![]() We did this by running Claymore’s miner in benchmark mode to check the hashrate on our GPUs on future epoch numbers. ![]() Chances are they are looking into a solution at the driver level! While we wait for AMD’s response we fired up Claymore’s Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.5 and test seven AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards to see how the perform on future DAG epoch numbers. We’ve reached out to AMD and shared some of our benchmark data and hope to they are looking into this issue as well. So probably this hashrate drop cannot be fixed, at least on miner software level.” – Claymore I checked possible workarounds, at least for Polaris, they failed. Claymore’s Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner is one of the most popular miners out there and it appears that Claymore can’t ‘fix’ the hashrate drop on the ‘miner software level’ according to a recent post. These cards use the AMD Polaris GPU and over the past several days the community has tried to find ways to overcome the Polaris hashrate drop that recently happened. The bad news is that the AMD Radeon RX 470/480 as well as the Radeon RX 570/580 cards took the biggest performance hit. ![]() When the move to DAG epoch #130 happened it seems that the AMD Radeon 400/500 series cards took a performance hit while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1000 series cards and older AMD Radeon 200/300 series cards did not. Back on June 1st, 2017 we were mining on DAG epoch #126 and three weeks later we have already moved onto DAG epoch #130. The Ethereum DAG is a key component for the proof of work algorithm and is generated for each epoch at around every 30,000 blocks. Seeing your mining hashrate drop is nothing new for Ether miners and it is usually due to the growing DAG (directed acyclic graph) file size. If you are mining Ethereum you might have noticed that your hashrate recently dropped if you are using AMD Radeon RX 400/500 series cards. ![]()
