One AMD RX 480, 8GB
About 304 H/s



Does that RX480 have a 256 bit or 512 bit bus?

It has 256 bit  bus. So it is slower than R9 390.

For reference, my AMD 290x's top out at 373 H/s per gpu. 12.3, asm 1, intensity needs to be around 6. Anything else and it diminishes significantly.

say please setting and drivers
You need to flash 390x bios to have these speeds!

Can the same be done for 380x?

You can modify the bios on the 380x but the main issue is the 256bit Memory bus. The 390s have 512bit Memory bus. Overall Tonga (380s) are weak for ZEC. That being said you should use your 380s for ETH because you can get between 22MH/s and 24MH/s. Currently I have a Powercolor R9 380 running at 24.7MH/s on ETH. Also one reason some cards do better than others of the same model is the memory type the cards have. Samsung and Hynix are excellent for overclocking, Elpida not soo much.

Thank you for this very insightful post!

Great miner !! Very stable 12.3  15 RIGs  - 6x390 .
All work well !! core 1100, mem 1500
400~408h/s per card
I have a question not to claymore . Why 3 of my rigs need a dongle or monitor to start after restart or power on, other 12 don't need
Ty again !!!

Hello,



When i try to launch my 5 cards remotely only 1 starts

They do work if i do it directly from the pc.


Is the a command i could use to fix this?



 
You can't use RDP, you need teamviewer
Chrome Remote Desktop works pretty well for anyone who uses Chrome..


Ok thanks good to know maybe i'l try that

But the funny thing is i have another rig also with 5 cards and it starts fine remotely using RDP    Smiley

I even took a video the other day of my hash rate and watts at the wall!

I am using 3x Radeon Pro Duo's

- 15.12 is not compatible.
- 16.3.2 Windows will work with 2 cards and miner too. When the 3rd is installed, the pc will BSOD in a loop with error [System Thread Exception Not Handled (atikpmag.sys)]
- 16.10 all cards will show in windows, miner will hash @ 0
- 17.3.1 all cards will show in windows, miner will crash after launching.

Any suggestions ? thanks in advance !

What mobo? Can you try 16.11.5?

I'm really interested to know cause I'm thinking of sticking 3 pro duo cards in a tower case in the office, but haven't selected the mobo yet...

For Pro Duo it's only 16.3.2 Your problem is not driver related I suppose, try proper mobo, or clean win10 install.

For the price of the Duo you could have had 3 x 6 card RX470 rigs. that is +5000Sol/s vs 2800. Not even counting advantage of the lower power cost.

@TheRider : Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION. Will try 16.11.5
@omshree : Tried that.
@Etherion : True when assuming i bought it for 1,500USD. You can buy it for half the price direct from XFX. The main goal was compact rig with lowest noise.


@TheRider : Nope, no go.   16.11.5 has the same behavior as 16.10.
2x cards work in windows but miner has 0 hash, add 3rd card and will get BSOD loop till removed.

Issues with Version 12.3:
- Some rigs will not run all GPUs since v12.0.  With 12.0 and later, some GPUs report 0.00H/s rate.  One of rigs has 7990, only uses one core.  Have not tried 12.3 version on this unit, it runs 12.0 fine. 

- Option -di detect will run very long time on a couple rigs.  Would love to know a procedure to do this manually by switching GPUs on and off.  How to map default GPU order to -di GPU order?  This is an issue because miner will reduce intensity on the wrong card, leaving the hot card to keep getting hotter and eventually stop or crash the rig.  Does the ordering need to be recalculated for different versions?

Linux rigs seem more stable than Wndows rigs.

Thanks for a great miner.

yes i found similar problems

went back to oldest drivers but i also found 1 riser had failed! I also shifted a few cards around just to see what would happen and seemed to fix it

all my 7990's are hashing with new version perfectly for nearly 12hrs+

most of my rigs are mixed cards....one 290x, one HD 7990, and a few 280x's as well on each one, 5-6 GPU's in total

good luck, they DO work and i had similar issues, so there is light for you my 7990 friend

Did you increase the intensity of the 280X to 6 from 5?

I wonder why your 290x (373 h/s does so much more than my 380x (193 h/s)..... Huh  I need some different vid cards lol.

290X has more processor cores and higher memory bandwidth.
