Latest version v12.0:

- improved speed, about 405H/s on stock 390X, 450H/s on stock Nano, 290H/s on stock 280X, 295H/s on stock RX480.

can you please point out what drivers and what OS are you using to measure these?
in my win7 64 and latest AMD drivers i don't see those numbers unless i OC my cards!

It also depends on your GPU manufacturer/memory/model.
My hardware/software:

390X MSI GAMING 8G. "-i 8" option.
Fury Nano PowerColor (with "-powlim 50" option). "-i 7 option".
280X (don't remember details).
Windows 7, drivers 15.12.

RX480 Sapphire Nitro+ 8G. "-i 8 option".
Windows 7, drivers 16.12.2.

Note that in some cases you may need to reduce "-i" value if your rig has a lot of GPUs and/or not enough RAM/swap size.

People are having stability problems caused by unstable power supplies. Claymore could you miner monitor the GPU supply voltage? I would be nice to warn people when it drops bellow 11.3V and display an errror when it drops bellow 11.0V.

My 290x with server power supplies @ 12.24V show 11.64V in GPUZ. It seems GPUZ is measuring the voltage after some protection diode ( 0.7V voltage drop ). Since ATX spec allow 12V rail down to 11.5V, so 11.5V-0.7V = 10.8V.

The GPU supply voltage could also be used to tweak the mining intensity and GPU clock.

Hi. What is your rig config ?

I switched back to ver 11.1 because of stability, i tried lowering intensity, clock and increase voltage but no success.
the interesting point was the crashed gpus (390) did not work normal even after windows restart, they were hashing around 40 sols where other gpus did 380.
so i was forced to uninstall and reinstall gpu in device manager.

The V12 speed is very nice. But the stability is minimal.

Since V12 it seems to run for 3+ hours and then the computer starts rebooting in 5-15 cycles... and then it ran for 45 minutes and then for over an hour again... weirdness

v 12 needs alot of CPU, normally i could run -8 now just -5

more sols still but i think theres CPU leak somewhere

Woah

Between v11.1 and v12.0 i'm getting a huge hash drop. With 11.1 i'm getting ~205H on my R9 290. When I just fired up the v12.0 i'm only getting ~69-~75H. Am I missing something? I just checked 11.1 again and it's fine so it is definitely something in 12.0 :S..hmm.

Well maybe you're missing some overclocking stuff here? Have you checked the start file and the driver configuration?

I guess something is wrong with your configuration of inner features of miner, such as undervolting using miner directly. Or maybe you're over-clocking too much which is hard to handle for the newer version because of its optimization.

Nope, not overclocking or undervolting at all. Everything is stock. Lowering the intensity does help but it is still much slower than 11.x without any extra settings.

Your 11.1 config is not ok. 200h/s is really low for a 290, it should be 260-300h/s with stock bios, 350+h/s with 390x bios. 290x @ 1075mhz do 400h/s.

Have you tried using DDU to remove Radeon drivers and installing 15.12? Most problems are fixed by removing and installing drivers. Have you checked the temperatures? Have you check the voltages?

I have lots of 290/290x working 24/7 with v11.1 and now v12.0. v12.0 does not like undervolting the GPU and some cards needed to be slowed down from 1100MHz to 1075MHz.

Yes, of course, thats right! Stock BIOS reference 290 @ 1000 MHz can at least do 320 H/s with v12. Don't remember the values for v11.1 but the difference for sure was not 60%.

I think lowering the intensity (-i) will cure your problem. Aggressive settings from v11.x do not work with every card type under v12.

Here is some information for some of you that may help in determining Electric Cost, Profitability and ROI (return on investment) instead of using some of those automatic calculators online. Just substitute your values for the values given below:

Base Information:
Cost for the Rig: $1628.07
Gross Profit per day: $7.42
Usage: 900W at the wall

Calculation for Daily Power Usage and Cost of Electricity:
Electric Cost = $0.12 cents per KW
900W / day = .900KW
.900KW x 24hrs = 21.60KW
21.60KW x $.12 = $2.59 per day for the cost of running .900KW of electric.

Net Profit:
$7.42 Gross Profit - $2.59 Electric = $4.83 per day
$4.83 x 30 days per month = $144.90 per mo

ROI:
$1628.07 Cost of Rig / $144.90 Net Profit = 11.24 months ROI

REMEMBER: "It's about the Profit; Don't get Lost in the Challenge."

I hope this helps someone

nice post. People talk about power cost but forget the most important ROI. Most miners will never recover the investment in particular if buying brand new cards. I like to keep the ROI at 3 to 4 month. One year is a lifetime in cryptocurrency

You better just write down your equipment bills ( with dates ), electricity bills ( with dates ) and withdrawals ( with dates ) ( fiat or coins ) so you will know exactly.
I add to that all sells ( yes, with dates )...

i actually started a spreadsheet along these lines. just looked up difficulty and price per coin every few days and plugged the values in.

already made roi so it just helps to figure out what to hodl vs what to put towards electric and or more gear.

Been mining for a few months now and I have been experimenting with different settings.
Due to unstable wifi net in my office, where the landlord pays for the power

I have ordered a 4G smart router with a 8GB limitation per month, to take over when the network is unstable.

Does anybody know how much traffic a hashrate produces?
I am ming with approx 2.5K sols/s and I wonder how far I will get.

Not actually understanding the difficulty setting (Noob)... I am wondering if you can use the setting -zpsw x to increase or decrease the amount of traffic on you line.

Thanks

mining consumes very small traffic. 30mb/day (maximum)
