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

[Vann]

question for you all.


I have 2 cards, one can only have memory clock of 1900 and other can reach 2050, but no matter how I put the command mmclock 1900,2050 sometimes the order of gpus change and it crashes or sometimes the second card don´t receive the parameters of memory clock core clock and etc.

Any idea people?

I set the core/memory clocks with Afterburner. Setting the clocks with Claymore is very unstable and unpredictable for me as well.

Noob question. It keeps connecting and disconnecting every 20 secs. New miner here, is there something i missed?

Edit: Sorry, seems it was working...i downloaded the wrong file before...thus couldnt get it to work.

[Janis2017]

Wery risky to use it i had in begining high temperetures and one time blu srean freeze, and now whit latest amd driver cubics freezes whit opened lots off new tabs in chrome.
i hawe rx 460 4gb gigabyte
And i still dont now what pools are best for me and walets.

Hi everyone! ETHMan report wrong fanspeed, anyone have same problem?

[NoOneLt]

1060/1070 prices gone crazy in my country, LOL ETH skyrocket... BTC drops.. My pool went from 7 to 10 TH/s in few days..

What do you think about 570/4GB, will it still be worth it when they restock, if they...? Amazon only shows preorder on all RXses..

I have a really weird problem here.

My rigs (2 with 4  RX 470 each) were working fine for 5 days. I stopped them for 10 minutes just for maintenance; was getting really hot in the room.
After i started them 1 GPU in each rig shows a 80% drop in hashrate.

What just happened?

In essence 2 RX 470 dropped from 24 to 4.2 MH/s.

Anyone has encountered same issue? Also after 5 hours of operations, they freeze.

many thanx in advance for any tip

Forgot to add that it is only with ETH that i have this issue. When i use Claymore for zcash, all cards working fine

Hey guys, im only getting 12.6 mh/s with an r9 280x, it should be 20+... how can i ensure that the miner is using the crimson 15.12 that i installed? virtual memory is set to 16gb. mining ethereum only, with recommended initial settings.

FEATURE REQUEST:  Please add a simple way to silence the alarm on Ethman.   Thanks!

WRONG - you're reading SUPER-outdated info. As I said earlier in the thread - GCN 1 devices suffer as the DAG increases in size... even though it can fit the whole DAG in its memory, due to the memory controller having issues with shit that big, I think. Your hashrate is as expected.... and it's only gonna get worse.

That is actually starting to scare me. I've got a bunch of 4GB RX 570 cards, how long do you reckon until the size of the DAG starts impacting me?

thanks, so what other cards would be susceptible to the same fate? other radeon 2xx series? 3xx?

i guess i might as well keep it running for now, though.

...this is really REALLY getting old. You could seriously have googled the words "ETH mining 4GB" and got your answer. 4GB will supposedly become an issue in 2019, but supposedly eth will go POS before that. If you have no idea what that means, you could google "eth pos".

Sooooo was Claymore hacked last night (UK time)? Connection dropped on mine and my housemate's rigs for about 15 mins, we were getting the failed to connect, retrying after 20s error. Since then, for the past 8 hours, my Ether balance has not increased.

CLAYMORE GOT HACKED CONFIRMED! Nice first post!

Actually, googling the words "ETH mining 4GB" does not give a decent answer, smartass.
I was just chiming into the discussion. You on the other hand seem to be trolling quite a bit, looking at your last few posts.

you're right, I didn't spoonfeed it. Sorry. If calling people out for their inability to google is trolling, then you got me.

Is there option to disable Nvidia fan/temperature (NVML) monitoring?
Due high memory OC it makes me a problem and miner restarts more then it should with recent versions

Claymore is hacked by tons of newbies. Attacked by them in PM too. Maybe I need to create another FAQ for newbies, but most of them will not read it.
Just some quick answers to recent questions:

1. If you think that the miner will mine even if you turn off the router, wait a couple of minutes more, it will stop.
2. Place all command line arguments in .BAT file in a single line. Arguments from the second line will be ignored.
3. Use latest version if you have problems with DCR or SIA.
4. I don't have any private versions with +50% speed.
5. I'm a software developer, so I think I cannot help you to build your mining rig properly or provide you with the list of necessary parts, please ask this question here on forum or search here, there are many threads related to hardware.
6. Please read Readme.txt or original post of this thread for command line samples, options description and FAQ.
7. I don't have miners for Tesla, IBM CPUs, Phi or for very old GPUs.
8. Mining on laptops is a bad idea.
9. You will not see full hashrate on pool immediately, you have to wait for 24 hours at least.
10. If miner cannot generate DAG file, check environment variables (see Readme), check if your GPU has 3GB memory at least, and check if you have enough virtual memory (pagefile). If all this does not help, try to install more physical RAM.

And sometimes I see really interesting messages. Recently I got PM from a newbie account, he found the issue with Pascal nonces from the log file. I was impressed.

Claymore, have you got any idea of what might be impacting memory controller load? One of my cards has load going up and down wildly (all the other 13 are fine at 100%). I've tried raising/lowering voltage, memory voltage, tdp, everything. I've even tried tweaking -dcri but it actually did not change anything. Ironically it's my card with the highest asic (90.5). I'm out of ideas...

Is it Polaris card? I still see strange memory load fluctuations in dual mode, mostly on Polaris cards, it is something related to hardware, but currently I have no ideas what exactly.

[dragonmike]

Yeah, RX 570 (elpida ram), mining ETH+Sia.
One card does it, the other ones seem fine. Just plain weird.

@OP keep up the good work you have zero competition, anybody who gripes about the 2% can use other software and make 20% less.
