Yeah man, you're better off editing your own BIOS than taking a risk using one that won't work with your card. Don't try flashing a different bios unless you are familiar doing all of this because it might screw up your card and then have to take many extra steps to get it working again.

Just follow the cryptobadger post to a T when editing your own BIOS, it's easy as cake.

The thing about Trixx is you have to reapply everything everytime you reboot. Afterburner doesn't change the voltage on the new cards, at least the last version I tried. cgminer may or may not in windows, but the values are usually off, it won't control voltage in linux. sgminer miner though, you might have the best luck with for controlling voltage in the prog.

Ive been following the cryptobadger guide, but when i got to look at my card for the BIOS switch its not a switch so much as a logo button. According to the sapphire page, its has a legacy bios and a UEFI bios, so would i b overwriting one of those? it looks like this

http://prntscr.com/2subd6

I've never changed a BIOS like this before, some settings on a motherboard on pc load up sure, but not this. I've got the changed .rom files on my MSDOS usb drive ready, I just didn't want to screw it up. I've also played around with the settings a bit and still can't get my cards to not go over 80C

http://prntscr.com/2sudkz

R -> L card 1 is usually ok temp wise cards 2 and 3 are obviously too close. and always go over 85C what ever the settings I've used so far.

As for hash speed best I've seen was around 650 per card, lowering the VDDC via trixx to 1100 didnt' make a difference and the more i look at cgminer settings the more suggestions i see :S so not sure where i'm going now. A guide i read said it could get annoying and frustrating... no kidding!!

the PR team think that coinwarz 1st place is something to be proud off, turn off that ego thinking becouse is only damaging the coin value! everyone had said this but i think we know what comes next... vote X exchange ASAP... blah blah blah, im tired of this.

Does anyone know which multipool just started mining DigiByte? This is the highest we have ever seen the hash rate jump to.

You are absolutely correct Torch. We are discussing several options. The gravity well is not as easy to implement as people think. Our Android wallet will experience several issues. The retarget time will be the way we probably go. 1-5 minutes probably.

Uhh... why is the net hash rate at 5Gh/s, is someone trying to fork. Shocked

Great news Digibyte, really frustrating when they jump on and mine for anywhere from 10 mins to 1 hour it seems from looking at hashco, pump the diff up and then move on to the next coin, once the diff drops they jump back on. Look at the stats below from hashco for the last round 10 mins ago

round coin length blocks coins
7786 DGB 1 hour 83 664000.20000000

That is 664000 DGB that will be dumped at the lowest price on coinmarket, they will under cut the lowest price on there. Just think with a few multi pools doing this it really has a damaging effect on the coin and price.

Current diff 11, next estimated diff 27. Gotta love these multi pools, the problem is they are keeping the price down since they automatically dump the generated DGB at the lowest possible price. They will let us work hard now to drop the diff and then they jump back on, crap. All these new ASIC resistant coins coming out really seem to be taking off quickly, loads mining Vert, Panda ect.

Get Kimoto Gravity Well going at least before it is to late, your users are telling you to do it.

Torch,

You have a very valid point. The more we research the issue and listen to very valuable opinions like this the more we realize something needs to be done. We want people to mine DigiByte becouse they beleive in and support it. Not so they can mine it, convert it to Litecoin at the end of the day and go back to playing call of duty while their basement mining farm pays their bills.

Look forward to an anouncement and solution to this next week! Thank you very much for the feedback, we will be implementing the best possible solution to this problem soon.

Yea, this is better +1

But only if you're comfortable with doing it.

Has anyone flashed the BIOS on a Sapphire R9 280X DUAL-X card? According to the cryptobadger guide there should be a switch, that if I can't locate I shouldn't proceed, and as far as I can tell Sapphire have replaced it with a button with the Sapphire S on it which switches to UEFI or legacy BIOS settings, as below picture link shows, which doesn't seem to be the same thing. Am I wrong? Any reason I shouldn't try TRIXX to reduce the VDDC?

You should ask 'The Stilt' for a little help, he''l modify your bios for you and hand it right back to you..

He fixed my 280x bios, too!

Or you could just check out the repository on that thread..

well i found a bios update to try, but i'm not sure how to flash the bios on this card. as I said it has this button rather than a switch. shouldn't the bios be a .rom file rather than a .bin file too??

and why can't i reply to that thread to ask for help Sad

Yea, i think the Stilt stopped accepting requests or something.. but give the bios a shot.. only if you have a bios switch as backup.
Use AtiWinFlash to flash the bios .. but before flashing ... make sure youve picked the right bios... Check the memory type (Elpida or Hynix) and the Sapphire Dual-X Rev . Make sure everything matches...

Goodluck!

well the first one crashed the computer.. 1080/1500 was getting me 680-690 hash rates.... need that under volting i think... any suggestions on inciments to change the gpu/memory clock speed by to tweek it. and do i go up or down in number?

Try;

--lookup-gap 2 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 11200 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --gpu-fan 90

go in the cgminer folder and delete the scrypt-tahiti.bin files first and whenever you change thread concurrency.

I remove the vector tag as it slows me down "-v 1".

Undervolt in the VBE7 with 1100 to 1110 and remove "powertune -20" from the cgminer bat file and just leave it at default which is 0. Also make sure overdrive is turned off in catalyst control center.

Open a terminal window and type;

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

I get 740's+ with this setting and my cards run in the 60's in open air rigs. 1080/1500 will get you 765+ but you'll usually have to volt higher. Other sweet spots are 1020/1500, 1030/1500, and some people report success with thread concurrency 10240, or sometimes using --shaders 2048 instead of thread concurrency. If you push the memory above 1600-1675 your system will start to crash and you'll have to overvolt the memory which you don't want to do.

Scrypt settings are voodoo. One number in either direction can cause hashrate to drop significantly. The trick is finding the magic numbers.

Using a pc case though will cause the cards to run pretty hot.

I saw many ads about pools but i've never seen that one. Join https://dgb.cryptoculture.net/. Even if you have low hashrate you will mine a lot of coins!!!! Wink

Exactly, why not mine all the DGB you can while it is easy? The only place DigiByte is going is up! Mining will only get harder!
