Has anyone else noticed an issue with the power flatlining and the hash rate getting a boost? I've had two separate cards, one MSI FE, the other Gigabyte G1 Gaming, and both will run for hours (sometimes days) at a time before the power goes from it's usual noisy band to a flatline. The plus side is the hash rate (on lyra2v2) goes up 2-4%, while the power reports being at the limit (81) or sometimes lower (71, see pic below). The downside is the GPU temp increases 3-4 degrees, which is fine because I run it at a cool 69, so it only hits 72-74, but still, I'd like to know what's happening. I suspect my PSU (EVGA 500W) is not enough for an OC'd 3-fan 1080, but I'm limiting the power to 81%, and there's nothing else running on the machine besides p2pool and a wallet in server mode. Anyhow, it was an amazon warehouse deal, so someone else returned it, possibly for this exact reason. But the thing is, I like this, and I'd like to know how to *force* the card into this mode, because I'd like to permanently get the bump in hash rate. It'll stay in this "flatline" mode for hours, sometimes 24+, but eventually it goes back to the normal noisy band, then returns again later (usually around 12-16 hours).
Your "flatline" happens for core clock 1696, notice that when its bumpy the clock is at 1835. So my idea is that on a constant(unlimited)1835 you would have an even greater hashrate, but driver is hitting OC / OV limit and keeps throttling the card to keep it in limits. It might be a driver issue that it keeps switching between those two "modes", or you are just at a boundary of two boost modes. Anyway, to force the flatline I would force the constant 1696 clock, or raise the power limit to not throttle the card at 1835. |

I have a question
Does the GTX 1070 only do poorly with Eth in windows, or is it for all coins?
And how does the GTX 1070 perform on dual mining. I am not seeing mention in the last few pages.
Claymore hasnt released his dual miner for nvidia cards yet. |

getting this error on one of my 9 rigs:
ETH: Received error: {"id":4,"result":null,"error":[21,"jobnotfound"]}
bat file:

Anybody understand what it means?
Getting the same, I think it marks a stale share. Best if claymore or ocminer could confirm. |

Can you actually connect to suprnova ETC?
Offline for me for some hours now.
Working perfectly fine here, which Error do you get? There is also a separate EU and us chain available for mining. eth-eu and eth-us Will recheck now, claymore miner switched to failover and never went back to suprnova. Will add US as failover then. PS Please check my priv response to our convo  Edit Reconnected with suprnova now |

exactly
ocminer, please check my priv message |

Current network hashrate is around 270GH/s, so his 98 are nowhere close to 51% |

Suprnova pool should be coming soon.

of note - there's been a lot of discussion about the RX-480 drawing excessive power from the PCIE slot (and software updates made to correct the issue), its likely the strix has the same concerns since it only has a single 8pin power connection. has anyone looked into or experienced issues with this on the GTX 1070?
There are no reports of such behaviour for 1070. If you follow the specs this card can draw 75W via PCI-e and 150W via 8PIN = 225W total. IMO no chance this card draws too much from PCI-e. 480 has the problem, cause it can only get 75W from the 6PIN (the cables can deliver much more, but well specs are specs) AMD tried to desperately fit this card with a 6PIN for marketing purposes. |

I have this strange, at least for me but maybe is normal, behavior if I connect the monitor to one of my GPU all works fine but in case I start my RIG without a monitor connect to a GPU or connecting the monitor directly on VGA output of MB the Radeom driver doesn't start and I can not mine.
There are some workaround ?
Yeah that can happen. Either connect a monitor or buy a dummy plug / make your own. ( https://rumorscity.com/2013/12/06/how-to-create-dummy-plugs-for-your-graphics-cards/) - first link I have found, google for it if needed. When I was playing with dual setup of nvidia / amd cards on the same rig, I noticed that leaving the AMD card at 16x riser solves it as well without connecting the monitor. Still it varies from rig to rig... |

It is possible to mine sia (blake(2b)), from nicehash?
There doesnt seem to be an endpoint for that yet. |

"GRS 57.64 MH" - Thats not for a single 280x card, right? Afaik 280x mining solo GRS does about 24Mh/s
You need to read all the notes. That is CPU Mining GRS + GPU mining EXP/SIA. EDIT: Here's a youtube video: https://youtu.be/lZP0ZTZubTIAbout 1:40 of mining so you can see them both miners running. Claymore for dual mining GPU and cpuminer-opt for CPU mining. I have read them all, now its more clear that you mine GRS on CPU only. Btw your GRS speed is 1Mh/s, not 57.64. Not sure what the other reading is... Maybe total hashes calculated so far since last share? |

It also depends GREATLY on the cards you use. 280/290 get a big boost mining EXP. I get +5 MH on those mining EXP and I triple mine, SIA, and GRS at the same time.
The 380s I have don't get a speed boost so I leave them solo mining ETH all the time. I don't think the extra SIA boost on those is worth it. Just makes them hotter.
Just my 2 gas.
You launch groestl miner on top of Claymore mining ETH+SIA? Give us some numbers  BTW great idea to switch 280/290 to ETH forks with smaller DAG size. You can't launch miners on top of each other. Your speeds will be linearly decreased/increased. Needs to be coded properly like Claymore did with DCR and SIA. Yes they have to be coded right. It took me a lot of tries to find the right combination of miners. Even within one coin you have to try to find the right miner. Different miners mining the same coin can cause problems. I tried a bunch. Also my dual core dedicated mining boxes can't handle it. An i7 that was built to do a lot more than just mine can handle the triple mining just fine.

I noticed. Im not sure what the reason is. On whatomine all numbers are available. Wolfchange uses $.. not sure what conversion rate/fees EXP is still more profitable, but only for 24h averages. Current to current difficulty ETH is more profitable now. You can customize the sorting and which difficulty_span is chosen for revenue calcs. If difficulty increase for EXP will reduce a bit to stay in line with % price increase then EXP should win the day (or price continues to raise without the raise of the difficulty) |
