nice. going to try this on my RX480. pitty my 1070s does 12.5mhs for 150w so not sure if there will be much of an uptake if power is worst

Hi sorry for reviving and old thread, But i am really curious how you were able to hit 12.5Mhs for 150w on a 1070 please. I have not been able to get close to that on 1070 ti's.

Hi,

How are you?

I am getting this error.

[15:06:42] Started sgminer 5.5.5-aeris
[15:06:42] * using Jansson 2.11
[15:06:42] Loaded configuration file sgminer.conf
[15:06:42] Specified platform that does not exist
[15:06:42] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[15:06:42] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

Try with

Code:

"gpu-platform" : "0"

Also, I recommend intensity 21 instead 22 for your RX 480

why setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

and not
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

?

This algo doesn't require huge amount of memory. Setting GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR to 1 could potentially hurt performance since memory access would require twice the number of clock cycles.

I also believe it is redundant to set this to 1 with reasonably new drivers.
I'm using GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 for at least half a year and am yet to find a miner/algo that didn't work with that on RX480 in windows 10 (and I believe I have tried almost every miner/algo for AMD available)

If anyone successfully have working this with AMD please give their details.... software ver. batch file and .conf file details.

Thanks,

I tried to PM you but you didn't configure your account to accept PMs from newbies (I'm still a newbie with this account). You can enable this in Profile -> Personal Message Options -> Allow newbies to send you PMs.

Could you try to run the miner with the following command line?

Code:

sgminer -k x17 -o pool -u user -p password --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21 2>log.txt

That will generate a log.txt file in the folder you run the command. Copy and paste the contents of that file and send it to my by PM so I can examine it.
Also, it would be helpful if you could take a screenshot and upload it to this image hosting website, and send me the link so I can have a look when the miner pauses.

New post -> upload images

Unfortunately I don't have discord or Skype accounts. Sorry.

nice. going to try this on my RX480. pitty my 1070s does 12mhs for 150w so not sure if there will be much of an uptake of power is worst

Power consumption is greatly affected by settings. My RX580 at 1200MHz@900mv core, 2050MHz memory does ~6.9MH/s drawing 100.9W measured with a clamp-on ammeter (from PSU, add ~10% from the wall).
In the other hand, my old RX470 at 1100MHz@950mv core, 1875MHz memory does 5.9MH/s drawing 98.4W.

New version v0.2:
+4% performance

Do you have plans to support/improve other algos? We miss a sgminer like tvuprot's ccminer, with a great performance for most algorithms. My AwesomeMiner have around 10 differents sgminers, one for each algorithm Lips sealed

I plan to add more algos in the future, but it will take me some time.

My test rig has both AMD and Nvidia so I had to add the platform switch. I hope this helps.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
sgminer -k x17 -o stratum+tcp://X17.mine.zpool.ca:3737 -u BTCADDRESS -p {name},c=BTC --gpu-platform 2 --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21
pause

The result are ok. 6.9mhs for 140w at the wall. not the 11.5mhs for 120w on the 1070's but might be more profitable than other algo's right now. Let hope the Pornhub news keeps verge pumping
