22 Jan 2021 It is time to dust off those old AMD Radeon R9 290/290X and Radeon R9 390/390X GPUs you may have lying around and wondering what to do and make them mine Ethereum (ETH) with full power and some nice profit as well. The Hawaii and Grenada GPUs that these Radeon video cards use feature a 512-bit wide memory bus and that is more than welcome for mining Ethereum, even if they are already pretty old. You can be getting about 29-30 MHS hashrate for mining Ethereum (ETH) with these, although they are more power hungry than more recent GPUs that offer the same performance it is still worth it with with high mining profit we have at the moment. With Radeon R9 290/390 GPUs there is a bit of a catch in order to get 29-30 MHS Ethash mining hashrate with about 150-200W of...

23 Jan 2021 The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X 24G (Nvidia RTX 3090 or GA102 graphics processor) features 10496 CUDA cores with 1860 MHz Boost clock for the GPU, it has 328 TMUs and 112 ROPs, the SM count is 82, there are 328 Tensor cores and 82 RT cores. The card is equipped with 24GB GDDR6X video memory with 384-bit wide memory bus running at 1219 MHz with 19.5 Gbps effective memory speed for a whooping bandwidth of 936.2 GB/s. Normally the RTX 3090 GPUs are rated at 350W TDP and need 2x 8-Pin PCI-E power connectors, but these SUPRIM X cards have a TDP of 420W and feature 3x 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. This is important as it means that you would need 18x 8-pin PCI-E power connectors and a powerful enough power supply or actually two for that matter to make your life ea...

24 Jan 2021 There is a new Release Candidate (RC) version of PhoenixMiner 5.5c available that brings some new features, improvements and fixes over the things introduced already in the last beta version PhoenixMiner 5.5b. Do note that if using the miner on AMD GPUs, although it comes with support for the latest AMD Windows driver 21.1.1 it is still not recommended to use them as there seem to still be some stability issues. If you already are using the previous 5.5b beta version you might want to give this new release candidate a go, otherwise you might want to stick with the previous stable 5.4c release for a bit more. PhoenixMiner 5.5c RC Full Changelog:– Added support for the latest AMD Windows driver 21.1.1 (still, we don’t recommend using the 21.1.1 driver yet – we ...

24 Jan 2021 Team Red Miner is a performance optimized cryptocurrency miner for AMD GPUs with support for a number of algorithms with the latest major version 0.8.0 bringing rewritten Ethash kernels and new mining modes for all GPU types. This means you should get better hashrate at a slightly lower power consumption on most recent AMD GPUs. In general, TeamRedMiner (TRM) behaves similarly to other AMD ethash miners, the key difference is the additional mining modes (B/C-modes) that use additional VRAM on the GPUs for further beneficial effects. Key highlights of the TRM 0.8.8 release:– Polaris: Efficiency and slight hashrate increase. B-mode reintroduced for added hash. B-mode must be enabled with --eth_aggr_mode or --eth_config=Bxxx.– Vega 56/64: greatly improved base k...

25 Jan 2021 Up until not long ago Ethereum (ETH) and in general most of Ethash AMD and Nvidia GPU mining was mostly done with Claymore’s Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0, but unfortunately the miner stopped working as it had support up to DAG Epoch 384 for Ethereum. Furthermore, Claymore, the developer of the software has apparently disappeared or at least has stopped updating his software, so miners had to go for alternatives. Currently the most popular miner that has succeeded Claymore’s miner is PhoenixMiner, but Claymore’s miner is not entirely dead yet. Enter the user Justaminer on Bitcointalk, who has apparently modified Claymore’s miner without having access to the source code in order to make it work once more. Just_a_miner’s modification called More ...
