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

[Maticul]

how is the mhs for the RX 480 when overclocked and modded the bios?

That will be around 30MH/s.

Is this normal? the fluctuantions?

Is this normal? the fluctuantions?

Similar to my results. It is because effective hash rate is based on how many shares per hour you send. Shares are luck based. Sometimes you find more and your effective hash rate will be higher than actual hash rate, and sometimes you will find less and your effective hash rate will show slower than your actual hash rate. Perfectly normal. All you really need to care about is that average hash rate on pool approximates your reported hash rate over the long term.

@jackbox my problem is that i feel im loosing a complete GPU with those numbers, Claymore reports me 170 MHs but the pool 147 MHs,, as i say i feel im loosing one of my 6 GPUs

For my pool, I also just get about 151/162 = 93% of the hash rate reported by the pool.

I was waiting for this video to come out.  Great presentation on the new RX5xx Series GPUs.

Claymore,

I am still getting this issue. Can't mine with any 280X anymore because the dev EXP pool seems to have issues.

For my pool, I also just get about 151/162 = 93% of the hash rate reported by the pool.

Claymore fee 2%, Pool fee 1% makes a total of 3% lost right away. 170-3%=164

1. What is average ping response to your pool? ping poolipaddress -t
2. What is your internet connection bandwidth?
3. How many times per day your miner restarts?

Let us assume:
1. <100ms=you are fine. 100>x<300=1% lost.   300>x - can loose a lot
2. 20Mbs<x=you are fine. 20>x>10=1% lost.    10Mbs>x - can loose a lot
3. 3 times=1% lost

Could be 5%+ lost easily just on your side.
Also Claymore miner may not calculate hash rate accurately,  pool could have issues on their side...

I just wanted to quote you since there is no option to give a THUMBS UP for a sensible technical post helping fellow miner understand the reason behind his issue. Kudos. Keep up the good work

I have 5x rx480's and cant seem to get past 27ish on 4 of them and one is locked at 24. The 4 that are at 27 have 2175  memory clock w/ core clock at 1100 and the 5 is 1100/1750 ... so the question is- how can I modify them? Every time i try they revert back and dont want to budge.

Hi. I am having problems with some of my cards crashing when I try to overclock their memory. They sometimes go for a few minutes but then usually a card crashes and and the miner restarts as in the picture. I am using several different types of Polaris cards. 4 rx 480 and 2 rx 470. I am using crimson 16.9.1. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Lower the memory overclock on GPU 4 you can find it by pressing 4 ing the miner to disable the GPU from mining then use msi to lower the mem by 50 MHz

Connect display using port on GPU to overclock then switch to VGA mode if possible. When you get your display back, start the miner. Use HDMI or DP port only to overclock and connect display to VGA. I faced same issue

[winiu]

I have the same issue as Coyn on 2x RX480, since upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1: Siacoin mining speed doubles, but Ethereum mining speed is very unstable and often drops. The cards do not appear to be throttling, temperatur is normal and there is sufficient power.

Adjusting dcri does not help, even with low numbers Ethereum mining speed is unstable. Currently I use -asm 0 to fix it, but of course that causes much lower Siacoin mining speed.

I have exacly the same problem on RX480 and RX470.
9.0 or -asm was much more stable.

[nevermind41]

Greetings,  Claymore.
There is a suggestion - can you add to the dual-miner function - delayed launch of the second coin's mining? Preferably with a range of 0 - 60 sec.
Sometimes there are bugs (the dumping of video cards, a reset on power) at the start, there is an idea that this can happen because the second coin begins to dig before the dag is formed and the ether mining will start ...
 

Miner cannot mine second coin if DAG is not yet generated. Probably the reason is the power consumption in dual mode, check PSU and cables.

@Claymore
 Can you add to your miner releases recommended drivers for rx 4xx cards?

Same problem here.. I've got a rig with 6 RX480s in it and no matter what dcri or asm setting I use, I can't get a decent ETH speed while dual mining.  Stock BIOS.  Mining ETH alone, I get 30.5 to 31MHS.  If I dual mine with PASC, the highest I can get ETH is 25MHS.  Can someone that is successfully getting full speed from ETH and PASL post their bat/config file?

Solo mining ethereum using claymores v9.0 with: a b250f strix mobo and 1200w psu, 4gb RAM, 5 rx480's (I have 6 but apparently b250 chipset dosent allow 6 even though there are 6 pcie slots). In MSI, GPU's 0 through 3 are all synchronized at 1100 core/2176 memory and any I time I try to change theses values, even with small increments the GPU's stop and I have to restart PC. Same thing goes for GPU4 except, GPU4 is clocked at 1266/1750, any modifications results in the same thing and I have to restart only to come back to their reverted values. When I first had 2 GPU's I could get 29/30 no problem while over clocking in MSI but now GPU's 0-3 are stuck at 27ish and GPU 4 at 22-24ish mhz. My config is as follows:

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 eu1.ethermine.org:14444 -ewal <address> -epsw x -r 34

The restart timer is just an arbitrary value I play around with. In BIOS all I changed was PCIEXx16_2 configuration from auto to x2 (before this only 3 GPUS would catch in device manager), System agent configuration to Above 4D Decoding [Enabled] and changing the primary Display to CPU graphics. I have the 17.4.2 drivers installed for AMD and the latest/most up to date BIOS.
