280x/7950/7970s wont hash

AMD Cards
#9

January 28
I have managed to get an R280X working with HiveOS. What I had to do was add the following lines to the /hive/bin/miner script file to set up the correct environment variables:

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1;
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100;
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1;
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;

Hi, I also have some rigs on the R9 280X. But I do not understand Linux at all. You can throw off the rim of your system, or paint how and what to do to make the R9 280x work for Hive.
p.s. I really hope for your help.

Привет, у меня тоже есть несколько ригов на R9 280X. Но я в линуксе совсем не понимаю. Можешь скинуть оброз своей системы, или расписать как и что сделать чтобы R9 280x работали на Hive.
p.s. очень надеюсь на твою помощь.

Заставить работать старые карты можно только собрав систему на базе Ubuntu 14.04 (так как c более поздними версияит проблемы с установкой нужных драйверов) + добавить рабочий материал из HiveOS в этом случае заведется. Но если вы в линуксе новичок, то для вас это будет то еще приключение.

#11

Where exactly in miner file I should put those variables.

#12

Right at the start should do it. It is worth noting that I haven’t managed to get claymore 11 working yet on 280 cards so any version of hive above 0.5-26 may not work.

#13

I placet them at the start of the file, still no good.
Now I’m using ubuntu densktop 16.04 and i also have no luck with claymore11 plus 280x. Calymore 10.2 work’s fine: GPU0 24.950 Mh/s. But claymore11 was uploding DAG file for more than 3minutes and out od nowhere state’s that GPU is out of memory.

#14

Just checked now. I put the variables under the RIG_CONF line

#15

nice :slight_smile:

#16

[quote=“MisterSwiffer;276”]This is because HiveOS is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and AMD does not provide OpenCL drivers for that version. I already tried a couple of things but nothing worked.
The cards itselfget recognized by the system but the miners will stay at 0.00 Hashrate as OpenCL is not working.

A workaround could be an “older” HiveOS version based on Ubuntu 15.xx as AMD provides drivers for this version. Does anybody know if there is an older version available?

Also a solution could be to create HiveOS based on another Linux version like Debian. Debian 9 is LTS until 2020 and should also have the correct drivers available for 280/HD79xx cards.

To be honest for me it is a pitty as I wanted to move all my rigs to Hive but I am still using a lot of old AMD cards that I need to have supported.[/quote]

I keep hearing contradictory info on Tahiti not being supported … What about Tahiti is not supported in Ubuntu 16.04? I know fglrx is not supported, but amdgpu supports 7900 series, according to the amdgpu.ids file in HiveOS (/opt/amdgpu-pro/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids):

“6798, 0, AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
679A, 0, AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
679B, 0, AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series”

Can someone help me understand how its not supported? I admit, I have not been able to get it to work, but I think I lack an understanding of the obstacle.

#19

I was able to get my R7 370 cards working with hive. I just had to modify the “Claymore-z” script in the /hive/bin folder . Just remove the # on the export commands. And exclude the ones below them.

Only problem is how do I get this to persist after upgrade or be system wide? Without the commands, Claymore see’s the card but gets 0 hash.

#20

Any luck with 280x?

New Claymore 11.2 is out maybe it will run corectly.

#21

I put the –

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1;
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100;
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1;
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;

in my /hive/bin/miner file, just under the RIG variables and MAN did that work! I gained about 0.5K HPS on my AMD cards compared to windows hashing; worked with me R9-270 and R9-280X

#22

after add variables 280x working fine, except overclocking and fan control.
I edited and flashed bios for 280x, overclocked to core 1140 and 1750 mem, and edited custom fan control (because on stock settings it got hot ) and now it working perfectly.

If anyone can’t start mining on Tahiti cards (R9 280, R9 280x, HD7950, HD7970) just ask me, I will help. I have some problems in newest version of HiveOS (0.5-61) but it is still works.

RU

Так, кто не понял как запустить R9 280, R9 280x, HD7950 или HD7970 (все карты на Tahiti), то вот короткая выдержка:

  1. В файл /hive/bin/claymore добавляем строку “export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1”
  2. В настройках Claymore не забывает указать “-asm 0”, иначе карты запустятся, но будет нулевой хэшрейт.

Но, радость длилась не долго и у меня вопрос к разработчику. В какой-то версии Hive OS (кажется это была 0.5-50) всё было просто идеально. Мой риг из 8 таких карт выдавал аж 200 мх/с на ETHash (и это сильно больше, чем на винде). Но самое необычное, что хэшрейт был супер-стабильным. Колебания были от 199.8 мх/с до 200.2 мх/с. Т.е. разбег всего +/- 0,1% от среднего. Для меня после винды это было ужасно непривычно, но офигенно круто. Об этой фиче я расказывал многим друзьям и они стали переходить на HiveOS. Но после обновления до 0.5-58 сказке пришел конец. Да, я знаю, что конфиги все затерлись, я их восстановил как было на 0.5-50, запустил майнинг и… хэшрейт упал с 200 до 140-150 мх/с в среднем. Но самое главное - это то, что на каждой отдельной карте хэшрейт мог колебаться от 5 мх/с до 29 мх/с. Причем, хэшрейт прыгал у каждой карты из 8, но очень хаотично. Т.е. у какой-то карты в какой-то момент хэшрейт мог просесть в 2-3 раза, но у других в этот момент просадка небольшая или ее вовсе нет. Но в среднем весь риг стал работать на 30% медленнее. Да, в этой версии еще и клеймор обновился, но я пробовал запускать и более старые версии Клеймора (10.7 и 10.6) - это никак не влияет.

В связи с этим вопросы:

  1. Что обновилось в HiveOS 0.5-58 по сравнению с 0.5-50? Нигде не нашел changelog, Может драйверы обновились?
  2. Как откатиться до старой версии HiveOS? И правильно ли я понимаю, что сама она обновляться после этого не должна?
  3. Я пробовал заново на флешку накатить именно тот образ, который качал в самом начале (0.5-50), но сразу после запуска у меня стартовала макимально свежая на тот момент версия (0.5.-59 в момент эксперимента была) - как можно сделать так, чтобы при первом запуске HiveOS не обновлялся?
