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

[tcsee]

Hi all,

Please can you help me with this? I want to enable mixed GPU (Nvidia+AMD) mining in Claymore's.
Currently my rig setup is single GPU GTX 1070 (asus strix 08g).
I just bought a Sapphire RX 580 8GB to add on to my existing rig, for obvious reason RX580 is way cheaper in my country.

1. Should I create 2 start.bat files as if 2 miners, 1 for AMD and 1 for Nvidia? both will point to the same pool, same wallet
2. Or there is single line command line that can handle both mix brands (AMD Nvidia) GPU together? Can you show me the command line example? I read the Claymore's readme file but didn't see any options for it for mixed GPU.

Hi Mr Claymore,

I am using claymore miner as a 3rd party miner from nicehash. I have been using for a couple months.
However, This morning from ~1.45AM to ~4.15AM my mining work was 0 from all of my rigs. but all rigs was running ok.
seems like my wallet has been replaced temporarily for 2.5hrs, then reverted back.

I had suspicion that i had been hacked, then i remember clymore miner got management port enabled by default.
i know how to disable it, if it is used by command prompt. but clueless if it is run from nicehash GUI.
I already searched possible options from nicehash gui for disabling management port, extra launch param didnt work for me.

please help!

You were hacked, as many other users I think. This morning on ethpool i saw few very suspicious miners One of them was at 561 GH/s in one moment, mining block every 30 minutes. Other was on 300 GH/s ...  few are still active I think, you can check this two :

http://ethpool.org/miners/97606dc346e7a23ebab1ddbcf6b50ee7b9bdd0cf

thanks for replying, i think i might have temporary solution for the time being, i switched off UPnP in my router so that nothing get fwd-ed to my rigs.

but i want to turn off management port completely off just to be sure.

I am dual mining on nanopool.. My primary server is US west (eth-us-west1.nanopool.org).. I get the below error once in a while..

Socket was closed remotely (by pool) ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...

I tried restarting the router/modem.. Disconnected and reconnected the ethernet cable.. Nothing worked.. Tried switching the server to US east (eth-us-east1.nanopool.org) in the batch file and that worked.. Is there a way to specify a secondary server or something in the batch file? So claymore can automatically switch to other one if it keeps receiving the socket error?? Possible??

Lets all hope its a DAG fix 

calm down

Can i dual mine zec+ Ethereum with 1060 cards?

No.

When dual mining (ETH and SIA), pressing 0 on keyboard will disable mining on GPU0.. Pressng 0 again enables mining on ETH only.. Sia mining does not get enabled.. Is there a seperate key for that?

Just press 0 again and dual kicks back in

I have a question Im loosing 20-35 mh from reported to calculated thats a whole card is this normal I no they should be different but I think this is high with my r9 cards usually everthing is close but this in on rx470 and 570 rigs Im on nanopool maybe I'll try switching pools

Go on installation folder, check README. All u need is here ...

I can tell you about my case:

Dev fee = 2%
Pool fee = 1%
Stale shares/Rejected shares (due to network latency) + Incorrect shares (due to overclocking) = aprox 2%

So in my case, my average reported hashrate should be  5% lower than my reported hashrate and indeed it is.

Calculate those numbers in your case and if they do not sum up, then something is wrong with your pool.

I had 20% (!!!) lower shares from suprnova DCR pool for the last 2 weeks and I switched to CoinMine

I have 11 rx 570. I have calculated that i use 1550w total setup in two rigs. Is this power usage high? Thats about 140w per card (including other components), or 135w without other components.

just install the card and amd driver. claymore will use both automatically. no need to change anything in the command line or .bat files you currently use.

1. Always measure from the wall.
2. Make a measurement of your system with the GPUs completely unplugged from the motherboard/risers
3. Make a measurement of your system with the GPUs installed
4. Subtract measurement of step 3 from measurement of step 4 and divide by your number of cards

This is aprox your per card consumption. In order to be more precise you would have to take into consideration your PSUs efficiency diagram but I do not think it is worth the effort.

You should name the brand of the card as well if you want other users to post their data.

Another factor you may want to mention is your GPUs core and memory voltages.

All of my 9 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB consume aprox 142 watts on SOLO ETH mining and 162 watts on DUAL mining, 875mV on core 850mV on memory

Claymore, is there a way you can implement your miner into this: https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/releases
Is it possible to mine via MultiMiner?

Just a stab in the dark but for ETH 2GB cards no longer work.

Hopefully this is the driver we've been waiting for.

i have 3 rigs with 6x gtx 1060 3gb

1 rig with 4x rx 480 8gb

1 rig 6x 1060 3gb (samsung memory) mining at 143mh ( claymore 9.7 very good work is perfect now!!!! very stable!!!! better than ethminer now)
+100 core
+730 memory
tdp 55%
at wall kill a watt says 495 watt!!!!!!!!!
all this rigs using just one thermaltake 730w!!

1 rig 4x rx 480 bios mod (27+25+27+25 i cant get more) they mining 104mh power drain is 700w!!!!!!!! nvidia won!!!!
with this i am using corsair 850w

Anyone can help me pleaseeee, I met this problem:
I have 6 RX470, install Windows 10 1703 on gpt ssd. Driver I use is Crimson 16.9.2, windows detect all gpu as well.
First time i run tools, everything is ok, but after one times, i close Claymore tools by restart computer.
After this time, Claymore tools is working but only GPU 0 can display its temperature, fan, other GPU cannot display.
I use -di command but Claymore tools only can display only one GPU.
I don't know why, so i install windows many times, try newest AMD driver but, this problem still appears. Anyone met this help me pleaseeeeeee

I'm having a problem with Claymore's miner which i can't seem to solve by myself. Im not one to ask quick but im at a loss here.

I have Gigabyte HD 7790 6GB and no matter what i do, i can't get both gpu's to work. It recognizes them both but only one works. It's also never the same core/gpu (allthough claymore's miner might assign new numbers every time i reboot).

I tried different versions of the driver, undervolting, underclocking. I lowered the intensity. Re-installed windows 10 (64) and all the drivers. No changes.
When i benchmark the card, i see 2 cores being utilized. I have ran multiple GPU's before and that was no problem. Also when i used other GPU's to mine and when i would browse it would decrease the mining speed. With the hd 7990 it simply offloads it to the unused core and the mining speed stays the same. I can confirm this in MSI Afterburner too.
I'm mining at 300 h/s with one core. Seems more then 1 core should produce, at least on a hd7990, the 2 cores should combine produce something like 480 h/s is what i have see others pull.

So to sum it up:
2 cores seem to work, benchmarking them and multi-tasking while mining the second one seems to kick in. Claymore seems to have trouble to get the second GPU to do anything at all. The one that does work seems to work as a standalone r9 280x.

I use 15.2 crimson, 12.5 claymore's miner.
This is 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

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1diREdKHkAtCNJwPs53gciXPZCkLs4fZ5z.rick1

If anyone could help me, I would be eternally greatfull.
