IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!


Copy the entire directory of AMD\Non-WHQL-Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.10.3-Oct27\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B308236

Into the Genoil directory, will be like 100 files over 250MB long.


I used the Windows 7 AMD 16.10.3 NOT the Windows 10 like shown above.

My rig 470 4gb *5

Can only run genoil's with 2 gpu
and nheqminer 3 gpu

if run more than 2 gpu

Blue screen error with code

Thread_stuck_in_device_driver

and dump file error is

atikmdag.sys and dxgkrnl.sys

My current driver is 16.10.3 Hotfix

please help me to use genoil for 5 gpu because it's very faster thagn nheqminer

Please help me this problem thx

run one instance of Gnoil per pair of GPU. Read back the thread you can do that.

Try but bye bye too

Guys,

What values are you using for the -w and -i parameters? The default ones? Higher?

Do you notice any improvement on multi GPU systems?

Reason I don't want to install AMD 16.xxx is because 6 GPUs might not work in Windows 7.

However I read somewhere that 16.7.2 (pre-RX 470) drivers might work.

What Sols/s rate are you getting with 290(x)?  (Clocks 1030/1250)

I'm getting just about 25 Sols/s and 7950 and 280 gives about the same. (Clocks 900/1500)

By the way Miner is getting better on every release, thanks Smiley



my R9 280 at default get 29 to 37  not the X version and seem to the holdiong at 30 with this version of the miner even my r7 370 seem to run better .


Okey, thats much better than me :\

I start my miner (7950, 7950 , 280) with these options, have you changed w or i from Default?

Code:

genoil.exe -c POOL:PORT -u USER.WORKER -p z -g 0 1 2 -f 0

(E8400 and 2gigs of ram if these matter)

You can't get 30 with a Radeon 280. Not even with a 280x.



  that is my R9 280  3gb at stock setting water cooled



i use this setting sense everything else appers to be on by default

Code:
genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u ZEC address -p z


Nice man.  What AMD driver version are you using for your 280x?  Did you change intensity, work size or any other options?  Stock firmware flashed to card as well?  Undervolting?  Thanks!

Crimson Edition 16.10.3 Hotfix

here is the card i have
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131570

set at defaults including the software  miner. I may flash it to see what that does i was very impressed when support for older amd cards came how well this works, it went from using nicehash software hitting at best  10 sol to what you see when 0.42 came out or what ever version gave tahiti cards support .

Now i got 30 from my 280 too, 16.10.3 Hotfix did the trick, no change in 7950. Thanks for help Smiley

and for everyone else-> You dont have to install the driver, just copy these files to same drawer.

Code:
amdocl64.dll
amdocl12cl64.dll
amdocl12cl.dll
amdocl.dll
amd_opencl64.dll
amd_opencl32.dll

Would be nice to know what is the best driver for 290(x) Smiley
'

SO we get those files from Windows/SYstem32 correct? And we put them inside the Genoil directory?

download 16.10.3 from amd and you will find all files in
AMD\Non-WHQL-Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.10.3-Oct27\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B308236

but this still doesn't work for me, so I stay with 20ish for all my cards for now

0.6 is a bit more stable than 0.5 for me, but less so than 0.4.2. Having a lot of machines crash out on writing the Tahiti bin file - some of them do this over and over and then suddenly start mining for a while, others never start mining.

The 7 card Tahiti/Pitcairn/Hawaii rig continues to be a problem on anything but 0.4.2 - 0.5 and 0.6 both run to GPU driver failure and the machine must be rebooted at that point. 0.4.2 ran on that machine all day and night yesterday with only a 1000 second reset timer. Not getting max hashrates out of any one card on this machine. Currently trying 0.6 on it with the Hawaii cards on one instance and the rest on another instance. We'll see how this goes...

Thank you for the great work your doing. Sent you a little donation in BTC.

280x = 27ish - 32ish @ 1150/1500mem
290x = 23ish - 29ish @ 1000/1125mem -75coremV modded roms
Nano = 14ish - 21ish @ 900/300mem modded rom
7990 = 11ish - 17ish @ 1050/1500 on each core

Everything is WAY cooler than running ETH.
Currently V0.5 is more stable then 0.6 except with the Nano's.

Keep up the great work

Tahiti are the KING of mining GPUs as usual.

On my 4 card rig, running 2 instances of Genoil, one for GPU 0+1, the other for GPU 2+3 seems to add to the stability for now.

Running one instance on all 4 cards would simply crash the whole rig. And yes, I've tried just mining on one card before mining on all of them...
Are that trick increase performance at least a little? Or have no impact?

I don't think it does, at least not for me, but the good thing is 1 error won't bring down the whole mining rig.
I am going to the extreme that open one instance for each card
make a batch file to delay each instance for 15 secs and kill them all every 1800 secs
see how stable then can get.

Honestly I don't know if this makes a real difference, but for my particular rig it works nicely and it's a lot more stable. This is a 4x RX470 8Gb rig, cards were heavily undervolted (-137mv) for a rock solid 530W@Wall and 114Mh/s under ETH.

I've spent the last 2 days playing around and with verion 0.6, I finally have something stable on all my 3 rigs, totally around 240S/s now!

It has no real impact on performance. I just noticed that one of my card would get 0.0S/s more often. I played around and now running GPUs 0 + 2 and 1 + 3 on 2 instances. Works like a charm. Not using the -k zec zec parameter though, even if this increases the hashrate by like 10-15S/s (for 2 cards) it crashes my miner within seconds.

On another rig with 2 390X, the -k zec zec works nicely though, I'm getting between 65-70S/s with the 2 cards.

guys anyone mining with 2gb rx 460 here ? need to know current solve rate with this miner.

I got a 4Gb 460 mining at 14~19, heavily undervolted

Is 0.6 faster, because I just a few hours ago made myself my own bat file, after searching google for like 3 hours on how to do it (I suck at command line stuff), and am pretty burnt out messing with stuff, but it works now!!! Yay, autorestart.

If it's faster I guess I'll have to sacrifice my sanity to the crypto gods and delve back in, otherwise. Time to relax.
