okay so which is best pool for now as we can see most guys are complaining about dwarfpool

They all are more or less - same. Some more luck today, some tommorow but newbies always know best...

Hi, can anyone tell me which card is currently the best for mining in terms of h/w. Currently I have 2x rx470 4gb and 1x hd 7950 and I get 615 h/s with 440w consumtion. I have them all undervoltet. If stock, rig is working at 540w. I have opportunuty to get msi rx480 4gb for 220€ but am not shure to buy it.

For the best H/$ you need to look at the Fiji cards.  The R9 Fury is about 345H/$260 running all out and 300H/$260 running efficiently.

Edit: For the best H/W you need to look at the 1070.  The H/$ on the 1070 is quite a bit higher than the Fury though.  

For the most efficient overall gpu with a future other than just Zcash is the RX 470.  Getting them in the USA for about $164 and getting 231Hs = $/H = 164/231 = $0.71 cents per hash (use this measure is for purchasing).

Long term you need to evaluate the Hash per Watt = H/W.  You want this number to be as large as possible to be most efficient.
Each RX470 is reading an ave of 70W on GPU-Z.  Hash per gpu is 231Hs.  H/W = 231Hs/70W = 3.3Hash per watt.  

Whole system (7GPUs) at the wall is 1623Hs/1258Watts = 1.29Hs/W

*Hs = SOLs = Hash

I think that when buying GPUs for mining other important factor is resale value. I know a lot of guys that have free electricity but instead of R9 390s they got for RX 470 because in case something change they will always be able to sell them to gamers.

hello guys. again me i need a little help.  Would it be a problem to use two different chipset graphics cards? Such as rx 480 and r9 290x?

nah - shouldn't be. I run a nVidia GTX along side a RX480, hah.

hahaha:) really?  If it s working i am thinking of buying r9 290x

yeah you can run 290x with 480 , just buy nano instead of 290x the price is same
even nvidia can run with amd card on same special msi motherboard,

thanks dude one more think How is the r9 290x tri x?

Warm and sound... omg is this Claymore's tread?

390x are more likely to hold value than 470s if you buy the 390s used vs. 470 new. Just a point.

Nvidia people are beating us.

Almost 500 H/s with their overpriced 1070 and almost 600 H/s with the even more overpriced 1080.

Dear Sir,
I have a strange issue(I don't know if its issue at all)
This is displayed when I start miner.

AMD Cards available: 1
GPU #0: Hawaii, 3072 MB available, 40 compute units
GPU #0 recognized as Radeon 290

But clinfo recognizes it correct:

Number of devices:                               1
  Device Type:                                   CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU
  Vendor ID:                                     1002h
  Board name:                                    AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 Series
  Device Topology:                               PCI[ B#2, D#0, F#0 ]

And also the memory of the GPU is 8GB, not 3GB as zecminer says...
Should I be worried?

I have 2 7950's. I get 200 per card. Would love to see the settings on that card.

1190/1575 on 9.2 running under 16.12.1

See my value with Green.

how did u get 500 sols with GTX 1070? Many are getting 380~400 sols with latest miner.

@claymore
Thank you for your great miner but i have a question. On my r9 nanos iv seen only 2gb of memory used to mine... there must be soace for the other 2gb to be used effectively right? I mean i want to try utilise the whole of the gpu which could enable alt more hashes if correct? Maybe im wrong lol

[QuintLeo]

Can You tell me few online USA shops with good price of RX480, please?

 NewEgg's eBay shop - which has a lower price than their main website 'cause they don't waste the money on those stupid "free game" offers.

 It's a bit of a pain to set up compared to keeping it "all in the family", but yes you can mix and match.

 Also, seems to play more reliably if you don't mix generations, and don't mix venders.

 With that said, I do have several rigs that run an AMD APU (R7 generation graphics) with NVidia cards, and one "monster" that runs an A10-7860k with a NVidia GTX 950 and a pair of RX 470s.

 I DO wish someone (HELLO GIGABYTE?) would come out with an "ITX Shorty" RX 470 or RX 480 like Gigabyte has for the GTX 1070.

 Next best option would be AMD dropping the price on their WX-series cards to something SANE instead of the crazy-high current pricing compared to non-WX equivalents.

 Check drivers FIRST - AMD is REAL spotty on supporting pre-R9 3xx cards with the same driver version you need to run the RX series, for some reason they only support SOME of the R9 2xx series on the 16.x.x series drivers.

 I'm not sure they even support all of the R9 3xx series drivers on 16.x.x as I don't have any of that series so never had a reason to check compatability.

Nvidia people are beating us.

Almost 500 H/s with their overpriced 1070 and almost 600 H/s with the even more overpriced 1080.

Not true, With Samsung memory stock = 400 , OC - 420 , Micron memory stock =380 , oc - 400

A few people are getting almost 500H/s with the 1070 and one guy has like 540H/s or so with the 1080 on the Nicehash miner.

Sound and heat will not be a problem for me. The price of the 390x is a bit expensive compared to the r9 290x. Is it worth it?

sure.It seems to support 16.12.2 drivers in both. On my drivers 16.12.2. What else should I look at?

[forzendiablo]

how many sols per 480x cards ?
