@claymore
When using gpu-z to check card usage it shows 2.1gb dedicated memory being used..
Now my question is if the cards got 4gb of ram can we do something to utilise the rest of the ram? Im sure there is loads more you can optimise to utilise the whole gpu efficiently?
Btw the cards r9 nano.

Rx480 8gb use only 1.7gb of the 8gb ram... Hmmmmm

So my first post, and I'm going to explain what I have and what I am using. A couple of things I have seen, not really a problem but would like advice and maybe a bug or two that are probably known but thought I would mention them I would appreciate feedback but not if it is to troll me.

I was running Claymore Version 10

I am running a 7 card rig (5 - R9 Fury's (4gb) and 2 Fury X (4gb) on a on a MSI Z97 Mobo.
Running dual power supply's one 1200w (2 X's and 1 R9) one 1600w (everything else)
Dual Core intel, 8gb ram 128gb SSD HD

And just so that I can feel the love,I will tell you this "I pay ZERO for power!"

I was pulling 2560 average with ranges normal ranges from 2480 to 2733. Each Fury X is doing 386 to 397 (the occasional 400) and the R9 Fury's pulling 330 to 361 (the 330 is the main video out to monitor, when I turn it off it goes to the 350's) running on intensity 7

**Not wanting to setup a wallet on a different machine I installed a Virtualbox for Ubuntu. Now the amazing thing I discovered here is that when running the VM for wallet deposits I take a 200 sol to 250 sol hit the entire time the VM is running.... does anyone else see this? do you run your wallet and rig on the same machine? if you do and you shutdown the VM, do you see a performance increase?

When I do -fanmin and set a parameter of say 50, I see a 5 to 12 sol performance hit... Since noise and power useage isn't an issue, suggestions?

-mclock doesn't appear to work. When I set it for my Fury X's I get a unable to configure when it launches. Known issue or possible fix?



Since writing this above I have now updated, but I wanted to include my original Ver. 10 settings

Running Claymore Version 11 (now)
Win 10 (64b)
Catalyst 15.12
-i 8
running with ASM on
1 Nitro R9 Fury (monitor) @ 356 , goes up to 380 when I turn the monitor off
4 Nitro R9 Fury's @ 389/392
2 Nitro R9 Fury X @ 419/422

Ran for 18 hours no restarts!
My constant average is 2746, I have seen peaks slightly over 3000, drops to the 2400's but mostly stays 2700-2800

I went to check on it because my average dropped to 2600, log file was over 70 mb's, stopped and restarted claymore, and SOL's were very bad - 70-90....  restarted system and everything went back to normal, see screenshot.

Does anyone see any performance hits with large log file? Should I set up a system reboot every 8-10 hours?

Thanks for you time, and I am glad to have joined this elite group of pioneers!


Anything with a graphic user interface is going to take away from your GPU's, just turning off the monitor will boost your hashrate a little, not to mention save about 30 watts for those of us who pay for power.

Will the new update of the miner be today?  Smiley

No. I plan to release it tomorrow, need to check different drivers to improve compatibility.

And Linux version tomorrow?

v11.0:
..........
Linux version will be available later.

How much to wait? A year, two?
AS i think it's more difficult to make the linux version, but i notice that on linux my card has lower temp lower fan's %)
You got me wondering, how does the Watt/Sol  compare between linux and windows. Normally cooler=less wattage, is this true with Claymore's Linux versions?

I have done nothing to conserve power. It seems like the top end of the hashrate is no more expensive than the lower end on the rx480 8gb. I can see it with a 10-15.00 coin like Eth, but wont there be some powermizers contemplating suicide when zec pumps to 100.00+ in a few months?

I don't sell any zec that was valued under 45.00 when the block paid. Could be me getting screwed in a few months, but seems like I have better than 50/50 chance at good profits, if/no hackers...

Zcash v 11 is doing quite good.

Undervolted 4 x cards I get 1046 H/s and 360 watts at the wall.

It's not needed he uses Watttool

GPU 1180
Memory 1750
both running at 904MV

true that. I never go above 1180MHz for the core on the last phase and it's never over 925mv.
btw memory read intensive dagger-hashimoto doing fine on 850mv (total power from these 6 is below 920W in dual mining)

eth only is 816W:

 
Excellent settings. Thank you, boys. I am now graphics cards cloks 1180 GPU, 2100 GDDR5 RAM, - 48 mV, power limit +0. I now have 6 x 250 Sol / s = 1500 Sol / s and the power consumption is 880 W (measured by energy meter).

there r no extra cores to unlock on 290x/390x

correct, just run the cuinfo. just investigating if the 290x can run as a 390x as is claimed

Card #2 PCI ID: 1002:67B0 - 1787:2342
DevID [67B0] Rev [00] (0), memory config: 0x500013A9 Elpida
Hawaii-class chip with 11 compute units per Shader Engine
SE1 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE2 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE3 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE4 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
44 of 44 CUs are active. HW locks: 0 (R/O) / SW locks: 0 (R/W).

yes as they are the same just 390x comes stock with 8gb ram and a bit better power optimizations and higher default clocks
but yes u can use either or bios depending on card pcb and there are 8gb 290x's

mine is the powercolor first reference with 4 gig. Can I still do it?

from the above u have elpida ram which is slower than hynix just use the bios from the modded thread from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacked-modified-memory-strap-bios-database-for-zec-mining-1676474 since u have a ref like u said scrol to the bottom and use those set clocks to whatever keeps the temp 75c or lower and mem to 1450 depending on how good those elpidas r u might get a stable 1475 on the ram

I have it running stable at 1110/1440 @80C. will be buying the ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III cooler. They say it helps both with the temp and mostly noise. Staying at a hotel and the noise is really a problem lol

that doesnt matter when u run a modded ram timings as what is done is the timings used on lower clocks are set to the higher giving u better speed at higher clocks than norm but can also reduced total speed u could do before on stock bios like ram on a pc if u set tight timings u wont oc as much

got it running at 335, not bad for a $70 craigslist card :-)

at NO stage it goes above this peak (760W) 2*480 + 4*470



Are the settings for the GPU Aftherburner / TriXX "military secret, strictly confidential," so you did not show them?

i have 1 of these and its a great psu for a multirail design u can find them around 100 sometimes on ebay this is about max what u can draw from 1 120v socket

LEPA G1600-MA ATX12V 1600W Gold PSU
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=283
^Wow... 1596 watts available on the 12V rails alone. 133A.
lol

also has super low ripple the oem that made it is enermax
I dont like this PSU - bad 12V rail distribution.
see https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/LEPA/G1600-MA/2.html
"Power distribution on the modular panel is identical with the Platimax 1500 and is not ideal in my opinion. Normally 12V1 should power at least half of the peripheral/SATA sockets and not only the 24pin ATX connector. Also the first EPS connector is powered from a dedicated virtual rail, 12V2, so it could also feed the rest of the peripheral/SATA sockets. Two rails on only two connectors is an overkill while all other connectors have to share four rails.
Similar to the Platimax 1500 case, if you need to use the second EPS/ATX12V connector you should connect its cable either to the middle top socket or to the top right one, which is feed from 12V4 and 12V6 respectively. These rails provide power to a single 12pin socket (and to the peripheral ones) so you won't mix any PCIe connectors with this EPS, something that could lead to OCP activation in some cases. "

lol that is such crap bro it has 30a-40a on each rail its fuckin 1600-1700w psu bad 12v distribution lol that garbage article johnnyguru's is way better and actualy tested it properly

also from that techpowerup
To sum up, this is a very good PSU with an overall outstanding performance and enough power to feed a dual CPU system with five high-end VGAs and a ton of peripheral devices, water cooling pumps, lighting accessories etc. Also its price, for what it has to offer, is very good since we found many lower capacity units costing way more, and offering less. Apparently Enermax, through LEPA, managed to release the strongest PSU on the market at a competitive price, which will really hurt the competition in this segment. Finally, the G1600-MA easily earns a recommendation from me despite its loose +12V voltage regulation because it is ripple proof, highly efficient and currently holds the title of the strongest desktop PSU, which at the same time manages to meet the 80 PLUS Gold requirements.

Thats crazy! Very low wattage with a decent hashing speed
Did you also undervolted your cpu Smiley ?

So thanks for the advice to get the RX480. Great card! working out well. only have the full speed test on eth claymore and it shows 30.5Mh/s, 2100/900mem, 105W. seem alright.

Have a question about zcash mining vs eth. I see the post where someone has nheqminer, zcash, eth and dcr going all at once. Does this make sense to dual/triple mine anything?

I have tried the claymore eth dual claymore running eth only and zcash claymore together. Of course both run slower, but combined is like 9% more monthly value....

So I'm curious, is just running the eth + dcr better? or the zec miner + something other than eth?
