got my hands on a few furys nanos , what hash rate do those get ?

I mined with this on one of our gaming rigs (with R9 Fury X) and it got around 7 Mh/s on x16s at stock clocks and 50% power limit. I don't remember what it was on xevan, but I can check it for if you like.

nice , why the low power limit tho ?

Nice work, good to see some love for AMDs, the hash rate is improving nicely after every release!

Thank You! Guys I got it fixed. It was an OpenCL problem, was nothing to do with the miner, just didn't realize that my gpuz was missing the opencl checkmark, now is fixed and mining flawlessly, thank you brianmct for providing a miner for the g'old AMD Troopers.  Grin

If your mobo has a integrated iGPU that is active you probably need to specify what platform to use, like the Troubleshoot wiki says by adding :
Code:
--gpu-platform 1
to your bat/sh file.

Ideas after you config file. And what GPU model?


sgminer.exe -k x16r -o stratum+tcp://us.ravenminer.com:5678 -u myrvnwallet -p worker1  -X 256 (also tried -X 64 same result)

This is a fresh Win10 install updated, redist installed, blockchain drivers XFX Core Black RX580 brand new out of the box with stock bios, installed in the pcie 16x slot...
1st. add
Quote
--log-file log-x16r.txt
after -X256 and look inside when starting miner.
2nd. the miner must compile a kernel for you GPU its may be more than 2-3 minutes up to 5. see  log-x16r.txt
3rd. try without -X256.
And  why you use blockchain drivers? it's does not matter but why? new adrenalin drivers is good performance and more flexible with playing with voltage and overclocks(for me).


Already did in my first post and this is what I got:

[23:17:04] Started avermore 1.4.0
[23:17:04] * using Jansson 2.7
[23:17:18] Started avermore 1.4.0
[23:17:18] * using Jansson 2.7
[23:19:09] Started avermore 1.4.0
[23:19:09] * using Jansson 2.7
[23:19:13] Started avermore 1.4.0
[23:19:13] * using Jansson 2.7


Also tried new Adrenalin drivers, removed the X256... with "pause" as per example.bat gives me: Press any key to continue... if I hit any key just closes and without the "pause" simply closes down.

Thank you for your time helping me on this Kaezar

What wrong with xevan for vega's GPU?

People trying to run xevan on Vega's were reporting hardware errors and no submitted shares. It's probably an issue with the new clang-based OpenCL compile stack for Vega cards miscompiling the kernels, but I don't have a Vega card of my own to test it on to try to fix the issue.
How much time you need to understand situation with Vega's if you got a Vega?

I cant run Avermore


Avermore immediately closes after running the startup script
If you have an integrated or Nvidia GPU, you might need to set the OpenCL platform to AMD by setting --gpu-platform=N to 1 or 2
You need to install the MSVC 2017 x86 redistributables if you don't have it installed.
Try changing the set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 to set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 or vice-versa in your run script.


Tried all that, log txt:

but im not paying any damn fee until its atleast competitive with a 1060 for the rx series

It already is competitive - you get 6-8 Mh/s with a Rx 570-580 and the same for a GTX 1060 3GB-6GB.  

an 8gb 580 is a slight more powerful card than a 1060
with good mem straps and oc a 580 should be like 9 imo

Why dont u optmize the kernals and provide performance within 80 % at least of a 1070 or 100% on par with a 1060 before charging a 2% fee

Are you kidding ? If it was that easy, there will be several X16 / X17 miners available. When you work on something and people make money with, you deserve to get paid.

Thanks, but that's not my question, i'd like to know the hashrate of RX 570 with an ETH bios.

6-8 mh/s
thats like the speed of a 1060 for comparison
1070s get 11mhs and 1070ti like 15

these amd miners need a fully rebuilt and optimized kernel not just a copy paste

you amd miners paying a fee to mine at the same speed as a 1060 need to stop and got mine xmr
 and buy raven if you have to lol

An Rx 570 is comparable to a GTX 1060 as a lower end/mainstream gaming video card. A GTX 1070 is a whole market level higher, both for gaming and mining.


heck no, not on pricing and the performacr on other algos, and what about the 8gb 580s 7 to 8 mhs on raven
is total trash when it can get 32 mhs eth , 950 on xmr

vs 24 max and 500 max for the 1060 6gb card which doesn’t eveb have and 8gb variant.

the 1070 might be higer end but there is a reason 570 and 580s cost $100 more (8gb) than the 1060s.

32 cores vs 36 cores for the 570 580 comparison is not much of a difference.  My 570s nitros havecthe same memory as the 580s and within 1% of the same hash rates given the same clocks or memory straps

face it these coppied x16 kernels are trash , better to mine eth or xmr for now with kernels that were designed for Opencl

The cheapest 6 GB GTX 1060s on newegg are about the same price as the cheapest 4GB RX 580s and about $25 less then the 8Gb RX 480 --- a difference, but not $100 at this point in time.  The GTX 1070 is scarce even at $500 so it's pointless to be comparing it to a RX 580 let alone a Rx 570 right now.

I agree with you that the AMD RX series does "better" on Ethhash, I disagree with comparing video cards from completely different price segments.  Anyways, we aren't mining Ethhash, Cryptonight7, or X16r on our remaining AMD rigs now as there are more profitable options for daily gains.
thats all Im saying, with the current state of 16x mining its pointless to mine x16 vs other opencl options since the kernels are optimized.  I get the op is trying to fix this but charging a fee for software that is not even fully developed
seems scammy.

Why dont u optmize the kernals and provide performance within 80 % at least of a 1070 or 100% on par with a 1060 before charging a 2% fee

Reread the OP - it's a 1% not 2% fee and if you don't feel this miner is worthwhile then consider that no software is ever "fully developed" and the x16 series might be the only algos that will remain unexploited by FPGAs and ASICs in 2018. AMD cards could be worthless for mining in the next few months if not for a broader range of mining support outside of Ethash and CN.
1% is better than 2% but still high imo, amd will always be kings of xmr
so I xmr will always be am option for amd, it would be nice to have a good xr16 miner for amd
but im not paying any damn fee until its atleast competitive with a 1060 for the rx series
