All my rigs now on v3
5 x MSI R9-390 (stock clock/1040/1500)
Celeron 1840/8Gb RAM/Win 8.1
Mining at ethermine.org (ETH) and zpool.ca (DCR)
ETH - Total Speed: 149.561 Mh/s, Total Shares: 687, Rejected: 0, Time: 05:18
ETH: GPU0 29.927 Mh/s, GPU1 29.914 Mh/s, GPU2 29.887 Mh/s, GPU3 29.910 Mh/s, GPU4 29.922 Mh/s
DCR - Total Speed: 2243.409 Mh/s, Total Shares: 953, Rejected: 78
DCR: GPU0 448.905 Mh/s, GPU1 448.716 Mh/s, GPU2 448.309 Mh/s, GPU3 448.652 Mh/s, GPU4 448.827 Mh/s
Notes:
1. no improvements on DCR rejects, from 8-9% to 7-8% -- could be a pool issue...
2. stock clock, no OC - delivers nearly 30mhs per card for ETH
3. GPU temps, low 70s from mid-70s
Cant wait for the solo mining version!

I found a way to lower memory clocks with MSI Afterburner, even when this feature is disabled in AMD driver, so, we need:
...................
Weird....................
I usually enable Unofficial overclocking "without PowerPlay" and then I can change clocks up&down.
The problem is - if I stop the miner card clocks are stuck at those set in Afterburner (eg cards not downclocking to 2d clocks)
And if somethinmg goes wrong with saved settings - PC hangs.... one must go to safe mode and disable Afterburner
Didn't work for me, so I wrote what helped in my case.
P.S: AMD Driver version 15.12

True.. Theres a folder (profiles) in afterburner setup dir.. Delete that and you're set :-)

If you check unofficial oc and disable ulps and without powerplay you can still oc or dc.. I gave this info over at ethereum forum with pictures..
However you cannot lower memory voltage, which will still be at stock.
It will consume less though and you will be able to hit better timings.
After you done these steps, hit apply with a new clock your screen will go black for a sec and you'll know it works :-)
So yes this is the best way to downclock.
You can aswell add flags to the afterburner shortcut.
F.e. /w24 .. Etc..
This will as well give you more options to go even deeper..
Anyhow. Best results are obtained with a hardmod :-)
Trust me i've spent countless hours trying to find my optimal settings :-)

I found a way to lower memory clocks with MSI Afterburner, even when this feature is disabled in AMD driver, so, we need:
1. Run MSI Afterburner and check that "Unofficial Overclocking Mode" is currently DISABLED
2. Set desired memory clock setting (for each card if they're different in your rig) and hit apply, save these settings at the first profile and check "apply overclocking at system startup" box. Now, if you run GPU-Z, you'll see lowered clocks at the "Graphics Card" tab, but if you check "Sensors" tab, you'll see that memory clocks remain the same, nothing has been lowered actually.
3. OK, go back to MSI Afterburner, go to Settings and ENABLE "Unofficial Overclocking Mode" without PowerPlay feature and hit OK. Now your system should restart automatically.
4. When everything booted up, you should accept terms and agreement in the popup window, and then you can check with GPU-Z, your memory clocks are really lowered now to the numbers you've entered with Afterburner earlier and will not raise to factory settings until you want it.
5. ATTENTION! After these manipulations you won't be able to do any over/downclocking with MSI Afterburner actually, if you want so, you'll need to disable Unofficial Overclocking Mode and restart your system, but in this case memory downclocking will be lost.
Worked on each of my rigs (have 12 of them), each of them have the same card models onboard (but different manufacturers), especially tried on 290x and 390x.
Gald if this will help somebody.

wow nice info, did you gain lowered temps and power usage by doing this ? what mem clocks do you have now for your 290x and 390x cards ? and what is the new hash rate
Currently I'm running at 800 Mhz memory for 290x rigs and 650 Mhz for 390x rigs, I've chosen these settings based on memory controller load (lower the clocks - higher the load), temps lowered a bit (1-3 degrees Celsium for each card), haven't check the power usage yet, but hashraste increased up to +1,5 MH from each card, I think worth it.

Hello Claymore.
Planned version for Linux?

Can you port it to linux, too.

Hi, Claymore, thanks for great work. Same question... linux version planned? or no?

On My 7970 ( 1000\1500 ) - 20.5 Mh\s
Genoil 1.0.5\7 or Claymore D. v3 ( Ethereum-only mining ) can`t increase 20.5
What settings need change to improve Mh\s ?

Up from 66.5 mh/s to 70mh/s with 1 x 7970 and 2 x 7950 single mining Eth.
Hi, im using the same cards , 2x 7950 and 1x7970 , but i get only 62mh ... Can you tell us your configs and card cloks please ? Up from 66.5 mh/s to 70mh/s with 1 x 7970 and 2 x 7950 single mining Eth.

Serious improvement on every card except my nano's.
So 280x's, 290's, 290x's, 390's and 390x's went up, and very nicely!
Nano's, no difference. Edit: Even worse. Exact same settings, lost 2mh eth and 200-300 Mh dcr.
Great job none the less!
Keep it up Claymore!

I use Sapphire Trixx to downclock my memory to 150 Mhz which also increases hashrate due to tighter timings.
Using 15.7.1 and Trixx? Are You sure it's underclocked? Checked in Trixx card info or GPU-Z?
April 20, 2016, 02:47:06 AM
just got my R9 295x2, gonna test it with this miner now. 
My 390x went from 26 to 30.5 mh/s

I'm testing this version at the moment and I have this little problem.
On a rig with 4 x 290x, when I start the miner it hashes with 115 Mh/s and then in a matter of seconds it drops to 107 Mh/s.
Apparently it starts with around 29 Mh/s for every card, and drops all but the one that has the monitor cable plugged in, to 26 Mh/s.
I'm using ETH only mode.
Any tips how to fix this ?

Can someone please explain me how ethereum forks mining works? Is it possible to mine eth, dcr and exp all at the same time? Will fork mining be profitable?
April 20, 2016, 12:58:23 AM
Tested 3.0, looking good. Increase on 7950/7970/280x/290/290x/390x for me.
Back to ethminer, however; looking forward to the solo version of this miner.
