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

[chup]

Hello every one,

I have an odd behavior from dual mining

W10 pro
claymore 9.3
4xRX470 with 1500 straps

if I mine ETh only, everything is normal, after memory overclock, I'm 29Mh/s.
The probleme is, if I dual mine (DCR or SIA), my ETH hashrate is going super low. The only way to not loose too much hashrate is to choose DCRI 1 or 2 but in this case, it's almoste useless to dualmine.
And my memory overclock boosted the hashrate well in single mining but not in dual mining. +100 Mhz on memory? same result in dual mod, +10% in single mode.

I can see the monitoring showing that the GPU is almost always below 1 000 Mhz, even at super low dcri, at 10 dcri, it stays around 850 Mhz in dual ETH SIA.
In ETH only mode, it is higher than 1100Mhz. My GPU are even hotter in single mining than dual!!!

It was the same thing at stock clock/bios. When I was just testing, I lost 30% of my ETH hashrate when I tried dualmining on DCR (using the super basics configs that was as exemples in the readme.txt, I even didn't change the wallet adressses...)

I do use the GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0 and others.

Does someone have an idea?

thx folks

-powlim is the switch for Your dualmining success.
Of course You should have some power supply reserve to increase power limit at values of 20, 30 or more. Try first with values like 5 and see if it improves the speed. Increase in steps of 5, but when You reach 20 and need more, first check do You have to change max power limit value in Your GPU BIOS.

Thank you a lot, it works!!!

with -powlimit 20 I lose only 1% ETH hashrate and have 280Mh/s SIA. I'll try with higher limits.

Have a nice day sir

Hello, I have a rig whit 4 rx480 and 1 r9 390x ... what is the best amd driver for this rig? I have a problem whit amd driver afther 24 hours of mining rx480 error code 43 on win10 64bit ... why? Thanks for help me

[qqqq]

After almost 14 days in solo with 650 mh\s block fas found. Ver 9.3 is ok. Confirmed.

Gongrats! Wow, that is very Long for 650 hm/s or?
Ob what for a Pool do you Mine...

Yeah, looks like a bad luck.

The pool that called my wallet ))))

Hi Claymore

could you give a hint on how to read value given by API {"method":"miner_getfile", "params":["config.txt"]}
It's either encrypted or encoded

i believe 16.9 or 16.11 are the favorites for rx 4xx and r9 3xx series.

turn driver updates OFF in win10.

Yeah just one of my cards can't take v4 for whatever reason and I verified it stand-alone being the only card in the system, fan %100 and
no volt drop to eliminate heat and lack of power as a cause - still fails. It takes the other bios just fine. (Lower quality RAM? Who knows.)

One of my card is bad too, i tried to use v4drop, but it hangs anyway.
So i use v4 for that card too, but have to lower the Mhz to 1950   to make it work. Its the only card which gives only 27mh/s...
I think its some really bad RAM...

Does anyone have a solution to the first GPU1 not working?  I have swapped out GPUs, but GPU1 never works.  I have reduced to 5 GPUs, 4GPUs...but still GPU1 does not start.

Check WattTool and see if the core clock dropped. If so, hit the set on the core clock table and it should jump back.

I tried it but, the core clock was not low.  Any Other Solutions/Experiences?

Mow many shares should 190Mh/s get in 60 mins?

With 155 MHs I get about 120-140 an hour.

Hi,
latest (2017) radeon drives does not support modified vbios cards.
either use 16.11.3 version (no need)
or
uninstall driver with DDU, reboot
and then install latest relive driver 17.5.2, DON'T REBOOT
Download this atikmdag-patcher-1.4.5 (GOOGLE IT)
Run, it'll ask patch, choose YES.
Now reboot, enjoy code-43 free mining.

So I just built another rig. Same as all the others. Windows 10, Claymore 9.3 etc...
Except on this build Claymore will not run! It starts, id's cards, gets to something about OpenCL and stops. No errors. Just ends.

HERES THE KICKER!

If I use NiceHash miner Claymore works just fine!

WTH?

So Claymore 3rd party app thru NH miner works fantastic.

Claymore stand-a-lone fails every time. Even if I try to run it from the NH directory as a stand-a-lone it fails

What the heck is up lol.

Did I forget some .net thing? Don't think so but I must of missed something somewhere.

Thanks for any help

You know, you can easily check logs right?
something like: 1495552799_log.txt
just open with notepad and check what does it say, perhaps copy/paste here.

[OverEasy]

I did enable logging and logs show nothing. No errors. Program just plain stops running when executed by itself.
Here is log from 10 seconds ago I just tried it again -

it seems nothing wrong, no idea why it does exit?
perhaps add
@pause

end of Start.bat or whatever you're using to start claymore, so perhaps you can see reason of crash on screen instead of logfile.

Hey can anyone help me. Im new to mining ETH and I have tried with claymore (the latest) and genoil miner. I have a 280x at 1070MHz and whatever I do I can't get it over 13.58 MH/s. What am I doing wrong??? My system is win8.1 x64, amd crymson 15.12, 16 GB ram and an AMD 8350. Here are the settings in the .bat file of the genoil. I have no clue what is what but please help me understand what's going on. I think i should be getting closer to 20 MH/s? The gpu is sitting below 60 C at all times, although whatever i do in crimson's overdrive i cannot change the clock speeds of anything, only the fan speed.......

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

To be honest, if you have the 280x, it is much profitable to mine the ZEC.

Is there any way to have claymore dual ignore the intergrated grapics (a10 with intergrated r7 gpu)

I want to use the intergrated as a display and not mine with it, and only mine with the 4x rx 470s I have in there. I no other miners have options to disable mining of certain gpus.. any help would be grouse

Can you try the -di?

[Claymore]

Hi Claymore

could you give a hint on how to read value given by API {"method":"miner_getfile", "params":["config.txt"]}
It's either encrypted or encoded

Simple hex-encoded, for example, string data "3031" means two bytes: 48 and 49.

Just tried that. Same results. Nothing logged or on screen.
A real mystery.
