Yeah I am not a fan of Windows either and how they have a monopoly over everything.

However it's not like that, the drivers can be installed on Linux even manually, there are plenty of tutorials out there how to.

On the otherh and I have bought a brand new laptop for my wife last month and I put a Linux Mint on it, and it worked like magic. It had a state of the art video card in it, and the Linux distro had all drivers for it by default.

So most linux distros come with dirvers on it.

If you want to be efficient though, you might want to use a basic OS for it that is command line only and install the drivers manually on it. It will be hard work, but it will be more efficient mining.

You can't manually install drivers that do not exist https://betanews.com/2015/11/24/amd-kills-gpu/ Crimson drivers hosed ubuntu, old drivers won't install on new kernel, solution would be to run old ubuntu with beta catalyst like I did 4 years ago, but then I'll have trouble compiling miners to satisfy newer dependencies, so may as well just use windows and eat the bloatware Cheesy

Yeah in an ideal world, in the real world you download the official drivers from the manufacturer's website, you select linux, you ./run-their-binary reboot and end up with hosed installation. And the OEM is like;

I really hope you have it downvolted! my 7990 runs at 1 volt, compared to 1,2 stock. Watching your temps, I can almost asume u have it downvolted.. Wink

Yeah of course, I have them with edited bios at 1050, had them on linux for years until two died then retired this rig until a buddy of mine had a go at resoldering the chips took him a week but managed to bring them back to life.

Why are your guys mining on Windows? It's a bloated shit.

Get some basic Linux OS, possible a command line OS and dont run any other apps while mining. Why waste computer resources on useless background shit.

Only have the miner running.

Yeah I know what you're saying, however I failed to find appropriate drivers on ubuntu that worked for these old cards as amd stopped support for them. Wasn't too happy with windows 10 but at least it works.

I don't understand. Isn't there like a command line based miner like for console based linux only, or DOS even.

The drivers can be installed from the manufacturer's website even to linux. In most Linux distros they come shipped with the kernel.

Guys, I don't advise you to mine wth a sysrem based on windows
You can upgrade to Linux, It may look difficult for beginners but you'll get used to it. Wink

Important reminder to all miners: you still have about 4 days left to update your daemons to 0.11.0.0 before the fork. Updating is mandatory, 0.10.3.1 will be forked off the network at block 1400000.

To clarify, upgrade is needed if you are:

1. Solo mining
2. Using the daemon with a wallet
3. Running a pool

If you are pool mining then you don't need to update your miner but you do need to make sure your pool has upgraded. If not then switch pools. Check the current list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6yuv2s/psa_users_solominers_exchangesmerchantsservices (if your pool is not listed as YES, switch to a pool listed as "YES")

I downloaded the monero cli the other day, but I don't know if it was 10.3 or 11. How do I check?

The name of the file you downloaded? Read the Readme.
