Claymore - Possible bug.

With 10.2 Beta I am getting incorrect shares on my two Gigabyte 270 OC (Pitcairn) (non X)

I'm using the stock settings (-h 512) on non-overclocked cards.  9.7 did/does not give incorrect shares.

For me, this miner, for the old cards type 7850(1,2gb), 270(x), 280(x) is totally unusable, unfortunately. 15-30% less hash from clay9.7 version and too manny low diff share.

I spend 40 hours of my life trying to install it properly  that at least I get at least the same hash rate, but , it's not worth it. 7850 with 1 GB of memory and 7950 remain on clay9.7, the rest on kachur miner

My two 270s get 422 and 456h/s respectively when I engage the overclock settings.  No other miner provides me with anything near that.   



I have the same gigabyte cards.

9.7 provides me with better hashrates.  860h/s between my two 270 versus 840h/s with 10.2.   I'm not running blockchain drivers though on this particular computer, I use this workstation for photo/video editing and I don't know how much the blockchain drivers will affect performance for that.




xfx and msi 270x,  claymore 10.2 show me a lot this message:

GPU0 found incorrect share. If you see this message often, make sure you that you did not overclock it too much, also try to reduce "-h" value.

i ran a test for the msi with everything in stock -h 512 and get this results:

15:46:07:999   10a4   GPU #0: Pitcairn, 2048 MB available, 20 compute units

16:13:16:690   12a8   1 minute average XMR total speed: 446 H/s


with -dmem 1 the miner drop the hashs 376 Hash/s

with the v9.7 the hash with -a 4 was 445 H/s - 461 hash/sol max

i still going to check options for this two r9 270x, if anyone like share any results for this card
