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

[melsell1]

you are trolling us with that tiny image 

Ohhh now is better. changed the link

[xxcsu]

When I am mining LBRY + ETH i get only 55MH/s on libry at maximum. Is this the norm? Or is there some secret to it? Thanks!

need just a little bit more info  
mining on what hardware ? what op system ? what vga card AMD ? nVidia ? what driver ?
 

[Satisun]

I have 3x r9 380x in 0,1,2 slots and 3x rx 480 in 3,4,5 slots but in miner there is a mess and 1 card is trolling and i don't know which one.

How to correct that mess?

You can remove one card at a time in the PCIE slot. Or you can use the comment -di

-di    GPU indexes, default is all available GPUs. For example, if you have four GPUs "-di 02" will enable only first and third GPUs (#0 and #2).

Hi guys, can someone help me to make my rig working (6 x Asus Rx470 Strix 4gb)? As soon as I start mining, application crashes,getting error message = driver stop working. With 1 gpu, Claymore miner working normally. I tried different drivers, currently I have installed 16.9.1. (win 10-64 bit). Do I need to change .bat file or something? Does anyone have 6 rx470 card rig working as expected?

Are u sure your power supply can handle your setup power draw ?
try each card one by one , if all working as a single card setup the cards are ok .
next try to connect 2 on the same time , start the miner , then 3  , then 4 , then 5 , then 6 , and see how many cards hashing without error
if you have 3-4 or 5 card working fine, then maybe you will need a bigger power supply ...
if you installed or updated drivers , uninstall them , remove completly ,  boot the pc with one card installed , install amd driver , reboot , turn off your pc , connect all cards , and be patient when you pc is booting up with all 6 card connected , windows need some time to assign the driver for each card , it sometimes take a few minutes your screen may will flashing , flickering during this time. wait  wait and wait dont start the miner or wattman , if you do your vga driver will crash

Power supply is LC1200 V2.4

It must be strong enough regarding specification. I succeed to start rig working with 4 cards ant that is it. Not working with 5-6 cards.

The Nitro+ 8GB can easily do 2250 MHz memory.

What about the Nitro+ 4GB?

Any experience with those?

Mine crash as soon as I set memclock above 1875... 

Win10 x64, driver 16.9.1

Any ideas?

Use GPU-Z to check memory manufacturer.  If it is Samsung it will OC awesome, if not, it will only OC a little.  From the cards I have, all the Nitro 8GB are Samsung, the 4GB tend to be Hynix.

Yep, you're right. All my cards have Hynix memory chips. I don't want to OC, I want to UV... undervolt!

And right now, I believe I've found the sweet spot:

GPU: 900 MHz, 800 mV
Mem: 1750 MHz, 800 mV

Speed per card: 22 MHs ETC, 275 MHs SC
Power per card: ~55W (GPU-Z)

hello

i have one rig with 5 rx 480 nitro OC (not reference card)-saphire.

temporary i am mining ETH + SIA.

I have a set up 1250 GPU clock (defolt is 1346) and 2200 memory clock (defoult is 2000).
I have power at the wall 1,2 kw.
I did not change votaltage.
I have cca 128-135 Mhash for ETH and cca 2000 Mhash for SIA. (dcri 30).
Temp GU is aournd 68-72 C (fan from 80-95%).
Fot test i went with 1250 GPU and 2250 MC and i have 138MH+2500 sia (dcri around 35). but the system did not handle it and after few minutes restart windows 10.

can i do some change in voltage to have the same hash,but less power consuption? I foound several set up for rx 480 ref. card., but for that one not so much ,specially for dual mining. I am ssing TRIXX 3.0 for setin up GPU.

I am ussing two PSU: 650 (2 cards) and 750w (3 cards plus MB). At specification for GPU it say that one card need 225 w.

Also, when i raise DCRI to 32, system get unstable and few times GPU4 crash. Can this be a probem with PSU? The heat for to 74/75, but the system do not handle it. When i raise memory clock to 2250, ETH hash goes to 138, but is is not stable, which is strange, becouse i saw few test, where at 2250 was just ok.

I suspect that my PSU 750w (corsair RM), cannot handle 3 gpus at maks load.

Also, when in mine dual, hash is not stable. is that normal? i saw that i need to raise power limit to 20% higher. i did riase power limit tfor 10 %,but tht system start acting strange and again, it was not stable  and crash-restart( i am using risers with molex).

thank you in advance for any advice.

Just one suggestion:

If your system is unstable, leave your memory setting at their default values.

Reduce your GPU speed and your voltages, both for GPU and Memory.

You'll might loose 5-10% speed but you'll save 20-30% power

That's the trick! Got it?

No need for MSI Afterburner or Trixx or even WattTool. AMD's Wattman is more than enough to achieve this goal

i forgot to say that at 1250 GPU and 2200 MC system is stable...just need to undervolt it, but i do not now how, and how much mV per card?

i saw that, but it is only for mining ETH. Not dual mining EHT +SIA.

I will still looking, maybe i miss something.

another noob question how to join a pool like ethpool or nanopool
I am going to setup 3 rigs with 5gpu's on each of them so my question is how to join the pool for each of coin this Miner supports

Thanks in advance

There is a start.bat file in the Claymore directory. This is called a batch file. It can be setup to run when your computer turns on. You need to do a couple things first.

1. Set your computer to automatically login to windows on reboot and not require username/password.
http://www.howtogeek.com/112919/how-to-make-your-windows-8-computer-logon-automatically/


2. Make a shortcut to the claymore start.bat file and put it into the windows startup folder

You don't want to mine at ethpool. You won't get paid for weeks at a time because of the way they divide work.

At ethermine (run by the same people as ethpool), nanopool, or dwarfpool  you just need an ethereum wallet address. You don't have to signup to mine on those pools. You just need to specify your ethereum wallet address.  Follow the instructions in Claymore's readme.txt and replace his wallet address with your own.  You can use worker names like "worker1" "worker2" and "worker3" to identify your 3 different rigs so when you look at your stats on the pool you'll know which rig is which.

Hope this helps.
 

is it auto start Miner(Mining)
Means to say if my pc restarted or shutdown unexpectedly this miner start(restart) automatically and start mining?
Sorry for noob questions as i going to start Mining now

Start with BIOS settings on motherboard.  You usually have three options after a power loss event:  Shut Off, Turn On, Return to Previous State

Next would depend on your operating system.  For Windows, add program to startup folder.  For Linux, add program to Startup Applications.

Follow the directions provided on the pool website.  If you are just starting, I would get some equipment (maybe just one video card) and get that up and running. 

Thanks alot

The internal GPU does not have enough memory to work, but the second card has 2gb allocated to it and it works ok with ethminer?

Error is CL_INVALID_WORK_ITEM_SIZE
You won't be able to start this miner on your videocard, it is not supported. It is possible to fix it though, I will try to do it in next update.

very much appreciated

when will you issue the next update (not pushing ... simply asking )

[adamvp]

Is it possible  that dual SIA mining NOT change hashrate  compared to ETH only?
Or there is something wrong with cards/drivers etc?
Gigabyte 380x.. about 20mhs a card with and without SIA..

may i ask what is the result with hash? dual ETH +SIA and power consuption?

thanks

Moreover, at some (not large) -dcri values in dual mode you can get a bit more ETH hashrate compared to ETH-only mode (because of shorter queue to memory access), though I see it on 390 cards only.
Increase -dcri and ETH hashrate will fall.

On my RX 480 Nitro+, increasing -dcri to about 40 for SIA will also increase the hashrate for ETH. MemClk = 2200 and core  = 1050 mV.

Interesting. I would think the opposite or assume you can use some tricks to achieve the same without the increased power draw (like explicitly flushing or deliberately "starving" that queue).

I don't currently run a secondary coin because high memory clocks with tight timings are only stable at low temperatures (which is also beneficial for power efficiency on it's own) and it's hard to keep the reference 480s cool even at ~100% fan speed if they are busy with two coins. So, single-ETH seems to be better overall (for me, for now. may be winter will change that).
