Re: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v10.2

Upgraded 1 of 8 rigs with 7x RX470 4GB to 10.2 Beta. Results in picture linked below. Hash rate lower by 2-3% and heat up (which I assume means power consumption up). Seems to be a net negative over 9.7 for me.

Had to up virtual memory to 30GB and had to set -h 832 (default of 900 would crash cards).

AMD updated beta for win10x64 (from Aug23) and win7:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-[Suspicious link removed]pute-Release-Notes.aspx
Both builds have same version of graphics driver - 22.19.659.0

Aug11 beta = 157MH/s ETH + 4670MH/s DCR
Aug23 beta = 157MH/s ETH + 4670MH/s DCR


Corrected link: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2vbaqFr

Looks like 8/23 beta, as they list, simply adds Vega support. Nothing else.

Changing offset to -32 (~ -200mV) with good old Wattool v0.92

WattTool 0.92 is working with the beta drivers???

Wattman is not controlling voltages for me.

Per the screen shot I have GPU and memory voltages at 810mV. On old drivers (and using WattTool) I would see just under ~60w in SIV and roughly ~100w per card at the wall (after netting out the system draw). In this case I was pulling ~108w in SIV and ~150w from the wall for the card (after netting out the system draw). Dual mining adds about anther 20w in SIV (so, more at the wall).

Not good.

Here are my results using ethminer's benchmark mode. Clearly AMD dramatically lessened the DAG impact over time.

However, I too have power consumption issues. Consumption doubled (!) over my normal setup, presumably because I can no longer adjust memory voltage in WattTool. Is there another way to adjust memory voltage with these drivers?

how you do to make watttool to work with newer driver

WattTool doesn't work & I can't set voltage in Afterburner so I use WattMan which is the integrated OC tool in the Crimson Driver.
"Vendor independent tools (like WattTool) will have to wait for public SDK release though." is what I read about it on OC.net.

can you link to the oc.net thread?
