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

[ten9]

Mr Claymore,

please add added shares-per-GPU statistics when "s" key is pressed. as commandline option. I am mining headless and would like to see per gpu stats also.

[Lollaskates]

Hmm, I've been playing around with version 9.4.

Should my GPU (RX570 4GB) have poor ETH hashrate (19-22) and get better as I undervolt? That seems backwards. Normally you have to jack powerlimit or give +vcore to stabilize clockspeed under utilization. Is this expected behavior?

At stock, 1.00v vcore and 1246mhz core, 2000mhz mem @ 1500 straps: 24MH
At undervolted / underclocked, 0.806 vcore, 1100mhz core, 2000mhz mem @ 1500 straps: 29MH.

I've played around with the powerlimit settings, different undervolts at different pstates. I can't quite see the pattern as to why this miner performs better the more I reduce power.

Does anyone have an idea?

I hear the RX5xx series is a lot like the RX480.
You can even put a 580 bios on a 480 if you dare. thread on techpowerup

So... you could try to emulate what the Jukebox v4 RX480 bios does and make your own 570 version.

That is:

1. Increase Max Power Limit by 5W

2. Set 1150mhz core clock.

3. 2150 MhZ memory clock @ 900mV, 1750 straps to 2000.

4. WattTool to drop voltage -100mV ("-16" in the gui.)

If that is unstable, drop memory clock to 2130 MhZ and try again.

What's probably happening when you undervolt is that the card runs cooler and makes less errors resulting in faster reported rate.

1500 straps are probably unstable @2150mhz as they are on the RX480. YMMV. You may have a shitty card.

I appreciate the insight, things are a bit clearer now.

whats the fastest eth hash most people get on a 470/570? the 480/580 is a bit different, can push the mem faster and has more CUs. I've seen about 31MH/s for the 480/580 around the top. I've got my 570's all dual mining ETH+DCR at 29MH / 667MH @ 125w stable. At this point I think I can only squeeze a few more watts by keeping the power limit and undervolt ratio the same, but the lower I go with the undervolt the more stability problems. I'll stress test 0.8250v overnight.

Need help. Card gigabyte gts1060 from the factory with memory 9026 produces just 14 eth. Tried all versions of drivers. Tried version miner 9.3, and 9.4. Don't know what to do.

[chup]

Trying to find the solution to GPU1 not working.  Can anyone help?
Notice GPU1 on the top right (Hardware Monitor)

I see You've been so lazy to connect display at card hashing with 4 MH/s as I told You. Let's try the finger exercise, hope it is not too much for You again:

1. Stop the miner
2. Open device manager
3. Disable GPU that was hashing with 4 MH/s
4. Enable GPU
5. Start the miner

Claymore, please make this be done automagically by the miner. Thx. 

[Victorio]

Gentlemen, I would appreciate your help!

My configuration:
Asus P5Q Pro
All GPUs connected via 006C risers
XFX RX480 RS 4GB Elpida - 1125/900mV, 1950/925mV
Sapphire Nitro RX480 4GB Samsung, 1125/900mV, 1975/925mV
Sapphire Nitro RX480 4GB Samsung, 1125/912mV, 2015/931mV
Sapphire Nitro RX480 4GB Samsung, 1125/900mV, 1975/925mV
1200W server PSU
AMD 16.9.1, Claymore 9.3
ETH-only mining in this situation

1. What stale share ratio is acceptable on ETH pools? I use the European Ethermine server, my ping is 50-ish sec and I get 0% to 5% stale shares.

2. How many incorrect ETH shares per day do you tolerate?

3. I get hashrate drops on my rig - small drops, when one of the 4 GPUs drops by 10 MH/s (1/3 of individual hashrate) and total drops, when all 4 GPUs drop to 0 MH/s. These drops last 10 seconds, there are 4-6 small drops and 1 total drop within 60 min. What is the reason for these drops?
I figured - Total drops, periods of 0 MH/s hashrate, happen right before the DAG creation, so that is a normal event.

4. There are periods when the hashrates of all GPUs drop by 10-40%. The hashrate was stable during the night, when Claymore miner was the sole active app. These drops started at 7:20 in the morning, when I sat at the PC and started my routine work - Excel spreadsheets, browsing via Chrome, checking rig condition. Total runtime - 9h 30 min.
See the chart "Total hashrate":
06:07-07:41 timeframe:
07:42-09:17 timeframe:

Plotting individual hashrates, I observed that all GPUs drop in hashrate in such moments:

What causes the uniform drops in hashrate - the activity of other running apps, undervolting, overclocking or is this a drawback of the miner app itself?

If anyone is interested to see the whole stats, welcome: http://imgur.com/a/IVtfm.

New with RX480 cards...need some info/help.

I tried to mod rom, copied 1750 strap to 2000 strap. After reset I got the yellow exclamation on the card...so I must disable driver signature.
Is this the correct way to do it:

Code:

bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on 

or:

Code:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON 

Card is XFX RX480 GTR 8GB, Samsung memory ( http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-rx-400-series/rx-480-gtr-8gb-dd-led-rx-480p8dfa6 )
I'm using WIN10 Pro X64 & latest AMD driver

Maybe someone wants to share already moded .rom for this card?

Thanks, cheers y'all

Try older drivers
16.11.5 works fine

A lot of the problems I'm reading here are most likely caused by overheating VRAM and can be solved by running the fan at 100% and lowering the clock speeds and/or voltages. The primary tempeture sensor is connected to the gpu and doesn't reflect how hot the VRAM is getting.

Hello Guys.

I recently set up Claymore for mining on my 970sli....
When i run mining i reach 3 MH/s for each card....

Here is my bat file:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100...

Hi there!
I have 970 and reach 18MH/s, its strange.

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Is not needed for Nvidia cards as i understand.


Question to all.
As i wrote above, i have GTX 970 card and 18MH/s on it, it's about 1ETH per 2 month. Is it worth it to buy a second card? It'll cost me a ~200$ and i would can make 1eth per month.

[wtfonly16]

how are people getting 30mh/s with sgminer 5.5.5 on rx570 wtf???

[XManiac]

how are people getting 30mh/s with sgminer 5.5.5 on rx570 wtf???

Im wonder how they getting 18GH/s with 1 worker and reported ~150MH/s

[muratizm]

Why google drive says there is a virus in 9.4 windows version?
It doesn't let us download.

[lautre]

i got 4x 480 with Elpida and 3x with samsung, Elpida can't go over 1900/1950mhz..

[XManiac]

Can you tell my whicj pool you are working on? And show me your config file? That would be really appreciated

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -di 0 -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal (wallet) -mode 1

config file is empty.

[nils8107]

Hi all

I`m new here.

I downloaded "Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.4"

And I added in my Config File my -ewal my key.

Code:

# WARNING! Remove "#" characters to enable lines, with "#" they are disabled and will be ignored by miner! Check README for details.
# WARNING! Miner loads options from this file only if there are not any options in the command line!

-[b]mode 1[/b] I only want ETH mining...
-epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 
-ewal [b]da4fd02b79e1f3cebbf581786f1a2e174ee931f9[/b] my key
-epsw x

Otherwise I did nothing.
I have a GTX1080 and a GTX970 and a I7 7700k and 16GB RAM.

Then I run start file...

Why its still calculating DCR?

Any tips for me? Thank you so much in advance.

[mantor84]

hi guys...I really need your help.

I don't know why...but the watchdog error is killing me. I mean I have no idea what I could do to solve this issue.

My current rig looks like that:
7x RX580 Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB
8GB RAM
Windows 10
Virtual Memory min 2000 max 50000 (increased that much just to see if its working better...but it isn't)
Temp: 52-58°C
Fan: 60%
- ethi 4
- gser 2

The hole system is running but after some minutes/hours I get an watchdog error mostly at GPU4.
I checked everything used new riser even from an other manufacturer but it doesn't work.

The new Claymore V9.4 miner doesn't help.

If I have an Watchdog error I need to reboot my hole system an normally restart of Claymore never worked for me even from the beginning.


My watchdog is looking like that:
01:14:59:055   1a28   watchdog - thread 0 (gpu0), hb time 109
01:14:59:056   1a28   watchdog - thread 1 (gpu0), hb time 31
01:14:59:056   1a28   watchdog - thread 2 (gpu1), hb time 94
01:14:59:056   1a28   watchdog - thread 3 (gpu1), hb time 16
01:14:59:056   1a28   watchdog - thread 4 (gpu2), hb time 47
01:14:59:056   1a28   watchdog - thread 5 (gpu2), hb time 125
01:14:59:057   1a28   watchdog - thread 6 (gpu3), hb time 31
01:14:59:057   1a28   watchdog - thread 7 (gpu3), hb time 109
01:14:59:057   1a28   watchdog - thread 8 (gpu4), hb time 8297
01:14:59:058   1a28   watchdog - thread 9 (gpu4), hb time 8375
01:14:59:058   1a28   watchdog - thread 10 (gpu5), hb time 47
01:14:59:058   1a28   watchdog - thread 11 (gpu5), hb time 125
01:14:59:058   1a28   watchdog - thread 12 (gpu6), hb time 141
01:14:59:059   1a28   watchdog - thread 13 (gpu6), hb time 63

GPU 4 watchdog is way too high... and I hope you can give me some tipps to solve this.

Am I the only one who has that issue? couldn't find a solution at www.


If you need more information let me know.


appreciate for any help.



PS: approx. 3-4 days ago I could mine over 100 hours in a row and I didn't change anything till then.

It sounds like W10 updated and is messing with it, we are having problems with the 7 cards rigs, since a couple of weeks as a resul of an update, reset your system to a previus date.
We had some space left on some other rigs so took it down to 5.
Thats why we are building no more that 4 cards rigs now.
Should try ti change the GPU4 raiser just in case.

I had deactivated all W10 updates  and all my GPUs can be detected in windows and with claymore.
So I think it should be OK with it... or not?  

I changed the raiser also once ...no effect.

Really strange and frustrating that watchdog issue it doesn't work for longer than 15min  

I've OC all cards the same like that "if its important"
GPU clock: 1150
Memory clock: 2150
GPU voltage: -75mv
Hynix all 7 gpus

Started Dual mining again (ETH + DCR) and it's running for almost 4,5hours without a watchdog error.
Can it be that only ETH mining is buggy with the Claymore client?
Didn't change anything just switched back to ETH+DCR instead of only ETH mining and it seems to run.

Will let you know if its fine now or if the watchdog error comes back.


btw does anyone else have problems with only ETH mining on the Claymore client?

[Victorio]

You sir, are correct. Well, two small comments - it is often the VRAM, but sometimes can be the VRM. Also, it's only usually solved by running the fan at 100% and dropping volts... I have these shitty XFX RS XXX 480/470 GPUs (with the hard-swap fans)

I also have the XFX RS 480, the heatsink is not connected with the VRAM, as in Sapphire Nitro or other models.
I checked the temperature of VRAM with a pyrometer: when GPU core is at 65C, the mem chips from the upper array (http://imgur.com/eMOWJyl) would go close to 98-103C, so I lowered target temp to 57C (it takes about 2500-2800 RPM in solo mode and 3300 RPM in dual mode, ambient temp 22-25C). Now the mem chips are about 78-88 C when dual mining.

[joelitoup]

the best config for nvidia 1050ti EVGA? can help me? I'm mining 11 Mhz

[Lukke]

Hello. On some miners, I got "watchdog: GPU 1 hangs in OpenCL call, exit" and it hangs during the next start - see the attachment. Then I have to manually shut down the miner and sometimes even restart PC. I have modded bios (straps 1750 to 2000) and ram overclock. But even if I lowered the memory clock, it still hangs... Does any -parametr will help me to solve this situation? Or what to do with this? Using RX480, 580, 570... It happends on all the cards. Thank you!

[spunkybd]

I have 4 GPU's.


What do I need to do to get Eth+Sia working on windows?
