Any help about -dcri set for RX470 Nitro+ OC (Samsung, Elpida, Hynix) 4GB and 8GB?

i have a rx 470 nitro 8gb i set my -dcri to around 30 was unstable at higher values for me could be different for you though

Hi,

after flash bios on asus rx 470 and some other graphics, windows doesn't see card correctly.
http://screenshot.sh/ofmi3PZzX04Ed

there is a msg "No NVIDIA CUDA GPUs detected."

linux works fine with this bios.

any idea, how to fix this?

Thanks.

need more info. what exactly did you do.

Hey guys, sorry for a stupid question but i'm pretty new to mining so i can't really understand a couple of things. Can you tell me the ups and downs of dual mining? Is it better than solo mining? Hows gpus serving time? is it shorter if you're dual mining? Huge thanks

UP: more money
DOWN: more power, more heat, more noise

Dual is better if you are after money, for anything else is worth.

you can see yourself - https://whattomine.com/merged_coins/1-eth-dcr - add your parameters here and see how much you will earn with DCR and without

After installing the creator update for Windows 10, i get the message “ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working“. In the details it's called “bex64“ error. Anybody out there with similar problems or ideas how to solve this? The regular ethminer.exe is still working. Sgminer is also working as usual.
Any hints are appreciated!

i wish i could help you im getting this since the update.
gpu1, gpuminer cu_k00 failed 4, unspecified launch failure
gpu1, gpuminer kx failed 1

i found a reference to launch failure in this thread but it wasn't explained or a work around fix shared

3 x gtx 1070 was working fine before windows update
checked virtual memory, psu and risers only seems to happen on multi card setups

thanks to anyone that can help or explain

i didn't install the creators update it was just the new windows 10 update. version 1607    14393.1066
i tried restore point but it did not work reinstalled drivers etc  seems to  happen every half an hour
gpu1, gpuminer cu_k00 failed 4, unspecified launch failure
gpu1, gpuminer kx failed 1
overclocking does effect how often it happens as well

miner then restarts and works fine until it happens again.

I know this isn't very helpful if you already have a system running Windows 10 but honestly - from all the stuff I have read all over these and other forums, and from my own experience and that of a few of my friends.... Windows 10 is just a minefield of problems as a platform for a mining rig.

I believe that if you must use Windows (Linux is the best solution if you can understand it and use it properly) then Windows 8.1 seems to be the best option. It has almost all of the modern features that Win10 has, but none (or much less) of the annoying forced updates and inbuilt data mining/surveillance crap. The amount of things that Windows 10 does in the background or at random times which consume large amounts of system resources - without your control annoys the crap out of me. Not to mention how often I come home and my Windows 10 machine (a mostly non mining gaming & htpc machine) has just rebooted itself after an update without asking me or warning me. That is not a reliable and stable OS - it's a social media and entertainment platform on the surface and a data mining and "advertizing customer collector" underneath. Fuck Windows 10.

I recently built a new rig based on Nvidia cards (1070 and 2 1060s) and I am very glad I still had the ability to install Win8.1 on to this rig. The only reason I used Windows at all was because I don't really know anything about using Nvidia GPUs for mining in Linux. My other rig is Linux based with AMD GPUs and is so stable I almost never even have to look at it - it "just works".

yeah i know i thought i had updates turned off my rig was running beautifully for two weeks straight went to give it a rest for an hour and play a game then i see were getting things ready for you nooooooooooooo
i will figure something out eventually
but still can anyone tell what this actually means is it power related or memory related or other

How so I access my coins as they mine? Sorry I'm new to mining and this looks great for me to get started with. Can I just change the address to one of my own in the edit section?

Hi All, I'm so tiered of reading so I'm jumping to the end to just give my 2cents,

I have learned a lot from a few posts and this is my input if there are still guy's with issues on dropping hashes,

Mining ETH+DCR ( ETH = 60.6 MH/s ) ( DCR = 1757.xx MH/s )
Equipment = 2 x Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ OC Dual UIFE Bios ( YES!!! Modded )
Afterburner V4.3.0
Claymore V9

What I have done is setup the batch file as I mine on Nicehash, yes I might do better on other but I like to get paid in BTC rather than to exchange it later and pay more transfer fees etc etc.

Batch file is as follow.

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 -dcri 29 -epool daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal BTC-ADDRESS.Worker -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dbg -1 -dpool decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal BTC-ADDRESS.Worker -dpsw x -asm 1
pause

So I have had the same issue with fluctuating hash rate eth 30.5 MH/s to 23 MH/s but as I have read through the posts I have tried using -dcri and by slowly increasing and decreasing as you monitor on the scope of afterburner to find the smoothest line on your wattage usage, "I could get it better but than I loos some of my hashes on ETH",  I got to -dcri 29 and that was the best setting for my setup.. the only thing I just cant seam to understand is that one of my cards use more power than the other 7 to 8 watt more.

well here is a picture of my stats , the drop you see in the pic is a new DAG that got read.

Dual is better if you are after money, for anything else is worth.

you can see yourself - https://whattomine.com/merged_coins/1-eth-dcr - add your parameters here and see how much you will earn with DCR and without

Cheers can someone paste their start.bat info for eth dcr? I'll mine all night for them:D When i start the miner it just crashes i think something is wrong with the info in the file. Thanks guys again.

what are you mining on nvidia or amd

Hey guys, why am i getting devfee cannot connect and retry in 20 seconds red error message? It gets hung up and keeps doing this over and over. I did not disable devfee or anything...I'm mining at ethermine

Hey, just above your last post is mine, copy that into a txt file and after done save as start.bat make sure you select file type all files. then copy and past your BTC address in where it's needed , you do not need to add a worker, this will give mining on NICEHASH the thing is you need to keep going atleast until you have enough fro them to payout, not sure the amount.

I get this kind of message, i cant believe that its because there is only 1 gpu of 8gb and requirments are 16gb because  i was mining earlier on other pc with 1 card aswell. http://imgur.com/a/08vKG

you need to add more virtual memory..

check here

hope it will help you.

[mike34]

Rx480 amd

also if you are not running older versions of amd drivers and you are on windows 10 you might want to download these opencl.dll from here and put into miner folder this worked for me http://cryptomining-blog.com/4519-getting-the-optimum-mining-performance-on-amd-gpus/

and also do what the guy above me said increase virtual memory.

i also dont use any of the setx settings

Now I'm even getting this message for my own mining...been going smooth for a week. Turned of miner to install new cpu fan...now I get this......anyone?

Great work on 9.0.  I'm seeing a huge increase on DCR on my 6x470 rigs.  I am running a custom bios that I spent way too much time tweaking each card.  All cards are under-volted  as far as possible while stable and all clock speeds are 1200mhz.  The memory speeds vary from 2050 (XFX) to 2250 (Nitro).

This is a mixed XFX / Sapphire Nitro rig. (I am taking a slight hit on ETH -- Typically the Nitro's would do 31.5)

ETH - Total Speed: 183.264 Mh/s
ETH: GPU0 29.844 Mh/s, GPU1 31.292 Mh/s, GPU2 29.830 Mh/s, GPU3 31.280 Mh/s, GPU4 29.729 Mh/s, GPU5 31.288 Mh/s

DCR - Total Speed: 4398.327 Mh/s
DCR: GPU0 716.261 Mh/s, GPU1 751.004 Mh/s, GPU2 715.930 Mh/s, GPU3 750.717 Mh/s, GPU4 713.499 Mh/s, GPU5 750.916 Mh/s

This is a Sapphire "reference/blower" rig

ETH - Total Speed: 183.334 Mh/s
ETH: GPU0 30.412 Mh/s, GPU1 30.741 Mh/s, GPU2 30.406 Mh/s, GPU3 30.639 Mh/s, GPU4 30.746 Mh/s, GPU5 30.391 Mh/s

DCR - Total Speed: 4400.002 Mh/s
DCR: GPU0 729.878 Mh/s, GPU1 737.777 Mh/s, GPU2 729.732 Mh/s, GPU3 735.333 Mh/s, GPU4 737.894 Mh/s, GPU5 729.388 Mh/s

Both of these examples would do 380-420 DCR at a higher drci level on 8.1 -- I did have to bump my power level (afterburner) 5-8% to keep the clocks steady (1200mhz).  Due to heat and power usage I will probably be at 4000 Mh/s when I'm done testing and tuning.


I don't know exactly what was done to achieve such great results -- but if something similar happened to Nvidia cards -- that would be exciting.

Maybe it's the pool, maybe you both are on the same pool..

thanks for all the help guys, well for now its the same problem ill try to continue tomorrow pretty tierd allready. goodnight and thx again;]

Der Friend

you can help me ?

im have one Rig with sapphire RX 470 4 GB
And another Rig with Sapphire Nitro RX480 4GB

How you reach these speeds???

What values you put in polarios to your modded bios?
and what values you change in sapphre trixx?

obs : im only get 1900 (rx470) and 2150(rx480 nitro)

Thanks
