ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1

[anakbaru]

anyone can help me?
i only get 7 Mhz, with zotac gtx 1060 3 gb
Windows 10
Cuda 8
Latest NVidia Driver

You must update win10 to The Windows 10 Creators Update

Thanks, it works

For mining Eth only,  ethminer is doing better than Claymore or not? ( with AMD RX5xx GPU).

Thanks

More or less a tossup, but Genoil miner doesn't charge a fee.

I'd like to give it a go but it doesnt pick up my two 1060's only rhe intel onboard graphics (primary as the hdmi port is being used so using the vga on the mobo).

[JCK_21]

i try to explain the problem as detailed as possible even if English isn't my first language:
I have a mix Rig with Nvidia + Amd Cards:
4x GTX 1070
2x HD 7950
1x R9 270x
i tried to run the miner with all cards on opencl launch parameter:

ethminer.exe -F http://******:7777/*******/GTX*** -G --opencl-platform 0

with this command the program only selects the 4 1070s and if i do

ethminer.exe -F http://******:7777/*******/GTX*** -G --opencl-platform 2

i get all my Amd Cards. Is there any command to select all cards to run in opencl ?

JCK

PS: with --opencl-platform 1 i get my Intel Graphic HD.
and with -X i get 0 mh/s.

I dont know how to get this rocking with sexy.pool im using the nvidia optimized version as per bitsbetrippin on youtube, any help how to lock in the bat file would be appreciated

Check the help text for optimised CUDA version, you gotta have to specify the stratum number in a bat file, the default might not work.

There wasn't a help txt file in the version I downloaded, went to GitHub, no help txt option either for nvidia

Give this download a try:

I have been running this version for a while now, but I've noticed that the effective hashrate is lower than with claymore despite this miner reporting a higher hashrate. Anyone else notice this?

Testing an RX480 with this miner.

I use an MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8GB. I noticed an strange issue: I always get 22.5 - 23.5 MH/s reports whatever I set for the gpu and ram frequencies.

Every clock is stable I set (gpu-z shows me rock solid graph):
1303/2000 --> ~23 MH/s
1350/2200 --> ~23 MH/s

Claymore gives me rather RAM sensitive results, with GPU I can go down to even 1200 MHz with no decrease in hash reates.

 Run 2 instances, one for each platform.


 LATE versions of Genoil work on NVidia in open-cl, but I'm not sure if it runs as fast as native CUDA mode.

Looking for a link to latest version of Windows binaries.

Looking for a link to latest version of Windows binaries.

Same here to try it out

BTW!!

Guys! I have 1 issue. I have everything installed and all is working but have problem when i start Genoils miner. I use 7x gtx 1070 and when command promt start to mine its SUPER LAGY! It starts mining after some time but then crashes. CPU utilisation is 100% and everything lags..

I use win 10 pro. Is there workaround ( i really pefer genoils over claymore but cant fix this. Dont want to be forced to use claymore. Plz help!

Try setting your machine up with more virtual memory?

Try setting your machine up with more virtual memory?

I did. I added 16GB of virtual memory.

It works normal with 4 cards and when 4G Encoding is disabled, when I enable it it becojmne super slow.

Claymore works ok but ehhh



If someone can help me to get genoil work on my Asus Rog Strix Z270f Gaming motherboard and 7xGtx 1070 I promise i'll donate him 0.3 Eth.

I am on Win 10 Pro

All these are BIOS Settings that work for me on 10+ boards flawlessly :

Step 1 : Update bios to the latest
Step 2:  Disable Audio, Disable USB 3.1, Disable all USB ports except the first 4, Disable all sata ports except the one that your SSD is connected to, disable serial port
Step 3 : Set default display to onboard/igfx, enable 4g decoding
Step 4 : Turn all PCIe slots to Gen1
Step 5 : Reboot and run with all cards connected, let the cards intall for a bit, check in device manager when they are all done, then reboot system and voila

If you use a m.2 to pcie converter, you can get even 8 cards to work with the above settings. PM me if you still cant get it to work.

I will try it as soon as I get home. I tested a lot of things with bios but had probs.

Maybe its my binary for genoil also or something. I'll pm you as soon as I try it

I downloaded it and as soon I stared it it said "thank you for updating to the latest version of Windows 10" - I have win 10 pro 1703 version 15063.413 OS build and it's same issue

I didn't see all your post but did you install windows in uefi mode?

yes I did. Basically claymore works fine, genoil works fine up to 4 cards, managed to let genoil run also on 7 cards, I waited through lag on start. It took like 5 minutes to initialize miner and generate dag files, dag files go fast though, but other stuff is super slow and CPU usage is 100%, ethminer using over 70%.

After initialization was done miner worked normaly but crashed after 1 hour on low clocks, seemed unstable.


I'll test for now newest claymore, I heard it improved hashrates, so maybe it can beat genoil even with devfee. My last test would be genoil on Ubuntu. Maybe there it will work nice.

I use genoil on 2 of my home pcs as I w8 for risers, where I use only 2 gpus per motherboard, I run win 10 and genoil and I have effective hashrate on my pool around 60-62MHs even if miner shows 58 and it's on low power. And effective hashrate is everything, it declares how much you farm. And this 60-62mh/s effective average is over few days, while claymore on my rigs always was around 2-6MHs less then my reported hashrate and in general lower then genoils rigs.

On claymore my avg per card is like 28.5-29 and on genoil 30-31.

Step 4 : Turn all PCIe slots to Gen1

 What the heck type of motherboards are you using that allow you to set that?
 Never seen that as an option on anything I've ever used.
