Mining with ADM Radeon RX580

[1polo]

Hello everybody

I’m writing in this category because I was not able to create a topic in the mining section.

GPU: ADM Radeon RX580

I’m new to mining so I need some newbie support.
I downloaded the nsgminer and registred an account on give-me-coins.com.

When I start my batch script it does not give me a hash-rate bigger than 0.
This is my batch file:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
nsgminer.exe -k neoscrypt -g 1 -w 64 -I 16 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -O abrozek:password
pause

Any suggestions what I do wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Where did you get that measure?
on give-me-coins or from your miners display?
It may be a good idea to just type the ‘nsgminer.exe…’ line in a command window only.
Even without the settings you do before in the batch file, it should either start hashing or return some warning/error Messages.

I get it from the CMD window.
Looks like this:

When I just start nsgminer.exe without any parameters it asks me for the pool adress and the username/passwords.
And after I add the information it’s the same.

Further suggestions? :-)

Hey you in luck. I got the setting in a config file for you.
What is you card model? Let me know as I only use AMD cards for mining. As I also use my rigs as Rendering farms as I create animation as a hobby. I have most amd cards 580 and 570. If you want to reach me in other ways to get the best and safe hash rate let me know also. I have a 4 rigs and 12 cards.

Hey thanks for helping me.

Card model: ASUS DUAL-RX580-O4G - OC Edition - Radeon RX 580 - 4 GB GDDR5 - PCIe 3.0 x16

Can you post the config for that one? :)

[GrimReaperMiner]

Sorry for the delay I’m doing maintenance on a couple Of my mining rigs. I will give the configs later today in about 2 hours okay. Sorry for the delay.

You should be able to post in mining once you’ve announced yourself.

[GrimReaperMiner]

This is my .bat file
color 0d
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
nsgminer -k neoscrypt --gpu-map 0:1,1:0 -g 1 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u GrimReaperMiner.TheReaper -p 2g1r5i2m1r0e
pause

This is the config
worksize" : “128”,
“shaders” : “2048”,
“kernel” : “neoscryptt”,
“gpu-engine” : “1380”,
“gpu-fan” : “0-65”,
“gpu-memclock” : “2100”,

@GrimReaperMiner Thank you Grim, I will try it tonight and give feedback. :-)

@wrapper I saw it afterwards, that I have to introduce myself for posting in other categories, I’ll do that.

[1polo]

Seems to work now, thank you! There was also a issue with my grafic card driver.

But I do not see my hash rate at the give-me-coins.com homepage.
I’ll give it some more time.

Is 35KH/s a normal rate for this grafic card?

[GrimReaperMiner]

No you should be getting something close to are 500kh/s.

I don’t know if it the work load. I notice I made a spelling mistake in the kernel: neoscrypt. With one T.

I know I had another forum that had the same question when I had the 570.

Also don’t add the gpu map setting i added that because I had my miner switch cards so had to switch them back.

[mikegeog]

Hello,

is there a difference in hash rate if the the RX 580 is 4gb ram or 8gb ram version?

[GrimReaperMiner]

I don’t know.

[Wellenreiter]

Neoscrypt is memory intensive, so more memory should give better results.
@Ghostlander has done a lot with the cards, may be he knows more details

[ghostlander]

@mikegeog There is a difference, though not much.

[1polo]

@GrimReaperMiner Sorry for the later response!

I get now between 900 and 1000 KH/s. I guess that’s okay.
The problem was related to the antivirus and ports. And in the beginning I did not create a worker on the pool homepage.

Really newbie problems.

Thanks for your support.
