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

[Vizierx]

Anyone else having trouble with this version? hast rate is up and down like a yoyo unfortunately.

Yes, I've had same issue. See previous pages for my feedback. I'm back to Eth only mining with asm 0.

There is something wrong with the new version (kernel), use -asm 0. I am doing dual ETH+DCR very stable but using -asm 0.  Unfortunately @Claymore said that he didnt see this behaivor in his gpus, but there are many report of fluctuation in this thread with v9.

Try to see GPU load if you using MSI afterberner.
On multi GPU system with cheap 1-2 core CPU i noticed what this occurs.

Solution is to set in bat file
start /high EthDcrMiner64.exe #####blablabla####




or via task manager manual set priority to high

Try this maybe it help in your case.

I have corsair rm1000i and it takes 980w from wall. 6 x rx480, dualmining with 8.1 Consumption is ok, miner is 100+ hr stable.

core/memory settings please?
you have 1x gpu more than me and same wattage, so probably  I set something wrong

core 1100, memory 1900.
Afterburner settings : -90mv and power limit -45

[mikbal]

I reverted back to -asm 0. Many of my cards (rx470 and rx480 modded bioses from all brands) were fluctuating. This resultted in about %10 decrease in effective hashrate.

Increase power limit doesnt work.
Higher or lower dcri reduces fluctuating (doesnt end it). But my profits are reduced compared to -asm 0.
Higher cpu priority had no effect.

So i m actively monitoring this thread to increase my decred hashrate %60 again

Hello
Which pool you advise me to decred?

I would like to teter eth + dcr, but I do not know many dcr pools.

thank you

!!!!!!!
-For everyone saying their hashrate is now fluctuating with v9.0 and asm 1.. try increasing power limit on your cards. at least like 10-15% and let me know if it makes a difference

I can confirm in linux (6xRX480) with powertune 7 (max powerlimit) the fluctuating with v9.0 and asm 1 is the same thing, unfortunately not fix the issue. Back to asm 0 which work just fine.

Hi everyone
I have been a luker and this is my first post and contribution to mining community.
I found the problem and solution to this.
Check your  GPU Z sensors that your memory controller load is fluctuating and the hasrate is fluctuating in exactly same manner. (This was observed by few other people too here)
Now observe the GPU power and it fluctuates same way and goes to maximum of 110 W for my RX 470 Red Devil OC by Power Color. I read in a Overclocking forum that if you max out your power, your memory load will reduce. So I reduced my voltage through waltman and viola the fluctations reduced to almost minimal even at dcri 30 as long as my GPU power was around 100 W.

I am very new to mining (started last week) but I think that the issue that dual mining with ASM takes a lot of power and we know that RX 470 has a max tdp of 120 W. However, GPU Z reading of 110 W probably means that from the wall it is 120 W so GPU is throttling or something.
My system specs:
RX 470 OC Power Color Red Devil (Got them for 200 CAD dirt cheap and comes out of box frequency of 1270 and memory 1750) Samsung memory
BIOS stock (tried to flash BIOS but was unsuccessful).
Using AMD watmann I reduced stock frequency to 1200 and increased memory to 2100. Core voltage at 900,950 and memory voltage at 950.
-dcri 30
GPUZ: 100 W, 91ish % memory control load, temp is around 70 for 16x pcie card and 60ish for 4X pcie card.
Dual hasrate: ETH:26mh/s DCR: 800mh/s I know that my ETH hashrate is not as high as other people like 28+mh but I am still learning so who knows.

tl;dr Hashrate fluctuations with ASM mode are due to GPU hitting max power so decrease clock frequency and core and memory voltage to get a stable hashrate.

p.s  just wants to say thank you @claymore. Great work buddy.

If you decrease cor/mem values you will be end with less speed which is the opposite that everyone wants. One of the beauty of this miner is keep eth speed plus adding another coin mining only with more power. If the answer is decrease value then use another miner which they are more slower than claymore and use less power.

just my two cents.

Decreasing core voltage by 100 does not decrease my ETH. Decreasing core frequency by 4% did not decrease my ETH hashrate. Decreasing memory votlage by 50 did not decrease my ETH values. From my understanding, it is the Memory frequency that needs to be max due to Ethash algorithm using memory and not core frequency. I am a noob to mining so I might be wrong.
Atleast for me, I can lower my core frequency and voltage to certain points without loosing even a fraction of hasrate and reducing my power consumption by 10% and my temperature lowered by 5 to 10 degree celsisus.

Do not look within claymore to figure out if you actually had reduced profits. Look at the pool.  Show us pool charts showing you had 10% less hashrate overtime.

Can someone suggest me which core/memory settings is best for my rig?

modified bios - 1750 straps to 2000 only

5x480 nitro OC+
core 1100  , 1000mv
memory 2100, 1000mv
-dcri 35
- asm 1

eth - 135 mhs / dcr-4700 mhs

980w from wall - is this to much for my Corsair RM1000x  ?
which settings should I change to get lower energy consumption from wall?

I have corsair rm1000i and it takes 980w from wall. 6 x rx480, dualmining with 8.1 Consumption is ok, miner is 100+ hr stable.

SAFE LOAD ON PSU SHOULD BE BELOW 70%--

You have a well-made PSU, but the load you specify will wear it out much faster than normal.  The capacitors will degrade.  Other manufacturer's 1000W PSUs will simply fail immediately.       --scryptr

I have no problem with that - warranty is 7 years long

my rig is on another location  so I'm just worried if it will blow up lol    

anyway I set these settings, and now load from wall fluctuates from 890W-950W


core 1125, 900
memory 2150, 900
drci 25

eth-130-142mhs   / dcr 3200-3600 mhs

The black line is the speed reported by claymore. Maybe it is not 10% but definitly is not as stable as asm1, this graphic is for two 6xrx480 rig under claymore dual eth+dcr

[Yerba]

I have some rigs running from 2013 year ( yeah, when LTC GPU mining kicked in ) and pretty nonstop - 7950 cards and with Antec 1200 PSUs - 1kw-1.1kw load. And still up and running..

A bit of a random post...

I thought you could mine Decred with this Claymore miner but then i read the documentation or the help screen, it seems to do it for you? although it says no, i dont think i understand

I have had an interest in this for a while now maybe 4-5 weeks and i recently just bought 1 card.

Is this certainly a good miner for Ethereum?

I am using this command:  (batch file test.bat
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

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal bitcoinaddy.lanky1 -mport 127.0.0.1:4001 -esm 3 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dbg -1

are those parameters or options correct ?

I am today still not sure which is a great pool to use for any altcoin?
Or is Ethereum fine?

When my miner runs it shows me 21 MH/s


Do versions of the Miner factor speed? and or Drivers... the help says use  15.3 or 16. something for the specified cards. Is there anything i need to know about AMD drivers and what not to download or not to install?


Thanks.

[vanhalendlrband]

May i ask a simple question?

What does it look like when i have mined a block in this software?

[alucard20724]

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal bitcoinaddy.lanky1 -mport 127.0.0.1:4001 -esm 3 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dbg -1

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal bitcoinaddy.lanky1 -mport 127.0.0.1:4001 -esm 3 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dbg -1 -estale 0 -dpool stratum+tcp://decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal bitcoinaddy.lanky1 -dcri 19

you need to add the bolded part to dual mine on nicehash.. read the Readme!!!.txt file that comes with the miner..

[kemo6600]

The main reason for fluctuations  for 9.0 vs 8.0 is low Dcri.
For my rx470 if i set dcri less than 23 for example i notice that the power graph provided by afterburner will fluctuate every few seconds , showing that GPU power is reduced for some reason , and it happens like a clock , if i increase dcri the problem disappear .

Claymore
Hello, Claymore. I want to ask / recommend one feature. Please make that the rigs are visible in the Remote manager even if they do not have a real IP (they are behind NAT) For example, as the easiest option is make Remote Manager to act as a server on the PC from which all RIGs are monitored and rigs Connected to it ...
Please )

Hello

I do not understand what to put in the command line for the DCR?

Do not put wallet address?

Login and pass the pool account?

i use claymore :

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0x242a8722fE288FCA7eF03b627D0C78799166C695/PC/bgs.mathieu59@gmail.com -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252  -dwal DskqH7NwywxaaYENnQt6kBz28aBzKUUdFjb.PC -dpsw x -allpools 1 -r 1 -dcri 30


command ok ?


DCR share rejected ................ Huh

RMx are with 10 years warranty! So don't worry, it will not blow or anything like that. 950w from the wall is not more than 850w on the PSU.
