Anyone else using the xmr-stak miner? Looking to start mining monero with my AMD cards but want to make sure i pick the right miner.
The XMR-STAK-AMD miner was ~15-20 H/s slower than the Claymore miner on my RX series cards. I also couldn't get the XMR-STAK-AMD to work for my HD 7850, that works with Claymore.
For best hashrate use SGminer, but if you like me and like stats and watching them on simple webview use XMR-STAK-AMD. Claymore is from my view worst option. It has about the same hashrate as XMR-STAK, but a lot higher wattage. For better hashrate with XMR-STAK-AMD and SGminer you need to tweak conf file, those stock aren't very good.
With the Claymore miner I used the same settings I used for ETH, 1150 MHz core 2000-2075 MHz memory and get between 725-775 H/s on RX 570 and 480/580.
The XMR-STAK-CPU miner also gave me a 50%+ improvement over the cpuminer-opt miner on an i7 4770 to ~325 H/s.
Monero and ETH are both memory intensive algos, but I would say Monero more depends on core clocks than ETH. You could adjust core a little bit more.
