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

[NavyCuda]

Is there s way to limit GPU usage when using Claymore ? I own 1080Ti, but for mining purposes I would like to allocate only 50% of its resources. I need the other 50% of power to be able to work on my PC.

Found "-ethi" command, but putting "-ethi 0" in .bat file still doesn't seems to fix the issue. I get lower hash rates, but only by a bit (~30Mh/s) and GPU usage is at about 95%.

I've found that with my GTX 970, running about 90% load with the miner means I can do most other tasks without issue.  Can even play some old games like the first Far Cry and Half-Life 2.

Did you use "-ethi 0" or something else ?

I think I'm at -ethi 1 or 2

Sinces today i get this error , whats this ?

increase your virtual memory

already and nothing , same error.

I noticed just Before the "cannot get current temperature, error 999" ( and 1 cards shuts down ), i see a small windows loading circle.

Anone knows anything to disable in windows 10 that can be the cause of these crashes? I have already disabled windows update.

Check your power management policy (Start -> Run -> powercfg.cpl) and make sure that PCIE Link State Power Management is disabled (Off)

its off, just checked it again.
What could it possible be? Can this scenario cause any problems:
I have asrock h81 pro btc, , i have plugged in the monitor to the 16x slot, that cant be it right?
When i added the cards, i just added them all and then installed drivers. All cards are shown in device manager.
Anyone recommend doing a Clean with DDU, then starting with 1 card on the 16x or the closest pcie from the cpu, installting nvidia drivers and then adding 1 card and rebooting?
Cant really Think this is the problem but i am desperate...

Hi everyone
I am new to mining. Setup my rig with 5 x GTX1060 (the 6th GPU is on back order) and I am using Claymore V9.7
3 x Asus Strix OC 6GB
2 x Gigabyte Windforce OC 6GB
They are all using Micron memory chip. I am getting default Eth hashrate of 19.xMH/s. Power usage = 560W.
I tried to OC using MSI AfterBurner and have attempted various settings but with success. It keeps crashing.

1) PL 100% Core 0 Mem +650
[Artifacts on screen]

2) PL 100% Core 0 Mem +600
[Getting 23.2 MH/s - Power usage 610W. No ideal as I am only running 5 cards. If I add the 6th, power usage will be approx. 720W - this is bad]

3) PL 65% Core 0 Mem +500
 [Getting 22.5MH/s - Power usage 430W. Stable for 2 hours but crashed when I open Internet browser. Attempted 2nd time and it crashed after 15mins. Crash as in I am getting 1.44MH/s on GPU1 and GPU3 after some time and the PC is VERY SLOW, UNRESPONSIVE and had to reboot. Checked log and found error - 1bcc   NVML: cannot get fan speed, error 999 (an internal driver error occurred]

Not sure how to optimise to get a stable mining performance. Checked forum and saw some ppl did it with PL 65% Core +200 Mem +900-1000 but this didn't work for me. Immediate crash.

How do you guys optimise? I suppose we start from increasing the Mem, then find the sweet spot and adjust the PL leaving Core untouched? I can get good results but they wont last, probably crash after 5 to 20mins.

Do I have shitty cards?

It's bad idea because remote manager won't know that new port is used. Just set "-mport 0" if you don't use remote manager.

Hm. Look's you are right - changing randomly port will not say anything to remote side (remote manager)...
"-mport 0" looks like best option for now.. Will try to check how often error with temperature and then with locked port 3333 will appear.

for Nvidia, do we still need to use the old 372.54 drivers or the latest 384.76?

+1 for question - what version of drivers best at the moment (for mining) ?

Miner app at start says "Driver 368.81 is recommended for best performance and compatibility". Actual driver version is 384.76

1. If your MB has built-in card use it for monitor.
2. Turn off hardware acceleration.

I'd recommend 382.53

Hi guys, I'm looking for some help, please. Claymore 9.5 runs fine but I cannot get 9.6 or 9.7 going. In 9.7 I get : "ETH: Stratum - Cannot connect to eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999. Failed to connect." I have Win 10, 1x ASUS ROG STRIX GAMING GeForce GTX 1080 Advanced Edition, newest driver 384.76. Claymore 9.5 runs fine with 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

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal walletNR/Name/Email -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10  

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yes I have an inbuilt card but I don't use it. I use TeamViewer to check my rig.
Turn off hardware acceleration? Will it help to yield more hash rate or provide stability? I cant seem to find a guide on net that explains all the necessary steps for optimising mining.

Make sure that when the win 10 pop up that asks if you want to allow EthDcrMiner program to access the internet (or whatever the actual words are to that effect) that you click allow.

Do you guys recommend any specific drivers for 6xgtx1070 mining ethereum with claymore?
Using latest drivers but getting "error cannot read temperature".
Seen some people recommend 382.53 and 382.33, while the miner says to use Another version.

Why don't you stick to 372.54 which Claymore has tested and proven working?

I didnt even know 372.54 was recommended, thats why i am asking. Just want to know what most people use for these cards.

Hello!
I am ONLY getting 19 Mh/s on 1060 3GB with overclocking. Is this normal?

[unkwn]

greetings. Did anyone test 9.7 with 1080ti? is it better now? thanks in advance

[EtaCarinae]

1080ti is marginally better (+1mh/s) and about 10% in the second coin dual mining. I suppose claymore doesnt own one of these to make better tests. I firmly believe these can push the 40s in eth and have 1800mh/s sia or 1200 pascal running at 38.5+ on eth.

[tsg]

Is there any chance that next versions will bring any improvements (less high-epoch decrease) in hashrate on AMD Radeon cards?
Or we will have constantly hashrate decrease epoch after epoch?

According to reviews 19 Mh/s on 1060 is normal without oc. But with oc, not sure, maybe you need to try other oc settings.
