only 5xx cards are involved with voltage issue, all my 4xx cards are downvolted and working fine with latest beta of MSI AB



Same here driver working perfectly also with newest version of ab 16 beta i was able to close voltage issue, set core and mem freq.
Only i have problem on one rig i cant install driver as it said that i allready have newest version of vga driver installed. What to do? To unnistal first ? As on few tiga i just go update and all pass normaly. All my cards are saphire 480x 4gb...

If you have Sapphire, use Trixx to undervolt. It will show 0 for cclock and memclock but you can control undervolting and fans.

Been running this driver for almost 2 days. Most stable/accurate effective hashrate I've had since starting to mine.
If ethermine would stop having problems it would be even better.



What version of trixx? I instaled i think 5.0 and when run it a see that it dont show cclock and memclock soci turned it off..  also what i noticed when i run trixx is that program itself run very slow almost not realomding... but probably problem in version..

Running this driver for almost 24h on my saphire 5x 480x rig... Reported hasrate is 145.2 like before dag average hasrate is higher by 3-5% then on rest of rigs also number of shares much higher... only problem i jave is that i csnt undervolt cards as claymore making spikes one second voltage go down then other second return to default and afterburner voltage settings also dont work.. any solution for undervolting?

Try Watttool. Also there is a new version of AB supports this new driver patch.

What AB? I am using beta 16

I've tested this on all my rigs and at first glance all seemed great.

I did have to bypass windows not allowing me to assign a unsigned software.

My hash rates appeared to be the same as before the nasty Dag creation started.
My power usage is the same after under volting.
My REPORTED hash rate to the pool of course matching my Rigs hash rate.

BUT here's the kicker my effective hash rate on the pool is about the same if not a little less than it was before applying the driver.  So my question is this.
Is the driver merely creating false readings on the cards with no actual effect on total shares submitted to the pool much like when you think you have found the golden card that reports a hash rate of 45Mh/s when in reality its only hashing at the same speed as the others.  Had the new Driver running for 7 hours now ....so of course I need test some more just incase its the pool on a go slow....although it normally only takes a couple of hours to get fairly accurate readings.

Same situation here... Reported hash rate is like before but efective has rate i think same. Also number of shares same.  Testing it for 8 hours so far so maybe need more time. Btw how you undervolt carda as i was unable to do it with claymore neither with afterburner newest beta 16?

On my rig with 5 x saphire rx 480 I firstly instaled newest afterburner beta 16, driver, patched all goes perfectly. After restart i started claymore my hash rate completely returned to 145 mhz.. Each card giving 29.263.. My setup for afterburner are core voltage -60, power limit 0, core clock 1150, memory clock 2000.. in claymore -cvddc 1025 Rig is working stabile for few hours so far...

But what i noticed in afterburner  is that there is big fluctating in gpu power usage it goes from 85-110w and also gpu core voltage is fluctating from 0.956 to 1.075...  This big oscilating are not good or it is normal as before on same rig i was  getting 87-90w power usage and core coltage betwen 0.981 with little oscilating to 0.987.. Didnt have device to measure real usage from wall...

How to solve this?

How to check how much power my rig is pulling from wall?

one of these is great to use they don't cost much but only work in 110 lines you can search the UK site for one that works on 240 line but good luck getting it shipped to the US if that's were you live . some kind safely issue won't allow it .

my bad

https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Meter-100A-Volt-3-Wire/dp/B00GMZRXE8/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1478811987&sr=8-12&keywords=kill-a-watt+meters this one will work on a 240 is buy able in the US now .

but direct pulling into a 240 so far there is not one that it buy able in the US the buy able US sold one only plug in to a 110 wall plug the above monitors your hole house.

Need to find one workig with 220-240 as i leave in EU and need for 2 pin plug.. thanks to all who reply

i found a way to speed up multi gpu i removed all amd drivers and disabled windows auto driver feature then i installed 16.10.3 for my r9 380x , 16.10.2 for my rx 480 and 15.12 for my 7950 from device manager.

How much you get on r9 380?

On my rig with windows 7 ultimate and 16.10.2 drivers with  6 x MSI r9 380  -80/800/1500 setup on afterburner gettting about 35-37 h/s in total about 220 with new claymore v3 zcash miner mode i-2. Is that Ok or i can do some other setup and get more from this cards?

If you guys look at GPGPU Benchmarks
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU16/1512

You will notice that the 480 8GB will at max be 20% faster than the 290 under full optimization.

Comparing the results


480 8GB - 120MH/s
290 - 107MH/s
280x - 83.3MH/s
7850 - 45.5MH/s

Using the same ratios that leads to Claymore software

Nano - 98 Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
Fury X - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
480 8GB - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally.
290 - 75 Sol/s
280x - 55Sol/s
7850 - 30Sol/s

We are FVCKED if some developer released a Optimized Nvidia ZEC miner however because if its released and uses a similar hashing algo as Claymore then...

GTX 1080 - 262MH/s
GTX 1070 - 224.4MH/s
980Ti - 213.6MH/s

Converting to what we have now


GTX 1080 - 183Sol/s
GTX 1070 - 157Sol/s
980Ti - 150Sol/s


Thank god all the Nvidia miner devs are greedy and keeping everything PRIVATE.
