Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[heavyinbitcoin12]

Yep, 7950 can do something like 110-120 H/s I guess

Actually the 7950/280x is by far the best card for zcash. They cost $80 and can do 180 h/s easily constantly.

This is without mods. 110=120hash was like version 5 man. Need download version 7 for 180hash

[blimeyfool]

someone to share h/s with Claymore 7.0 R7 370 . my hash rate is 520h/s with 6 R7 370 2Gb
thenks.

I get about 85 - 90 on mine.  Overclocked to 1125 / 1500 power -15 in Afterburner.  One runs at about 80C and the other around 70C (I have it set as -tt 80 - tili 85 -tstop 90) and the fan runs about 60% (I want to improve my cooling, but it is very stable right now).

So, it sounds like you are in the ballpark with 87 per card.

This is true with modded bios.
7950 165 sols
280x 180 sols
rig with 1 7950 & 2 280x 510-520sol/s @ 610-620watts from the wall. system idle 175-190watts.

Yep, it's true: 175-180 h/s. And no mods, only overclocking (1180/1500 for me).
BUT, there is a downfall:
ETH mining, v 7.3 - 845W from the wall on 4x280x
ZEC mining, v 7.0 - 915W!!!

I'm new to all the mining things, but how can you trust someone, who uses closed code, meaning, that noone knows whether or not the moment you run it on your PC it does not start sending all your data to foreign sources. Starting with your location, ip, IP camera, etc, and in the same time is asking for a percentage of your earingings in order to cover the abovementioned?

Well you can never know for sure, but there is such as thing as packet capture programs you can use to monitor the traffic being sent in/out of your machine in detail. Wireshark is a good place to start if you are actually interested in learning. https://www.wireshark.org/#download

[spyder09]

Got my rig running again on v7 I swapped riser and installed drivers again for my older cards and bingo running stable right now. All stock unmodded (that I know of) 2 r9 280x at 168 each and 2 r9 380 at 118 each for total about 570h/s
Not sure on power usage I don't have a watt meter

mod your bios. can probably reduce power consumption.

What happens if the code is linked or transmitted within the crypto transactions we are all making?

1) What (TH) do you mean with "the code" and "crypto transactions"? The communication with the wallet/pool? What should, for example, flypool do with this sent extra information? Do you have any idea how mining works?
2) Everybody should and can have control over any traffic inside and leaving his network if he wants. But many just don't care (enough)...
3) Start with using packet capture like Za1n suggested.

[GH]

I meant from me to pool.
But does it mean, that the miner program cannot get our IPs? And transmit them by ETH project?

Every target server you connect to (for any purpose, not only the "mining program") knows your public IP address. That's how the Internet works. But let's stop this here, it's getting off-topic.

anybody with 290x Shapphire bios mod ?

First off you should not mine with anything important on your pc.

I have macs for important info and I mine with diy pcs

Another (less safe) way is to restrict the particular program's access to all resources it doesn't require by using proper access permissions and software like Sandboxie.

[kisk]

if anyone have Asus Dual OC Edition RX 480 4GB.
can he share h/s on zec

Have 3 of them all running right at 160sol/s at stock speeds on Win7. Driver = v16.11.3

[xeridea]

You can achieve easy with and 480X over 200 H/s.

What you need? Not the 15.12 Driver A newer one. Runs stable for me.

And a custom MOD BIOS (I used them for ETH, also increase the ZCash Hashrate).

Power consumption ?
Because a good custom RX 480 8G are the same price that R9 Fury

If I remove the power limit and let the card go for 200W, they are hashing to 245-265 H/s depending of the cards
R9 Fury are also often better in others algo (32MH/s ETH + 800 SC at stock without powerlimit)

Fury cards are stupid power hungry though and most require 8 and six pin connectors

Wow ... "stupid power hungry", any data about your judgment ?
as I said, mine are doing 225-230 H/s with a 120W restriction (1.9 H/W)
If your RX 480 can achieve the 180 H/s it seems they do with 95W at wall (not on GPU-Z), then RX 480 and Fury will have the same efficiency. And even with that, I'll pick the Fury for the higher perf.

I don't know why people are bashing R9 Fury, they are really way cheaper now.
In my country a Custom RX480 8G and Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X are sold the same price.

As you said, may the PCI-E connectors need can be an argument if your PSU don't have enough.
But IMHO, the power consumption of a Fury is not an argument to bash them

Youre kidding right ? the non nano Fury cards have a TDP of 300watts, the nanos have a TDP of 220 and will pull more than that amount when going full bore, I have some Nanos so i know how much actual watts they draw.  The 4X cards have a TDP of half that and use about half the amount of power of the furys, 14nm proccess will do that.

setting a limit on the sofware of 120W does not stop the card from drawing far more power when it is mining, check your wattmeter and your power bill for your REAL power draw.

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-fury-x-specs-fiji/

a fury has a higer TDP than a 290x there is no way you will convince me a fury uses 120 watts to get 225 h/s when a 290 non X uses 200 watts to do 200 h/s

He is close...Mine use 155w at the wall for 225h/s

How is power/Solves for somewhere in the middle?  I think they can do like 280Sol?  What would power be for say 250-260.

[JJ12880]

I am having issues with my HD 7990 mining on v7.0  (basically 2x 7970's in one card)  The card works fine, when using only one of the cores, but when using both it crashes after a matter of seconds. When using just one or the other of the cores, it works without issue.  I have ruled out power and overheating issues. Research suggests it may have something to do with the drivers creating a crossfire bridge in the PCI bus, but I have not found much info on that. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated

[BitJunkie556]

Claymore is a freakin' God. His miners just keep getting better and better!

As of 7.0

Powercolor R9 390 - 215 Sol/s

All my 380's - 105-110 Sol/s.

Only thing is on one of my rigs, having a weird issue with GPU utilization, not sure why, but no big deal. Thanks a lot, Claymore.

P.S., sometimes I do get an issue. "Miner thread hangs" and the miner needs to restart, especially on ethereum. Only happens on one rig, but it also happens with this Zcash miner as well. I was thinking maybe a memory module in one of my cards is going bad, but I really can't prove that one way or another... It does make mining ethereum impossible, but Zcash runs for a long time without crashing, so that's still okay for now I suppose.

[goen]

rma 2 gpu today.
tweaking is not always end happily 

also.. waiting a new version of Claymore. Hope it kicks some power...

Crossfire has to be turned off. Do that with the Radeon Settings under Games.

How in the world are you getting 180 h/s on a 7950. I have 4 different 7950's and they average 125-145 sols/s. Stock bios

The 7950 do 150sol/s but the 7970/280x can do 180sol/s easily.
