Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)

[djazher]

Im so happy with the 2 i got for testing that i already ordered 16 more, to complete 3 itx rigs.

They've been running no trouble at 25.4 mh/s @ 97-102W since mounting.   (51Mh/s @ 204W)

The little heat they make compared to all other cards i have is astonishing.
I regret buying rx480s .. should have waited and got 20 more if these instead.

About 4gb ... it should hold for a while.
At the price im getting these cards i have ROI on 2 months, maybe even less... beyond that its bonus...
When/IF eth hits 4gh, I will just have to move those rigs to other coins. But this should be way way way way way beyond ROI.


Imagine what these sweet small monsters can do with modded bios  

Nah, man, ROI is 3 months, for ETH only mining.

What results do you get for dual mining the 4 available alt coins ?

@frostminer - Did you have time to test these little RX 570ITX on ETH+SIA/DCR/LBRY/PASC ? Interested in getting your hashrates, man. Ordered one alongside a "twice the price" 1070 to run my own tests, but still, very interested in getting your settings and results. I should be able to post mines in about a week or so.

Most probably asked already 1000 times, but can't be f****d to go down the whole 540 pages : What's the most effective OS, between W7 and Ubuntu LTS, running AMDs on one hand [RX480 and/or RX570], and Nvidias on the other [GTX1070] ? Might have the adequate budget to build both models, but still looking for efficiency stats

I have an interesting issue:

If I start claymore mining on my 4 GPU rig without a monitor attached it shows only the temperature for the first card.
All 4 cards are mining but only the purple temp shows up for GPU0.

So I bought an HDMI dummy plug.  I put it in the card on PCI-E primary and now Claymore shows all four temperatures - the issue is now card 1 is mining at 4mh/s instead of 26mh/s ?!?

Cards are MSI RX480 8G Gaming X.

Does anyone know how to either:
Get the temp to show up for all 4 cards without a monitor
OR
Not have the card slow down to a crawl when the dummy plug is plugged in?

cheers and thanks in advance,
Ed

It was here a lot of times. Use VNC, don't use RDP. Disable crossfire.

Another stupid one, how do you disable crossfire?

[vapourminer]

@vapourminer and @Teress: Do you think that the server's response time is so important? If I ping eu2.ethermine.org I get 40-500ms response time (I'm from Budapest and I use a cable internet connection provided by Telekom).

even with my 200-300 ms pings my rejects are pretty much in line with everyone elses that have ~100 ms pings. basically my rejects are < 1%. and ive been mining with wireless 3g evdo since 2011.

once you hit over 500 ms i would think you would be losing shares.

In AMD control center or how is it called.

I have ZERO rejects...

Thank you!

I tried searching but this thread is so huge I wasn't able to make heads or toes :p

Will this solution make the temps show or will this solution make it faster with the dummy plugged in?

cheers and thanks!

Hey everybody !

After countless hours of research, and obviously reading a lot about AMD cards Ether mining crown, I decided to do full Nvidia for a first 6xGPUs dedicated rig. I figured out that even if the hashrate is a bit lower than with RX 4XX cards on ETH, it also offers more possibilities on other cryptos. We don't want to forget that ETH is announced to go POS since last year. Plus, on the power consumption side, no battle here, Nvidia holds the 1st place by far.

I read as much as I could of this very thread, and checked the results on whattomine.com, but I'm still wondering what hashrates Nvidia users actually get in the real world, out of the theoritical field.

I'm already mining ETH+LBC with 2 GTX970 [41MHs/64MHs], for it happened to be the most valuable combo so far, but I doubt these results are accurate for a proper upgrade to GTX1070.

I also would like to ask what GTX1070 brand/model you're using, and eventually why. I'm looking for a good average between performance and longevity. With proper maintenance, I plan to get these working for at least 2 years time [Reboot and dust-off every week + full cleaning and basic maintenance every other month + full check and fan greasing twice a year]

I decided to buy GTX1070, but I've got a very nice opportunity for an EVGA GTX1080 SC, and was wondering as well, if people had performance feedback about this very GPU. As far as I can read, it seemed like 1080 weren't doing very good, and looked like it was because of a lack of optimisation [on top of the DDR5x issue]. Do you know if this has been fixed, or it will just be uncompatible at all ?

Cheers !

Hey everyone, was just curious if anyone knew what endpoints the miner exposes?
I've tried looking around but there isn't any documentation, explanations, examples for how to monitor the miner with our own programs, there is only the program bundled with it but that only works on windows and only works on a local network which is very limiting.

This is a great topic which deserves a separate thread! Mixing all sorts of things in one thread makes information un-accessible.

Just a heads up on POS for ETH. If I am not mistaken, from what I read, ETH is moving to POS but will still be using POW as the POS they are going to be using is experimental and is going to be a test run as they don't want to get rid of POW until they are sure that the POS idea they want to use is feasible and working. Maybe I am wrong but that is what I understand from what I have read. Also, there are forks that will be using POW for the foreseeable future, especially newer forks such as Ubiq.

One article I can remember that stated first steps would be a hybrid POW/POS system: https://www.ethnews.com/proof-of-stake-vitalik-buterin-shares-casper-contract-code

I am getting very inconsistent hashrates using claymore 9.3 with my msi 570s. They jump back and forth from 19 to 29.5 mh/s, averaging about 23mh/s at the pool. I'm using a MSI Gaming M5 board with 4 cards, running linux. Has anyone experienced this?

[praam]

Any reason -ttli doesn't work for cards past GPU0? using "-ttli 62,62,62,62 -tt 60,60,60,60" for example.
Mining on Win10, miner version 9.3, got a mix of rx480 and 580 going. Tried -ttli, -ttdcri, -tstop, but all seem to work on #0 only. Would appreciate any pointers.

Edit:
I was connecting with Remote Desktop Connection and that creates a dummy GPU that really screws up the GPU indexing. Tried Teamviewer but it doesn't work without a screen/HDMI dummy attached. Using Splashtop to launch miners for now, can do the rest on RDC.

Im curious as to why the DCR authentication fails. Is it buried somewhere here in these 500+ pages?

[bilbo333]

Im having some weird problems with my WIFI whenever i run clay mores miner. When I am mining, my wifi is only working on my laptop in the same room as my rig and where my router is, but whenever I go to another room the wifi signal drops. If i turn claymore off/stop mining, my wifi is perfectly back to normal...can anyone explain this??

I am really curious about this as well.  My situation was with AT&T wireless boxes. Dual miner shuts them down making them unusable.  I even plugged into a brighthouse router before I had that turned off and dual miner still shut down the AT&T wireless boxes on separate network.

Yes it is. As long as you don't tell us which version of claymore and pool you are using, we can't help!

[gondel]

Guys, I tried running 9.2 today for eth+sia with a 6*470 4gb rig and it gives me only 20.4mh per card for eth and 612 mh per card for sia.
I am able to get 28 mh per card for eth when mining eth+dcr and 880 mh for dcr.
Anyone experienced that? Isnt it supposed to mine eth at the same speed?
Using the bat config mentioned in the op.

Play with -dcri value to find your best hashrate. Use + or - key on your keyboard to increase or decrease the -dcri value on the fly. Once you are satisfied, write your dcri value to your .bat file.

Thanks! That worked, now mining with 28 mh eth and 400 mh sia per card
Thanks again

With proper maintenance, I plan to get these working for at least 2 years time [Reboot and dust-off every week + full cleaning and basic maintenance every other month + full check and fan greasing twice a year]

taking the fans off to grease them may void the warranty.

rigs require surprisingly little maintenance, depending of course on the environment. i have a rig in the living room (mining/gaming rig) with all filtered intake fans. i vacuum them once a week. last time i took the side panel off a few months ago i didnt need to to a thing, and its run 24/7 for ~2 years now.

the open frame rig in the basement gets taken outside every 6 months or so and blown out with an air compressor. make sure you use a qtip or something and hold the fans when blowing towards the fans so as to not overspin them. thats it. that rig is also about ~2 years old, although i replaced the motherboard about a year ago as the old mobo was too power hungry (core 2 quad Q6600).

fans? just get good cards with ball bearing fans. sleeve bearing fans dont tend to last as long.

as for reboots, just when i update them. otherwise they go for months at a time until the power blips or i work on them. although reboots certainly wont hurt anything.

Anyone dual mining eth + Siacoin on RX 570 cards?

My asus model only gets about 22MH on eth and 660MH on sia. Card is modded and OC'ed. Any help would be appreciated
