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

[Cubirez]

Can anyone help me with my issue :
On my all RX470 4Go rig, when i use Claymore's dual miner, the primary adaptor will hash at only one third of the other GPU's speed (12MHs vs 30MHs on eth, 140MH vs 380 MH on DCR). I tried to play with the intensity and even tried the -li mode, no change. :s
It's quite odd as i don't encounter that problem mining on the other currencies (ZEC / CN are okay).

I have similar issue with mining ETH, ZEC and XMR with Claymore's miner. It started just several days ago with one of my machines. Mining starts with expected hashrate, then goes down and down until miner stops to work. I didn't update BIOS, drivers, Windows - nothing. I have 2 RX480 Red Devils in that rig. Another rig with 3 Devils works fine - no issue. Both rigs run Windows 7 64 with 16.10.3 drivers. I tried newer drivers, tried different BIOSes (stock, Boysie's), tried different intensities - nothing helps. Cards are running cool. GPU load is 100%, but hashrate is just dying every second during several minutes... What da hell? Can't think of anything. Could somebody help? Thanks.

PS: Cubirez, check if one of your cards is running in CrossFire mode. This kills the hashrate. Crossfire should be disabled.

Checked it but none of the card is running in Crossfire mode :x

Hi all,

Can you suggest what is best for mine eth.

siacoin, DCR, pascal  

I try DCR but I finally switched on only eth, large increase in consumption and a small profit, perhaps siacoin is better?

I have 9x 470 low power bios

ETH+PASC is the most profitable for my modded RX480s ATM... I use '-dcri 15' and it only drops my ETH by about 5% on my 4gb cards. Nearly 0% on my 8gb cards.

Hello

I will have a question about the virtual memory,

I wanted to put a 2nd hard disk of 32go on my astrock btc h81. To make a raid0. To have a 64GB hard drive.

To increase virtual memory.

But asrcok btc h81 is not compatible raid.

I can choose the hard drive for virtual memory?

Eg choose 16go from my hard drive 2.?

I wouldn't worry about raid0.. it would only save you about 0.25 seconds on virtual memory allocation on miner startup. Just replace your 32gb with a larger drive.. at least 60gb. I have my vmemory set for 25GB and have zero problems.

IF you did insist on a raid config you'd have to get a PCI-e RAID card, but then you'd be taking up one of your slots :\

I had a second ssd of 32gb in stock.

This is why I wanted to raid, for precisely, not to have to buy another one.

I allocated 10go on the primary ssd c: and 16go on the secondary ssd d:

We will say that it works.

So what's better? 470, 480, or 480 8GB? I've been checking around and can't find a definitive answer on this one.

For the ETH, there is little difference between the 470 and 480. However, the RX 480 has faster memory.

480 8GB for me.  Sold all 470. There is big difference. And AMD is stopping production of 4xx...

Not what I heard when it comes to duel mining.

As far as AMD stopping production of the 4XX series, source for that? That seems highly unlikely considering they haven't introduced the high end model, which is Vega. They'll produce them the same way they produced the 3XX series and Fury. They use a word name for the high end parts and just normal numbers for the mid and lower end parts.


Anyone have any actual comparable numbers or something they can point me towards for benchmark numbers? CMB doesn't usually benchmark duel mining for some reason.

From what I understand AMD is doing a rebrand of the 4xx cards to be 5xx with negligible performance increases, similar to what they have done many times in the past.(280 to 380, 290 to 390 etc. ) The high end Vega 11 cards should be available in May, with the Vega 10 landing late this year.

From my experience with ASUS and GIGA 470's it is no brainer they are closing them down.
My info is not from internet.
No rebranding anymore. 2 new cards May. Will go out same way as ryzens. Or not, if they change their minds.

Any suggestions why (after 3 hours of steady mining) I got this message:

Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0
Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 6
Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 12
Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 18
Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 24
Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 30

They are rebranding though, the 4xx series is getting rebranded to the 5xx, available in April.

So 480 4g vs 480 8g... Do they mine the extra 20% in worth?

[miner417]

So 480 4g vs 480 8g... Do they mine the extra 20% in worth?

From what I've read and seen other people say, a 4g can get about 28-30 Mh/s, I'm getting 28.5 on my MSI armor 4g. A 8g can get 30-32 Mh/s. I'm not that experience in it yet, but I have 2 8GB's on the way, so I can report back what I find then.

I got RX480 8GB and i havent been able to get them to 30, nor even 28 in stable way. Can you share your methods, please

Curious about dual mining as well, not just vanilla mining Eth.

ive tested all algos today on my 1050ti and 1070's eth+drc eth+lbr eth+pcl tried lots of -drci from 40-100....     if you currently mining eth on Nvidia cards its worth looking into

my test show latest genoil 1070 -30% tdp default core +595 mem = eth= 30.5mhs (note this a G1 Gaming 180wat std tdp)

                           Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v8.1 1070  -drci 52 -30% tdp default core +595 mem = eth=29.8mhs + drc=675mhs

Very nice Claymore

hi nemo
i was looking to add a couple 1070 what pools do you use for dual mining eth and decred and should the hashrate show up in the pools im using
i tried with decred suprnova  and eth dwarf but couldnt get the hashrate to show up on either pool.
how much mhs do you get solo mining decred as compared to dual mining.
thanks for any help.

NVIDIA DRIVERS:
9xx cards in Windows 7 x64: just use latest/recent drivers from Nvidia website (for example, 368.81). Note that latest 372.54 is slower than 368.81.
9xx cards in Windows 10 x64: you have to use old drivers (for example, 352.xx) and miner built for cuda6.5.
10xx cards in Windows 7 x64: just use latest 372.54 drivers from Nvidia website.
10xx cards in Windows 10 x64: just use latest 372.54 drivers from Nvidia website, note that you must have Win10 Anniversary update.

I have better hashrate with NVIDIA Driver 372.54 376.60 than v368.81 on my EVGA GTX 780 3gb and 780ti.
