My Fury rig on Claymore 12.5 with 15.12 drivers + (ASM activated)

846W for 6 cards.
Let's round to 790W to remove CPU/Mobo/RAM
Now remove PSU efficiency (8% for my platinium)
732W / 6 = 122W per card for 400-430 H/s

I loved the version 12.5 . It works very stable.

Yep Smiley A lot of person was scpetical about R9 Fury.
But the GPU is really great and backed with a fu.cking fast mem ! And the best thing is that I bought them on discount for 240€ each.

The key, is the undervolting (-96 mV with AfterBurner) and reducing the max tdp (mine are -48% on Zcash for 410-430 H/s depending of the card, and something like 26 MH/s on ETH with those setting).
Back in the days, I made a video for a guy who don't want to believe in my results : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y86VLJirwN8
I was with Claymore 7 so the perf is less than the 400+ H/s from now. I'll try to record a new one.
But you can see the kill-o-watt meter + the second rig offline (no power draw) + the 5 Fury rig running

The Fury are really good, the only bad thing it's that they are huge and require 2x8pin PCI-E so you have to have a good PSU with a lot of cables.
That is why I was thinking about a card reseller and go for a new one ... but It seems that for now, it's the best.

I'll wait VEGA and the GTX 1170 to see



I am like 95% sure those cards needed a lot less power with CM7 than they need now.
I am running a -96 mV undervolt which gives me 455@200W.

I have reduced the TDP as you suggested but neither hashrate nor the power draw changed. Still at 200W.

Reduced core to 1000 (I usually run 1050).
Hashrate dropped to 435. Power dropped to 170W.
I can see that card lowered core voltage by 0.05V with this move, pretty cool didnt know it can do that.

I think your furies are drawing near 170W right now as well Wink
Still thats an interesting setup, -20h/s for 30W, not bad, thanks for the tip.
Nope, power is limited
They consume the same than with cm7 Smiley
I'll post a New video

+1 on the Fury's. I have about the same results with the two in my rig. I wish they were still available (or had the $$ to buy more when they were on sale with a rebate!)

I just pulled the trigger on a 580 card. Should be here early next week. I'm a bit nervous because I have read in the forms that 580's don't like to play well with Win 7, Catalyst 5.12, and Claymore. I have two slots open on my OLD OLD Intel Core-Duo MB so I would like to use the 580 in the same rig as my 2 fury's and one r9 290 (which hash out 1150 drawing 600-610w at the wall with basically the setting described above). I also do not want to spend $$ to set-up a second rig. 

Anyone have any advice on the set-up? Can it be done?

Its make sense buy 580 or better 480?

Whichever you can find. 480 is cheaper and easier to setup on Windows with 6+ GPU. Hash is almost the same, but the 580 uses more power. While there has been recent availability of 580's, the 480's are all but gone.
Ok, thanks. Trying find some 480 so

No idea how this is possible.
Reducing TDP does nothing for my fury.
Whats your core voltage from gpu-z?

Could it be that tight memory strap mods used for ETH mining are not working for ZCash?
Quickly tried to use Claymore Zcash miner on my RX570 mining farm for the lulz... and everything crashed within seconds. What's the catch? Or do I just have to lower intensity?

EDIT: same thing happens if I try Optiminer. After a few seconds of mining, miner freezes, PC reboots.
Any ideas on this?

@ th00ber and fredeq

What do you guys think about the PRO DUO card at $580 for ZEC? It's basically two Nanos in a single package. Is it a viable option?

Still in love with my R9 Fury.
430H/s for 130W
I was thinking to change them... But I can't find better now

That is even better than my R9 nano.

Is this backed by watt meter?
Sounds a bit too good for me, more like 1070 values.

is claymore's v12.5 work with rx570 and rx580, yet? it say nothing on OP about rx5 cards and a few posts said it is not stable.

noob question: a few weeks back my 950H/s setup was getting about 0.1ZEC about every 3 hours on flypool.  These days I am getting only 0.1ZEC every 5-6 hours.  What would cause this?  Increased difficulty?

Yes, the difficulty going up means it takes longer for the pool to find blocks. Less blocks found means less frequent payouts. You aren't getting 0.1 ZEC every 6 hours or even every 24 hours with 950H. With that hashrate you can expect about half that in 24 hours.

http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/zcash-mining-calculator/?h=950.00&p=600.00&pc=0.10&pf=0.00&d=1797696.37812936&r=10.00020000&er=0.10538829&btcer=2567.00460000&hc=0.00

Thanks.  You are correct re: payouts, it's 0.01ZEC per 5 hours or so.

this version 12.5 freezes alot, i have tried amd driver 12.11, 16.2 and all freezes despite my overclocking not up to the number when using version 12.4.

another problem i noticed in this 12.5 is that; dev fee mine twice sometimes. i use secure connection, whenever dev fee start (72sec) at first mining, it will say connection time out after 72sec and restart dev fee again another 72sec. despite my internet is connected and working fine.

i notice a slice increase in speed of my hd 7770 (overclocking is now 85h/s (before 70h/s) thanks claymore for this. am now getting 170-180h/s with 2x hd7770

we hope next release will be more stable, this version freezes alot.
anyway, thank you Claymore!!!

I'm having some trouble here. I have a rig that I set up back in 2013/2014 and used to mine it.

Back then, it was like so:
Gigabyte 1155 mobo with cheap Celeron and 4GB ram.
Booting Ubuntu 12.04 on a USB drive (Surprisingly this worked well)
Some version of the FGLRX drivers
Multiple 7950 cards

So I dusted it off recently to mine ZEC, installed Claymore on it and it worked straight away, but only saw one GPU at a time. Linux could see and use multiple GPU.

I decided it was time to just rebuild the OS. So I got a new USB stick, installed Ubuntu 16.04 server following this guide: https://blockoperations.com/build-6-gpu-zcash-headless-mining-rig-ubuntu-16-04-using-claymore/
It's using the latest AMDGPU-PRO driver (17.10, the link did not show the 16.50 drivers any more).

Right now, I am having zero luck. I have a single Sapphire 7950 in there, and the hash rate always shows as 0. No overclocking, no PCIx risers, everything stock.

I tried using the older drivers (16.50) as I eventually found them, but still no luck. In fact it was worse as it now saw the cards as  “Hainan” instead of "Tahiti".

I have since read that maybe I should be using Ubuntu 14.04. But I am not sure where to head right now. I have wasted a whole day on this so far.

Is there a currently recommended way to get this all working in Linux with a 7950 card?

My rig is old too. it's from 2014. 3 cards r9 280x and one r9 270.
I'M using ubuntu server 14.04 as base os. and for installing drivers: I used this guide as reference : http://spacience.blogspot.com.tr/2015/11/gpu-mining-in-ethereum-1404-from-scratch.html
and after that installed atitweak to easy set the clocks from a bash script.

I have 3 sapphire RX 580 8gb cards under windows 10 using AMD driver 17.4.4 and after several ours it falls down. I have tried other version of driver but this one is the more stable i found. The other once fall inmediately.
I think we need a new version for this cards.
Some else have the same problems??
