I’m trying to put my RX 580 to use to do some mining and it seems like nbminer is probably the best option for it. I downloaded it from github and when I try to run it (/start_eth.sh) I’m getting the following:

Anyone knows what could cause this? I can run “radeontop” just fine, I’m getting a 2560x1440 image out of the card as well and it shows in the info center as well. Do I need a specific driver or something? https://images4.imagebam.com/0c/1c/5b/ME7MG60_o.png
Hi
Did you try --platform 2 looks to me like it only supports nvidia and cuda… My Tumbleweed system has a RX550 (Polaris) it doesn’r see it. I may also be looking for the priopriatary amdgpu-pro driver. I don’t run that here as use Nvidia for that.

Their little marketing speech is “Any Platform The software supports Nvidia and AMD, and often ranks at the top demonstrating a high hash rate on different mining algorithms” so it should cover AMD. I’ll see if I can get the AMD pro drivers installed, iirc I ran into some problem trying to do that last time I attempted it.
I think I got the AMD Pro drivers installed(?) It said it completed but with an error. Not quite sure how to confirm if they are or aren’t.
The RX 580 I have should be plenty high-end. It’s reasonably modern and under Windows does pretty well at mining (undervolts like a champ as well). Ethereum needs just over 4GB of VRAM now so that might be why you’re getting an error, my error is definitely different though as the card is perfectable capable of mining and has 8GBs of VRAM, for some reason nbminer just isn’t picking up on it.
