Versions 10.2 and 11.3 slow down substantially #20

In contrast to Version 9,7 that can mine at 630 h/s, Version 10. 2 slows down to 340 h/s. while Version 11.3 decreases to 276 H/s (which also makes the whole windows 10 system respond very slowly). I have tweaked with the option -dmem, but there is no improvement.

The team behind Monero has recently announced a Proof-Of-Work change for its XMR coin. The main reason for this change is to improve ASIC resistance. The new algorithm is called CryptoNightV7. I wonder to what extent this will affect Claymore XMR miner upgrade.

If the whole system slows down while the miner is running, there must be a major bug.

Major issue with release 11.3 . My whole system is sluggish and slow when it is running.. I see other people are having the same problem.. What the heck is going on ? I cant mine this way with this version..

I have successfully resolved the problem. Just specify "-dmem 0 " to disable the default "twice more GPU RAM" mode. Miraculously the mining speed rises to 568 H/s from 276 H/s. Also the whole Win10 system is no longer sluggish and becomes normal. Thank God.

After downloading and installing the AMD blockchain driver "Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute Driver for Windows® 10 64-bit​", the mining speed rose to 640 H/s from 568 H/s.
