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

[Blisk]

today I have bought nvidia GTX 1650 4GB ram
I have installed windows 10 and latest nvidia driver.
But when I run miner I get this, any idea how to solve this?

This PC -> Right-click -> Properties -> Advance system settings -> Click settings under performance -> Advance -> Click change under virtual memory -> custom size -> set to 16000 MBs.

Then try again.

I did that and doesn't help at all

What version of claymore are you using?
It sounds like 4GB isn't enough for the DAG since the current DAG is 3.27GB for ETH or 3.34GB for ETC.

what's the actual best secundary coin to mine with ETH on claymore?

what's the actual best secundary coin to mine with ETH on claymore?

People don't dual mine anymore pretty much, even people with free electricity just no point anymore.

The dual mining was good before ASICs were created for all those dual-mineable coins like SIA, Decred, Pascal, etc. Since those algos were mostly GPU compute it was fairly easy to fabricate a highly efficient ASIC kind of like the Double SHA256 which is used by Bitcoin.

If you still want to try it, then go to
https://whattomine.com/

Click the ETH+ and put in your details, however don't get your hopes up. Pretty sure none of those are profitable.

Dual mine ETH is a waste of money, it will heat up your rigs hotter and wear them out faster

I did that and doesn't help at all

1. Try increasing it to 20000 MBs.
2. Try launching two miner instances instantly and close the first one. It will force to regenerate DAG.
3. Try adding this parameter "-lidag 0". Reduces it to the lowest intensity for DAG generation.
4. Try adding this parameter "-eres 0".

anyone else gets this ? win got lots of mem, cards got lots of mem, driver is the best so i dun understand

look at your virtual memory settings in Windows
Advanced System Settings -> tab "Advanced" -> under "Performance"- button "Settings" -> tab "Advanced" -> button "Change" -> uncheck "Automatically...." -> Custom size ->  What number is written here?

Will the latest version work with the latest Windows 10  builds?  

Been a while since I have mined but figured I might as well heat my house with my miners this winter.  

I remember trying to turn of windows updates and it was impossible, would wake up to tragedy... I wonder if windows ever addressed that?

Thanks everyone, mine on!  Someday our ships will come in.

New question:  Which windows 10 build seems to work best? Thanks

[bategojko74]

@Claymore, I don't know if anyone already had this problem. I have a 8 x RX570 8GB rig mining solo ETH, randomly one card (any card) drops to 22Mhs for minutes and then it starts again going to full speed. I have been seeing this for long time now, any advice?

Thanks

Does the fluctuation of the hash rate on the one card reflect in the pool?
I read it somewhere that when a correct hash is calculated by the VGA and sent to the pool, it may affect the hash rate of the card for just a moment.

Also, try to remove any OC that you have on that card and see if it solves the issue.

Yes, it does reflect the card pool. With Phoenix and same OC settings I don't have any of this issue. Card are running really cold, so it is also out a question that cards are slowing down because of heat. It is not just a moment, I'm talking about minutes slowing down.

Phoenix Miner is better optimized for power consumption than Claymore. It consumes 2 watts less at same OC settings and less power means less temperature and overheating. To solve your problem decrease -tt. This will result in  increasing of  your fan speed and the sound.

I am getting a hard reset everytime I try any of the straps. I have testing mode enabled, secure boot off, driver 19.4.1 installed and 8 hynix rx580 8gb cards on win 10. When it goes to apply straps, it gets to the point where it shows the strap has been applied to the 2nd card and then...boom, reset. Tried with all levels of strap (1->5). I am setting the clocks with overdriventool externally, at 1751mhz (pretty low for testing sake).

The same thing is happening to me.I am at my wits end with this rig PLEASE SOME ONE ANYONE HELP!!! so i have a 6x rx rig with 4 x470 and 2 x570 all 8gb. ok so like a few days ago it crashed right and this is after a month of solid mining with no resets or reboots or crashes. so things that i have tried i replaced the psu with a 1200 watt seasonic prime which is more than enough, i also switched out mobo from a gigabyte h110 dm3 to a asrock  btc pro, i have tried lowering the clocks, i have tried mining on just the rx470s and the 570s all to no avail, the only thing i havent done yet is switch out all the risers i am waiting on mine to arrive which is tomorrow. but i highly doubt that will fix the issue as i am able to mine with phoneix miner but the hashrate is pretty shittty. i mean going from 191 mh/s to 90 something is unacceptable. so please any one some one please help i am open to any suggestions at this point.

Have you tried to DDU yet?

[Ventero]

Hello everyone,

can you guys share with me your oc settings?

Mine is

GTX 1080
0core/1900mem/120W
getting average 37.5 MHs

GTX 1070 TI
0core/1250mem/105W
getting average 31.7 MHs

I am using linux (HiveOS). Windows uses another metric so it's hard to compare. Or do you know how to convert windows mem oc value to linux mem oc value? ;-)

im curious about your results, thanks.

modifying the bios and without using -strap gives me about 30 mh/s

What could be the cause?

sorry for writing bad english

In this test was the gpu with the original or modified BIOS?

my friend you you are using strap wrong.Read the file from claymore,
-strap 1  or -strap 2 etc....
delete pol8s4 just write -strap 1

New question:  Which windows 10 build seems to work best? Thanks

If I remember correctly we stayed on 1709 for a while because 1803 caused the miner to take a long pause or stop. Also ATIFlash was not supported by 1803. Both issues are fixed and you can use any build. I let mine update to the latest. I think it's a good idea to at least stay on a build that is still supported by Microsoft.
Microsoft has changed it's policy a bit, they no longer push new builds automatically, you have to start the update manually. You get updates to the build you are on as long as it's supported and get reminded that your build is near end of support. I'm not sure if they will push the new build if you reach the end of support date.
