hello, i have msi seahawk gtx1080, pill works and getting 30mhs after i run the file and claymore. however any slight overclock (+50mhz) in afterburner makes mining crash. any advise please_ without it im able to overclock to +500 withut any issue. i understand it makes timings more agresive, however +50 crashes pc?
Please anyone feel free to correct me, but as far as i remember, you have to close all your overclock tools first (MSI afterburner, nvidia-smi, etc) then run the pill first and then run your mining software second. After those are both running smoothly, thats when you open your overclock tools and apply settings. The settings won't be the same as your max overclock settings before the pill tho. It will be slightly less so just play around with the values.
no idea if there is any "corrrect" way... but I get best stability if I apply overclocks (I use Nvidia Inspector), then run mining software, then run the pill.
I have 2 x MSI 1080 gamingX and they both seem to be fine with a +400 memory overclock, but one of them sometimes craps itself and I get screen artefacts after it's been mining for a while, but then sometimes it doesn't.
I'm using the pill to improve cryptonight-heavy hash-rate for mining Loki on the 1080s. Without the pill they do around 500h/s, with the pill 650-700h/s.
I'm also using 1070s and they will do 700h/s with or without the pill (obviously) - so the pill makes my 1080s hash nearly as well as a 1070 at a cryptonight variant. The 1070s all have +700 memory overclock.
I have also used all of these cards to mine ETH and it was a similar story - the pill made the 1080s hash around the same as my 1070s.
It is one of the coolest free releases I've ever seen and I've been mining since early 2016.
