Title: Difficulty with sgminer/ethash
Post by: twicx on January 21, 2018, 03:06:32 PM
Having some frustrations mining Eth on sgminer with ethash. As a little side note, I'm preferring sgminer to claymore because I'm getting the same hashrates with lower power consumption.

Here's the problem I'm having. I'm using 10 x 580s and 2 x 560s. Other command lines are xintensity at 512 and worksize at 128. Miner runs fine for maybe an hour or two (temps hover between 62-68C), but then cards will start to crash (says DEAD in sgminer).

So here's the trade-off. With those settings, I'm getting 29.5mhs on the 580s and 13.5mhs on the 560s. I'd be happy to bring those figures down slightly in the interest of stability. But between xintensity and worksize, which will have more of an effect on stability?
