Miner- Claymore's Zcash Miner

Exactly man. Driving me nuts. Need some more admins up in here.

news about Linux version?

Not really. The noise is pretty comfortable. I can sleep with working miner :slight_smile:
Fan is running at 38%, GPU temperature is 58 C.

Which driver you suggest for r9 290 and 290x on win 64?

Make some calculations mate,based on new equipment forget old one,4xRX480 8GB+HARDWARE roughly 1700USD,calculated ZEC *800H/S,equal 190 bruto profit monthly, when electricity is subtracted at recent hash rate,also consider downtimes of miner to about 5% and dev fee 2.5% we came to 130usd monthly NET thats 1550usd per year,so ROI is about 1.2 years…

15.12

But using the latest driver on my 390x performs just fine too

That’s because you are doing it wrong. I can build a 5x RX470 4GB + hardware rig for $1,100 that gets 900h/s. Using your math this would yield around $150 monthly or around 7.3 months to ROI. Using my power consumption and electricity costs I get closer to $200 a month which would only take ~5.5 months.

where do you get those price from? 2,2K for 6x RX 480 8 GB with good PSU and you get 1200 H/S....gives you netto almost 200 a month, so you will ROI in 11 Month…but to my mind ROI shouldn’t be that important…and since its holiday time soon we will get better prices for the GPU’s sure.

Well, i bought some second hand R9 280x Vapor-x cards setup, and had 6 cards with mobo’s and powersupply for 800 $.
I already one card wo was ROI already.

At the moment i am hashing at 1658 sols with 7 cards on 1168 watts total.
Power is expensive, 0,191 kwh, but my profits are still 6 a day.

So, the rest will ROI in around 800/6 = 133 days.

You never know for sure, there are a lot of factor’s in place. Diff, price ZEC, price BTC.

When i hit a certain amount, and ZEC price keeps stable, i will expand.
For now, if 1 ZEC stay’s above 50 $ i will hold…

Mate i can see ur very new to crypto mining,u cant rely on same hash rate difficulty till 5 months period at all as it increases gradualy,and who cares if u have lower or no cost electricity and totally discounted hardware(despite 1100usd is not possible if u want solid hardware) i counted average miner with payed electricity,and the time u were writing ZEC is down and hashrate up actually,u need to be realistic and not only look short itme,rather long term when mining,im since 2012 in mining,but now its worst time and wouldnt invest penny if starting mining,ull see in 1 month what i was talkking about…

240 H/S with r9 280x is not possible mate,i duno what u calculated as r9 290x gives about 230-250 best performance,i see so much pumped numbers in hash rate,tried almost every card already for zec with different bioses,and alot of numbers here are about 10% more than actuall value ,and btw u dont count peaks u count average percent from card,as u can notice people writing their gpu peaks,and forgot about connect/disconnect from pools…

Actually the point was that if you overspend on the rig it will be that much harder to recoup your costs no matter what the difficulty. With several capable (~180 sols) RX 470’s now available for under $170 it is not hard at all to put together a decent rig for $1,100. As far as solid hardware, I have been using the same philosophy for rigs that originally started out mining Bitcoin that are still running solid today. Over paying for commodity hardware is no guarantee of longevity and a sure-fire way to losing out on profitability.

I saw on wiki:
Various R9 290X 4gb (390X mod bios) 310 1125 1600 5 Claymore 8.0 16.11.4
Which modded did you use to get 310?

Where to download the latest version of Clymore?

All the bugs are fixed in that release?

It works well for me.
He is also working on a version 9 which is supposed to be faster. Don’t know about any bugs or stability…

Anyone tested any single slot (no extra power) AMD cards that get about 100sol/s with V8?

Interesting I have the 4GB cards and they do 188/190

Where do you get Rx 470 under 170?
