Title: Claymore Dual mining Question
Post by: JUPIE2008 on December 22, 2017, 11:48:20 AM
Gooday all

I was wondering if somebody could put me on the right track. I installed the newest version of the claymore miner to dual mine Ether & siacoin.After creating  the batch config  on NANpool and after flashing the bios of the RX580   i get  20mh/s on ether and 620mh/s with Siacoin with dual running.  If i single mine ether only then i get 30mh/s. Is that how its spose to be or am i doing something wrong.

Question is shud i be getting 29mh/s with  siacoin running and if so  what could i be doing wrong. Thx for the opportunity to as questions on here.

P.S am only using the one card atm ....waiting for delivery of 4 more.

regards

Jupie

After months of mining with Claymore (starting with 9.4) I noticed that the speed for each AMD RX580 fell down from 27.5 MH/s to 24.7 MH/s.
I tried newer versions (Claymore 10.0) or restarting the machine but it always mines with this 10% lower speed.

Rather than consuming a lot of energy even with modified bios , you can put that card to a really good use. Switch to Claymore GPU Cryptonight miner and you will hash at over 800 h/s per card with RX 580. Earnings will be the same and the energy consumption will be way lower, about 85-95 watt for a card.

what is your batch file ? what -dcri value are you using ? try to decrease -dcri value ... start with 30 and try with lower numbers ( example -dcri 25 or -dcri 20 or -dcri 15 ).., till you find the "sweet spot" :)

eth makes more than cryptonite even with the incresed power use

Hey Ruz05 i noticed  on the new Radeon driver  there is a setting where you can change the GPU from Graphics to  Compute....... Is the new Radeon Driver better than the Mining driver suggested to use cause i have noticed the older driver do not have the option to change from Graphics to Compute.

For those not seen this its  on Radeon Settings > Gaming > Global > Down the list  GPU workload
