Avatars are overrated.
which setting to use the rx 470 4gb nitro?
win 7 64
Maybe try out this:
Code:
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u xxxxxx.xxxxx -p xxxxxx z -i 20 -w 64 -P 0 -k zec pause

I use the -k zec zec zec zec so that it loads 4 threads per 8gb card which it can hold and it seems stable with worker loads up to 128. I love the 480 reference cards.

And again I am on 16.9.2.

Just switched it up a bit and got a 110h/s peak that was neat with the following batch from an earlier post from mohnori:

Code:
title 480
:start
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u xxxxxx.xxxxxx -p xxxxx z -i 20 -w 64 -P 1 -g 0 1 -k zec zec zec zec pause -f 2
cls
timeout /T 10
goto start

Hashrates using the silentarmy v2 kernel:

R9 Fury X @1050/500 - 35-40 Sol/s
R9 290 & 390 @ 1060/1500 - 32-34 Sol/s
R9 280x @ 957/1200 - 28-32 Sol/s

Overall I'm really happy with the performance, but fixing the stability so it doesn't crash every time would make it even better  Wink

I have 5x 280x cards.  When you say 957/1200, does that mean Core/Mem?  Have you modified your actual rom file to those numbers and then flashed your bios with ATI flash or does 957/1200 mean something different and something you can set in windows?  If it is something different, can you tell me how to set those numbers?  I want to try your settings on my 280x cards.  Thanks!

The card is underclocked. using afterburner.

Thanks.  I am using afterburner for the 957/1200 on the 280x and I max at about 21 Sol/s.  Are you doing -w or -i in your command line?  Anything that I might have missed?  Thanks again.

all i can think of then is it my modded bios if i flip it to normal mode it only does 22 to 25 with the beefed up bios i was using  for eth it goes up a bit . I know others say don't use it but it's the miner, it is to unstable right now i was having the exact same issue modded or not . when it's finally fixed and I'm still haveing issue from it then i'll revert back, I 'm sure i won't need to.

on fly pool now

188.3H/s  for the next few hours it will stay there then for what ever reason it starts carping out .

Wow I am really impressed with this new 0.6 miner.

I have 3 batch files now.  1 batch files launches two others.

Start.bat
Code:
start cmd /k call start1.bat
start cmd /k call start2.bat

start1.bat (runs my RX 480)
Code:
@echo on
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
timeout /t 1
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u name.miner1 -p password1 -P 0 -f 0 -g 1 -k zec zec zec zec

start2.bat (runs my R9 280x and 380x)
Code:
@echo off
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

@echo on
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
timeout /t 1
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u name.miner2 -p password2 -P 0 -f 0 -g 0 2

This boosted my has rate up quite a bit but one problem with this miner is my 280x card will stop mining and the -f 0 is not restarting it.  
I like it! I am running  "z -i 20 -w 64 -P 0 -k zec zec zec zec pause" on my 480s and it seems to restart but without the -f on it's own but the wierd thing is that I am tagged with a 0.05 thing when I launch the miner then when it does lose the threads the hash drops from my 100 h/s down to the 0.05. Super odd. still trying to figure that out but I am getting about 70-100h/s on 2x 480's when it is running (runs for 6 hours at a time). Mind if I ask what speeds you see on your 480? I tried yours but get stuck around 36h/s.

edit* driver is 16.9.2

thanks man it did work for me as you can see......

Tell me, what makes setting zec zec zek?


-k zec zec zek not on that one . or like this -k  zec zec zec  

warning thu it's gear related if your gear can't handle that many silent army kernels at once it will crash to the point you have to turn off the rig .

It's not only a questions of gear, it must be something with the software environment.

My RX 460 4GB runs v.06 zec zec flawlessly, no crashes, nothing

But none of my eight RX 480 4GB can run zec zec, they all crash.

All GPUs are running on win 10 x64 AMD driver 16.9.1

Go figure... Huh

no offense intended but it may not help , but it has to be 4gb cards like he said . try it  and see.

No, it has to be more than 4GB to use 3 instances (-k zec zec zec). Since 6GB AMD cards don't exist as far as I know, it requires an 8GB card.

cool i used two not three after  using 2 i didn't brother with it, it didn't help.I didn't know .. 


thanks for clearing that up !!! not being a smart ass ...

Tell me, what makes setting zec zec zek?

This will cause 3 instances of the miner to run on each card, which can help improve hash rates when the cards are under-utilized. It will only work on cards with more than 4GB of VRAM.

Basically with a 2GB card, you can run one instance (no -k flags)
With a 4GB card, you can run 2 instances (-k zec zec)
With an 8GB card, you can run up to 4 instances (-k zec zec zec zec)

Each extra instance will have diminishing returns and possibly cause more instability.

Big thanks to Genoil! My 2 x 480's are cookin now! Smiley



Code:
z -i 20 -w 64 -P 0 -k zec zec zec zec pause

Edit* just changed worker load to 128 and will report back with results. Probably wont help with odd 0.05/s watcher armed message but we will see.

Binaries only, sorry.

So until the big boys are ready with their 100Sol/s cannons, you can mine some ZEC with this piece of shit. Highly unstable but pretty fast thanks to @mrb's SilentArmy kernels. yay

I like this piece of shit and the selling speech. Will tip when this rally ends.



Coinmine did the trick for me, running 24h there with 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 without problems. It is cool and quiet here, they are waiting for solcannons.

Genoil, thanks again, my 2 cents:

Thanks mate, let's hope the coin's value increases in the same order like it did last time when you 'tipped' me some worthless ETH Wink

Don't forget some of us are mining to your address or iam every day  this week once i found i could ) that about the only way right now i can afford to show thank you and  build my  farm and have all  it  paid for  and not bought on credit . I know a shame less plug my bad. lmao. just make it work if that's the plan so the ones that don't want use Claymore's miner don't have to when it comes out or have to keep using it im sure we will at first  , I'll will use if i have to and hate it every min , but that's life, i learn to like it. by  the end of the month with my other money that comes in and this i convert to btc right way i don't trust it so I  sell it as i get it ill have enough  i hope for 4 more maybe one more if i holdout for black Friday and look for deals.

after about 24 hours of test, I find 0.6 gives 0S/s for some of my cards more often then 0.5 which is never Sad ,
so switch back to 0.5 for now

plus, all my GPU usage is around 78% up and down, none of them is reaching 100% like mining other coins


For the 7970/280x, the GPU usage is about 85%. For the newer 390 cards, the usage is about 100%.

so does this mean the miner is not fully optimized for old GPUs?

I think the miners are not fully optimized for all GPU. For the new GPU such as R9 390, only 30% of the memory load.

Bit of a compensation that you get more out these older generation GCN GPU's with less usage. Have 7870XT which have seen couple of altcoin hay days still giving a run for the money for 390 with this zcash. Wouldn't mind to get that old hottie fully utilized thou.

EDIT: There seem to be other miner giving half of the daily income you get with genoil's miner. It's more stable, nothing good script cannot fix. As always in a world of altcoin, miners discretion is advised.
