Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[zetent]

Marvellous, getting 1800h/s with my r9 290 cards! 29% increase!

The memclock on the cards were jumping between 100 (idle) and 1500MHz batshit crazy on 2.2 but seems a lot more stable now.

For those who wonder:

3x r9 290 gigabyte reference with elpida
8gb ram
have not manually set anything (virtual memory nor gpu alloc)
catalyst 13.12
win7 64


The only thing I really lack is temp and fan control, --auto-fan on c/sgminer is just too awesome with my rig being outside with shifting ambient temperature.

That means that elpida is not a problem.
My 270x with elpida runs at 330hs.
Looks like problem is just with 280x, only Asus runs great.

[Palad1n]

2044 h/s on x3 r9 290.
681 h/s each.

Do you know if you have hynix or elpida memory?

Crucial. 4 x 2 memory - 8 gb

are you guys using GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100?

I find 85 gives me most hash

Yes I am using 100 percent as suggested in readme. I will try variation of that now starting with 85 percent. Thank you for the idea.

I read here 80 is best for some people... I find my miner too unstable at 100... Does 100 consume more power than 85 or does it not make any difference?

What does GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT actually do?

Just another update:
Changing the allocation did not improve the hashrate.

can someone please provide another link to ver 3.1...i'm having download issues at mega today

edit: downloaded from my friends house...different isp

i said thanks before and I'm saying thanks again claymore.

20% boost in 3.1 is fantastic work, Claymore.  How can I buy you a virtual beverage of your choice?  You deserve at least that and much much more.  Thx!!!

edit: 2x 280X at 900 h/s and 4x 7970 at 1780 h/s.

I'm happy :-)

What brand or make is your 280x?

[grendel25]

280x are Sapphire Toxic and Asus Top 2Cu.  7970 are Asus Matrix and Sapphire Dual X.  I don't recommend the Dual X.  I don't recommend XFX or VisionTek either.  Green eggs and ham are okay.

i have 4 gpus in my system

what command can i use to get the gpu indexes as this software sees them? i used "-di 123" to use my 2nd to 4th gpus while leaving my primary gpu unused. is this correct?? it starts mining but is also using my primary gpu so i feel i did something wrong somewhere. anyone have a similar setup can point me in the right direction?

I think you would want just -di 01 to just disable your first graphics card.

[MTJ151]

I get massive lag on my desktop while using this miner. (juddery mouse etc).

I have even tried disabling the display GPU but still got slight stuttering. It's annoying as I use this rig as my computer too.

[TheFuneral]

So I spent five hours last night trying to get this to work with no luck.

I have an ASRock Extreme 4, Sempron 145, 8GB of RAM, 3x290s.

I uninstalled my 14.4 catalyst drivers through the control panel and then installed 13.12. I change my page file sizes for initial size: and maximum size: to be 18000, 17000, 16000, and 16500. None of these could make the miner work.

Is there a better way to uninstall the drivers maybe? Not sure how people are just getting this to work on the first try.

I was able to get farther on this with version 3.1, but the computer was hashing at a slow rate and eventually rebooted itself.

What is the best way to remove drivers before installing the older ones? Maybe I'm doing that wrong.

ok just tried that but the result was the same. my pc starts locking up because it's using my primary. can i specify intensity with -i?

Maybe it thinks your main is 02, 03 or 04.

Try each one of those instead maybe?

I was experiencing stutter even when not using my primary gpu.

*edit same thing with 3.1, k1a failed -52 error

PM me full log.

Hey really appreciated for the fast response Claymore.

I sent the full log from trying 3.0 - this was what I had in the folder.

Let me know if you want the log for 3.1 - maybe I tested it on my other rig, I have two. Remotely operated, from my vacation location nonetheless.

Log for 3.1 from the other rig PM'd aswell

To whom it might concern,

Claymore sent me several PM's and one alternative beta miner of V3.x.
For now he suspects that me activating my miners remotely ("RDC'ing") from my vacation location actually might be the fault for the k1a-error code.

Will update if anything happens

Update -

Claymore pointed out that I only had replaced the .exe in an old folder and the new 3.1 .exe did not work with the old .bin -file. Solution - always start new version from own new folder.

Guys, I'm using version 3.1 miner which shows me 1,851 h/s on the screen but on the pool

http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/#

webpage my miner shows only 850 h/s ...

Why the big discrepancy? I can understand +/- 5% or even 10% but less than half.. its ridiculous, right?

It can take a long time before the hashrate on the pool is displayed correctly.
It is only an estimate based on what you send to the pool the past hour.

If you just connected, the hashrate cannot be correct, you must wait some time.

Update on my test for V3.1

4-MSI 7950 Twin Frozr
Version 2.2
Total hashrate = 1180 h/s
Version 3.1
Total hashrate = 1756 h/s !!!! Awesome.

3-Sapphire R9 290
Version 2.2
Total hashrate = 1430 h/s
Version 3.1
Total hashrate = 1779 h/s .....nice ... Thanks to claymore for constantly giving update and improvements.

[Starlightbreaker]

heavily underclocked and undervolted 5x 280xs = 1950 h/s

win 8.1 with 14.6b1  \

not bad for a 750w rig.
