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

[janding]

I need a little help guys. I have one AMD card (will be adding more) to my 7 card Nidvia rig. I only want to use Claymore for the AMD card. This is my bat file, but it's still running all the cards. Can someone tell me what I need to do to tweak it?

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

-di 0

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:14444 -ewal 0xfe943a6dabf68375754d07044812f76a0dd01d64 -epsw x

Insert -di 0 into config.txt

Seems to have done it. Thanks again.

Yeah, it's still reading all cards. I don't get  it.

Try this:

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 us1.ethermine.org:14444 -ewal 0xfe943a6dabf68375754d07044812f76a0dd01d64 -epsw x -di 0



CONFIGURATION FILE

You can use "config.txt" file instead of specifying options in command line.
If there are not any command line options, miner will check "config.txt" file for options.
If there is only one option in the command line, it must be configuration file name.
If there are two or more options in the command line, miner will take all options from the command line, not from configuration file.

Changes made in v11.4 are related only to AMDs or to NVIDIAs too? I am asking because my Nvidia rigs can run without crashed only on v10.6 version. v11 above is a tragedy for Nvidias

For me too. I have tried to use any 11.x version, but all of them have strange hashrate. It is less then in 10.6. So I rolled back again to 10.6 (

It is running stable and with good hash rate at my Nvidia rig (6x). Linux here.

love the program and have used it for a months.. why you gotta package it in a way that everything thinks its a virus lol

i download it from mega, chrome says no... cant download from google cause they say no, finally download with microsoft edge, windows says no instead, finally add rule to protection to skip folder.. IT works yay

You can dload from Google. Just right click it and copy to your drive (Google). Then it let's you dload if you make a copy of that on your drive. You still have to stop windows deleting it though.

Or use Linux instead of Windows!

Guys, I´d really appreciate an advice. I run several 6*rx470/480 rigs. Suddenly out of nowhere Claymore miner refused to start, it says:

Thanks a lot and sorry for such a long message.

 

[peterboy1]

pre v11, im never getting any incorrect shares dual mining

now, even with 11.4, im getting incorrect shares. i even downclocked mem, increase voltage and fan speeds to no avail, like so noticeable that my hashrate decreased a lot from downclocking. although im not getting any memory errors in hwinfo.

whats up with v11s?

[vTorus]

Since an update to 11.3 only one rig can't create the dag file. - open cl error -48

There are RX480 8gb.

So i test the Version 11.2 again and all works fine.

What can it be?

Is that on one of your rigs or on all of them? have you tried swapping cards to see if it is a faulty card? I would say it is the card because I had a similar effect. For me one card was overclocked/undervolted too much and stalled and as a consequence the watchdog jumped in and restarted the miner...

I am moving to Phoenix too, dual mining becomes unprofitable, miner is unstable, devfee is huge for Claymore.

[z0n0]

Here's a question:
If my biggest and main problem with mining is heat, whats the best way to lower the heat from GPUs?
Should I use lower clocks, is there a command line which tells the miner to mine slower/less intense...?
I'm willing to sacrifice the hash speed for lower temps.
Thanks!

[j2james]

Success here too, however all is not well just yet.

First, thanks for the stale shares fix on Ethermine, and the 1.5% improvement on hashrate.. We went from 4% to 1% stale shares and 5540 to 5625 MH/s (191 GPUs).

However, every hour (dev fee) there seems to be an issue where random rigs stop mining. Prior to 11.x I had roughly 10-12 days without downtime. This was still happening after upgrading to 11.4. Someone in ethOS chat mentioned that this is related to the new SSL stratum connection. After reverting to the old non-SSL port, the issue went away. So, if anyone is experiencing random mining stoppage, I would suggest you do the same.

Working great now! But, we need a reliable SSL connection. This was a great idea, and I look forward to being able to use it reliably in the future.

yeah, i know 11.2 and above is about fixing cheating programs because of ssl integration. but lots of others are affected especially stability. im getting random incorrect shares now within 24hrs. i never had my rigs run more than 24hrs due to this incorrect shares, because whenever i get incorrect shares i downclock mem, after that, i still get incorrect shares with random gpus and so on. cant keep mining for more than 24hrs due to this problem. i wanted to ignore it, but the rule is, incorrect/invalid/stales/rejected are wasted hashing power.

[Marvell2]

so claymore is expensive and now unstable smh i guess back to phoeniex

I dual mine which generates a lot of heat. I find lowering the power limit has the biggest effect on lowering temperatures and power usage, while affecting hash rate the least. Next is undervolting the core and the least effect on lowering temperatures is adjusting the clock speed, which also affects the hash rate the most compared to adjusting the power limit and undervolting.

Otherwise you can also lower the temperature by increasing the airflow to dissipate the air around the rig. I use a box fan which is cheap and does a good job.

lower clock will reduce has at the same time- if you are fine with it
command line for reducing intensity - see Page 1

Idunno what's with all the whining, v11.4 runs great.

Modded RX 580 Gaming X 8G getting 30.8 Mh/s ETH & 1.175 Gh/s XVG on Win 10, beta drivers with semi-conservative Claymore settings.
Using MSA to set fans at 38% for ~51c on all cards (plus 12V fans blowing through the GPUs), 68F ambient temperature.

Could dial things up or down for more or less power/hashes but things are solid, cool, and fast enough. Will tweak things again later.
Should be able to lower wattage by 10 to 15W or bump things up and get 31.25 Mh/s ETH, 1.3 Gh/s XVG and still be stable with reasonable temps but MEH, whatever.
(ETH only = 31.25 Mh/s all day long at -mclock 2200 -dcri 8, 48c, 30% fan. -mclock 2225 will do 31.5 but was slightly unstable after 10 hours.)
