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

[Lunga Chung]

This is where it makes sense now. It seems you want to run your memory at 2185Mhz but your memory is 8GB. I was referring to the poster who tried to run his 4GB memory at 2200Mhz which is not possible.

The RX 470/570 and RX 480/580 if it has 4GB of GDDR you can't run it at 2200Mhz whether Hynix or Samsung.

The RX 470/570/480/580 8GB you can usually run at 2100-2200Mhz or so without issues and get something like 31MH/s.

This was more of an example how to achieve higher clocks, I agree that 4Gb cards can't reach 2200 (at least not stable). Best i could get on 4Gb Samsung is 2150 and majority of cards couldn't handle that frequency.

I have a mix of a mentioned approach, tight straps = lower frequency, loos strap = higher frequency  but in general they achieve same results

Hi,

Need help with Rx 580 8Gb moded I ve got 32 Mhs on eth with blockchain drivers but when I want to update them at 18.6 , 19.4 I get only 11.5 Mhs any ideas how to fix this.

Thx in advance

You need to switch GPU Workload to Compute in Radeon settings, if you are running with newer drivers.

Thx ,it worked!

i'm trying to run v14.6 against my testpool ( ropsten network ) but doesn't work

Code:

If you want to mine some ETH fork, always specify "-allcoins 1", it will work in all versions. If you don't do it, it may work in some old versions and won't work in recent versions.

ok thanks. Is working with command line.

-allcoins is global option so you cannot set it per pool in epools.txt, it must be used only in command line or in config.txt.

I have 3gb and 6gb Nvidia cards (P106-90 and P106-100). Try to use the 3gb ones to mine UBQ and 6gb ones to mine ETC. Once I open a second session to mine the other coin, the program always shows "driver is in use" and won't apply the mining straps for the second session. How to fix this?

You cannot use -strap option in two sessions,  you could try to add straps on first session to all cards and mine UBQ and then stop 6gb
cards and then start second session and start mining with 6gb cards only, not sure if this will work.

Right click on EthDcrMiner64.exe and "Run this program us administrator" is on. "Change settings for all users" is on too...
I have a bat file and I am trying to run it us admin - Run us administrator...

Further detail will be in the Readme. But in short, if you have windows, you need to disable Secure Boot and run the computer in Test Mode.

I had the same issue, it is a bit convoluted but there is a guide in the Readme that allows you to run the miner as the administrator.

[boregepco]

I am in Test Mode, "Secure Boot" is  disable  and still the same

Try to start your bat via command prompt as admin.

cmd-> rightclick -> run as admin

type: cd C:\YOUR_PATH\Claymore Folder

type: start YOUR_BAT_NAME.bat

I will try with a new fresh Windows. I tried everything and nothing

@Claymore: Dual mining ETH + VBK is still not possible with AMD cards, right?

That works for me! Thanks for the suggestion

How do I get windows out of test mode, when not running claymore?

Hi, what about dual mining ETH + PASC?
Anyone here mining that way?
I try to ming ETH (https://ethermine.org/) and PASC (https://pasc.nanopool.org/help), but claymore get a lot of rejected/invalid/stale shares (don't remember exactly).

Could anyone can send me correct mining config with these pools above or suggest other pool (PASC) to mine?

Thanks.

Pascal has a new, CPU only algo. Old algo is useless now

I think you can restore Secure Boot in the bios and that takes it out of test mode.

If all you're doing is mining on that computer or rig, then it probably isn't an issue to leave it in test mode.
