I've noticed my hash rates recently dropped (AMD rx 580s usually at 27-28MH/s each, now down to 19MH/s each) for unknown reasons, but when I run benchmark mode the rates are back to what I was used to seeing. Is there something benchmark mode is doing that doesn't limit the cards, or is this simply just real world vs benchmark?

Do you updated you gpu drivers? Because in the lastest version you need to enable the compute config in Global Settings > GPU Workload of AMD Radeon Settings.

If you are using Blockchain drivers Aug 23, this step it's not necessary, so you have another issue.



I'm dumb forgot to set a few things in the command line  Embarrassed

hello.i m having this same issue as yours..may i know what to change to bring it back to normal..thnks..

I have the same problem. After I restart, three mining rigs drop hashrate from ~30 to ~20. Looking forward to your reply !!! Thanks.

I've been running into this as well. I've even reinstalled amd-gpu-pro blockchain and am getting the same results.

Benchmark runs gave me ~30 as normal so should not be any problems related to my local PCs. I did not do any updates, just restarting my rigs and this happens. I think this is somethings related to Claymore setups or mining server ... I am using Claymore 10.2 mining ETH and PASC with Ubuntu + Nanopool.

One of my rigs got a faulty raiser, I moved its card to the neighbor raiser, it came back in windows, but clayomore stopped working. It hangs at startup, right after cards init. Even after removal of the card I mentioned, it doesn't work anymore. Not sure what I could do. I've tried a new and fresh installation of claymore 10.3, but its all same.

Temperature and fan speed are only reporting for GPU0, but I have 8 identical RX580 GPUs.  Win 10, 17.12.2 and 17.2.1 tested.
Here's a screen shot of what I'm seeing..
Anyone else experiencing this?  Is there a fix?

I had similar issues when using either Intel GPU enabled and set as primary, or connecting to PC via RDC (not using TeamViewer). After update to latest Claymore's miners, the issue with Intel GPU has gone for me.

The reason is (probably) that miner detects the 1st graphics subsystem and gets its temps. If it is an embedded graphics, you see single card. But for mining it uses another API which does not mix AMD/NVIDIA cards with embedded graphic. So it uses all cards, but temperature may be from another source.

You may try to enable/disable on the BIOS level embedded graphics, so your primary adapter is PCIe card and no embedded GPU exist in system settings. And use real monitor instead of RDC to check. This usually helps.


I have been running with the onboard video disabled in the motherboard BIOS.  Using GPU0 as primary display in the 16x slot.   Running 10.3(.1?) and have the same issues.  Appreciate everyone trying to help.

Is there a command where the miner can disable a certain GPU automatically when the watchdog goes off? I'm getting a OpenCL hang on one of my Vega56s after about an hour but when I set -wd 0 the GPU in question is stuck at full load at 0.00Mh/s after OpenCL hang occurs.  -r 1 won't work as the restart crashes the entire system/driver and I have to resort to DDU, re-install, pixel patch everytime this happens.

@Claymore
with current version 10.3 (bug occured in version 10.2 also), with Vega64 and Vega56 cards, i get a 100% reject rate for siacoins from both nicehash and mph.  cards will benchmark fine though.
the 4XX and 5XX cards are fine and don't exhibit this problem and will have shares accepted fine.
i'm using win10 64bit.

I need to know your command line so I can do the same test.

EthDcrMiner64.exe -r -1 -mport 13333 -epool daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal imnottelling -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool sia.usa.nicehash.com:3360 -dwal stillnottelling -dpsw x -dcoin sc -dcri 40 -platform 1

i get sia rejects on miningpoolhub also, ethereum are accepted.   Only sia gets rejected on vega56/64 cards

i get the rejects with blockchain drivers and with 17.12.2 drivers (also 12.11.x drivers) for the vega cards.

the 4xx and 5xx cards are fine.

You are correct, I see this issue, at least with latest drivers. It worked in past, so perhaps the reason is drivers. Need more time to investigate it, I will release an update soon.

You have to go to your AMD Radeon Setting/Global Setting/ and DISABLE CROSSFIRE option.
Then, you will see all 8 temp and fan reported on the screen.

They are in 'compute' mode which disables crossfire.  I don't even see the crossfire option in radeon settings after switching to compute.

Thanks for trying to help.

Does anybody know what a r9 390 hashrate is on stock settings?

30Mhash. Not affected by epoch.

Thank you for fast reply. Do you think the r9 390 is more profitable than the gtx 980? Smiley


I am running 2xR9 390 Asus Strix OC Gaming 8gb. Stock ( GPU Clock at 1050MHz and Memory Clock at 1500MHz) at 30MH/s. If you tune with Afterbuner, can achieve 31MH/s with 1100MHz and Memory Clock at 1500MHz. Did not try to go higher cos I want to keep temp below 75deg. Only issues with the R9 390 is temp max at about 75deg and wall power consumption is about 300W.
Hashrate is definitely higher than the GTX980. What is the hashrate for GTX980?

Are you running stock clocks? Also thanks for the reply. I know GTX 980 got lower hashrate in Ethash however if we consider zcash how much does r9 390 make there?

Did not try mine ZCash. I mine only Ethereum. My R9 390 running at 1100MHz (stock 1050MHz) and Memory Clock at stock 1500MHz.

@Claymore, did you look at the Parity stratum mode? I remember it was expected to be implemented in future updates. Now more ETHash coins are coming which can be mined solo until difficulty increases. Would be good to have stratum mode for Parity.

what other coins ?
To name some, ELLA and PIRL both use ETHash and they recently were pumped a lot. Still they are on the top of WhatToMine list.

I mined ELLA solo with great success (they provide config file for Parity node, so it was matter of minutes to install binary to my small ARM-based board and have a working node).

Another example was Intense Coin (ITNS) using CryptoNote (CryptoNight) algo. I mined it for a couple of days using Claymore's miner with my small farm when it was around 10-20 satoshi. And it resulted 1.5 months later in few thousand USD being pumped to 700 sats... And it's just a beginning, since ITNS is only (yet) on a single small exchange. But they have a promising roadmap.

It is expected to see more coins based on ETHash. While not all have bright future, they still can be used to mine early and then HODL and sell in few months. It usually makes 1000-10000% profit if you are an early bird :-)
