Hi, can someone report how much hashrate they get with respect to the hardware?
e.g. Vega 64 = xxxH/s, RX570 = xxxH/s, etc.

Hope that can be a guide for newbie, thanks.

plz help, have 6x rx480 dual 8gb (mod bios) and so many problems with cards, stability and fluctuations 28-29mh/s to 15mh/s and les .....use Claymore 9.2, and 16.11.5 driver, overcloc 1100CC / 2000MC ...... can any put here what is the best over cloack for this cards, and good seting for claymor, i dont understand whats is -ams 0 or -ams 1 , 2 plz explain some ....whats best setings for DUAL, and  only ETH.... sorry for bad English  

Did you try to adjust the -dcri parameter? Try to adjust with +/- key while running to get best mining speed.

Yep i try that, and noting, same problem Sad

Sometimes inappropriately modded BIOS can cause a stability issue. Also try to overclock from Crimson software only, not from miner software, coz I got a similar issue before by adjusting GPU parameters from miner software itself. I mem clocked to 2050 and so far so good to my RX470.

With some fine tuning, and since AMD cards are more efficient than before, mining with GPU can be a way to go with current altcoin price, but it still depends since no one knows what will happen next to the altcoin prices.

One more thing, if GPU mining becomes outdated, it can be sold to budget gamers as a plan B to get back money, unlike ASIC machine, if the hardware outdated it will just become trash and no market value.

I'm sick to death of my miner crashing.  I have six rx 470 8gb sapphire cards and it can run ok for days, then locks up.  Then I have to restart it about 10-20 times because I constantly get the message "Ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working".  Then I go into GPUZ and see that one of the cards is not reporting data fully.  After 10 restart or so it starts working again, and I get a few more days mining,  sometimes less.

What could be causing this?  All cards are cool, well ventilated running at 74 degrees contant.  this issue is really pissing me off now. All parts are relatively high quality,   EVGA power supply etc.

I am running win 10 64 bit

remove and reseat everything. run memtest86 overnight.

all vbios stock?

No I modded them for extra mining capabilities and it worked well for a while but now it's crashing a lot.  I am sick to death of the "Dcrethminer64.exe has stopped working" error.


Check gpu-z for cards with Hynix ram lol.

GPUZ reports the ram as 8gb samsung.   But sometimes certain bits of data are missing from the gpuz report on one card or another.  Can't remember exactly which bits of data, they are usually blank.  When you see that you know without doubt claymore is going to crash.  But sometimes it still crashes when GPU is reporting everything is OK on all cards.  It's a shame because if this carries on I will have to sell up.  I just ROI'd thanks to the ethereum price shooting up but I wanted to run it for a year or so.   It is taking up so much time now and I cannot nail down the issue(s).

Do you check the PCIE riser? GPU also draw power from motherboard through PCIE.

Hi, Nice to meet you all. 1st time to post since I've been following this thread.

I owned RX470 (Hynix) card and is really suck compared to Samsung RAM, but I flashed the BIOS to fix the voltage and RAM min. frequency and still running so far with dual mining mode, but performance still worse than Samsung counterpart.

I've been using Chrome Remote Desktop and so far so good, no issues.

Live long to Claymore!
