I'm getting these errors using sgminer-gm v5.5.5

Any ideas?

So, i had to downclock my cards to 2000 on memory as it was unstable. Looks like your settings don't really help, only about a 10h/s increase on each card 😐 I have gigabyte 4gb rx 560s. Any ideas?

Which miner you are using and what is your config file? Also, do you know how many compute units your card has? You can obtain compute unit values by running Claymore cryptonight miner. It shows compute unit number at the start.

Using XMR stack. Have 16 Compute unit cores and the memory is 7000mhz, Flashed with click auto bios. I have been altering my config files like changing intensity, worksize, etc. Feel like my cards are just a bad bunch Sad

I was having troubles getting sg miner to work. Will get it sorted tomorrow when I have time.

I built my first Cryptonight rig a few months back using Sapphire Pulse RX 570 and was able to get 915 h/s @ 95 watt on the wall. Due to high prices and unavailability of RX 570s, I decided to give RX 560s a shot. I am glad to mention that I am able to obtain 515 h/s @ 40 watt on the wall for AMD RX 560 while mining Electroneum/Sumokoin (will be true for all Cryptonight coins e.g., Monero, Karbo). You can see the proof of hashrate and clock settings at this link: https://imgur.com/a/q1iKk

I am using sgminer-gm 5.5 with rawintensity 416 and worksize 8. The trick was to use 2 gpu threads in the config file as follows:

"rawintensity": "416", "worksize": "8", "gpu-threads": "2"

My GPU is Asus OC 2gb Polaris 14nm 1210 Ghz core and 1750 Mhz memory clock. It uses Elpida DDR5 memory. Its bios is modified using Polaris 1.6.6 editor's one click patch option and that was pretty much it. (I tried Sapphire RX Pulse 4gb version but could not get it above 410 h/s).

I tried Crimson Beta 17.30 Blockchain driver but it kept on crashing. Finally managed to make Crimson relive 17.7 work.

Wow - very eerie to see the exact same numbers that I came up with for my 2GB XFX RX 560's so I gave you your first merit!

How did you arrive at the rawIntensity number? I found a few bits of advice from one of the SGMiner-GM devs - OhGodAGirl - in several threads:

Quote
The formula for rawintensity is  #(CUs) x worksize x 4 - so, for a 280x, you'd have 32 x 4 x 4. That gives us 512.
Worksize of 8 can be used, but make sure to change gpu-threads to 1 then (instead of 2).

Start with calculated rawintensity then decrease by 8 to find best hashrate.

Don't ever use xIntensity. Rawintensity only.

So I started with rI of 256, worksize = 4 and gpu-threads = 2 and got fairly anemic results. Changing worksize to 8 improved hashrate, while changing gpu-threads to 1 reduced hashrate, so I went back to 2. Right then I knew the above info wasn't useful, so I decided to do a binary search to find the best rI. Since I was at 256 the next increment was 512, but that resulted in SGMiner-GM crashing soon after starting up. Next up was 384 - halfway between 256 and 512 - and that was faster than 256, so next was 416, and that was faster still, but by a much smaller margin so I felt like I was getting pretty close to the optimal setting. Turns out that was just a tad too high because the rig would still crash after a few hours so I dropped rI to 408 and it's been humming along ever since. My average hashrate isn't quite as good as yours, though - 458 H/s per card - but it's a lot better than the 330 H/s or so they delivered in stock form.

I like your systematic approach to reach these numbers. I followed slightly different calculations for building my rx 570 right. I ended up using rawintensity 896 and worksize 8 for my rx 570s. Since rx 560 uses 16 compute units (as compared to rx 570 32 units) I halved rawintensity and then reduced it until I reached optimal value which is 416. I ran my 560 for 3 straight days without error. Btw I like to restart my rig after every 24 hours automatically.

I can't get the same numbers, saphire pulse 2gb lite, elpida ram, one click patch. 440-460 h/s

I ran into the same issue with Sapphire pulse 560 4gb. Could not get over 410 h/s. So I switched to Asus 2gb card which gives 515 h/s

Hey !

I've 6x Gigabyte RX560 4gb Micron Rev2 and i'm looking for the same hrate.
Can you share a bios and the oc please ?

I've god 370h/s with SMOS and 1050/2000 OC

I would be grateful


Hey Mate, I used Polaris 1.6.6 one click patch to modify the default bios. That was it. Not sure how to share a file on bitcointalk.
My oc settings are 1130 for gpu and 1950 for memory.  Btw, I am using Windows 10 and sgminer. So not sure about SMOS.

Try mining dero with cryptonight algo.
If you need coin with purpose and more than just fork or gui wallet go for Dero,
research you coin first and read carefully the details about it.

I am personally mining dero.
DERO: Privacy + Smart Contracts + Lightning Fast Transactions, like monero + ethereum

You can use cpu to mine dero.

good, my Sapphire RX550 2G Pulse got only @470H/s, 1.4K for 3.

This is good hash rate for RX 550. What are your mem and core clock settings?

Thats pretty good for such cheap card, according to whattomine site, Nvidia GTX 1080 has result
580, and you can buy 5-6 rx550 cards for the price of one GTX 1080

Sounds good, I haven't used SG miner. Any tutorials you recommend to get it set up? Getting 420h/s on Hynix and 460h/s Micron without your modified miner.

Thanks

I do not have access to any tutorial at this point. But you can setup it very easily. All you have to do is setup a .bat file and config file. Above I have given examples  of my .bat and config file. Simply copy and paste (change wallet and pool address accordingly).

Currently getting 420h/s on Hynix. Using Awesome miner, will this increase my hash rate?

You can try using sgminer with two threads. With single thread on sgminer my speed was around 440 h/s. With two threads i was able to get 515 h/s.
