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

[xeridea]

can i mine decred and sia only ... no eth .. if so can someone copy me the bat command for that

No, you can dual mine, or Eth only.  It is intended as a dual miner.  If you REALLY REALLY wanted to, you could set -ethi really low, and -dcri really high. Any reason for not wanting to dual mine?

i have nvidia cards isn't that good in eth really

Hi everybody.

I have 2 XFX reference 480 GPUs. When I run claymores miner, I get about 14 MHs on dual mining from each card. ( terrible I know, 16.7.X drivers, haaaalp)

After I turn off the miner, my GPU 1 will "stop mining" but my GPU 0 will keep running and displaying that it is under 100% load.

And then 9/10 times the AMD monitor will crash and I have to restart my computer to get the video card to stop running balls out.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

First download latest driver from amd.  Then Run ddu and remove all drivers.  Try setting them up again from scratch. I thought a week ago was claymore miner giving me fits but was indeed an issue with drivers.  Hope that helps.  I just snagged 2 480 one from sapphire and one from asus. I'll report back after sept 1 when they arrive.  Pd 209 for the asus and 239 for the sapphire:).  I'm happy with that.  Check out eBay for those of you looking. Newegg is selling them cheap on there atm. Sold out on new egg but not on their seller acnt on the bay.  

Edit I'm on 16.8.2 driver win 10 with rx470 running 6 days straight now. No issues.

Can you elaborate on the ddu? Not sure if that is an acronym I am supposed to know?

Thanks,

Guys, I'm almost done buying the following stuff:

Graphics Cards: 3x XFX Radeon RX 480 GTR OC 8GB - RX-480P8DFA6
Motherboard: GIGABYTE - Socket 775 - GA-EP35-DS3P
Riser: PCIe x1 to x16 Powered Extender (Over 1m USB 3.0 Cable) (USB 3.0 A with Molex)
PSU: Corsair CX750M 750W Watt Bronze Power Supply

Two out of three graphics will directly be connected with the motherboard (as there are 2 x16 PCI-e slots) and one will use the extender through x1 slot on the motherboard. Windows 10 x64 will be used as an OS.

Do you guys think that I'll be able to secure 85 Mh/s with this specification of the system using Claymore GPU miner? Someone here got any past experience with any of this stuff?

You can get ~24.8 per card, perhaps up to 27 if you OC the memory a lot.  So more like 75 stock.

I am having a problem with one of my rigs it is crashing all the time (sometimes I have to disconnect the power to all GPUs, uninstall the onboard graphics, and then connect the power to all cards again before rebooting the PC to get the PC to boot, and sometimes I even get THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER error message when trying to boot the PC), and I did find out that if I turn off GPU 5 it seems to work better and not crashing.
I am running in Windows 10 x64 with Sappire Radeon RX 480, and I did try different drivers without any luck. And I got the same clock settings on all cards (I am running 4 more RX480 on another machine and that one did not crash one single time in over 3 weeks) This is how the logfile looks right before the crash if I run with GPU 5 on...

What can be wrong, any advice?

Try not to push your GPU5 too hard... you must be running at 2250mhz

solutions for you:

1. Find out which one is GPU5
2. back to stock setting and slowly work your way up (2100 or 2125 mem is a good start.. )
2. Try ramp up the Fan speed (I saw your temp very high 85C)
3. Continue monitoring

You'd be better off using ccminer or something. You'll get better speeds and you won't be paying a 2% fee for a feature you're not using. Nvidia cards can do well with the right driver combo though, which card do you have?

Set temperature limit not more than 80:
I recommend you
-tt 75
 and
-ttdcr about 78
to check  if prevention of your cards overheating resolve your problem.
If it will be ok you can try little higher parameters, if not try another adjustement
-li -ethi etc (look OP for further details)

Yes, but prevent to click on miner output, because it freeze the mining (at least in my case - focus) and I don't know how to disable this xS

can i mine decred and sia only ... no eth .. if so can someone copy me the bat command for that

No, you can dual mine, or Eth only.  It is intended as a dual miner.  If you REALLY REALLY wanted to, you could set -ethi really low, and -dcri really high. Any reason for not wanting to dual mine?

i have nvidia cards isn't that good in eth really

the 1070 is very good instead, 1080 and 1060 i can agree they are trash

Hello, guys


I'm running test rig on MSI R9 390 overclocked to 1150/7000 PL+50, dual mining, temperature 80-81C. Every night(GMT +2) I see such picture at my stats page.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5kncr4fbeb7wj3/screen_2016-08-27_13-08-53_window.png?dl=0

Is it normal that a current effective hashrate is so unstable (jumps from 12 to 40+ MH/s)?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
Best regards

Is that poolside figure?

That is calculated on shares accepted (solved) per hour, which becomes inconsistent if you use "-dcri" at high settings - you need to use a lower -dcri  around 22 for SC.

And, perhaps lower your overclock to 1100mhz.

However, this all about your priorities - lower ETH efficiency versus higher Higher SC or Decred coin accumulation.

Hello,

How i set a max hashrate / mining  speed.

For example :

I want max 183 total speed for 6 r9 390x

How i do that?

Thanks

Solo mining Eth at a pool - simply follow the readme file.

Dualmining, depends whether you want to maximise ETH or you want more SC or Decred.

More Eth with AMD cards - set all cards to slow mode -etha 1,1,1,1,1,1,1

Set around -dcri 22 for SC or Decred- run for 24 hours and divide shares by 1440 minutes to find out your baseline average.

Then, experiment for yourself with SC and Decred settings!

More SC - Decred

Just try higher -dcri settings out to find what you happy with in terms of extra SC or Decred coin accumulation.

Overclocking - just google the web for the professional reviews on you specific model/manufacturers' GPUs overclock benchmark and use them as a guidelines.

For my AMD R9 390, the hash rate is faster if I set etha to 0. It is about 5% faster. I only mine ETH though.

[Bojcha]

v6.3 gives bit less hashrate on RX470 then 6.2beta.

[Claymore]

v6.3 gives bit less hashrate on RX470 then 6.2beta.

You are correct. Within 24 hours I will release an update that has same speed as 6.2b (actually it's bit faster because I made some minor improvements), also it has some speed improvements for nvidia 10xx cards in Windows 10 and temps/fans monitoring for nvidia cards.

Hello,

Thanks, i hace 6 of r9 390x, but in the night  the vat crash because the speed mining, more of 220 hash, this is cool for i  have 4x of r9 390x in a gold power supply of 1300 watts and i think that make crash my claymore bat. So, i need to keep my hash rate on 180 , i try -li command but it decrease so much my speed ( to 150 ) other way to keep my hash in 180 ( no more of 180 ) or orher way of reduce the power need?

Thanks
