Ok Im going nuts I install 18.3.4 drivers and tries GGS 1.36 and 1.37 and cannot get any of my r9 cards to run 270,280 and 390's Im on win 10 I tried mph ethash but it wont connect I have to use a different port than ETH because of the dag the log keeps saying something about the key also I tried cn7 and my hashrates either suck or when I use default settings it crashes could someone give me a good settings on xmr for theses older cards Thanks
Also I no its not GGS its the fact Im using older cards on this rig
edit: I also tried stock clocks and OC I wonder if I need to reinstall win for some reason when you use claymore miners than switch to a different miner you get nothing but problems this always happened to me on win7
I heard a rumor that Claymore's miners rewrite display drivers for stability.
I didn't confirm that rumor myself, but it makes a perfect sense. I was at least pretty certain that they use exploits in Windows to gain administrative privileges. (I don't think it's a coincidence antivirus software marks his miners as threats.)
These are all speculations and I might be completely wrong. That is why I prefer open-source
projects over closed-source ones, although I take a substantial financial hit that way. Just my two cents.
Thanks I believe this is the problem I can use any claymore miner without a problem as soon as I try any other miner I have problems or crashes even when I run DDU I think a fresh install of win 10 is the way to go Im going to try and see whats happens
I think that it's only rumors about Claymore's rewtining drivers...
More trully as I heard that Claymore have access to Microsoft development. His miners didn't rewrite any Windows drivers (at least on Windows 10) because it not so easy to change driver that's work at this moment without reinstalling it. And don't forget about digital signing of drivers...
But his miners can do things that other miners can't. I think that Claymore knows significant more about drivers on Windows and how them works. He maked his miners with low access to GPU maybe without driver at all if it possible... Maybe he worked for MS earler or something like this.
For me any other miner normal works after launching his miners. And even more - I often use his miners for setting overclock, fans, etc. It's very usefull that his miners leave HW changes in GPU work after closing miner.
zawawa, maybe you make this option too? To leave OC and fan settings changed after closing GGS? And return please "Release memory" button, I used it often...
