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

[scryptr]

My 280X does dual mining with 14.3 Mh/s @ETH with -dcri 30 set for PASCAL- no loss on ETH with PASCAL. My RX 480 8GB run best on ETH without dual mining. It is probably because the older card has a wider memory bus.

mine something else, expanse, or other ethash with the 280x.  you'll get full speed.  i didnt compare profitability though.

DUAL MINING TAKES POWER--

I updated my Linux box to the latest dual miner, v8.0.  It is a mix of two R9 280X and two R9 Fury cards.  For a couple months, it has been mining Equihash with Claymore's ZCash miner, but I wanted to try Claymore's latest dual-miner.    No problems with setup and starting the new miner.

I got ~14MH/s mining Ethereum with each of the 280X cards, and ~31MH/s with each of the Fury cards.  Pascal hash rates were just starting to stabilize on the rig when the circuit breaker popped and the room went dark.  Fury cards have a huge bandwidth.

I reset the breaker and am mining ZCash again.  LOL!       --scryptr

i've got 2 RX480 8GB with the next pars for dual mining with Claymore.s.Dual.Ethereum.Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal.AMD.NVIDIA.GPU.Miner.v8.0:

ETH:   24 + 24   Mh/s
PASC: 356 +356 Mh/s

is that ok or i should mine only ETH?

I had the same problem yesterday and also another day,

Do you use msi after burner?

When i uninstalled msi AB, my problem was gone.

so which software you using to unlock, overclock, underclock etc. if you uninstal MSI afterburner?
i get some problem too, sometimes only get 15mhs

[escapefrom3dom]

is there a way to save the AB profiles?

1. set all parameters
2. press unlock button
3. press save button
4. choose and press profile button
5. done

I did not see higher mining speed at all on any of my rigs i started to use version 8

Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner.
=========================

Latest version v8.0:

FEATURES:

- Supports new "dual mining" mode: mining both Ethereum and Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal at the same time, with no impact on Ethereum mining speed. Ethereum-only mining mode is supported as well.
- Effective Ethereum mining speed is higher by 3-5% because of a completely different miner code - much less invalid and outdated shares, higher GPU load, optimized OpenCL code.

I'm pretty sure that that 3-5% speed improvement comment is a hold-over from a previous version update... like 7.2 or something.  Claymore typically notes any speed improvement for the current update at the very top of post #1... in this case, under V8.0, he mentions no such speed improvement.  That and the fact that ETH mining speed has pretty much been maxed out for quite some time and I'm pretty sure there was no expected speed bump in this version.

I have been mining ETH + DCR with v7.4 successfully using Suprnova pool for DCR.  I wanted to change over to try Pascal with v8.0 so I simply copied over the start.bat file, left everything the same, except changed to the secondary pool address to Suprnova's Pascal address from their DCR address.  From my understanding of how Suprnova works, I assumed this was all that needed to be changed, since the suprnova username.workername part of the bat file should be identical.

However, after making this change and launching the miner, everything starts fine for ETH, but the miner is still attempting to mine DCR, which of course it cannot due to the pascal.suprnova pool address, resulting in invalid DCR shares... and, it's not even attempting to mine Pascal for some reason.

Does someone know if something else needs to be changed in the start.bat file to trigger the Pascal mining?  I can't seem to figure it out.

My RX 480 8GB cards make 27.4 Mh/s @2200 memclk.
On dual-mining with PASC speed drops to about 22 Mh/s even at -dcri -10.

Try for yourself, calculate in excel, like I do -.-
A guy wrote above that -dcri 5 for mining the second coin pays for electricity, but I found for myself that I lose 1Mh/s from ETH with DCR -dcri 5 (~144Mh/s) so I decided to keep mining only ETH.
I find 1% fee better than 2%, plus ETH is on some fantastic rise.

Try to '+/-' with your keyboard keys to see your hashrates and again - 'excel' it! >_<

is there a way to save the AB profiles?

Try C:/Program Files (x86)/MSI Afterbutner/Profiles/MSIafterburner.cfg

Copy, delete, open AB - check it's gone. Close, restore the copied file to the folder and run AB, check if it's there again.

[crpt01]

I tried reinstalling the driver and AB but, as I expected, it did not solve the problem. The dag size that reached 2gb is a problem that can not be fixed (at the moment).

i will use that card to mine exp + dcr or zec  (more profitable then mine eth at 5 mh/s)

It is better to mine ZEC.

well a fury gets 30.5 and 600mhs, which is good.  470 gets 27mhs and 270mhs.  unfortunately, power consumption is through the roofffffffffffffffffffff
inb4 rig problems

I wrote a small piece on it, see my website if you want.

How are you getting 30.5 MH/s ETH + 600 H/s PASC? I just got two Fury's and I'm not getting close to that with 15.12 drivers.

Are you running Nvidia cards? 

Claymore's miner doesn't yet support Nvidia cards for Pascal.

sapphire nitro fury, clock @ 1100, -100mv.  You should mod it to be -150mv or more (test it out), plus bring the memory clock to 400 or even 300.  I just have one, its on my gaming computer and so it mines during the night.  I'm actually mining zec with it.  dual mining uses too much electricity, its too hot in my room   drivers are 16.6 or 16.11.x or something like that cant remember.  I have a 470 that mines on that computer too.  maybe try with 16.3.2 drivers, i think thats the best.

Hello

I have since noticed a problem of hashrate,

My 2 cards on the same bios, the setting is identical, normally I must have 29mh.

But I have a gpu that has only 27mh, and this one is unstable it sometimes falls to 24.

Has anyone had this problem?

thank you

I have the same problem.
Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ 8GB - starts mining at 29.5 Eth + 750 Decred. After a while it drops to about 26,3 ETH + 640 Decred and never goes back to the speed it started with.
Can't figure out what the problem is, i've tried DDU and reinstalling drivers, more power, different cmd line, nothing works heh.
