I have a 6700XT and ver. 10.5-beta3 does not work at all. I'm using Windows 7, 21.5.2 drivers.

ASM kernel - not working!

Re: New to mining with RX 6800 super low hashrate

I have the same problem, 6700XT and only 29 Mhs max. If I lower the core frequency to around 1400 Mhz, then I get only 22 Mhs.

And I too am on - Windows 7 (<-culprit found!).

have anyone seen real hashing of 3950? On the internet values are sooo different, starting from 13khs up to 20khs...like whats the stock clock hashrate with good board/mem timings, but WITHOUT OVERCLOCK...

With top notch RAM (3600 Mhz, CL14), properly set timings, and a moderate all core overclock (4 Ghz, @1.15v), it's a tad over 17khs, probably closer to 18khs on Linux.

Does anybody know if any of the following cards even work with this miner (10.5 for AMD, 10.3 Nvidia)?

Radeon RX 5600 XT, RX 5700 XT, Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080

And if so, what CPD are they capable of?

Re: RagerX - New All-In-One Monero (XMR) RandomX Miner
by
Pinocchio
on 12/12/2019, 22:03:22 UTC
Creators of XMR Stak? Well, they're doing it wrong all of a sudden then...

Mistake 1 - Dedicated OS

Makes sense for coins mineable with GPU mining rigs, but most home miners are using their computers for mining Random X coins that they need to be able to do a lot of other things on. So, any RandomX miner hoping to get widely adopted would have to work with mainstream operating systems.

And let me guess, to get the 10% speedup, this OS is required. To eliminate it would mean to lose the 10% gain.

Mistake 2 - exclusive pool, high fee

This miner only works with its own pool. And there is a 3.5% fee. When other miners and pools offer a lesser fee combined, what's the point?


Fix these two issues, and then we can talk. But I bet that they won't do it because they know that if they do, they won't have a noticeably faster miner than XMRig.

The author of XMRig posts on Twitter, he could add the checksum for each new version there at the time of announcement...

Some results (ver 10.3 vs 10.5):

Radeon Vega 56: 0.7 CPD -> close to 0.8 CPD
Radeon Nano: 0.5 CPD -> close to 0.6 CPD
Radeon Rx 480: 0.4-0.42 CPD -> 0.43 CPD

Rx 480 doesn't give me 0.5 CPD, what sieve size and similar settings should I try to get there?

What CPD can we expect from Radeon VII, and is there going to be any work done on optimizing this miner for it as well?

So, you're selling it. And it's not yours. May I sell your car? Grin

I bet even the author would make me a custom version for my personal use with no fee for less than 0.03 BTC. Cheesy

Mining on an R9 Nano (Win 7, 17.12 drivers, powertune +50), I only get around 10.5 cpd with this miner, but with Claymore's solo miner I get 15 cpd. Clearly the card is capable of way more than 10 cpd...  Is there anything specific that I need to put in the bat file or something to make my card wake up or could it be that this miner is not well optimized for this particular card?

Re: Optiminer/Zero v1.2.0 (AMD+NVIDIA GPU) Linux+Windows

I tested version 1.1 on my R9 Nano 4GB (Win 7) with Adrenaline drivers and it does not work. No errors are reported, the command line simply goes to 'pause'. Are 15.12 drivers an absolute requirement?

And I wonder, would there be any additional performance increase from Vega Frontier Edition's 16GB RAM compared to Vega 64's 8GB? Maybe it would make sense to add support for it...

My experience is the same as restless.  On my two gigabyte 270OC, 9.7 is still the best.

11.0
-h 448 -dmem 1 (11.0 default) - OpenCL hang.
-h 512 -dmem 0  - 840h/s
-h 256 -dmem 1 - 810h/s

9.7
-h 512 (default) - 855-860h/s

Similar with me. I have an R9 Nano 4GB, Win 7 x64 OS, 17.12.1 Adrenaline drivers...

V10.2 = 865H/s
V10.2 -h 920 = 875H/s
V11 = 465H/s (dmem autoselection reports 1)
V11 -dmem 0 = 815H/s (uses less than 2GB of VRAM)
V11 -dmem 0 -h 990 = 865H/s (uses around 2.1GB of VRAM, any other -h value reports a lower hash rate)

Weird. Back to v10.2 for the time being, I guess...

Version 9 can't be downloaded.

mega: loops "requesting folder data" - doesn't go to download page
google: "download quota exceeded for this file, you can't download at this time"

EDIT: managed to do it via mega, with the latest Firefox.

Genoil v0.5 was released only  ~8h ago, and you have made in ~8h, when diff is rising, more then in 2 days here, when diff was decreasing? Wow
Yeah, I did, although that includes the time I spent mining with v0.42 as well (a few extra hours). Version 0.42 was the first Genoil miner that I got working on my machine, v0.5 was released shortly thereafter. In the last 18 hours I've managed to get over 0.005 ZEC with Genoil v0.5 at close to 40 sol/s. But in the previous two days with eXtremal's miner, I only managed to get slightly over 0.002 ZEC @ 15 sol/s.
Needless to say when I wanted a payout or lowering of threshold, he:
-did not respond to private messages
-did not respond to email from first post
-did not pay or adjust threshold

Pool support email is also not even working, probably never was... 

Given all these facts... why bother?

I don't understand why anyone would still mine using this miner and pool...

Pool fee is 4% I think, Suprnova's for example is 1%. Minimum payment (crucial detail for small-time miners) is extremely high, I don't think the operator acknowledged one request for a 0.001 payout threshold. At Suprnova, you can set your own amounts and withdraw your earnings yourself.

I made more ZEC in less than a day using the Genoil miner v0.5 (GPU only: R9 280x, 1200/1650, 38 sol/s) than in two days using this miner and pool (15 sol/s, GCN 1 card thus Silentarmy not functional, v2 not yet added to this miner).

Hey, Claymore...

1.Does this miner support AMD R9 295x2?
2.Does the miner see it as two 290x's?
3.Would this card's performance be on par with two 290x's?
4.What kind of performance gain, if any, could one expect to see from the newly released 290x 8GB vs the regular 290x 4GB?

Yeah, me.

Looks like version 12 does not even work with drivers other than 13.12. I don't want to use 13.12 drivers, because I use a lot of other software that benefits from using the latest drivers. I don't mind a 2% loss of speed, as long as the miner works properly. I get this: 

Code:
LOOP UNROLL:pragma unroll (line321)

Does anybody know how much faster this miner is with 13.12 drivers compared to 14.4? I'm not sure it's worth downgrading...
I get 6.2 CPD on my R9 280x at stock speeds (6.4 CPD at 1250Mhz core/1650Mhz mem), miner v9.1 with Catalyst 14.4...
