Claymore GPU Miner Read Me
=========================
This is POOL version.
Catalyst 15.12 is required for best performance and compatibility.
Set "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT" environment variable as "100".
For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:
"Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtu
al Memory".
This miner is free-to-use, however, current developer fee is 2.5%, miner mines 3
9 rounds for you and 1 round for developer.
If you don't agree with dev fee - don't use this miner, or use "-nofee" option.
Attempts to cheat and remove dev fee will cause a bit slower mining speed (same
as "-nofee 1") though miner will show same hashrate.
This version is for recent AMD videocards only: 7xxx and 2xx, also 6xxx and 5xxx
. No nVidia support.
This version is for Windows x64 and Linux x64 only. No 32-bit support.
Linux version also requires AMD APP SDK installed. Linux version has been tested
in Cent 6.5 and Ubuntu 14.04.
Miner has built-in GPU overclocking features and temperature management.
SAMPLE USAGE
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80 -u 449TGay4WWJPwsXrWZfk
MoPtDbJp8xoSzFuyjRt3iaM4bRHdzw4qoDu26FdcGx67BMDS1r2bnp7f5hF6xdPWWrD3Q3Wf7G6 -p x
Do not forget to specify your wallet address!
FAILOVER
Use "-o" option or "pools.txt" file to specify several pools. Every pool has 3 c
onnection attempts. "pools.txt" file has text format, one address per line.
If the first character of a line is ";" this line will be ignored.
After pool address you can also specify login and password, use space as separat
or, for example:
mro.pool.minergate.com:5556 yourmail@gmail.com !
or
stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80 449TGay4WWJPwsXrWZfkMoPtDbJp8xoSzFuyjRt3iaM
4bRHdzw4qoDu26FdcGx67BMDS1r2bnp7f5hF6xdPWWrD3Q3Wf7G6 x
If login or password are not specified, "-u" and "-p" parameters will be used.
PERFORMANCE
About 810 h/s on stock 290X (Hynix memory).
About 710 h/s on stock 290X (Elpida memory).
About 690 h/s on stock 290 (Elpida memory).
About 550 h/s on stock 280X (Hynix memory).
About 440 h/s on stock 270X (Elpida memory).
About 410 h/s on stock 270 (Elpida memory).
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Install Catalyst v13.12.
2. Disable overclocking.
3. Set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100.
4. Set Virtual Memory 16 GB.
5. Reboot computer.
TUNING
For 290X/290/280X/270X/270 you can leave default parameters, i.e. do not specify
"-a" and "-h", miner will apply best settings automatically.
For other cards, guide how to get maximal speed:
1. Try "-a 1", "-a 3", "-a 4" and select best mode, press "m" key to see immedia
te hashrate.
2. Remember "HashCnt" value when miner starts, then specify "-h" parameter with
this value, remember hashrate and change "-h" parameter step by step by 32 in bo
th directions (less and more).
Select best value based on immediate hashrate.
