Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[aionsz]

have 290x, 290 and 280x on 1 rig

watchdog - thread 0, hb time 672
20:14:54:096   1b74   watchdog - thread 1, hb time 703
20:14:54:102   1b74   watchdog - thread 2, hb time 77547
20:14:54:107   1b74   WATCHDOG: Thread 2 hangs in OpenCL call, you need to restart miner
20:14:54:113   1b74   WATCHDOG: GPU memory error, you need to restart miner
20:14:54:123   1b74   Restarting OK, exit...
whats the problem?

P.S problem appears when work all 3 cards. when work 290 and 290x all is ok. when start usind -d 123 with 280x error start again
can you fix it?

Upgraded to v 6.0 but still got a lot of these:

Code:

Error in server response
: {"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-1,"message":"Lowdifficultyshare"}}
Stratum - connecting to 'xmr.crypto-pool.fr' <212.129.27.50> port 6666
Stratum - Connected
Pool Diff 7500

Don't overclock your cards too much.

Problem solved. Thank you.

is it possible to run this miner on a 2gb ram on the pc?

i dont believe it is.

whats the solution then?should i again buy 16gb ram?

I use 4GB RAM in my rigs. 2GB is too small, it will fail on most configurations, there is no way to fix it.

yes but give it a try, it can be successful

i run this: windows7 64bit, 1Gb ram, 2xhd5870(1Gb vram), catalyst 13.12



it works. 376h/s for 2 hd5870 as expected
(the cpu is also mining and two wallet are stacking at the same time!)

i have another rig with 2Gb and 3xhd7950. it works too.

whats your secret?Should i fresh install win7 x64 after downgrading from 16gb?

v6.0 is available:

- Improved mining speed by 2-3% for all cards.
- Reduced number of outdated shares dramatically.
- Improved "-a" option, now you can specify mining mode for every card separately.
- Fixed bug with Stratum support for Minergate pool.

Good job)
less stale shares + minergate fix

one question is any possibility to full use of 4 Gb vram on 290-290x on your miner? i remember what long ago some miner might use what so i have what setting on my system
GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

[Wexlike]

small but nice increase.

1720 hash / 1636 hash = 5,1% increase

but attention, the new version increases also power usage.

609 watt / 572 watt = 6,4% increase


speedwise its really a crazy job. 555 hash/s with my 280x with full overclock.

[OmarGsPools]

How is the power usage compared to the new optimized x11 miners? I know before that x11 consumed less energy but since the new miners it's been increasing. Anyone with a Kill-A-Watt who can share some numbers?

[phzi]

Think we'll ever see a linux version of this, for people that use an actual mining quality OS for mining?

[atp1916]

Version 6 runnin' like a boss.

Thanks Claymore  

[Kablam]

well if not claymore release it someone else will

[atp1916]

Claymore,
Is there any speed difference running the 13.12 drivers and the 13.12 miner or the 14.6 drivers and the 14.6 miner?

[Jshank]

anybody running on 14.7? Results?

[griffga]

anybody running on 14.7? Results?

I'm running 4 rigs of 3x 7950's all at stock. They are Gigabyte's with F43 bios so core is only 900mhz stock. Each rig gets 1300h/s. Hopefully, this is comparable.

my gb 280x's elpida memory are running 14.7 with 6.0 miner they do do 410 each now. no difference on 14.6 and 13.12.
my 2 7950's now do 501.5 each at resonable overclock on same drivers.

What cards are you running?

Are you 100% sure about the increased power usage?

My power usage actually went up a little more than that since I tend go near the 80-90% max of my PSUs.  I got about 3.87% more with 7.8% more power used.  Mix of 6950, 7950, 7970/280X and a 290.  I'm going back to v5.0 since it's hot as hell out in the west US.

[ozzy1926]

its because v 6.0 uses -a1 option. set to -a2

[bestsponsor]

set to -a 3 for to decrease power.
4 7950 -a 1 = 625W
4 7950 -a 2 = 623W
4 7950 -a 3 = 565W
The productivity (1030/1500) : 1710kh  a3>a1>a2
Why do so - I do not know?

wow awesome, just tried -a 3. i get higher hash and lower power usage, lol. xD

1760 hash/s @544 watt


my settings:
4x 280x underclocked
0,981 mV
970 core
1000 chip

i think i will clock them a bit higher now. -a 3 rocks

small update:

i think i ve found my best settings.

0,981 voltage
1020 core
1000 chip

1766 hash
470 watt with only gpus (537 watt with monitor and cpu mining for comparison)

no secret, perhaps a little of luck!

the hardware is very old (gygabyte g31 motherboard, pentium e5200 and 40gb ide hdd). gpu 0 is an asus hd5870@950/1250 1gb and gpu 1 a vtx hd5870@920/1200 1gb too.
the rig ran under pimp (groestl much of the time) but ~3 weeks ago, i decided to test cryptonote.
so i set up windows 7 integral 64bit but for faster install, i put 2gb memory. i chose catalyst 13.12 and claymore v5.0. i did not test newer driver (hardware too old to hope better performances)
the rig was OK and i was able to mine succesfully some ducknote.
later, i replace the 2gb ram (top of the range kingston ddr2 memory that i sold a good price) by cheaper 1gb ram noname. the rig is still working at same performance.
this hardware will wait a little before going to the trash can thanks Claymore.

[cacanin]

Clay did you notice that the miner 6.0 gives more hash in the mineru however the pool gives 10 to 15% less real hash. Many users have this problem. After 12 digging there has been a lot fewer coins excavated??
