Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v12.5 (Windows/Linux)

Getting hang in opencl call message with R9 390X.
Along with: GPU returned incorrect data
Tried with new riser (powered usb3), same thing.

stats:
+13mV
+0 power limit
1080 clock (stock)
1500 mem (stock)
stock bios

Tried:
new riser (didnt help)
lowering to -i7 (didnt help)
lowering to -i6 (didnt help)
+50mV (didnt help)
+100mV (didnt help)
lowering to -i5 (didnt help)
1050 clock (didnt help)

Help pls.
Other 3x R9 390 mining steady on that same rig...

Did you replace the power cables and the USB cable going to the riser as well?  most of my 'riser fails' have been actually due to those 2 cables and the riser is actually fine.


Since i dont have any more risers, i mounted the 390x directly on x16 slot, with no risers.
That seems to have solved the problem...

Thx for help

My MSI R9 390s went from ~405 H/s to ~415H/s
MSI R9 390X no noticable increase.
Sapphire R9 390 slight increase, hard to measure

Will report in 24h!

How much average H/s can I get with using R9 290 cards?

I am considering buying r9 390, r9 290 or r9 290X.
Anyone here using these?

These cards use lots of power.
Expect 370h/s for 275w using R9 290x with 390x bios mod @ 1150/1350mhz +25-50mv.
290h/s-310h/s with stock/stilt bios @ 1000/1250mhs.

Unless you can get 390 really cheap, stick with R9 290x + R9 390 bios mod. You can get R9 290x down to 150w but hash rate will suffer.  You need to use server power supplies for 290/290x/390/390x but you can get away with a single 1000w for 5x RX 470, 750w for brand name with perfect cooling.

At current prices your profit really depends on the price you pay for electricity.  It's really hard to beat RX 470 efficiency with current power prices.

Everyone is expecting a pump before AMD releases VEGA, which is Q2 2017. You *might* break even R9 290x by then. 
AMD is *speculating* VEGA being 2.5 faster than POLARIS, in other words 1000h/s for 250w.



Thanks for the info.

Why the hate towards R9 390 Huh

v9.3 ~ 320 H/s
v10  ~ 329 H/s

Same core/mem clocks.
Sticking to v9.3 for now...

Anyone else with r9 390 notice this?

At what temps do you keep them?

Anyone has any good BIOS mod for them?

XFX pro 850W 80+ bronze
box says 2x 6/8 pin, 2x 6-pin, 24-pin mobo, 8-pin cpu along with abunch of molex and SATA connectors.


You can try to plug one 6-pin and one 8-pin plug to your card.
Or you can look for PCI-E 6 to 8 pin adapter, like this one

Thx for your help, gonna order a couple of those right now.

@bardacuda good luck mate, tell us how it went

it is 390, sry about the typo

what numbers to set for "easy" OC that doesnt cut into card lifespan much?

btw, I was thinking about getting another one, but my psu doesnt have anymore connectors. R9 390 uses 2x 8 pin. I believe my psu can handle the load, its 850W, but it doesnt have any more 8 pin connectors...
Is there any adaptors molex-> 8pin? Or something like that?

What is exact model of your PSU?
You must have at least 2*6 pin and 2*8 pin PCI-E connectors.

XFX pro 850W 80+ bronze
box says 2x 6/8 pin, 2x 6-pin, 24-pin mobo, 8-pin cpu along with abunch of molex and SATA connectors.
so i got 2x 6 pin left to use, along with molex and sata connectors.

So there is no room to add 1 more r9 390?

Has got to be 390.  My 390 slightly overclocked is getting 290~sols/s with v8.0 i4.

or 2*380

If I put
-i 2
in config, i get a crash, while
-i 1
works stable.

Is my R7 260X too weak for -i 2?

Start by using the start.bat provided with the miners.

You'll mine a while for the developers but at least you'll know where to start

driver reinstall seemed to solve my problem

thx for advice

Make it big... If planning for a multi GPU rig, make it 16GB

It is 16 gb, so far I only have 1 gpu.

Same problem why I try Claymores Zcash, claymores dual eth or genoil zec miner.

Re: Ethereum mining still profitable?

How long till ethereum becomes POS? And what does that mean for small home miners like me?

I moved recently to a place where my work pays for electricity so I want to start mining right away to get a little extra income.
Can you suggest me some hardware to start?

So far I have this in mind:

mbo ASRock B85M Pro4, s1150
cpu Celeron G1820, 2700 MHz, Socket 1150
2x gpu XFX R9 390 8GB DDR5
ram Kingston 4GB, DDR3, 1333MHz
hdd 512 Gb
psu XFX 850 W

Is this okay for mining? Please suggest better/cheaper hardware.

I opted for only dual GPU because of the noise and heat, this rig will be at my home. I might buy more GPUs if find the noise tolerable...
