Yeah I did not concentrate on tonga cards.
I can reach 430H/s on stock 390X. Or I can try to add Pascal coin to dual miner, or improve CryptoNight miner. Need to select.

+1 for XMR. And please make -li mode smoother for win desktop. Zec is fine to use in background even with high intensities, but no way with XMR even with -li 1.

v11.1 -> v12
280 1000/1500 260sol -> 275sol
290 1050/1250 360sol -> 390sol

It is now faster than latest opti, 280 has there 260sol and 290 has 380sol.
Especially nice is that power usage is now lower than with opti.
Seems to be a good version!

Damn it, I find new assembler tricks every day. I want to use them all, this causes new delays again and again. All these things take too much time.
Right now I can release an update with speedup for Hawaii cards but I had no time to add new tricks to other cards, I need a couple days for that. So no update today Sad

Have you tested any new drivers? Would be nice to be able to just run the 17.x drivers across all cards to uniform rigs. Perhaps someone else here has some info statistics for 200/300/400 series cards using latest AMD Drivers? (this 15.12, 16.3 etc. driver mixing is driving me bonkers!)
If we did that though I don't think we would be able to mod the bios because AMD disabled bios editing in 16.12.1
Correct me if i'm wrong though.
You can always put 2 DLL's in miner folder.
It may not always help. Haven't tried with CM this trick, but opti failed to detect OpenCL devices with 15.12 dll-s while installed driver was 17.x
Depend, ofc you cannot put 15.12 if you are on RX.
It was 370, not RX. Works fine with installed 15.12, but not with dll trick.

ZEC-USD price down AGAIN - $35.39

Yeah, not sure where this is going. For the past 7 days really I have been mining to offset the price drop.

Fear not! It is just going to it's intrinsic value, which is ..

The profit is too low. We need a faster version .

Excuse me but when you have seen any better profits with faster version coming out?
If you would try to remember, then the best ZEC profits were during first days, when only very slow miners were available. They had low power usage that contributes to good profit, but key factor is how much miners are on it vs populariy among coin buyers. Can you name any single coin where it has not been this way?

optiminer-zcash-1.6.0 is 15% faster on Pitcairn.

Claymore?

I've tried it and get 240 on my rx480 ad opposed to 280 and 3 (yes three) on my 7950 as opposed to 270
Tahiti and Hawaii faster on optminer. ~10-15%

yes.yes Cheesy

It may depend on particular card. I do not see that high difference.
In my case Tahiti with opti is exactly the same speed 260 (R9 280), Pitcairn is slightly faster 184 vs 178 (R7 370) and Hawaii also a bit faster 385 vs 360 (R9 290).
Nice about opti is that it has slightly lower power usage and no so sharp and high power spikes.

Yes I'm working on new version with speedup for all cards. Need a few more days though.

Can you estimate how much will power usage increase?

Interesting fact: after modification timings Gigabyte HD7950 gives stable ~330H/s with 1% rejected. (1190/1470) - Pic 1

If increase mem frequency up to 1500, GPU gives ~361 H/s. But about 15% of rejected. In log file appears strings of buffer overflow. - Pic 2

What does this buffer overflow mean ? Obviously, hashrate indexes is not very accurate ?

Your GPU tries to tell you 'Help, help! Please don't kill meee! I am too young to dieee', but you do not listen.

I noticed an ad on Coinotron:

ZCash: 0% True PPS mining. Just change worker type to PPS !!!!
( until 2017-01-15 or pool's hashrate > 3 MH/s )

Though right now this pool has only 76 miners and miserably low hashrate.
In past it had been a very good pool for me with other algos.

280 1000/1500 -i 5 from 195 to 210
290 1050/1250 -i 7 from 320 to 320 or slightly slower

-a 0 works fine
-a 3 not at all

"-powlim x" option does not work! - unknown option.

Confirmed, will be fixed in next update.

Hi Mr C

Thanks for new version, http monitoring is nice.
Would it be possible to introduce something like "-li 2" with even smoother Windows desktop?
If I compare with your ZEC miner, then there -li 1 works fine, but with XMR miner it is not nearly as good.

Thanks claymore...
320 sols on 290x stock and
290 sols on 290 stock  Grin

Try 1100 core and 1125 mem on your 290s.. I'm getting 320ish each

290 - 1050/1250 - 320
280 - 1000/1500 - 195

How did you get it?
I have a xfx r9 290 = 295 h / s

With bios mod

suprnova again, messy, not good! First naradeva work without interest, and today compensated for their losses, ay-it is not good to cheat, I look up and smile with that arrogant bullshit, and you're a smart-ass brother fucked up. keep it up! greed is a Vice ineradicable, like the noses to break, but I wish I could meet you that would heal your illness, as they say-"Gorbatova only grave correct"? Cournot and think about life, all he returned to his circuits. Don't get me wrong, I do not write out of malice, look at all this daily chaos, and I laugh from the heart, raised my spirits!!!

WAT?

Too much vodka or samogon or some other funny substance..

Anyone know why R7 370 has 4GB's of ram but reports as 3GB's with this miner was doing this in earlier versions as well?

Why - no idea. And yes, it has been so in all versions
