AMD DRIVERS VERSION INFORMATION: If you're having issues with mining on AMD GPUs you should try latest NON-ReLive version of AMD drivers, that would be version 16.11.5

NiceHash Miner v1.7.4.2

This is a minor bug-fix release and minor feature updates.

Updates:

  • sgminer-gm-5.5.5-4 link. Supports CryptoNight and DaggerHashimoto.
    • Fast open source CryptoNight mining, to enable this miner set "AMD_CryptoNight_ForceSgminer": true in configs\General.json file (this will force to use sgminer-gm over Claymore's CryptoNight miner when 3rd Party Miners are enabled, if 3rd Party Miners are disabled sgminer-gm will be used by DEFAULT).
    • sgminer-gm is now DEFAULT for DaggerHashimoto. To revert back to ethminer set "AMD_DaggerHashimoto_UseSgminer": false in configs\General.json file.
  • AMD OptiminerZ/Zcash v1.5.0 - to enable this miner set "AMD_Equihash_3rdParty": 1 in configs\General.json file

To update from previous versions just copy the configs directory to NiceHashMiner_v1.7.4.2 folder.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!: It is best to do a clean install (not copying the old device benchmark configs) as there are changes in miner files and changes for Optimized defaults. If you do copy over the old benchmark configs, you should go to settings, check and uncheck Disable Default Optimizations. Doing so will set the appropriate default optimizations that will give significant increase in hash-rate. After this a re-benchmark is required.

If the automatic initialization fails on your machine you can download bin.zip and extract to NiceHashMiner_v1.7.4.2 folder manually. If you are using 3rd party miners you can download bin_3rdparty.zip and extract to NiceHashMiner_v1.7.4.2 folder manually.

Keep on mining! ;)
