Damn! That's _WAY_ higher than I even guessed it could be.  I'll set it to 35 and let 'er rip for a while.  I'm still a noob, no doubt about it, but I do remember seeing "30" listed somewhere.  I thought it was a single digit, and as I recall it's set to 9 by default?

Anyway, let's see how it rides.  My mining rig with dual Asus RX590's and a Asus GTX1080 GPUs will be put together next week.

One a side note, I sure am glad that I purchased my video cards back during the holiday season instead of postponing it until I was ready to invest more heavily.  The prices I found when I went looking yesterday are just freaking insane!  My 1080 "OC" version is now going to around $900, and that's IF you can find it.  Darned RX590's are up to $600/$750 again - IFF.  I went back and looked at the "README" file and it does discuss it somewhat, but nothing truly conclusive about what you want/need, especially for nVidia-based GPUs.

One other side note that I should post while I am thinking about it, since I feel certain that Claymore actually reads this thread: "Please!" blank out or mask the -mport -mpsw in the log files: I wanted a friend to take a look at them to see what he might notice as far as my restart problem and noticed that it's printed in clear text at the top of the log when the command-line is echo'd out to the log.  Not good security, and we have enough things to remember these days.

Thanks, everyone!


P.S.: I noted when I tried "-ecri 35" that the max possible (at least for nVidia, I guess) is 16.  That's where I am at this point.

Use numpad + - to set DCRI on the fly, then press "S" for stats, you can rough tune pretty quickly, This method sets for all cards, so if you have mixed cards, tune for each card, update batch file or config file, then restart. For 580s 35 may be decent if clocks aren't too low.

BTW, hook me up with an "RX 590" would ya?
Well, I thought the same thing after re-reading the README file, but it's not the case for nVidia-based GPUs, only for AMD.  I have a pair of OC'd RX 580's (one Asus 8GB "Top" OC and one Sapphire "Nitro+" 4GB) cards sitting here waiting for my DOA Z270 mobo to get back to me, so I'll be able to tune those more easily, obviously.

I haven't seen the stats ("s" key while running) with an AMD-based GPU yet, but nVidia cards apparently don't show that much except basic stats.  Of course the hash rate is there...
