Topic: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 - page 229. (Read 2145076 times)

work fine with 14.9 drivers?

I didn't add anything, so the default is -a 0. My pool.bat is just "NsGpuCNMiner.exe -u _____ -p ______"

Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 280X VAPOR-X  (Elpida memory)

GPU 1030/1500 memory..

I'm remote to the location so I would need to talk someone through flashing it, the trixx program doesn't let me bring the voltage down any further, could get more out of it tbh.

Do you use -a 3 or 4?

Which card, what is your frequency?

Claymore v8.0
Windows 7 Pro w/ 14.6 beta-may 23
Sapphire HD7950 Dual-X 87% ASIC
GPU 900 / Memory 1250 / 0.925 mV

Getting 453 h/s after 1 hour with all default settings.

claymore 6.1 works better than 8.0 on windows 8.1. speed decreased for me a lot, also looks like temps are lower too.

edit: after I restarted my machines it works better!
-a3 works almost the same as -a4(~3% difference) on 270x, naturally it consumes  less power, and less heat.

claymore 8.0
270x -a3 375hs @ 1030/1000

I haven't hit tune mode or anything, going to leave it running 24 hours and see what happens.

I don't have such cards here so I cannot investigate it deeply, but if you have 2GB and it does not help - it means that card cannot use entire memory bandwith, too few computing units for that. If so, it's useless to use "-h" parameter, miner will select optimal value automatically.

I tried to 2Gb cards all possible values of the parameter h. And compared with 1Gb cards only in the negative (or 0 difference)

I got some good results on my 6950 1GB with -h 512 -a 4 sorry -h 480 -a 3 (win 7). It's  266 H\s (8.0) vs 146 H\s (6.1) before! And even for 5870 1GB 210 H\s vs 115 H\s.

But for 6770 1GB and win 8.1 i have no luck

Btw i also have no luck with R9 290 on Win 8.1, so i think it's some sort of OS problem, cause every rigs with win 7 increasing hashrate (R9 270, 7850, 6950, 5870 and very little on 7950)

You need to set HashCnt > 512 to see the difference, but you cannot do it because of 1GB. Therefore, no speedup for 1GB cards.

The size of the memory is not playing seems to be no difference between

Try "-a 4".
NOTE: 1GB cards cannot show good results anyway and in most cases you will not see any improvements.

Same card, can you enhance its output or it has reached its maximum? 

I also cannot get more on 7970. I am using -a 3. That is most efficient for me. If I use -a 4, there is about 5% increase, but the power also increase 5%.

Powercolor HD7850 2Gb

GPU #0: name: Pitcairn, 2048 MB available, 16 units

385 h/s @ 1050/1250 -a 4 -h 512

-li 1 makes windows smooth.. speed still the same ^^

Start miner for 1-2 minutes and PM me the log file.

280x - 485 h/s Hynix
270x - 406 h/s

Very strange that I can't get more on 280x

Miner does not set optimal "-h" and "-a" options for many cards. It's because I don't have all cards here. Post first 20-30 log lines here so I can see how many compute units your card has and what's its name. Use "m" key to adjust "-h" value, or try to change "-h" values directly if OpenCL crashes.
This version requires some time to find optimal settings.
Everyone can post optimal "-h" and "-a" values for your cards here (and also card name as it is displayed and number of compute units), I will use this data to improve miner. Right now it knows only 290x,280x,270x and 6950 cards.
