what's up?

Lol, I have same thing happening to me too. Since I know that at least one of 4 GPU's in that rig isn't in 100% good condition, I presumed that thread number equals GPU number. Does anyone know is my assumption correct? Is thread number = GPU number?

[Claymore]

Yes, thread index = GPU index. On some systems miner is not stable, it requires a lot of GPU memory and AMD video drivers fail, especially on multi-GPU systems. Sometimes it may fail immediately, sometimes it may work for an hour and then fail. It was already discussed a few times, sometimes setting more virtual memory helps, sometimes increasing of RAM size helps, but sometimes there is no way to fix it at all, for such cases use "-wd" and/or "-r" miner options.

How to use these keys?

[Namsbreh]

I will release Linux version in a few days. Also I'm working on implementing fans/temp control in the miner.

Hows the Linux version coming on?  It ready yet?

Thanks Claymore!

Eagerly waiting for Linux version

[zaqco]

Rig: W8.1 x64 AMD 14.7
5 x Gigabyte R9 270's
Claymore 6.1

I barely get a boost at all on one rig and I'm doing a little better on the other.

I've been using this as my config:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:5555 -u 41t2Zk5SNBc... -p x -a 3 -wd 1 -li 1

Is there a better one for 270ss?  No x.
Thanks.

Right now I have compiled the miner for Linux, but it still does not work properly for now there. Anyway, most of job is completed, I will fix bugs, check the miner under different Linux versions and release it then.

[Yanakitu Tenatako]

Will it be only 64bit or maybe and 32bit version?

[Claymore]

Will it be only 64bit or maybe and 32bit version?

x64 only, I think x86 version is impossible due to a very large size of GPU RAM that is required.

Which are the best drivers for 280x? Currently using 14.4...should I upgrade ti 14.6 or 14.7?

Thanks.

Thanks.

You can use 14.4. But you need to copy the 14.6 opencl dll files to the program folder. You can search the forum to find the specific dll to copy to.

Thanks for your response.
I'm using now 14.4 and it's working without additonal dll's from other drivers (14.6).
Is there any performance gain with newer drivers or I should just leave as is... these are my current results in Claymore 6.1:

2x MSI 280x (Elpida) 1020/1250 - 800h/s
2x Asus 280x (Hynix) 1000/1250 - 893h/s
2x GBT 280x (Elpida) 1020/1250 - 767h/s
2x GBT 270 (Elpida) 1020/1250 - 623h/s

Only using -a 3 command...

Thanks.

It can be faster. For your Hynix 1000 MHz, it should be about 1000h/s for 2 if you use 14.6. For me, my 1000/1500MHz, is about 500H/s for 1 7970. I use 14.4+14.6.

EDIT : nvm

OpenCL Files:
amd_opencl32.dll or amd_opencl64.dll (if the miner is compiled in x64)
amdocl.dll or amdocl64.dll (if the miner is compiled in x64)

You just extract the 14.6 or 14.7 beta drivers but don't install them. Just locate where you extracted the files. "amd14.6.......\Packages\Drivers\Display\WB6A_INF\B165829\thenthefilesabove" . Just add them to the miner directory. 

I'm using 13.12. drivers with my 270x (14.4. is crashing in games), but 14.7. for mining without problems.

i have downloaded 13.12 catalyst and 14.4

Same thing in both

i would appreciate any help

HD 3200? Miner does not support such old cards.

[kotarius]

Claymore,

I am product manager at http://getpimp.org , we respectfully request you to compile 32 bit version against debian squeeze for testing purposes.

PiMP OS is 32bit with PAE kernel, supports up to 64gb system memory addressable, no reason it should not work.

yeah please release a linux version - i would prefer a 64bit version

he said he is working on linux version. and as for kotarius's request this question has already been answered
