxic is hashing with like 360h/s.
Don't know about changes in power consumption, but I don't really care cause its free anyway

i use stock bios, no OC, no powertune. My card performance info (stable constant all next info) : Core 1100, Mem 1500, Mem use 99%, fan speed 90%, temp around 55 - 60 ( environment around 30 celsius degree)
 I think Claymore build this miner base on ATI 280x factory default parameter, so that if you change or try to change any element parameter of your cards, it will lead to wrong data reply with miner algo. So the result is hashrate drop down or card works unstable.

i don't show off my OC experience, i just make the best and easiest way to config stable miner for another in forum

i believe that its also dependent on the type of memory the card has been build with. as we know Hynix is what 15% faster then Elpida memory which is where iam starting to believe my issue is actually comeing from with low hash rates. weather that is something that can be overcome with fine greater tuneing to the miner itself by claymore or weather it can be adjusted to be stable via memclocks i cant say. how ever OC works well on 280x's and 7 series and even 6 series gpus. my 2 asus 280x's are OCed and are 100% stable for days. my 2 7950's produce 606h/s between them so that 303 H/s per card, and thats under OC, my 6950 modded to 6970 specs does 120h/s with a mild overclock and has also been stable for days. the cards i have listed are hynix/other based memory built in and when compared to my gb 280x's they all OC very well and are stable where the GB dont seem to be very stable even at stock clocks, which as i suggested i believe is due to the cheaper memory type that was used....

R9 280x GPU dropping activity SOLVED:

I found the problem was in relation with my PSU, i was pushing 6 GPU R9 280x with 2 PSU: 1300 watt + 1000w PSU.

I removed 2 x GPU and used only one PSU of 1300watt which can fullfill 4 x GPU (Rosewill 1300w PSU). Right now im mining with Claymore on my 4 x R9 280x with one good PSU 1300w without any problem of VM memory leak or GPU activity.

My 1000w PSU ETG was removed and ill add an extra 530w PSU to support the motherboard connections.

All people with over 4 x GPU and with lower PSU amp and watts, should try removing some GPU cards, one by one

[TheUniporn]

A 7950 in one rig that has two other 280x has video driver crashes even with stock BIOSes. The problem is that this results in the mining program closing. Is there a way to automatically start it when it closes or any other ideas? No problems with the rig until now.
Thank you!

[patriot1889]

Argh. After mining with this miner I can't mine other algos any more. The drivers just crash. I managed to get them working again at lower clocks than I used to use.

Anyone got any ideas whats going on?!

Remove drivers with driver cleaner in safe mode, let it clean and restart as it suggests, then install for instance 14.4

[zembal]

patriot1889 you used "setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100" and now it is permamently saved in windows registry and others miners doesnt't accept it
now you will have to reinstall system or remove this keys from system registry

Hmm I used that a long time ago and mined most algos successfully after that, with many different drivers?

i dont think thats the issue. as i have 1 280x running solo on a 1000w gold rated psu and it was still dropping like a bitch. so power is not the issue. only wal that i have found around it is by installing amd SDK 2.9, did that over 14 hours ago and still no crash compared to haveing it crash/drop gpu cards every few hours. i know it has something to do with open Cl thread call or something, i made mention to it several pages back. i will continue to run my cards with the SDK pack and see how it goes over the next few days....

DEV please help.. how fixed memory clock on 290 and 290x

what issue are you having with the memclocks?

all 290 and 290x have look pictures..  http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/aliaksandr-kavaleuski/view/1148794

every 0.5 seconds memory frequency from 150 to 1300 non stop.. i have 6 rigs whit 290 and 290x all have this problem

Same here!?
