Best miner software for AMD GPU (crimson 17.7.1)
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2017 7:17 pm
Hi guys!
Im really new to mining,amateur level, moreover on prohashing.
But i really liked the site and the idea behind it (well played devs!
) one thing that i didnt find was a section advicing a miner software that would work here. But nevertheless i started mining (Scrypt) yesterday with the software i had got on my rig:
CPU: AMD FX8320
GPU: AMD Radeon RX480 Nitro 8GB
nsgminer (win-64) version 0.9.2
with these settings:
everything was going fine until my pc crashed.
It rebooted and amd asked me to update the drivers to version (crimson) 17.7.1 wich i did, also hoping in an increse in hashrate... Silly me!
After that ANY miner wouldnt work anymore.
nsgminer's DW index skyrocketed and the instantaneous hashrate was always stuck at 0, while the average was at around 500-ish (i suppose KH/s, but that wasnt indicated) and obviously no accepted shares.
I also tried
sgminer (i believe all versions),wich newer versions do not seem (at least to my n00b eyes) to support Scrypt or X11, the latest i tried was: 5-6-0-general;
also tried
cgminer-3.7.7b-Neoscrypt
all of those with a combination of the settings described above but to no avail.
For the latest (sgminer and cgminer) the problem was different, i didnt get any DWs but only HW errors and the hashrate was way off,like 5+ MH/s while gpu load was at around 30%.
I dont think that i have messed up my card, temperatures were always under control (peeks of 75°C) and the power consumption stayed always under the 100-ish Watts.
So, after all this descriptive part here is my question:
Can you advice me a good miner software to mine here?
- Possibly a compiled version (im not scared of compiling my own software, i have access to a linux machine too in case that'd be necessary)
- Windows 64 Bit
- optimized for Scrypt and X11
- most importantly optimized for AMD GPUS
Or another solution to mine from this pool?
Thank you very much in advance!
