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

[Andrey123]

Guys help!
There are four Sapphire AMD RX480 8 GB cards, how to set up this miner for mining?
I can not understand anything (

And they say you can not dig two coins at the same time, because the cards will be very hot.

F2pool worker problem..

code :EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:8008 -ewal 0xC31Cb337d4CA2461A5eee30Ccb57c28E628AAE78 -epsw x

help me plsssss

Not added site does not see worker..
  help me pls helop me

Try other pool.
Also, is your address correct?


Write this on you batch file:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100

MSI RX + Hynix ram = 5 weeks and counting RMA for me. MSI sucks balls.

yup. been 3 like weeks for my msi hynix 470 gaming x rma so far..

yup. been 3 like weeks for my msi hynix 470 gaming x rma so far..

They just told me yesterday via email that they can't replace/fix their defective cards; they've offered $102.50 per defective card for the cards I paid $350 for .

I told them to go fuck themselves and ship me some working cards, no response as of yet.

[vapourminer]

I just wanna know what is causing this OpenCL hangs. If it is something recoverable, than ok, if it's not, than sell it is the way. But what about when the new card will do the same? Again, I need to know the reason for theese hangs.

if its always the same card make sure you have it on the original vbios and run stock clocks. if its on a riser change the riser. inspect the pcie power connectors, they may be loose or otherwise not delivering power reliably. reseat the card in the slot/riser. set the fans on that card to max.

damn. well that is the suck.

kinda surprised they dont offer a 570 or something from nvidia.

now im cringing to see what happens to mine..

Yeah I can't understand why they don't sent me a 570/580 armor or whatever refurbished 480. The cards must cost them less than $100 to manufacture yet they seem to be trying to screw me and it's costing them extra to do it?

[sundownz]

what is now best for ETH, RX480 is sold out, RX570 or RX580 ??
I need 24-25pcs of cards for 4 new rigs.

Which PSU is best for 6x rig with AMD RX5xx series, MB will be Biostar TB85.

thnx for help

Buy just 1 RX5xx first.  Make sure that you are happy with these.  I have found that they are MUCH LESS EFFICIENT that the previous RX4xx Series!  Do this before you buy 24-25pcs of cards.  

As far as the PSU, EVGA is always a good choice with a little higher price.  This is my favorite on Amazon:
Rosewill Quark Series 1200 Watt Full Modular 80 Plus Platinum Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 1200 Power Supply Quark 1200

Less efficient when underclocked to the same same clock/voltage?  I could swear I saw reviews online testing both @ 900mhz and the 5XX had >20w less power usage.

I have a system with 2x RX480 and 1x RX580 -- adding the 580 when I under-clock the core and reduce voltages added the same wattage draw as adding a 480 (all cards have exact same settings). So it does seem that efficiency can be the same when adjusted the same.

Hey everybody !

After countless hours of research, and obviously reading a lot about AMD cards Ether mining crown, I decided to do full Nvidia for a first 6xGPUs dedicated rig. I figured out that even if the hashrate is a bit lower than with RX 4XX cards on ETH, it also offers more possibilities on other cryptos. We don't want to forget that ETH is announced to go POS since last year. Plus, on the power consumption side, no battle here, Nvidia holds the 1st place by far.

I read as much as I could of this very thread, and checked the results on whattomine.com, but I'm still wondering what hashrates Nvidia users actually get in the real world, out of the theoritical field.

I'm already mining ETH+LBC with 2 GTX970 [41MHs/64MHs], for it happened to be the most valuable combo so far, but I doubt these results are accurate for a proper upgrade to GTX1070.

I also would like to ask what GTX1070 brand/model you're using, and eventually why. I'm looking for a good average between performance and longevity. With proper maintenance, I plan to get these working for at least 2 years time [Reboot and dust-off every week + full cleaning and basic maintenance every other month + full check and fan greasing twice a year]

I decided to buy GTX1070, but I've got a very nice opportunity for an EVGA GTX1080 SC, and was wondering as well, if people had performance feedback about this very GPU. As far as I can read, it seemed like 1080 weren't doing very good, and looked like it was because of a lack of optimisation [on top of the DDR5x issue]. Do you know if this has been fixed, or it will just be uncompatible at all ?

Cheers !

Try some high end R9's like the nano on a low epoch ETH alt like EXP.

Nah, sorry, already made my mind up, and they won't be cheap R9's, but like I said, GTX1070.

So besides that useful reply, anyone using Nvidia rigs ?

[unsoindovo]

hi all!!!

i have rx 470 nitro+ 4GB Elpida memory....
any tip to get a good starting point for undervolt??
i think 1100 GPU and 2000 MEM and 0,95V CORE/MEM...

-cclock 1100 -cvddc 950 -mclock 2000

any suggestion will be appreciated...

Nvidia gpu are good for mining ZEC, not so good for ETH.

Well, that might have been the case, like a year ago, but if you look at whattomine.com calculators, you'll easily figure out that :

+ GTX1070 GPUs ETH hashrates are close to RX480's
+ GTX1070 have a way better span of possibilities, with way better results
+ GTX1070 use like 30% less power for similar results

Just setup my first mining rig and attempting to use Claymores miner,

The following happens (along with the config file). No error. No jobs, just sits there...

Anyone able to help?

[honorbtc]

Hello,
I have a problem, I hope one of you can help me figure out what is not working :

Everything worked fine for more than a week, but last night my mining rig restarted after windows update (forgot to manually set metered connection), and now the miner crash on start (it shows 3072 MB available on my GPU instead of 8 gb, the just crash)

I have :
Windows 10
driver 16.9.2
RX 470 MSI ARMOR OC 8gb (modded bios, only straps)
280X Sapphire 3gb with dummy plug

I use the 470 with Claymore's eth 9.3, and the 280x with Claymore's Zcash miner. ( -di 0)
The 280x is working fine with both miner. (-di 1)

The 470 isn't working on either miner.

BUT, the 470 works on miners if I unplug the 280x.

I tried to reinstall the drivers, reinstall MSI Afterburner, no change.
Any idea? thanks

Hey, well just try the following, I'm not saying it's going to work.

Remove the stratum+tcp://
only have the yiimp..... in the line.

Hope it helps, I have done this some time ago and it worked for me..

Hi All. I am a newbie and have been mining for about 3 weeks. I'm using Claymore v9.3 on Windows 10 64 Bit. My issue is that if I put any sort of stress on the machine at all, It crashes. And it is consistently "GPU 3 hangs in opencl" that causes the crash. What I mean by stress is if I try to dual mine anything, increase the difficulty setting, or overclock the GPU's.

I have 6 XFX RX 480 8gb Black Edition cards. I have modded the BIOS on all 6 cards copying the 1750 timing strap to the 2000. I am using the Crimson 16.12.2 video drivers. The most stable setup I have is when the difficulty is set to 8 on cards 0,1,2,4,5 and 7 on card 3. Using MSI Afterburner I set the voltage to 0, the core clock to 1,100 and the memory clock at 2,000. The fans on all 6 cards is set to 85%.

With all the above settings I am getting aproximately 27.7 mh/s from each card and a total of 166 mh/s. It takes approximately 14 hours to mine .1 ether using ethermine.

I would really like to dual mine and/or get my cards up to 30 mh/s but like I said, anything I try causes GPU3 to hang and restarts the machine.

As for the rig, It is open air with a HP 1200 watt power supply for the six cards and a Thermaltake 850 watt power supply for the mother board and PCI Risers. Riser 1 and 2 are powered by daisy chain 6 pin cable, as are risers 3 and 4. (2 cables, 2 plugs each). Risers 5 and 6 are powered by 6 pin to SATA adapters connected to a SATA daisy chain cable.

Any theories why I can't push this setup any further?

Thank you for reading.

Thanks, but I've tried that all already. Temps 59C does not need max fan rpm. I think it is something driver related. I use 16.11.5 beta for all mu 470/480s. Today this card was not listed on device manager as driver loaded, strange, after of 12 hours of mining

Did you set virtual memory in Windows to a minimum of 16GB? It is a must for using more than one GPU on a system. Mine is set to 24GB. Does it also crash in dual mining if you lower the memory clock? If the bios is modded sometimes pushing them too hard causes havoc. Try mining at 1880 memory clock setting with dual mining and slowly go up from there and find where it is stable.

Hello.

Question to creator.

Is there any possibility to make each gpu in multi gpu system run own copy of miner?
Example: 5 gpu rig runs 5 copys of miner, so pool will see 5 workers.

1070 use 10% less power than 480
1070 is much more capable but need miners ( devs)
