Hello @Zminer777, just switched from GriPro (GRIN 29 + AMD GPUs). it seems to me performance are pretty the same, but your miner is using less power and much LESS CPU intensive (at least with my 8 x RX570 rig).
Are you working to have better performance from AMD GPUS? Right now they sucks compared to NIVDIA...and as far as I know GrinGro is going to be upgraded with better AMD performances.

Thanks!
Hello,

May be you have to increase power limit to achieve better performance?
At this moment we don't see additional ways to increase performance for AMD cards on cuckoo cycle algos.
May be we can achieve additional performance by inline assembler, but it only available on ROCm drivers under Linux.

Best Regards.

Hello, I'm talking about "absolute" performance. It seems that next GrinPro release will bring like +20% for AMD GPUs (also on Windows platform), so maybe they figured something out. I'll wait for it to be released.

Thanks btw
