Whats the hash rate disparity between 8 and 4 GB memory on the 480 cards?

 8 GB RX 470/480 cards almost always have faster RAM (commonly 8000 Mhz effective stuff) than 4GB cards do (commonly 6600 or 7000 Mhz effective).



So it is better to buy the 8 GB version?

R9 270                180       180

180w for r9 270  i don't think so it s an 150w gpu so it s more close to 100-110 probably

and 380 it s vary a lot with model and ram, the worse i have is asus 380 4G  it does only 206mh

I am getting about the same for Gigabyte R9 270 running 12.4.
Average of 4 cards (2 under win, 2 under linux)
H/s: 175
watt: 115-120

you using 12.4?  no speed decrease ?
because i tested and 12.4 (172) is slower than 12.1 (179)

12.1 was slower for me, about 172 H/s. 
No bios mods or overclock on my cards.

Hi guys, would appreciate a little help please.

I remember the early claymore versions were using a lot of cpu power....Just wanted to know if the latest version is using much of the cpu because I want to use a celeron cpu..

Can anyone please confirm that celeron cpus are ok and if yes which ones are ok for 1150?

Also is 4gb ram enough?

Thank you.

Running 2 mobos one with a 1156 i3 and the other with a 1150 celoron. Both with 4 gigs of memory. On the 1150 uses 5% of CPU with 200 meg pages and 3 gig free phisical memory. All under win7, one home the other pro

Thanks so much for the info.....So basically the same..

Does not affect the speed of your GPUs?

What model celeron please?

A g1850 that I bought on open box sale at Fry's for $15 lol

I'm just wondering that i have two Asus Z87-Pro mobo with 7x PCI-e slots but only 6 of them are working for cards. Is there a way to make the 7th slot working?

You need to change the PCIE generation to 1.

is there any way to mine with 6 gpus in gigabyte z170x gaming 3 mobo?  5 gpus work fine, but if i attache gpu to 6'th slot then cpu not boot up.

can anyone have idea?


thanks

You might need a PCI-E 1X Jumper Wire. That usually does the trick.

any screenshot's?

What model celeron please?

I use Celeron G1840 in my rigs and I use Core i3-4160 only in 1 rig. I didn't experience any difference in mining hashrate. Claymore fixed the CPU-usage problem couple of months ago.

So you can use the cheapest Celeron for mining, everyone does that. CPU mining is not worth the investment and also the electricity cost, so you never need better CPU than the G1840.

For reference, my "big rig" triple R9 290 rig uses a Sempron 145 (single-core) CPU.
It sees the same hashrate per card on ETH/ZEC as my dual-290 rig that has a A10 7860K quad-core CPU.

 Neither ETH nor ZEC uses a lot of CPU (unless you're running an ETH older miner that generates the DAG file on the CPU, but even there it's interleaving that usage where it doesn't slow you down after the first startup).


 Folding, on the other hand, needs substantial CPU support.



Thank you for the reply.

I made a list from the beginning of this thread till now. I collected everything depending on GPU type, H/s and W. Almost all listed cards have modded bios or clocked to best Hash/Watt ratio.
I hope I got everything right and of course everybody is telling the truth Wink

listed in order of efficiency:

7950/280      290-300H/s @ 200W
7970/280X    300-310H/s @ 210W
290/390       395-400H/s @ 260W
290X/390X    400-410H/s @ 260W
Fury/FuryX   450-460H/s @ 275W
RX 470        290-300H/s @ 110W
RX 480        300-310H/s @ 90W
Nano           450-460H/s @ 175W


While Claymore performs best on Windows - the other miner performs best and stable on Linux .....  I was on Windows before but now on Linux and I ain't going back!  Grin

Hi!
Ive just created table with hashrate and power consumption for most popular amd videocards, please help me fix it.
PM me or write here if have another value(s) for any card.

Code:
Model                 Sol/sec   Power  
----------------------------------------
 7950                  285       160    
 7970M 2GB             145       100
 7970                  300       215
 7990                  600       375      
 R9 270                180       180    
 R9 280                280       200
 R9 280x               310       230    
 R9 290                340       250    
 R9 290 flash to 390   370       250    
 R9 380                230       200    
 R9 390                411       250    
 R9 390x               410       280    
 RX 460                150        60
 RX 470 4Gb            299       150    
 RX 480                300       150    
 R9 Fury Nano          450       185    
 R9 Fury X             455       225    
 R9 Fury Nitro         470       250    
Being thus the most profitable in relation to price and watts is RX 470 4Gb ?
