Hey guys. What miner do you recommend for WIN 10 with AMD Sapphire 7970 GHz (Crimson 16.1)? And what are the bat/conf specs, please? I have already tried sgminer5, but it is constantly crashing.

Thanks

I had the same issue. I think it has to do with the newest firmware updates from AMD. I couldn't ever get my Fury X to stop crashing on sgminer. I just started buying on the exchanges. It's cheaper now than mining, anyway. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you come in the irc channel, wolf is there. He's the algo guru. He might be able to assist you.

I use sgminer but with 14.6 driver

Sgminer 5 has been working very consistently for me. Check your drivers. My AMD Sapphire 7850 needed driver version 14.5 before it would mine. Read any errors/logs if you have an issue.

Here is a .bat that should work, Invoker:

Code:

color 02
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
C:\Users\Steven[replace with your username]\sgminer-5\sgminer.exe -I 18 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 13188 --rawintensity 131088 --worksize 64

Of course, adjust the path as needed. I can't promise that is the perfect config for your 7970 but, my 7850 never complains, nor my other GPU's and all put up very respectable marks. Don't forget to crank the fan up to 100% when you do get it to hash.

It can be frustrating, installing new drivers, uninstalling, reinstalling. Trust me, I know that frustration well. Others get lucky and it works the first try. Persist and you will get it. No one said it would always be easy. Wink
