Probably the wrong forum thread, but can anyone point me to Radeon Fury X BIOS mods to lower power consumption? Thanks!

28MH @80 watts at the wall per card Cheesy I can get these suckers to go up to 29-30mh but this is rock solid stable and sips on power...run super cool at mid 50's with low fans. Took alot of bios modding but finally these Polaris dies are living up to expectations.

Nice speeds but I call BS at 80W per card, probably closer to 95W which is still excellent. The rest of the card adds an easy 35W, especially for non reference cards.

Why is your memory clock so low on  your GTX 1070 in your picture it says it's set to 1350 and I'm assuming that is its base frequency which means its only running at 5400 Mhz effective on your 1070 which is really low.  it should be closer to 8000 effective if not hight

That's +1350Mhz to the default memory speeds. I've added to the base, that isn't the actual speeds. If you look at the GPU-Z detail you will see the Micron memory is running at 2237Mhz.

Hello Claymore. I've been using your miner for 30+ Radeon 480's and several 390's / Fury X's. Great software with very little problems. I have recommended your software to all my mining friends which they use. I hope you can help with a problem.

I purchased a single Geforce 1070 and cannot get it to mine. I'm running Windows 10 Anniversary update with the latest drivers. I've used the same working batch file that work with my Radeons. When I launch my batch file I get an error from EthDcrMiner64.exe (latest version 7) saying

"The program can't start because OpenCL.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I have verified OpenCL.dll exists on my Windows system. I tried copying opencl.dll locally to the root mining folder (with the EthDcrMiner exe) and I get an error stating "The application was unable to start correctly (0X000007B). Click OK to close the application."

After some Googling I read new Nivida drivers corrupt OpenCL.dll when overwriting the file. So tired repair instructions listed under this website https://appuals.com/repair-corrupt-opencl-dll-in-windows-10/ which did not help me.

I'm a total newbie with Nvidia Pascal mining, can you please help? I read through your readme documentation and I see nothing specific to Nvidia cards that I should be doing to get this working. I'm at a loss and need your help.

Thanks in advance!

try with just the basics first meaning just the pool/s configuration for mining.  If you didn't change the start.bat file just try that.  I have to 1060 3GB that I have used since he added NV support without issue.
  Also If you didn't do a clean install of your drivers for NVidia for windows 10 after the update it causes problems.


Thanks for the reply. I didn't make any changes to my working batch file. I simply ran it after the anniversary update and it complained about OpenCL missing. I just ran DDU and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers recommended on the first page.

My batch file for reference looks like this:


setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal Mining_Address.MinerName -epsw x




Nevermind. I updated to the latest DDU verson, uninstalled previous driver in safe mode and installed the recommended drivers on the first page and now I'm mining away with my ITX Gigabyte 1070! Thanks for your help.

Seems to be working fine. Mining speeds are a little lower then expected at 24.5 - 25Mh. I haven't done any overclocking at all, this is just stock. I believe this card has Micron memory (according to GPU-Z) so I'm not sure if that's going to hold it back but I'll report back my hashes after overclocking.

Happy now!

Next project, flash 32 Radeon 480's with custom BIOS to bring up overall hash speeds 100+Mh. This will take a while heh. What's the recommended remote desktop software around here? TeamViewer?


OK spent a few hours tweaking power settings and overclocking / underclocking. I think I have pretty decent results for this tiny ITX Gigabyte 1070, what do you think?

Nvidia cards aren't as good for Ethereum costwise.  They do OK, but not for the cost.  They don't dual mine as well either.  Currently it is better to min LBRY with them.  I can get ~$50-55/month from a 470 with stock clocks, on Eth+Sia.  A 1060 3GB gets $40/month for similar cost.  However LBRY it will get ~$50/month.  So it is still profitable on them, just somewhat better to do LBRY right now, but it also depends on price/difficulty of that, which moves a lot.

There is a private miner for LBRY, but I don't like the idea of paying for miner, that also has a high devfee, with only slightly faster hashing, and wouldn't be worth it unless you had multiple nvidia rigs.  From the thread on it, it is also unstable at some pools due to poor network code. The dev isn't really friendly either.

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. I'm well aware Radeon's are better for mining Ether, hence why I'm mining at over a Gh with 30+ cards already. I bought the 1070 as I needed a low powered ITX card to fit in my HTPC and serve double duty. As for mining some altcoin like LBRY I generally don't bother with as I mine Ether and hold with the expectation it'll rise in value over the next few years. These alt coins (and LBRY looks like something that's being done in Ethereum anyway) come and go and are mainly good if you are immediately trading. I'll keep my eye on it but for now I rather get another 30Mh out of this 1070 mining Ether.
