Sooo I have a bit of an unusual situation, almost nobody uses workstation GPU's to mine with, my project is over and now I have a "Radeon Pro Duo (polaris)" sitting idle doing nothing at all, it gets recognized as an RX 480/580 Ellesmere GPU which is basically what it is, but my problem is the largest intensity I can set is 2040 because any number larger just gets changed to 2040 and I am wondering if this is a software limitation? The GPU has 32GB total split into two 16GB chunks, one for each chip on the card, but it seems I can't use a full 2304 so every shader has its 2MB plus double memory enabled.

I don't suppose anyone has insight to this, I realize this is the 0.01% question but I just don't see anything stopping me from using 2304 intensity with double memory since that's only 9216MB which is well below the 16GB per chip on the card, it just changes it to 2040 when I use higher numbers.

Claymore 10.2
Windows 10 Pro
Blockchain Drivers
24GB System RAM (pagefile sizes up to 128GB tried makes no difference with or without one)

With intensity 2040 and a -20 power limit I get 1300 H/s and I can't help but wonder, what could I get if I was able to use 2304 instead, but it just won't let me set anything higher, it always changes itself back to 2040 on me, is this an internal limit since nobody expected a workstation card to be used?


try amd xmr stack
than you double or triple  the gpu thread and try different king of intensities

start with this (470 4G)
    { "index" : 1, "intensity" :940, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 1, "intensity" :940, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },

then try 940+  until you find the best setting , and check gpu memory usage

the vega 56 use  for 8G of memeory
   { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 2000, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },

after try with 3 x  or 4x (but not sure gpu if fast enough to do it)
