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

[spinx]

I have a noobish question; can i use this (DAG-less?) miner with a bunch of 2GB cards without performance issues? I have some RX560 2GB laying around and want to try dual-mining. Thanks!

NO, THE DAG IS WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO GPU MEMORY--

The 2GB memory is insufficient.  The miner is "DAG-less" only in the sense that the DAG is no longer written to the system disk for repeated access.  The Ethereum algorithm still requires a DAG, and enough GPU memory to hold it.       --scryptr

Ok, thanks man. Any coin/miner that can make my 2GB cards profitable?

CLAYMORE'S ZCASH MINER--

I mine with his ZEC miner.  It uses less wattage per card.  Look also at SGminer softwares, there are many variations.  Or, Claymore's CryptoNight miner.  You need to research your coins.         --scryptr

I'm hoping someone can help me.

I'd like to set my GPU's clock and voltage settings. I can do it for the first card and I thought that I would be able to separate the second, third, fourth cards settings with a comma, but it's not working. It only sets the setting for the first card.

Example of what I'm currently using:

-cclock 1112,1112 -mclock 2000,2000 -cvddc 860,860 -mvddc 900,900

...and don't expect the cards to work under Windows without first taking sledge hammer to the Windows driver digital signatures, use Ubuntu instead and avoid that mess.

I'm using Nicehash and only use Claymore EthDcrMiner64.
Recently i got this error
It happens every 6 or so hours and then my computer freezes.(multiple EthDcrMiner64 Windows popping on)

Can you please help!

Something new with the droping hashrate on Radeon cards ?

[madLyfe]

is it possible to have change most of claymores settings on the fly? changing files in a text file and restarting the miner everytime during testing is kind of archaic. im guessing some of the settings need to be set before run? if thats the case it can still be done a runtime and just have the miner reset when applied. way easier that killing claymore, changing setting(s), and starting again.

Getting issues with the latest version... it seems to stop at some point here for whatever reason and locks the rig:

Any ideas?

Maby mix ports PCI?

[swisstrader]

Today I got the beast - AMD Radeon Vega FE 16GB.

Does somebody know why mining with Claymore's ETH miner isn't working?
I've set -etha 0 as reported by miner.

I need to know which hash rate we can get with this newest GPU.

Thank you in advance for a reply.

Claymore, please consider adding rejects/incorrect shares per card stats to your miners. The recent addition of per card shares is nice but it would be really valuable to be able to spot the culprit card that causes bad shares without browsing through logs meticulously.

I've already made custom bioses. I don't go as extreme with the bios settings as I do with the settings in windows for stability reasons. I once has a card that was bricked by apply settings via bios mod that worked in claymore.

My questions is why cannot I not set the settings for multiple cards like I'm supposed to be able to with the claymore bat file? Only the first card will take the settings

Also worth noting that it only shows the temperature of the first card, yet all cards are hashing.

I believe ethminer is the only miner currently working for vega. Don't expect much though, it's only getting about 30MH/s from what I've seen.

Press "s", see "Incorrect shares", it shows stats per GPU when at least of incorrect share is found. Also ETH shares are checked before sending to pool so miner cannot send incorrect share and "rejected" shares from pool are not related to GPU problems.
For general "rejected" shares stats per GPU for other coins - check my message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg19540815#msg19540815

Claymore, what causes the miner to lock up while setting up gpu's, as per my log extract above?

It's very annoying because only a hard reboot will solve it.

It must be some hardware-related problem.

That usually happens when crossfire is on.

hi guys

i'm using claymore 9.6 ( eth only ) and ethermine pool. reported hashrate = 235.

i've noticed that the effective hashrate drops to 210/200 when the miner runs for 10+ consecutive hours
then when i restart windows the effective hashrate quickly increases to 230/250

any suggestion?

thanks

This sounds like
A - DAG file degradation inside the cards
B - too high overclock and memory errors
C - summertime hotness

[GG87]

Thanks

I just downloaded hwinfo to monitor the memory errors.. i will check.. what is an acceptable rate?
