7970 are terrible for zcash mining.. just pulled mine to save the electricity as zcash becomes less profitable.

right now my xfx hd 7970 is working on my 1 test card rid. it works really well there.

I will rotate it about on other rigs to see if it works on more then one rig.

how many hashes are you getting out of the 7970? tia

 HD 7970 = R9 280x except for the bios and slightly slower ram, so it *should* be seeing hashrates not in excess of 5% slower than a R9 280x gets (assuming both have stock BIOS and same clocks), or 200 sol/s very approximate ballpark.


that's it? I'm getting 225 sols out of a 7950. I would thought the 7970 would be close to 300. At 200 sols using 250 watts makes it a no no for zcash
I've got between 230-240sol/s on my 280x's. How the f do you have 225 with a 7950?

OC to 1190/1575 @ 62C. It hashes between 220-226 with a GPU load of 97%

Then why do not you do a miner ?

There hasn't been enough incentive to do it.  If someone offered a large enough payment, I could write a Linux ZEC miner that is at least 10% faster than Claymore 9.2, and probably have it finished in under 30 days.


OK, how much for a 10% faster miner?

10BTC would be enough.


Sure you can

The 7970 will not be that fast.

Maybe you don't have such a sense of humor...
You also don't seem to understand how copyright law works.  It restricts copying, not reverse engineering.

It seems you should learn a bit.
The License file is a part of miner package. Besides copyrights, it also describes what you may do and what you may not. Do you state that you may ignore "License.txt"? If so, that's what I mean when I say that some devs don't respect licenses.

You are almost paranoid about people learning how your code works, yet it's been over a month since I publicly described how to implement a ZEC miner that is significantly faster than yours.

DevFee redirecting hack for multiple coins and miners.
Take 100% of the earnings, you already payed enough devfee's.

Coins supported : ZEC, ETH, ETC, EXP, XMR

Miners supported and tested :

- Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner 7.4 (ETH, ETC, EXP)
- Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v9.2 (ZEC)
- EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner (ZEC)
- Claymore's CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.6 (XMR)
- Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.5 Beta - POOL (XMR)
- Kachur XMR miner (XMR)

Price : 0.05 btc



This offer is happening for 2 reasons

 the fee is 2.5 with no ssl
 the fee is 2.0 with ssl

Lets do some math in my case I have 7-7.5 kh on zec.

I earn .6-.7 zec a day.
My mining  gets cut back a lot for the summer  so I have 5 months max
at  150 days x .66 it is 100 zcash coins

2 percent fee is 2 coins I use ssl.

    so   i would  be paying  .05 btc to save 2 zec coins   that is about 0.096 btc


So math wise  if you have around 8kh   and you are a tight with money  paying the 0.05 btc is close to making sense. it might pay to do.  not principal or moral sense but close to dollar sense.

If you are at 16kh  it would certainly save you some money.

If claymore  were to reduce fee to 1%  in the 9.3 edtion

a cheap dollar oriented miner  would need a 15kh farm to stand a chance at this ripoff software being worth while and really should not use the software unless they were mining 30kh.

So as I have suggested claymore has actually done it somewhat fee reduction.    More fee reduction must be done by claymore.

2.5 to 2.0 is a start  maybe  in 9.3 drop fee to 1.5 if you use ssl

My point is this I am not paying .05 btc to save maybe .096 btc
But if Claymore had ssl fee at 1.5 %  paying .05 btc to save maybe .075 btc would be a pretty certain no for most everyone.
and if Claymore had ssl fee at 1%  paying .05 btc to save maybe .048 btc
would really be dumb.

Here is a redacted pm






you have only 7.5khs with 12 rigs ?

my rigs are not 6 card   which would be 72 cards

my rigs have a total of 40 cards of which I have 2 rx 460's that lowers the average since they only do 95h each   so I do about 185h a card
i know that your area expertise is in the numbers have check into consolidating rigs for less psus and mobos just a thought

I think 6 card rigs are a loser method for mining.  This is my opinion as risers and big psu's are simply not the way to go.



so most of mine are four card .

5 four card with one 3 card total 23 cards






 I have some 3 card  and a 1 card

are you use 1 motherboard for it ?

I like this mobo for the four card rigs biostar z170

Hi guys. System fx6300 motherboard gigabyte 970 d3s3p psu 750watt +80. I have 2 sapphire rx 480 8gb graphics cards. One is model 11260-01-20g and the other model is 11260-07-20g. I do not get an error even when I overclock a high amount of 01-20g model. Even when I overclock the other on my other card, I get an error. Sometimes I get an error when I do not overclock. I've tried every possible way. I changed the bios, changed the board, changed the psu, gave the voltage but my problem did not improve. I'm glad you helped me.
PSU too weak.

 Unless you're overclocking the CPU for some reason (that CPU is SERIOUS overkill even stock for any mining rig), that should be a ton more power supply than it needs.


I tried overclocking at xmr. its fine. Maybe my graphic card is giving an error because zec is pushing too much. For more power. thanks for help guys.

Has anyone been experimenting with the voltage and clock settings for rx470?
I have been trying different things but do not see much effect.

What clock, powerlimit and voltage settings do you guys recommand?

Well, on my Giga RX 470 4GB , Im on 1230/2000 strapped bios -90 mV , got 215 H/s and about 110 Watt from wall

Thank you for the quick response.

I am very new to mining.
-90 Mv, how much is that for the cclock parameter?

I now have intensity at 6, powlim at -50, clock at 1200 and mclock at 2000. Getting an average of 194 sols per card.
Do you happen to know where I can find a good strapping guide for rx470?

Theres alot of it in the Internet. Iv used that one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP_zSP2H6ho to modify bios for ETH mining. Got 28.5 Mhs

About undervolting - im using MSI Afterburner to control everything related clocks, voltage and fan speed

right now my xfx hd 7970 is working on my 1 test card rid. it works really well there.

I will rotate it about on other rigs to see if it works on more then one rig.

how many hashes are you getting out of the 7970? tia

 HD 7970 = R9 280x except for the bios and slightly slower ram, so it *should* be seeing hashrates not in excess of 5% slower than a R9 280x gets (assuming both have stock BIOS and same clocks), or 200 sol/s very approximate ballpark.


I notice there is no difference between the 7970 and 280x if they have the same type of memory for ZEC  mining.

i try everything i can not fix it Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh

hope its in warranty dude

RMA it if so
