Genoil
Slow RX 480 mining
Using OpenCL platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing gpu#0: Tahiti gpu#1: Ellesmere gpu#2: Tonga
zec-sa#0: 27.6S/s zec-sa#1: 30.6S/s zec-sa#2: 22.2S/s total: 80.3S/s zec-sa#0: 24.2S/s zec-sa#1: 29.0S/s zec-sa#2: 22.6S/s total: 75.7S/s zec-sa#1 submitting solution zconn submitted and accepted.
So my R9 280x is almost getting as much as my R9 480x? My R9 380x is getting less than the 280x. Why is my RX 480 getting suck poor results?
Got the same on my RX480s - ranges from 15-30S/s and not very stable.
All 3 report 75-80S/s at most, not ideal as I would expect them to be around 30S/s each and a total of 90S/s
Rig is high spec as well, i7, 32GB RAM, SSD etc... so plenty of resource for Genoil.
Similar problem on R9 390. For several hours, they (got two of them) submitted something nearly 2000 shares/hour (Flypool stats). Now they dropped to approx. 600 shares / hour, no matter what I try.
- Windows 10
- i5-6400
- Sapphire R9 390 (x2)
- 16 GB RAM
- Plenty of SSD space
- Everything is brand new
BUT: thanks a lot anyway, as it is the only miner that works with AMD on many pools.
@EvilCodingMonkey it's normal with flypool + genoil, shares submitted drops drastically with time. I haven't tested with other pools, will check nanopool soon
@MGraf023 Really? Is there anything I can do on my side? If not, any other pool you can suggest? And thanks for the info!
@EvilCodingMonkey make a loop, e.g. :start start genoil.exe ARG1 ARG2 ... timeout 900 taskkill /F /IM genoil.exe timeout 2 goto start This will kill the miner every 15 minutes, which will "reset" the share submission
@MGraf023 I made something very similar to this 2 days ago. It worked great for about 30 hours. Now the shares have dropped a lot (like I wrote). I tried rebooting several times, resetting Trixx settings, no luck. Just to make sure, I went back to ETH mining: everything ran normally. Here's my batch script:
I set the P flag to 1 because 0 is the CPU's integrated GPU.
:loop start genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u [wallet_address] -p z -P 1 -g 0 1 -i 20 -w 64 timeout /t 600 taskkill /f /im genoil.exe timeout 2 goto loop
@EvilCodingMonkey Are you using genoil 0.5? I found 0.4.2 more stable so I'll stick to it right now. Also, have a look at the difficulty and pool stats. The shares you submit are tied to the pool stats and overall network difficulty and so on, so it's obvious they will drop.
@MGraf023 I was using 0.4.2, but swtiched to 0.5 when shares dropped yesterday. I'll give 0.4.2 another shot later today if things don't change.
You are right about difficulty, but it doesn't seem to be rising that fast for now: http://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/zcash-difficulty-chart
Again, thanks for your time. I'll post back here if I find a solution to my situation.
@EvilCodingMonkey wait until ETH miners realize the situation and start switching over to ZEC...
@MGraf023 Ha ha! Totally true. With a 25% working mining software, I still make 3-5 times more money mining ZEC compared to ETH. I don't think it'll last for too long, but who knows?!
@EvilCodingMonkey Pool sets difficulty based on your hashrate to control how many shares are submitted to the server in certain time. (You might want to Google how pools work and what shares are)
Simply you can't determine how well you are doing based on how many shares you have submitted except when pool has 'static' difficulty. Nanopool has static difficulty and One share always equal to 8.5MH for Ether.
@letsdevus Thanks for the heads up! I didn't realize that. So I submit less shares, but they have greater "value" because the pool sets me on a great difficulty (nothing to do with global network difficulty)? I'm gonna Google that as soon I as I have a minute.
