My first post.
4- rx470-8gb nitro  162-163 sol/s each rock solid. 1350 core, 2090 mem, 1625 Strap, -20mv 100tdp in bios  100 watts gpu-z
1 rx480-8gb ref @ only 150 sols.

I just tried raising my core to 1350 which i didn't think would be stable but is so far. I need to start lowering mV again.
1. What do you think i should expect as far as getting my -mV down lower.
2. How do i get my rx480-8gb ref high.
3. I soft bricked my rx480-4gb ref after strap mod. I think it has something to do with driver sigs or something. I can jump it to start and reflash stock bios but wont work.Help?
4.I tried 1500 strap on rx470 but seems very unstable and cant adjust clocks much any idea why?
5. Thank you Claymore. Every version has been great. 2.5% doesn't even cross my mind. Thanks again! Im in shock with the quick and stable releases.

Any and all help is much appreciated. Have been mining for years.

if driver signing is the problem, install crimson 16.9 or later. The driver signing has been removed so you should not worry about running "test mode on" or "modified .sys file"

Btw is your memory Hynix or Samsung?

Btw what is your CPU for 4 RX470 rig? That matters a lot too.

Stock 295x2, -i 4, 1100/1500, 320 H/s
Stock Nitro 470 8G, -i 4, 1350/2100, 155 H/s

In the 295x2, your running 1100 clock, 1500 mem and how about power limit? I have same card and getting 290ish.

0%. Haven't touched power limit. I use TRIXX to overclock. This is on Win7 x64 Ultimate, Crimson 16.10.1 if that helps. Temps are 70C and 67C, ambient 26C.

Maybe your card is throttling? How's your temps?

Hey,
after I switched from zcash to eth claymore miner all of my rigs giving me can't allocate dag (-4) ?? any idea what happened (all variables are set, I mined eth before zcash)

[Chuck_Norris]

Im running the newest version of crimson and tried a bunch of different driver installs. I get no video unless i jump it i'm pretty sure. I'm sending in for RMA i don't want to mess with it anymore. Spent 8 hours messing with it already. Stock rom is back on there. They shouldn't figure out it was flashed.
I'm using an i7 4770k. And a 3rd gen i5 something K with similar results

390    ~180 H/s
fury    ~200 H/s

win7 x64

16.10.3 driver

all stock bios  

with over clocks

i feel this gpus can still hash higher, temps are have not gone up  

What is your power usage on the cards? Please can you tell the GPU-z wattage values?

Thank you

gpu-z don't show watts in sensors to my fury, 290x, 390 and sapphire dualx 280x

vaporx peaks at 82w and the 480's peaks at 100w something, they are fluctuating.

Thanx. GPU-z on RX480 you can click on the Watts sign and it will show min, max, avg etc .. set it at avg and just wait for 1 min to get good average value. Just 2 cents

Those are impressive stats. Yes you are using a good processor so higher hashrate is expected. Did you use DDU to clear every trace of driver before installing Crimson 16.10.3?

Reboot in between. Clears the brains out of GPUs

correction, its my sapphire dual x 280x that is displaying watts not the vapor x

gpu-z sensor watts:

280x is about 60w (average)
480 is about 80w (average)

I tried, also I tried power off/on - same thing...
they do not work

Maybe your card is throttling? How's your temps?

Temps not an issue, with ETH I was at 71-72, with ZEC its much better at 59-63. throttle does not kick in till 74. Same win7x64 ultimate, same 16.10.1. Using the default AMD setting to OC. What CPU, RAM and MB are you using? I have rigs with low-end Celeron and others with better MB's and AMD 6300 CPU. Several flavors of each

I used the second latest Crimson version. 16.6. With a custom modded BIOS and straps, I get about 176 - 178 Sol/s for a single 290x in a 3x rig.

Another great update thanks!

This is my work PC, not a dedicated rig. Small form factor Dell Optiplex 7010 (Ivy Bridge Q77 chipset), i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz, 2 x 4GB RAM dual channel PC3-12800 (800MHz) Kingston. It had two empty PCI-E slots, so I decided to stick two risers and run two cards (470 and 295). I might replace the 470 with another 295 if I find one, or a Fury or Nano to maximize hash. Free electricity. I power the two cards using a Corsair RM1000x on the side. I tried using a 3 way PCI-E x1 splitter to run more cards, but the PC wouldn't recognize the cards. I'm also mining the CPU using Kost's nheqminer (AVX) with 6 threads (~20 Sol/s), leaving me 2 threads for work stuff. While mining the CPU the clock boosts to 3.7GHz.

Have you played around with intensity? Maybe -i 4 could be overwhelming your setup?

@claymore
thanks for the new release

is my psu enough for that setup?  my psu is antec hcp 1200
processor is phenom 955
my sempron wont work with this zcash
