Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.9 (Windows/Linux)

[Masked_Immortal]

Ok so I have 2 x gtx 970s and 2 x gtx 1060s. Windows 10 how can I possibly run all four at the same time? They use two different video drivers?

I'm a newb but to my knowledge you can't.  I started with a 970 and got it hashing 19 MH/s but was unable to use it and the 1070s I started buying.  I only have 10xx series cards in my windows machine now.  My Linux rig runs 1070s, 1060s and 1 970s all without any trouble however I cannot figure out how to overclock the 970 in Linux so its running around 18.5 MH/s.  But at least its running and I can control the fan speed.  The 10xx series cards all overclock via server-x settings without any problem

What are you using to overclock 10xx cards in Linux and what hash rate are you getting with that?  Are you putting things in xorg.conf that you can share or are you changing in the GUI nvidia-settings?  I changed in the GUI, but it didn't have any effect.  Or are you executing on the command line?

Hi

I also have 2X1070 8GB and 1X 970 in my Rig.

the 2 1070 makes 29MH/s while the 970 only makes 2.3MH/s

Is there any solution? Windows 10 64bit, latest Nvidia driver. Claymore's 9.6

Thank You

I have the same issue , i also tried etherminer and it did hash very slow for GTX 970 , !

Someone please help! When I try to mine with RX480, the miner crashes. A have 3 card - 2x270X and 1xRX480. If i try to mine with only 270X, there is no problem, but if I try to mine with all 3 or just with the polaris - the miner crashes. I post last rows from log file:

01:40:59:271   d20   Total cards: 3
01:40:59:287   d20   Initializing...

I don't know what happened, I was mining with RX480 for 1 day, but then I try some intensity changes and after all I cannot mine with RX480 anymore...

Claymore, please help. I reinstall Windows and no change, still can't mine. ;(

If it fails on "start building OpenCL program" - something is wrong with OpenCL, i.e. with drivers.

I have this exactly same problem with my one rig, i already try several drivers, but its just always stuck in that line,  strangely claymore miner works with nicehash miner apps, how to fix this things?

i think you need to use one of the older cuda folders for the 970, try the 7.5 or 6.5 folders

Hello Claymore.

I am using Dual Eth miner on my Linux servers to mine for Nicehash. Nicehash offers API which I use to find out what coin is most profitable to mine. Sometimes it is ethereum, sometimes it is not. My problem with your software is that when I stop mining other algo and I start mining Ethereum using your software, there is a big delay until your software starts actually mining. It does something for preparation, I do not know what it is, perhaps generating some DAG, or some other things. Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.

Would it be possible to implement something into your miner to allow it to start mining faster? I would suggest maybe two solutions, but I am sure you may came up with even better one. My proposed solutions are:

1) if there is a need to prepare something on miner startup, would it be possible to implement some commandline parameter, which would cause generating of the initial data only once, on the first run, and store it on disk, so it could be reused from disk later?

2) alternative solution, if the idea with temp data files on disk doesn't work, would it be possible to, for example, implement a command line parameter for your miner, which would specify a path to file to execute, after your miner knows it is ready to start mining? This way, I would keep my previous mining software running, then I would launch your miner in parallel, and your miner would execute my custom script just before it starts mining, and this executed script would simply kill the previous miner. So this way it would at least continue mining the previous algo during your miner initializes.

All of this may seem complicated, so perhaps if you know a better solution how to make your miner start faster (ideal is immediate), then it will be greately appreciated.

Thank you

Its loading epoch. Did you read through his readme? All miners have some load time, this is 2017, not 2170

[Chapster]

Hello Claymore,

My ISP is blocking either port 4444 or connections to Ethermine.org on that port.
When I use port 14444 instead (or when I temporarily use my phone's connection), everything is fine.

The thing is that when it comes to DevFees, your miner tries several times to connect to Ethermine on that port, waiting 20 seconds each time until it finally gives up and switches to Dwarfpool.
Is there some way to force your miner to use the alternative port when doing the DevFee mining?
I searched the README but didn't find anything related to that.

Without asm optimizations it actually does very well at very good power consumption, I would really like to see what it will be when you do asm kernel for it.

Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.

If 30 seconds of your life are sooo important, try your luck with a different miner. Or are you trying to tell us that a quicker initialisation would make you rich?
Claymore is doing the best possible.

Use DDU to uninstall your drivers and install them again. I had the same issue after adding a GPU without cleaning the old drivers.
Also, make sure your PSU has enough juice for all your cards. One of them may be lacking power.

Hello Claymore.

I am using Dual Eth miner on my Linux servers to mine for Nicehash. Nicehash offers API which I use to find out what coin is most profitable to mine. Sometimes it is ethereum, sometimes it is not. My problem with your software is that when I stop mining other algo and I start mining Ethereum using your software, there is a big delay until your software starts actually mining. It does something for preparation, I do not know what it is, perhaps generating some DAG, or some other things. Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.
Would it be possible to implement something into your miner to allow it to start mining faster?

I can reduce init time from 30sec to about 20-25sec, that's all. Probably you change coins a few times an hour if you suffer from init time.

Hey Claymore,
Were you able to get your hands on Baffin?
Without asm optimizations it actually does very well at very good power consumption, I would really like to see what it will be when you do asm kernel for it.

Yes I got working RX460 card, finally. I will release new version in a few days with ASM for Baffin and some speedup for Nvidia (got 1060 card too).

[Munhenhos]

Hello all,

I've been having some issues running Claymore's miner lately. I've done everything possible that I know how to do, but I'm still having issues. Here's a list of things I've done:
-Clean uninstall drivers and install 15.12 from both Softpedia as well as AMD previous drivers page
-Using an older version of Claymore's miner (downloaded from MEGA)
-Setting Windows "swap"/virtual memory to 16GB
-Updating all device drivers
-Swapping motherboards/CPUs
-Overwriting Windows 10 with Windows 7

Here are the specs of the machine I'm most currently running:
-5x XFX R7 370's (2GB) ----- I'm mining Ubiq, not Ethereum, so 2GB cards still work!
-5x powered risers, all of which I know are working as they were tested in a working environment
-AsRock Extreme4 motherboard (the one molex plug IS connected despite powered risers, was necessary to boot)
-Intel i3-4130 w/ stock cooling
-8GB Ram
-850w power supply : Kill-A-Watt reads 750w from the wall when it's running at full speed (it did work for a few hours the first time then suddenly disconnected and I've been having issues ever since)
-Edimax Wireless Adapter (150mbps)
-Windows 7 Professional (I've tried with Windows 10 for days and finally decided that it might be the OS, but I'm still have the issue)

Misc info:
-I use Chrome Remote Desktop to remote into the device.
-Windows updates are disabled
-Radeon automatic updates are disabled
-Only things installed are device drivers, Google Chrome, and Claymore's miner

WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, HERE IS THE ISSUE I'M HAVING:
After much testing and deducing, the problem that I can replicate best is the fact that when the miner is started, the computer crashes in one way or another. Every fan still spins, and you probably wouldn't even know that it went down unless you actually saw the screen go from blue to black (switch from on to off). This confused me for the longest time since I was mostly using the device headlessly until I brought a monitor in.

I've also had it where the miner starts and then all of the sudden all of the fans kick on to 100%. It scared me to all hell the first time I heard it. Thought I fried something, but everything seems to run "fine" (besides the fact that it's not mining, of course). After a reboot every device is still there.

The only other bit of information I can seem to scrap out of this is that it crashes when the DAG epochs are created. That's the last thing I see before the screen goes black and I have to hit the reset button.



Thank you in advance for any replies, I've been working on this for days and all of these graphics cards are still just sitting.

- I had the same motherboard and you do not have to have Molex plugged in. Just read the message during the fist boot, press the required key and it will not come back. With powered risers you do not have to use MB Molex.
- If I were you I would try to run cards one by one, if successful then add one card and try again and so on until you get all 5 running. Keep 1 card in a slot > do a DDU first > reinstall the driver > run miner > shut down > use riser > run miner > shutdown > add another card > DDU > driver > riser and so on...
- I personally believe that your issue is related to power. If miner works with 2-3 cards but not with 5 this is the indicator.
 

You know that even the best PSU in the world can only deliver about 85-90% of the power written on the box. Just do the math
You either give up one gpu or get a new PSU.
Best luck m8

Hello
I have one msi gaming x rx 470 8 gb and one sapphire rx 470 4 gb on my system.

When I try to start  the miner both cards are identified as Ellesmere 3072 mb and then it quits after saying POLO/SOLO version but when I start it through nicehash gui both cards are identfied correctly one 8192 mb and the other 4096 mb and it starts mining without a problem. Ive attached a screenshot for both cases.

This is the command line Im using

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
