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

[big_daddy]

I think have a pretty good number on virtual memory.  Initial Size(MB): 3000 Maximum size (MB): 20000

no is not enough
raise it to 48.000 it should solve your problem

switch your mining to a linux distribution cause your cards of 4gb will mine much longer on linux than on windows, and linux is more stable

[Dowper_]

You cannot mine on 4GB GPU if it's on the first slot (main GPU), you need to enable integrated GPU or to install 8GB as main GPU.

version 15 works correctly up to the 376 epoch. The new version is not needed yet

when using Windows the first GPU takes something like 140-150 MB more video memory on top of the other ones that are just mining, so with that the actually used video memory gets closer to the 4GB limit and instead of 20-30 MH/s you might be getting just 1-2 MH/s for the first GPU and soon it might even stop working.

If you use the mobo IGPU for monitor, difference between first slot GPU and others is about 80 MB (Windows 10, GPU-Z).

You should set the amout of VMEM like summ of all GPUs RAM size.

Hello!

Anyone tested the mixed setup ( nvidia + radeon) ? Any tips of setting this right ?

Dowper, you are just losing your time. Everyone here will label you a F....N TROLL, just because they are blind to see the simple truth. They don't want it. Here the truth has no value. These people have earned much more with the legendary Claymore miner when the Ethereum was $1600 USD so why should they bother to change their miner just for 4% more of $160 USD per 1 Ethereum. They have emotional affection with Claymore. Emotions are stronger than logic in most people.

Hey guys,

i am old school miner on Vega 56:)

i used TRM doing 44.5Mh but now i want to use Claymore (it's more legend miner), currently doing 43.5Mh losing 1Mh a card, i am mining with 380x Vega 56 and using MmpOS as OS is there maybe a switch optimizing the hashrate 1Mh loss might not seem alot but multiple with 380x it's actually alot

Cheers!

PS i use core 950 / mem 940Mhz (Hynix) or 960Mhz (Samsung) @ 837

TRM gets 50Mh on hynix vega56. You're leaving more than 10% on the table by switching

Linux more stable? Why? Explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you are wrong, setup win10 in the right way, it is also stable. Running my Rigs on win10 over 3 or 4 months without reboot is no problem.

I had the complete different suituation, mining on W7, later on W10 gave me such problems with stability and also hashrate drops that I finally decide to move on linux completely
Linux cannot freez, that's the main point, than I can still mine with 4GB cards

the remote management is much more easier too

i have a simple question for someone im sure.

i almost always us phoenix miner.

i want to know if there is a command to show me how many shares each of the cards is getting.
claymore only gives me a total and doesn't break it down like phoenix does.
and as well what is the command to stop it from writing a log file after every session?
thanks in advance

For detailed statistics press "s" key while it running.
Start it with "-dbg -1" option for no log file and no debug messages.

You can find these informations and more in readme file.

hi , anyone still dual mining ?
any recommendationfor ETH + ?
Thx

Dualmine is sooo 2017, I would stick to pure ETH.

Dual mining was very profitable during 2017-2018 because there were not ASICs back then. The reason why dual mining was possible was because the GPU actually stays idle the majority of the time and it's the GDDR that does most of the work. So claymore figured out if there is some algo out there that doesn't require tons of memory like ETH or ZEC or XMR then it's possible to dual mine like DCR SIA and PASCAL.

Issue with this is that it's very easy and cheap to design an ASIC which is much more efficient. So you basically have one ASIC that is maybe 50x the speed of one rig. Hence why the days of dual mining are done. Since the ASICs took over and not worth mining at all these days.

I am not sure if Claymore reads this, but are you working on enabling somehow offloading the Dag after it reaches 4GB? Maybe using a rig with some 8GB cards and some 4GB cards and averaging the Dag between the cards. Would make your miner even more popular.

I believe that there isn't any way to offload the DAG. In order for the hashing to happen it needs to be loaded into the GPU's memory. I think this was discussed further up the thread.

More popular?
Claymore is the most popular ethash miner over the last 4 to 5 years. And no he didn't read this.

New to mining, but have my rig setup and it's currently mining away.

12 x MSI/AMD Radeon RX 570 (8GB)

I'm reading through a number of posts and I'm seeing that my hashrate is really low per card compared to what others are mentioning.

Code:

ETH - Total Speed: 122.407 Mh/s
ETH: GPU0 10.192 Mh/s, GPU1 10.197 Mh/s, GPU2 10.227 Mh/s, GPU3 10.205 Mh/s, GPU4 10.205 Mh/s, GPU5 10.201 Mh/s, GPU6 10.195 Mh/s,
GPU7 10.191 Mh/s, GPU8 10.219 Mh/s, GPU9 10.202 Mh/s, GPU10 10.183 Mh/s, GPU11 10.191 Mh/s

Here's claymore's report on my system

Code:

GPU0 t=59C fan=91% P=99W, GPU1 t=56C fan=88% P=98W, GPU2 t=56C fan=91% P=97W, GPU3 t=51C fan=90% P=96W, GPU4 t=56C fan=90%
 P=98W, GPU5 t=57C fan=91% P=99W, GPU6 t=52C fan=92% P=101W, GPU7 t=54C fan=89% P=96W, GPU8 t=55C fan=90% P=98W, GPU9 t=58C
 fan=91% P=87W, GPU10 t=54C fan=91% P=90W, GPU11 t=62C fan=92% P=102W
Total GPUs power consumption: 1161 Watts

I've downloaded the most recent version of the AMD drivers. 
When I initially ran claymore I did have to run the command "-drivers uninstall" as it was telling me a problem with that.  Did that and that error has gone away during startup of mining.
I'm thinking the next step is to overclock?  But even with my gaming machine I'm touchy about that due to the damage it could inflict. Is there an app that will test where I can safely set it up to?
