Re: SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.7.0 - native algo switching
Same here epic failure for r9 280 Dual-x (compute errors, 0 h/s, red everywhere, no need to ask drivers, oc, compute, lock memory pages all ok! i have a Vega 56 rig too doing better but still 100w more for V8 than V7 and 100h/s less...
)
i dont want to be disrespectful with your awesome work and support (really) but:
As you ask on your 1.7.0 release post: NO! WE DONT WANT USELESS EXTRA TUNING GADGETS to mine 10h/s more but screwing up 50% of our gpu's and all pasts benchmarks.
I mean of course if it's usefull, like very usefull i'm ok but:
i MINE : CryptoNight ,CryptoNightAlloy, CryptoNightArto, CryptoNightB2N, CryptoNightFast ,CryptoNightHaven ,CryptoNightHeavy ,CryptoNightItalo , CryptoNightLiteV7, CryptoNightSaber, CryptoNightStelliteV4, CryptoNightV7, CryptoNightV8 with a profitability switcher that i coded
if i need to bench (x8)²x508x48 possible settings/cards/algo on every release i'll rather to stop using a tool that will makes me spend more time to bench and set up than to mine ...
SO PLEASE YOUR PROGRAM IS GREAT!= new goodies or i dont know how do you call this (fragments, bralock, aes) and all these ****** settings which makes me pull my hairs off for 1 week to earn what: 10h/s or 0========E X I T !
very easy fix, use old version that good on r9 280 und problem solved
my vega & rx rigs thank you for 1.7.0 doktor!
I use minerstat switcher for this rig (this is my PC in fact...) which cannot reach old api requirements (which change on every release too)....
API in SRB changed on every release?
Hello !
Is it possible to set up a forcerestart windows 10 when the miner crash? Every miner crash I lost remote access (teamviewer, google remote) to the mining RIG and I need to acces physically to the rig for shutdown.
Well if windows hangs then you can't do anything else but restart the machine physically.
Maybe you should lower a little bit your overclocking settings so it won't hang ?
I tried but my Vega ( 56 reference blower) are already running at low speed 1395 / 925 . Miner crash every couples of days (5-6) , there is only 1-2 compute error per card after one week running. I don't know how to identify the bad one.
No i'm wrong (fast answer... i was deleting my post.sorry..) just minerstat default value didn't match with the new/old 1.6.8
"(- API parameters now have to be set in start.bat (--apienable, --apiport, --apirigname) , removed them from config.txt)"
I use 1.6.8 for r9 280 dx, i need to check when minerstat auto-update miners to force it to roll back/downgrade....it's ok for a 10/month miner not for my 3x6 Vega 56 (Sapphire Pulse 56 nano PCB which are amazing...btw!)
1.7.0 for my 56s running ok with default settings, it seems to draw less power than 1.6.9 and prev'
<=1.6.9 :220w of the wall OC 1508/950 Cv8 2000H/s
1.7.0 :190w; gpu-z says 130w/150w= 2000H/s Cv8. (Cv7= 2100H/S)
This my settings if some people want to share there values for general improvement this is mine: (suggestion; add a page on SRBMiner site to compare best settings/card/model/SRBMiner Version, looking for a precise information on this forum is sometimes ...tricky! exemple: XMRStak - https://www.xmrstak.com/category/xmr-stak-amd-configurations/amd-vega-56/)

@ Doktor83: i apologize, i have been disrespectful with your work (even if i didn't want to be)! sorry again. you do an awesome job with this tool which is my favorite since quite a while...keep going dude!
There is a DOC maintained by users here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pH326fwnYWC5Jef2FdF4KnJ4CLj0cwDDtGjrlgekk1A/edit#gid=514064850 it contains settings for various cards.
It can be found on the first page , under the Tips section.
No problem i got used to angry people
What is really making me confused sometimes is that some complain on XY gpu new version is a lot worse, while others for that same XY gpu say the new version is a lot better.
I know something got 'lost' for older cards on the road, in the next version i will again add a 'useless extra tuning gadget', which will maybe bring back what got lost for those older cards.
