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

[Claymore]

Claymore,
do you have any ideas how to overcome Polaris hashrate drop for epoch >129 ?
Genoil said that DAG now took 100% of first memory bank (2gb) and go to second memory bank, so access two banks instead of one leads significant hashrate drop.
Do you make any research in this direction, or it is hopeless? What you think, any comments?

I did not do any research yet, but I will do it very soon.

Dear mister C. Any updates on this one or is it a done Deal?

Hey guys i have problem with low hash rate gettin 13 to max 15 mhs on Claymore
Specs
5x Gtx 1060 6gb windforce from Gigabyte
Motherboard: Asus strix h270f
Psu 850w and 8gb of ram

Windows 10 fully updated with lastest drivers.
Tried on windows 7 same result.
Tried recommende drivers by Claymore
Tried older versions of drivers till 369
Tried Claymores versions 9.5 and 9.4 with all cudas versions.
Tried with single card direct to Pcie

Can somebe help

v9.6:

- new GPU sorting method for AMD cards. Now GPUs are sorted by physical bus index (it matches AfterBurner list of GPUs). Also the list of temperatures/fans matches the list of GPUs automatically.
  Therefore "-di detect" and "-gmap" options are not necessary and not supported anymore.
  WARNING: be careful if you use use separate overclock/temperature settings for every card, due to new sorting method GPUs can get different indexes!
- added "-minspeed" option to restart miner/system if miner cannot reach specified speed.
- now watchdog monitors initialization steps too, e.g. it will restart miner even if miner hangs at GPUs initialization.
- added "-allcoins etc" option for ETC pools that require Username.Worker, in this mode devfee will be mined on some default ETC pools and DAG will not be recreated.
- added current DAG size info when "s" key is pressed.
- added 1 minute average speed for ETH when "s" key is pressed.
- fixed connection timeout issue in Linux version.
- fixed some issues related to remote management via TCP/IP.
- added "-ejobtimeout" and "-djobtimeout" options.
- fixed epoch #0 support.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.
- EthMan: fixed issue with lost connection to some rigs.
- EthMan: added password for webserver.
- EthMan: added separate settings for every event.
- EthMan: added "retrigger" option for lost connection event.

Hello, i have looked at a lot of the pages in this thread but can not find my issue. I have 5 GTX 1060 msi 3gb cards, trying to use claymore miner. It starts to mine fine then crashes with the following error.

also, device manager shows 5 gpus, but claymore only finds 4. Any tips on this as well.


any help would be appreciated.

I have the same issue with him! My rig have 6 VGA Giga 3gb, but 1st VGA stoped Have anyone help us (

If you are having a single card first (others may fail afterward but usually starts with the same card), check your riser.  specifically I would replace the cheap USB cable that comes with it along with the power adapter if you are using it.  That's where most of my failures have been from.  The other thing to check is to put a meter at the wall and see what your total draw is and make sure you are not maxing out your power supply.

i have a 850 power supply and each card is using 105-110 watt, so i should have plenty of power. Also, the issue happens with 4 cards installed not even 5. Currently , i have three of the cards on the board and only one using the riser and still get the same message. three cards on the board alone run no problem. I am trying to get 4 stable before i work on the 5th. I do not know why the error keeps coming up. I will try to replace the usb cord and the molex to sata. I also have another riser board on the way from a different and better company(according to the reviews). Any other suggestions are appreciated.

It is not caused by the risers as I had the same issue with NVIDIA 1070 cards plugged in directly. It is not the OC (also happens at stock clocks) but the dcri value pushed over 35-40 that causes it. Tested with version 9.3 and 9.5. It only seems you could push the secondary coin (Sia in my case) much further (and earn more with dual mining than with equihash) as the ethash hash rate doesn't change at all until 40-ish. But then when you push it further, the miner actually fails with the error mentioned above. Not sure whether it is a Claymore bug or driver or something else that causes it. I would really appreciate an input from @Claymore regarding the issue.

From what i understand from your reply, dual mining is causing the issue? So if i just mine ETH (nicehash technically) i should not see the issue? It also seems i can run 3 cards for the most part no issue. The second i stop reboot and plug in that 4th , mining freezes, or i get that error message. Obviously my goal is to get all 5 running, but i will settle for a stable 4 crads for now.

Can I do only monitoring for ethman without mining with claymore miner but with other miner?

[minerman121]

Is there any way to mine Musicoin without having the DAG recreated?

[kardus]

Are the new optimisations found here something that can be applied any time soon? It's quite a significant increase. https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/pull/228

Hi guys,

Im using claymore 9.3/9.5/9.6

Specs MSI Z170A gaming carbon pro
Intel CPU G4400
4 GB RAM
for now 4 * MSI RX 580 ARMOR OC (later up to 6 when I get my 1000 watt PSU) // Hynix memory // Drivers 17.4.4
Corsair 750watt Platinium  


I use this bios https://anorak.tech/t/msi-rx-580-armor-oc-8gb-hynix/5933/11
-cvddc 900 -cclock 1200 -mclock 2080


I running this rig a few days. Can we say this is stable. Sometimes i see dips to 109 mh/s, this is normal?

Hi guys what are you guys getting on Eth / LBRY?

Im getting 1070

29 MH/s ETH  and 28 MH /s LBRY

and 1080 Ti

36 MH/Sec ETH amd 35 MH/s LBRY

is this normal? My 1080 TI can do 520 MH/s LBRY solo. #5 seems really low unless its using the same part of GPU to mine ETH?

Is there a better coin to mine with more performance you'd recommend?

I would like to see a possible solution for this as well.
Happens for a friend on win10 for 5x1070 and 1x1060

All other algorithms except for equihash are working ok. (1070 hashes 330 instead of 420)

LBRY doesn't dual mine well, you end up losing eth speed easily. Nvidia cards also arent as good as AMD for dual mining.  CM says he is working on an ASM kernel for dual mining LBRY, 2x speedup for LBRY, but AMD only.  

Here is site for checking profits, for Nvidia, generally LBRY and Zec on top, dual mining eth/sia next, depends on cards, 1080/TI aren't as effective at Eth due to GDDR5X.

I have the same MB, CPU but mining with 6x470s
From the  GPU-Z screen, I'd say something is wrong with the OC - some of the cards are running with default voltage. Also wondering how your GPU3 is using significantly less watts (almost impossible).....

Thanks for the reply, so my results are normal?

I really hope the Nvidia cards get optimized for dual a bit more.

Its true 1080 TI ROI is a bit longer, but its a beast of a card. I just need to figure out where to point its power. It does 36 MH/s in eth solo  and 520 MH/s in just LBRY solo.

[f5alcon]

Any chance these new optimizations can be added? I don't want to give up dual mining. https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6jjhob/ethereum_code_optimized_for_some_nvidian_cards/

some testing.. 2 GTX 1060
Why only 2.6 MHs
and nothing accepted?

it's not true. I use RDP without any problem with hashrate.
