MSI i am talking about…
niceeeeeee update :)))))
rx470: 180 S/s
r390x: 230 S/s
Thank you :))
i hope the GPU drop is fixed too

for my 2x r9 390x increase from 350sol/s -->460sol/s power increase only 30W on optiminer 0.6 and ethos. Great job Dev.

If you see 198 with Claymore you’re probably actually getting 191 at the pool with 1% reject rate.
I think you meant Optiminer there.
You also need to take into account that Optiminer has a 15% fee. This means that your GPUs are actually hashing 15% more (towards the dev fee) than the Sol/s you’re seeing reported. Overall this is going to have a massive network effect raising the difficulty for everyone.
On one side you get more Sol/s with Optiminer but it hurts the overall difficulty, on the other side you get less Sol/s but the difficulty stays lower. It’s a zero-sum game.

Incorrect. If I you give out 5 bottle caps an hour two to the dev and 3 to yourself. The output stays the same so the dev fee will not have any impact on the difficulty or total hash rate on the network for that matter.

Comparatively it does. The Optiminer’s extra 15% hash isn’t shown to the end user.
So, let’s compare:
100 S/s with Claymore == 100 Sol/s added to the network and then for 90 seconds that exact hashrate goes to the 2.5% dev fee. There are no Sol/s hidden from the user.
When Optiminer runs It might show the user 100 Sol/s but in the background it is concurrently doing 15 Sol/s in addition to that 100 Sol/s for the miner. The total is 115 Sol/s added to the network.
Let’s say 5,000 people use Optiminer instead of Claymore. That would result in an added 75,000 Sol/s added to the network’s total Sol/s which will increase the difficulty. This all happens behind the scenes and is never shown to the user. It’s probably why he was so secretive about the hidden 15% fee initially.
optiminer 6 is also using a bit more watts compared to claymore 8
with 295x2 i get this error in windows with optiminer 6
2016-11-25 20:24:22,331 INFO [default] Using ‘–intensity 2’ from command line for device 0
2016-11-25 20:24:22,347 ERROR [default] OpenCL error: Failed to create CommandQueue! (CL_INVALID_QUEUE_PROPERTIES)
2016-11-25 20:24:22,347 ERROR [default] Press any key to exit application.
otherwise the speeds are also about 5-10% better on claymore, not taking into account the 2.5% fee, but even with that fee thats 2.5-7.5% better
IMHO if optiminer is taking a 10% fee, he should drop it to the same as claymores 2.5% fee
this would make his miner actually hash at the same rate and people would actually use it… considering he has a windows version this could gain him more revenue than keeping it at 10% because he would probably gain a lot of windows users. where if its not hashing as fast as claymore 8, people are unlikely to switch.

First, I believe optiminer’s fee is down to 10%. Second, the important numbers are not in your miner log, they’re on the pool. It’s the share production rate that counts, not raw hash rate on your GPU. The hash rate in the log is like “This is how hard I’m working”, while the effective hash rate on the pool is like “This is how much I’m accomplishing”.
No I meant Claymore. His fee is 2.5% and with 1% rejects you would be seeing 198 * 0.965 = 191
yeah i read your post above already, i was wondering if optiminer counted the shares like claymores does, would be interesting to compare an hour of mining on each, i gotta go look at optiminer again, i got it running on one computer in windows
will proabbly try to see if linux gives better results
what do we use to OC amd cards in linux?
MSI only makes the card, the main chip is enginered or by Nvidia or (AMD) Radeon.
You must find out what card it is, it can’t be neither. Unless you’re using some REALLY old card, I mean, before 2000, like an Voddoo card or something, with I doubt.
Nvidia usually goes like “Geforce GT” and 3 to 4 numbers, or “Geforce GTX” and the 3 to 4 numbers.
Radeon usually goes like “Radeon” and 4 numbers, or “R9” / “RX” and 3 numbers.
If you are having throuble to identify, just google the info in the box or card itself, you will find out with one it is.
Then you will need to find miners for it, but, if you want to do it without many research, just download NiceHash Miner, add your BTC Wallet and click start. It should detect your card and show some information, that you could use to find an zcash miner instead of bitcoin miner.
Optiminer v0.6 is slow, power and cpu hungry on 280x, cpu i53570k
optiminer 168 h/s cpu 45% 180w
claymore 205 h/s cpu 10% 160w
All I can say is the optiminer hash rate in the logs is nearly identical to the effective hash rate shown on the pool, so when optiminer says “what you see is what you get”, it appears that it’s true. Whatever he is doing to collect his commission is not in any way impacting to log or pool numbers. If you’re mining on a pool with a static diff, as flypool does, a share is a share is a share. If it’s accepted on the stratum connection, it’s valid. Btw, I get better stability running an optiminer per GPU. With one GPU per miner, the miner it single threaded, and this seems to make it easier to recover from hung GPUs without having to physically hard reset it.
Bare minimum OC on linus on the older fglrx driver (Ubuntu 14.04), nothing but temp read and fan control on the newer andgpu-pro driver (16.04).
Optiminer 0.6.0 seems less stable under heavy overclocking than 0.5.0.
Comparing claymore with optiminer, r9 390 gives 265H/s(including devfee) on stock clocks under claymore and 265H/s(including defvee) with heavy overclocking under optiminer.
That’s probably from using the same worker name for many clients.
I get 5% difference only between Optiminer and Claymore’s on RX 470 but 20% on R9 290x.
Let’s see on the pool side.
this 0.6 version is the best yet. I’m seeing a huge boost to my sapphire RX480’s =)
thanks!
which is your increment in rx480?
