Does mining speed depend on CPU-speed / RAM-speed / RAM-size?

yes something is wrong with your 280x settings. i get 1500 h/s with my 4 280x. 1070/1600

Hello,
After the update will not support 14.6 BETE drive?

what are you talking about? iam useing 14.6 beta drivers on my gb 280x rig, given the elpida memory so far it seems more stable then 13.12..... its just alittle slower H/S wise but the miner still works.


I might be just lucky, but I am seeing an improvement (about 20mh/s). I have a PowerColor 280x 14.6 beta drivers. It is overclocked (just has it has always been) to Core-1100 Mem-1500. Running super stable 290-300 h/s.





280X and OC and ONLY 290-300H/s?
I got with 270X OC to 1180 - 1500

small update with the gb 280x's x2 built with elpida memory... still running stable useing 14.6 beta drivers, now the speed has stabilized it works out at about 50h/s per card lost so instead of about 630-650 combined its now 550h/s at stock clocks, i have uped the OC to 1200/1500 to achieve 599h/s so nearly 300 per card under heavy OC..... despite the heavy OC still stable...
so far driver 13.12 produces higher speeds of around 630-650h/s but is unstable and drops gpu's randomly, where as driver 14.6 beta seems to lower the speed alot, comparable to a mid range cpu and produces 550h/s and appears to be more stable. the speed issue could be due to you cant use gpu_max_allocate on 14.6 drivers causeing the miner to enter bad performance mode. Might be something to look into claymore, maybe rebuild the miner to work better with the newer driver as it seems to have better stability on the more poorer built cards... eg the ones that use elpida memory.....

So I left my 2 rigs running overnight last night but I when I woke up, I got this error and the miner stopped:

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DEVFEE CONNECTION. MINING STOPPED.

Any ideas how this error can be resolved? I have already checked and my WiFi connection is perfectly fine on both rigs.

Had the miner on last 2 days with 3x 290 no problems at all.

I have 8gb ram and I've not specified any GPU allocation nor page file size.

what driver version and what brand of card and brand of memory on the gpu's

13.12, Gigabyte reference with elpida on all of them

driver 14.6 beta seems to yield more stable results so far, useage does not seem to bounce around anymore, how ever it yields lower hash rates.... about 50H/S lower then 13.12 drivers on dual card setup so 25H/S loss per card at stock clocks. gpu max allocate seems to have no affect on newest version of drivers weather its set at 80 or 100 and even set to run via cmd prompt, seems to not register on the miner and it enters bad performance mode.

i can mine for only 10-20 minutes, keep saying gpu memory allocation error.

plz help.

Tried, set Virtual memory to 16 GB+.

miner  claymore v 2.2
5 * r9 280x
windows 8.1
13.12 amd catalyst driver

plz fix

You don't need exactly a pagefile 16 g +.
Opencl allows use to only 2 g of the video card.
Windows occupies the pagefile as a mirror of RAM.
I mean if you are running only Windows occupied RAM is example from 500g to 1g , miner for 2 cards gets 1 g for Windows + 2x2g for each of cards, or a total of 5 g.
Leave a spare 2 g.
In other words, 8 g pagefile are sufficient for a machine with 2 video cards and 4g RAM.
This amount will increase proportional if you increase the number of cards as forecast a 2 g for each card.
Try and see Smiley
Too big amount of pagefile may have negative effect, decrease performance of system.

The 2.2 version works on 6970 with 2GB ram, returning 120h/s
But it seems GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT  doesn't work  - the program always allocates the max 2048MB of memory. It has same behaviour on 290 - no matter the number i enter for alloc_percent it always allocates 2560MB

And if I may to say: there is nothing so special in Catalyst 13.12. I install latest drivers and didnot loose even one hash/sec... So if someone has problems with 13.12 then tray later version...

Not so accurate...with my 290 I see a big big difference, because of the memory allocation bug of opencl.
