@Marc @Genoil and other SA devs,

In v5, running two instances does not give more S/s (at least in my experience). This could be a way for improvement. in v3 running second instance was bringing +25-30%.

If I look at the new competitor Optiminer, he's results with two instances show what you could obtain with SAv5 + 25% with second instance.

Good luck and much thanks for good work.


This is actually an indication that GPU is now fully utilized.  Additional optimizations are going to take a bit more work now.

Is python3 interpreter sufficient or should I install recommended dependencies?

I installed everything it recommended after selecting the 6mb python package, it works fine.

my 470 does 80 or better with modded bios drivers might be a problem , to test it use the windows default AMD drivers  it downloads on install it may work better with them. or other drivers .
Your setting is about 1300 core and 2000 memory?
I have only ~77 per rx470 4GB 1100/2000 with BIOSmod


I guess you would say mine are doing whats yours are ? .

Code:
Total 238.9 sol/s [dev0 78.6, dev1 84.0, dev2 81.6] 73 shares
Total 238.9 sol/s [dev0 80.0, dev1 82.9, dev2 82.0] 73 shares
Total 238.7 sol/s [dev0 80.8, dev1 81.7, dev2 82.7] 73 shares
Total 237.0 sol/s [dev0 77.7, dev1 82.4, dev2 80.5] 73 shares
Total 236.8 sol/s [dev0 75.6, dev1 82.0, dev2 81.1] 73 shares



I think that could be better if i knew how to . that GPU load isn't right .I tired over clocking didn't seem to do much so i left how it is .

i asked before,no one answered... could someone explain why the windows port would work perfectly on one rig and run very slow on an identical rig? happening with 2 of my rigs... 1 of all RX 470's and one of 290's/290x mix rig. works great on one but slow on another identical rig , so out of 5 rigs im running SA on 3 and claymore's on 2..OS/drivers and hardware are all the same...weird eh..

this happens when silentarmy detects your cpu as dev0 or dev1

try different combinations of --use

Quote
--use 0,1,2,3,4,5
--use 1,2,3,4,5,6
--use 2,3,4,5,6,7

can I use SA win r5 to mine BTC with nicehash?

if so can I use extranonce?

YES, SILENTARMY HAS EXTRANONCE --

For NiceHash, set your launch line like this:  "silentarmy -c stratum+tcp://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357/#xnsub".  Add other command flags as suits your rig.  Read the readme.       --scryptr

Fighting mob law and inquisition in this forum
mrb, please release Binaries Fo Windows!
I don't trust another releasers than DEV.
You know, I was to submit a pull request to mrb, but I then realized some of the changes I made are too hackish to be integrated into the main branch. The source codes of my Windows builds are all available, so mrb can decide what to do with them.


What your github repo links pls?

My msi rx 470 4gbs are performans slightly worse on v5 than claymore's. Same roms. What are your experiences.

Claymore: 65-75 h/per card
V5: 60-70 h/per card.

im getting in low 80's on my rx 470's 79-84...4gb with modded bios and  1256/1950 -950mv/1000mv

SILENTARMY HASH RATES--

I did a quick chart of hash rates from my AMD rigs.  The hash rates are expressed in Solutions per second (Sols/s):



The rigs are running in Ubuntu 14.04 Linux.  The SilentArmy mining software is the current release as of late PM 12 NOV 16.

My six card RX 460 rig runs at about 400 Watts.  My four card RX 470 rig runs at 530 Watts.  I have not measured the wattage of the other rigs.  

There are no BIOS modifications.  The RX rigs are at stock clocks.  The R7 rig is overclocked at 1200/1500, the R9 rigs are overclocked at 1100/1500.  All rigs are stable.

Holy Sh*t I can´t believe me eyes at the moment, but my power consumption analyzer works accurate...!

1x R9 290x
3x R9 Nano
(lowered voltage/clocks/power limit because of f*ckin´ high electricity rates here in Germany)

Before/Claymore
~340 Sol @ 600W

Now
~390 Sol @ 530W
or alternatively
~375 Sol @ 470W  Cool
(can´t decide which attitude I should choose at last ^^)

Thats just sensationally!!




I Knew when i run SA with Ubuntu, i knew then nothing could touch it  once it was tweaked,  so i waited for windows .

How to install silentarmy windows?

https://mega.nz/#F!iwYQhI6S!2vl0D3jz3fH3-bZxHUurBg  

download SILENTARMY-v5-Cygwin64-r5

download this

https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

then unzip the SILENTARMY-v5-Cygwin64-r5

and read the

WINDOWS.txt

it tells you just what to install from Cygwin64 you don't need it all unless you want it, o yea install anything the program recommends after you pick the package or it  might turn out not so good or errors .

thanks top.

..like bright metal on a sullen ground.
Someone have a script .bat for reboot silentarmy-cywin on windows ? I have some crashs Sad

I'd like to see a linux script for rebooting after GPU crashes.  I don't know how to have the script detect a GPU crash so right now I just am using a script that restarts the rig and miner every hour or so.  But it would be much more efficient if it only rebooted the computer when a GPU crashed.

yeah 1070 is clearly not optimized btw what is your consumption, mine is 580w

580W for 500 sol, that is almost 1.1W/Sol/s. That is already more efficient than some CPU miners and GPU miners..

actually is 580 for the whole system with 3 140mm fan, so i guess i'm very near the 1:1 ratio between wattage and sol

That is more efficient than my R9 390 system. It has about 520 Sol, but the power consumption is 1160W.
