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

[newfulluser]

Weird issue with 7 470s, they're all detected on windows and msiafterburner, no overclocks yet.
Driver 16.9.2 patched. Psu 1600w, motherboard asrock pro btc 2. Already mined with 7 cards to test before, one of them was a R9 Fury and no issues.

Anyone knows why and how to fix this?

Have you set the PCIE to generation 1 in the bios?

Yes, it has been on pcie1 since the first day.
Still not sure why claymore won't mine with the 7 cards, they're all detected correctly on windows

And only six cards are mining.

Setting in bios PCIe to Gen 2 is not good? Why exactly set it to 1?

There is no need for PCIe gen 2 when mining, and it gives problems when you start adding a lot of gpus.

    I currently am using GTX 1060's and I braved the over clock world. I can push mine to near 21 but just shy before I blue screen.  I have to just accept that 20.5 is solid and go with it. Yours will go a bit faster but don't get greedy as all you will get is an unstable machine. Been there. Flaky board is the reason rig01 keeps dumping. New one in the works.

@Claymore
   Many thanks for the S/W and your time. Single (eth) for now but going to go dual when rack goes live.

I have 2 1060's and 2 1070's which are just mining ETH.

The 1060's (6GB) are set to core -200 mem +750 power 94% and they hash at 22.6 consistently.

The 1070's are similar settings but power at 84% and they do 30-31mh/s.

whole rig using around 600W.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about, how come my 1080 is doing only 25mh/s when your 1070s are doing 30-31mh/s? Are you using windows or linux?

Bump, anyone knows how to get more than 25 mh/s on a gtx 1080 on windows?

Pretty sure you can't, or at least for now. 1080's RAM is DDR5x, and for that very reason [which I'm totally NOT qualified to explain why], it won't work as good as 1070's DDR5.

By the way, I need to correct my previous post, couple of weeks ago after running tests on an EVGA GTX 1070 SC, the secondary coin hashrate is really not as good as expected.

ETH+LBRY - 30MH/s // 22MH/s @150W -dcri 30

This makes a huge difference for the ROI, indeed, putting aside the re-sell value.

Also tested the Sapphire RX 570 Pulse, as recommended by Frostminer, and can't get it working past 25MH/s on ETH, @ 110W. Already returned it, definitely won't be my choice.

[spyshagg]

I am very impressed with the RX570

I just realized that ETH isn't affected by RX570 GPU speed (the same is not true on my 290X. more mhz = more hashrate).

I dropped my RX570 from 1200mhz to 800mhz with the same hashrate.  Power usage dropped from 200w at the wall to just 140w (with -50mv undervolt)

The computer alone consumes 60w, so 140w at the wall - 60w = 80watts per 22Mh/s (not modded yet)

[spyshagg]

oh, and its so coool.   My 290's are screaming and dumping heat like a furnace.  But this cheap RX570  is barely audible and the heat coming out of it is a joke.

Very impressed

Hmm, isnt the price of the 1070 almost twice the rx 570?

Im very pleased with mine and has ordered a bunch.

If its the same tiny sapphire rx 570 i got... i would totally agree with you.

My R9 390's are like lavamakers compared to this one.

REMOVE -di option in your config.txt
if you have, do it like this #-di 0123456

Solved, the problem was the gpu numbers on claymore..
I didn't update it and I had it set for 6 gpus. When you don't add the gpu number it just doesn't mine, now I'm mining with the 7 cards just fine.

Yeah, I was very impressed with the RX570 Pulse price, that's why I ordered one to run tests. But still, man, it does pretty good on ETH, although consuming a lot for the hashrate, but other algos are totally buried. I do take in consideration that with the difficulty rising, it might be a valid point to get prepared to migrate to other algos, and for that, Nvidia just wears the crown.

What are your settings on your RX570 Pulse ? Couldn't find a modded BIOS for it, is that right it doesn't exist yet ? Can you post your hashing results with both ETH and the 4 other algos with this very GPU ?

By the way, it sounds a bit weird that when one is talking about Nvidia, there is an automatic post saying how AMD's doing great. Anyone lobbying for them, here ?

Anyway, point is not to be right or wrong, just confronting opinions.

Someone advice to set Gen 1, other Gen 2, you Auto or Gen 3. SO WHAT IS THE FINAL ADVICE TO SET?

v9.4:

- added alternative Sia Stratum support (Siamining, Nicehash). Stratum version detection is automatic.
- improved fans management for latest drivers and Polaris cards.
- added "-mpsw" option.
- added shares-per-GPU statistics when "s" key is pressed.
- Included EthMan v3.0 which supports passwords and email notifications.

What did you change in Claymore to get your gpus to work?  Can you share your bat file?

New EthDcrMiner64 did not prompt for firewall addition in Win10. It connected to pools and hashed but Ethman could not see it. I had to add it manually to the firewall.

Yeah I forgot to mention about API.txt file that describes main protocol between EthMan and miners. It is in EthMan folder, I quote it here:

Code:

EthMan uses raw TCP/IP connections (not HTTP) for remote management and statistics. Optionally, "psw" field is added to requests is the password for remote management is set for miner.

Why can't I push my system harder? I have an open air case, H81 BTC v.2 motherboard, celeron processor, 8 gb ram, (6) XFX RX480 8GB Black Edition Cards, 2 power supplies. I have modded my bios copying the 1750 timing strap to the 2000. The max I can get per card is 27 mb/s for a total of 162 mb/s. There is a big difference in profit per year at 162 mb/s vs. 180 mb/s. I am using Claymore ver. 9.3 on Windows 10. The AMD Driver version is 16.12.2. Whenever I move my core clock past 1150 or the memory clock past 1950 the miner crashes within the hour. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian

why did you copy the 1750 strap to the 2000?
thats like throwing a hot dog down a hallway

If you've got Samsung, CAS is too damn low on 1500 to use it unmodified. 1625 may work.

Wolf0, I do have Samsung memory. Can you explain CAS and what you are suggesting. This is my first rig and I am still learning.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to dualmine Ethereum and Siacoin on my GTX 970. It seems to work on the Siacoin side of things, and according to the output it also mines Ethereum, but my Ethereum pool does not see my worker. I let it run for quite some time but it does not show up.

Here is my start.bash configuration:
./ethdcrminer64 -epool stratum+tcp://eu.alpereum.ch:3002 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F -epsw x -eworker rig1 -dpool stratum+tcp://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:7777 -dwal 5c7fb8123b35f1bb82d5123598c9b13ee9408f6b39c0b6ffba05038800ce156db9743becd18a/rig1/my@email.com -dpsw x -dcoin sia -allpools 1

Hashrates are shown to be around:
ETH - Total Speed: 15.965 Mh/s, Total Shares: 7, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:08
ETH: GPU0 15.965 Mh/s
 SC - Total Speed: 372.521 Mh/s, Total Shares: 0, Rejected: 0
 SC: GPU0 372.521 Mh/s


I am on Ubuntu 16.04. Any ideas why this is not working?

Well 9.4 didn't fix it I just copied 9.4 into NH 3rd party app folder and am using it that way (with NH tool running it)
