you don't think 10% is a bit toomuch? plus i like the electricity savings

10% it's high but there's nothing more profitable than xpm in no brain mining mode at the moment...

i don't mind donating to Claymore, you think if all my gpus will be on nofee0 ill be making more profits?

Didn't you read readme? If nofee 1, then your equipment is 25% slower.

We need to support claymore, so he could make better miner. I would like to see temp and fan control in miner.

At the moment card fans are on default, but I would like to keep them cooler with faster fan. Is there a some kind of lightweight programm for controlling multiple GPU fans and temp?! How complex is it to add to miner?

MSI Afterburner, though you cant control each fan, it controls all the fans like it was 1 fan

afterburner can control each gpu separate fans and all u need to uncheck sync gpus

Only been running for about 10 hours but wanted to report.

Running on two 7850's (I know). And an Amd Phenom II x3 710 (I know again)

First card: 4ch/h 8956 7ch/h 7.028 8ch/h .843 9ch/h .094
Seco card: 4ch/h 8978 7ch/h 5.844 8ch/h .377 9ch/h .093

I can't get the cpu to run over 26% load on any core. Maybe because it is only a 3 core.

I have 2 R9 270 and a R9 280x that I will test out in a few days when I get done on another coin.

@Claymore:

Please add getwork() protocol to miner, so we would be able for solo mining.
Again, from start I found 5 blocks for ypool ~ 45coins, while my whole earnings are less than half of it.

What happens to Ypool? disconnect after 5 seconds after entering!?

Have a very strange question! The same workers I 3X280X, how YPOOL shows 4 of 5 workers were digging?

Just wait a minute or two. It can show more workers for some time if you disconnected/closed miners hard and started again.

Yes, as Claymore said you should be making 15% more (25% more - 10% dev fee)

I found the biggest improvement in v2.0 was the CPU usage so I won't be surprised if some of those optimizations that are disabled with the no fee option is related to the CPU usage. If you have a multi-card rig where the CPU is the bottleneck, donating is kinda of a no-brainer, unless you don't mid making 15% less.

ypool is dead?

i can't connect it

This could be a good reason to at least make the miner work with other pools. Solo mining would be a nice option to add too.

Just made a chart on Excel to measure performance.

i own 15 280x.

2 rigs have 5x280 each with pentium haswell so the gpu usage wasn't too good, hope claymore can fix this for low-end cpus. the other cards are seperated between 3 rigs.

Right now i'm making 3.32XPM Per GPU Per day | 2.08XPM per Hour for all my rigs, which is not Ideal. i think that couple of my gpus are making 5+ per day and some 2- cause of the bottleneck.

nofee is on. these are all measured by confirmed xpm's, although i have 20+ unconfirmed

any results for you guys?

Yeah, turn on the fee option, it would give you atleast 15% more with easy calculation...

I have 3 rigs.

1. 3 * 280x, i5-2400 processor(3,1 GHz, 4 cores, 4 threads, 30-40% usage), 8GB ram, win7 64-bit, 13.12 and I get 119k 4ch per card.
2 and 3. 3 * 280x, amd sempron 145 (2,8 GHz, 1 core, 1 thread, 60-70% usage), 2GB ram, win7 64-bit, 13.12 and I get 79k 4ch per card.

My question/point from preavious posts was, bottleneck for rig 2 and 3 is CPU?! Is it still possible to somehow improve without buyng better processor?

Yes, it is.
You can check it by using some software and checking GPU usage.
When I use f.e. 2 cards I get higher GPU usage and higher 4-ch per card. (more than 95%)
Adding more cards makes GPU usage lower, including cards running already, and lowering their 4-ch count.
Problem has to be CPU or maybe motherboard bandwidth.

Yes, I forgot to mention it previously, I tried it shortly yesterday, result is pretty much the same. At the moment I have actually 2 cards in one rig and 3 card in other and 4ch value is pretty much same for all. So, it is kind of interesting, that amount of GPUs per CPU is not limiting speed but still there is somekind of bottleneck.

I don't have 1-core CPU, so I cannot test it. But 99% the bottleneck is 1-core CPU. If I set affinity to limit miner to 1 core on my CPU it still shows good values, but it can be because opencl kernel use other cores as well.

Try to start just one card and see 4ch/h value on it.
