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

[kingsleylow]

Hi
I need some advice for dual mining...

With solo mining using rx570 I am getting 27 at 60-70w

When I am dual mining with Sia coin the ethereum hash rates drop to 10-19mh.

What kind of changes should I do to Ensure the ethereum mining not affected by dual mining?


Thanks in advance

Is there any benefit to run Claymore on Nvidia card from cuda folder?

I have one test mixed rig with 1 x RX470 and 1 x GTX 1060. Running ethdcrminer from root folder it runs ok - both cards mining. But will be any hashrate benefit when I run ethdcrminer from inside cuda folder just for the gtx1060?

[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)

@frostminer - I'm confused, here, what are your stats,in the end ? Stock BIOS with these results, no way...

Hi, i try to find how in read me files without succes. I buy new rx 580 for my computer, i put my old nvidia for sale on kijiji but for time someone buy it i keep it in computer. In option i don't see command line for mining only with gpu 0 (ati) and i connect nvidia with other miner... So someone know a command line for mining only with gpu 0?

thx

Hey,

I started with mining today but unfortunately my graphics card totally underperforms with only ~3 Mh/s.

I already did some searching and saw some older postings regarding problems with newer NVidia drivers and Win 10.
On the other hand I read that these problems were fixed with WDDM 2.1.

I'm confused now... and I see people running NVidia cards with acceptable performance under Win 10.

What to do? (Apart from switching to Linux/Win8)

After 3 days running this miner, I ran into a few issues.

It sometimes think that GPU#0 is GPU#1 and vice-versa :S (I can deal with that) but the issue I can't seem to find a fix is this:

I have an Intel Pentium G2130 on a AsRock z77 Extreme 3 mobo. The CPU has an onboard Graphics Card. So in BIOS, I set the primary Graphics to "onboard" (aka, CPU). Everything works, MSI Afterburner can detect my GPU's and so can HWinfo, but for some reason, EthDcrMiner64 can't!

Code:

06:02:33:610	108	ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»

06:02:33:922	108	No NVIDIA CUDA GPUs detected.
06:02:33:937	108	No AMD OPENCL or NVIDIA CUDA GPUs found, exit

I want to enable the CPU's graphics card just to ease the load of one of the GPU's (I noticed that I get better hash rates and "Share Accepted").

Is this a bug with the miner? Or am I missing something?

[PcChip]

@simon66, go to windows device manager, do your cards show up without yellow exclaims?

[frostminer]

@frostminer - I'm confused, here, what are your stats,in the end ? Stock BIOS with these results, no way...

Havent done anything with them since that time.

But this screenshot was out of the box, straight to boot. Reboot and mining.
Installed default latest driver at the time.

As you see its using up to 150W there.
But that was default shit with OC, no tuning, fiddling or dabbling.
I wont do that until i get the next order.

Meanwhile im running them without any pushing.

Stick to the 37X.XX drivers, I reckon that's the issue. I was using 2 of them 970 not a long time ago, and they can achieve 24MH/s.

Memory brand, maybe ? I've got Hynix, here.

I'll re-flash the original bios, then, and run new tests, but I remember full well being disappointed at it straight out of the box. 21-22MH/s max. Now hashing at 24MH/s with modded BIOS. Could go 2/3MH/s higher, I reckon, but I already start having incorrect shares...

@simon66, go to windows device manager, do your cards show up without yellow exclaims?

For some odd reason the cards are now being detected :S



Btw, is there a way to rename or give an alias to the card? I remember some miners allowed renaming the GPU's (so that I know which is which instead of GPU#0...).

[broda]

I have problem, for some reason im getting low submitted shares. My cards are slowing getting shares.

The pool im using is ethermine eu2.

I got 2 rx470 4gb gpu's  mining at 44.5mh's

It takes 2 days for 0.05 payout.

Anyone knows why? please help.

Hmm. Nope.
Downgraded the Nvidia driver to 378.92 and still 3 Mh/s.

What driver is the best for GTX 1060? Thanks

[LaBlanj]

its wonderful miner. lastest version is so stable for me. thank you

- Included EthMan v3.0 which supports passwords and email notifications.

@Claymore

The new version of EthMan seems to hang considerably more frequently when a config includes large numbers of miners and some are offline.
It seems somewhat stable if every single rig it's listening for is online and mining but seems randomly unstable when any rigs are red / offline.

I just tested and it was stable overnight with every rig online.
I then disabled the "this miner is turned off" on four leftover entries from decommissioned rigs, and it crashed within 5-10min.

I saw it happen while looking at the window yesterday... it began while 2 rigs were genuinely offline, then four more functional rigs suddenly became "offline", then every miner went red.
On the plus side... I can actually easily close EthMan when hung now, no more having to kill the process in task manager.

In a couple of days I will release new version of the miner and EthMan v3.1, I still cannot reproduce this issue for some reason but I improved network code, it must help.

I have same problem. If i OC then I get 3.5MH/s, still this is too low.
