Questions for someone more knowledgable than myself.
1. One of my rigs has two R9 290's.  One has 4GB and the other 8GB.  They both get in the mid to high 40's H/s.  Does that make sense.

2. Does it make sense to mod these cards for zcash mining?  If so, what would you recommend in settings and mod software?

Yikes! R9 290 8GB - that's crazy rare.

Overclock both GPUs to 1100/1250 and you will get 50Sols

You can use Stilt bios to get a lower voltage and there are some memory tweaks if I recall.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Claymore releases and it works so well there went the value of the coin.  Because now everyone and there brother can mine reliably.. This coins is dying in value big time now.  More sellers than buyers so the coin is dying in value.  I really was at the place where I did not want a good miner released.. That way only those who had some knowledge and patience was mining it and running scripts to keep it mining.


I think Claymore's miner is great as usual.

The drop in ZEC price is because miners are selling it off for BTC and not keeping ZEC.

So I dont think blaming Claymore for making a good miner is justified - I blame the greedy profit taking sellers.

ZEC team need to raise the awareness of why ZEC matters because as of now, ZEC seems to be a mine and dump coin  Angry

In need of a little help..running 6 rx480's in win10, I can get 4 of them to start hashing ok but 2 of them give a "gpu hangs in opencl call"
using a asrock z97 anniversary board, the 2 gpu's hanging up are on the end PCI slots with an PCI to PCI-E adapter so I could use a powered 1x to 16x riser.
I thought I might have a bad riser but all the cards are recognized and I switched back to mining Monero to see if they would start up and they do with no problems, I can also mine other coins with no problems as well.
I set up a huge page file, I have 8 gigs ram and an 1840 celeron.
I put in the -wd 0 so it would stop restarting and have been watching it for an hour or so with no changes, if I specify the cards with -di and just shut them off completely there are no problems.
if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

we if you really think about it... it is not dying but adjusting as the block gets bigger and the value will be reflected.

Claymore - you are CRAZY man!!! 38sol/s from old r7 370\2G!!!! I'm confused! GREAT!

I know, this is crazy. I just took all my R7 370's off eBay that now I feel I was giving away too cheaply.

R7-370 at 38sol/s?

Are you using the new v1.1 to achieve this?

My gpu rx470 always crash
Thread stuck in device driver
How to solve it?
use claymore's zcash first version miner, not v.1.1

same as me while using this v.1.1 version usually stuck in device driver.

try to uninstall the driver then ati radeon settings and reinstall... worked for me.

You've done it again @Claymore Smiley

thanks!

Hey guys is there a linux miner yet?

If yes can someone point me to the instructions to set this up on linux.

My money; Our Bitcoin.
Awkward moment, when your 1070&1080 slower, than R7 370 Sad

That's the card I have. I didn't change any clock speeds or voltages; I didn't roll back the catalyst driver to 15.12; and I am getting ~30 H/s.
I suppose that is not bad for what many consider outdated tech.  Grin

280X Linux results


Any chance you can tell us your power consumption for that 6 x 280X rig? And are those stock 280X?

adasab, you stated "I have a 6990. Use drivers 15.7

And mine ETH with it with his miner software not ZEC. ZEC will run at 2Sol/s per core so 4Sol/s.

With ETH you will get 13MH/s each so 26MH/s total. Almost the speed of RX480 & 390 just uses alot of power.

You can also undervolt them to like 1.0V to save on heat and power"

Thanks man. Is that with Claymores? Which version? Dual miner (ETH & Zcash)? And, where can I get it? Where to mine?

Appreciate your input...James

Claymore

Not that i am complaining but i am starting to feel that our RX is so underworked. I am able to reduce my GPU to 1100 and Memory to 2000 with -100mv and yet i am still hashing at 41 - 45 H/s... I am one of those lives on the boarder of danger which stretch my rigs to the brink of destruction. Any chance of having a HELL VERSION that pushes the RX to the max?

GPU-Z
Power Ave : 55W
VDDC : 0.9
Fan Speed : 40% at 1400RPM
GPU Temp : 73C

where as when i was on ETH

Power Ave : 110
VDDC : 0.97
Fan Speed : 70% at 3500RPM
GPU Temp : 80C

BTW

My 470 is hashing higher than my 480 with ave 43 to 48 H/s.

I am staying in the tropics with no AC with an average temp of 33C and yet i can achieve this great TEMP is amazing.

The clock speed and memory clock are done with the command line arguments right?

I understand the undervolting is done with a utility, do I need to do that to get more hashes or is it just for power saving?  I have free power so don't really care, only concerned with noise and heat.

Thanks.

lowering volts will lower heat... and noise
