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.

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.

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 r9 390 @ 1080/1500 and can't get more than 24Sol/s with 4g ram and amd sempron, in config changed 2 to 3 instances but no change, tried higher TC, same hashrate. Using 15.12 drivers Win7 x64, what am I missing here? Same thing with this http://coinsforall.io/distr/zcashclient-0.2.4.zip .

And on r9 280x rig, genoil miner just crashes on same mobo cpu ram, Application unable to start correctly, 0xc000007b . Same driver and OS.

Both rigs are at 70%+ CPU use, is that the problem ? Hashes fine with eth or previous algos.

The 280x rig started, problem was the msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll dll in system32/syswow64. Copied the 16.10.3 dlls to genoil miner, the 280x rig has about 90Sols (4 cards), so under 25Sol and the r9 390 rig (4x) is at about 90-110Sol but it keeps crashing and don't know how to restart it efficiently. The batch that kills the task every x seconds and restarts it, doesn't really work, any ideas ?

EDIT: the r9 390 rig crashed under error code 21, job not accepted. So basically an invalid share crashes the miner ?

Not sure about the 390's but my 290x reference are 1000/1125mem, -75mv core, with modded roms, 24ish - 34ish, @ 900 watts to the wall for 6 card rig V0.5 15.12 drivers on Win 10.

My 6x280x Vapours 1150/1500mem 14ish - 31ish @ 800ish watts V0.5 16.3 drivers Win 10.

And if anyone cares 5 Nano's 900/300 modded roms 13ish -20ish PLUS 7990 1050/1500 15ish - 20ish = 500 watts to the wall. They are running 2 instances on the same Win 10 machine.

Not sure, but it might be CPU-limited in your case. I'm running my rigs on 8-core AMD CPUs.

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.

I did all this but first rig is working from 22 to 25-26 and the secon rig 1 of the cards is working at 5-6... How to fix that? Thanks you in advance!

The cards in my first rig are 1x280x and 2x280 1 is 390
Second rig are 4x280

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

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

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)

'

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

I download the last driver 16.10.3 and for rig1 is working ok but the second rig 1 of the cards is getting only 5-6 s/s

How I can fix that?

Im happy we even have one that works in windows some still don't or you have to use the pool it only works on and then it may not work as well as this one even in this unstable state .so he can take three days if that means we get it stable ,

Hi all sifu
I have a old gpu hd5870. When i start mine it doesnt have any sol/s. Is it my gpu is out of mining spec for zcash

not enough memory on the card. it has 153.6 GB/s GDDR5 you need to mine 2 gb sadly it would work if the memory could handle it .

Sorry for noob question, what a minimum gpu for zcash mining.

Radeon RX470/480 is the best option.

Hi

I think Genoil 0.6 is stable for me this is my setup :

first rig 6x MSI RX 480 Stock Mod its makes 140~155 Sol/S.

Code:

title NanoPool-rig2
: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-eu1.nanopool.org:6666 -u t1QKD2fit4aEbR3xhMERLLutGqwGr5paPY8/rig2 -p z -i 20 -w 64 -P 1 -g 0 1 2 3 4 5 -f 2
cls
timeout /T 10
goto start

and its the most stable one

the second rig 6x MSI RX 480 4G Moded its make 140~165 Sol/s

Code:

title NanoPool-rig1
: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-eu1.nanopool.org:6666 -u t1QKD2fit4aEbR3xhMERLLutGqwGr5paPY8/rig1 -p z -i 18 -w 64 -P 1 -g 0 1 2 3 4 5 -f 2
cls
timeout /T 10
goto start

and its become stable just after change -i 18 , that makes the mod useless and I will change it to stock ROM .
you can check it from here :
https://zec.nanopool.org/account/t1QKD2fit4aEbR3xhMERLLutGqwGr5paPY8

both of 2 rigs now up more than 18 hour with Genoil 0.6 and I think its nice .
and I am waiting for Clymore ZEC miner to test it .

Today it crashes on all pools Sad

Have to restart every 10 minutes

Hopefully Claymore will be released soon

just wondering what version > all mine are fine im back on flypool it seems to still pay the best, every now and then one on my three card rig drops zero but it stays connected .

Here is my expereince with ZEC mining for now:

I have it running on 2 rigs for now:

RIG 1: 1X 290 + 2X 370 2GB + 1X 380 2GB WIN7

With genoil 0.6 and mining now at nanopool it been doing average 70 sols/s and stable for 24hr now. (No slow down in hash speed)

RIG 2: 5X RX470 4GB WIN7

Tried everything from 0.4.1 to 0.6, various settings... seems to hash quite well (125-130 sols/s), is stable, but I will get some GPU doing 0sol/s after some time. Tried some restart bat file but nothing works great for some, always need some babysitting.
