Claymore, you should definitely include a command line switch which completely disables ADL (all kinds of hardware monitoring/control, don't even scan for it). It took me a few days (and a few rounds of jumping between driver/CNext versions) to realize WattMan disables the GPU clock/voltage controls whenever your software is running but enables them when it's not. I wish to try and undervolt my 480s...

Are you sure that "-tt 0" does not work? Moreover, ADL for 480 works only in v6.0.

Currently windows 10 mining with nvidia is broken on ethereum on anything 980ti and lower unless you're running nvidia driver version 347.88, which brings its own issues.

Getting "cannot allocate big buffer for DAG" on my card.
I have used
GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0 GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Page file set to 16gb.
Any other ideas?
15.12 IN WINDOWS, USE "SETX" BEFORE EACH ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE-- 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 Otherwise the environmental variable will NOT be set. In Linux, use "export", and an equal sign, "=", like so: EXPORT GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1 Otherwise the environmental variable will not be exported. --scryptr

Yes, I tried to add "-tt 0" but it doesn't seem to help (I only tried that with v6.0 though, not with v5.3). The GPU clock/voltage panel of WattMan gets grayed out whenever I start mining and it always comes back yellow (operable) when I stop mining. I am not entirely certain it's related specifically to the hardware monitoring/controlling capabilities of your software or WattMan locks those controls under any kind of heavy computing loads. But it seemed to be a good "educated guess" at first if WattMan tries to "hand over the controls" when something else polls the hardware (think about third-party software like AfterBurner and GPU Tweak II, etc).

I am looking through the readme.
Would setting -ethi to lower intensity be a viable way to save resources so I could game and mine at the same time?
You can use the -di parameter to run off card(s) so you can game. It took me a bit of trial and error to turn off the right card so I could use it for gaming. Once you figure it out create a second start.bat.........one for full mining and one for gaming.

Why cpu usage so high for nvidia mining?
edit: Not intended for integrated graphics since display is set to main pci slot for AMD. Is there a work around for this?
edit 2: Actually I tried on both gpu and integrated and still has high cpu usage.

The settings were not required for other algos with nVidia cards. The new generation of cards is having real problems for both the Red Team (AMD) and the Green Team (nVidia). I haven't bought into either yet, waiting for good news. --scryptr

Claymore, Any news on the driver/OS combo that will be supported for Linux v6.0?. I would love to have a clean install ready to test your miner as soon as the new version becomes available.

warning! 6.0 resets rx480 wattman's fan and acoustic level settings to default (0-1000rpm, 9** MHz) if you didn't set it in miner's config so you get hashrate decrease after gpu gets hot

OP shows that it was tested with a GTX 970 -- What driver version and what OS was used?
On Windows 10 with 347.52 I can't get 6.0 to work and if I update to the latest driver I have the same issue with low hash rate that plagues the GTX 970.
Is there a way to make it use CUDA 1.1 ?

99-100% of CPU (i5 2500K) load with 3 GTX 970. On genoil it was 25%!!!

We are running a rig with 2 Nvidia cards: - GTX 970 (maxwell) - GTX Titan X (maxwell)
With driverversion 368.81 and cuda_7.5.18 we get about 7.5Mhs on Ethash. (both cards in total) an 95Mhs on Sia. Running Windows 10 x64.
Other algo's give good performance, how to get it working with Claymore's dualminer?

Agree with that, i want to try the last version and the 6.0 resets all fan and acoustic settings in wattman's, can you fix the problem with wattman Claymore ?
