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

[Claymore]

Claymore,
do you have any ideas how to overcome Polaris hashrate drop for epoch >129 ?
Genoil said that DAG now took 100% of first memory bank (2gb) and go to second memory bank, so access two banks instead of one leads significant hashrate drop.
Do you make any research in this direction, or it is hopeless? What you think, any comments?

I did not do any research yet, but I will do it very soon.

[cryptolelefla]

that will be ok!

Hi there,

i have small issue, but cant find ansswer in tons of replys and search did not help

I have two GPU, but miner seams to read only one temperature (im sure it is diferent). I even used -gmap 10  -di 01 as GPU 1 was not shown at first.



Also, how can i point miner to use diferent profiles of afterbuner in config file? I found somewhere that, but lost track of right code.

Can anyone help me, please? Im sure i saw option for loading msafterburner profiles somewhere but cant find it anymore.

Claymore - thanks for adding the new API to enable and disable individual GPU's. I've added support for that in Awesome Miner.
Would it also be possible to extend the API to include accepted / rejected shares per GPU? Thanks!

It will require some changes in Stratum implementation (in all supported versions) because I will have to use several IDs in share submit requests to identify GPU in server response. I would not like to change that code because it can break compatibility with some pools, I will do it but I need to do a lot of tests to check compatibility with all pools. No ETA for now though.

I have one question can I "split" the hashrate, what I'm trying to think/imagine is to mine with few GPUs to a eth wallet and with the rest of few other GPUs to mine to another address, is something like this possible?

anyone have same problem?
i found, sorry}

Make an exception for ethminer in the windows defender, I made exception for the whole folder and I'm satisfied.

Sorry if this is off-topic:
Also don't know where to ask about dual mining ethereum and siacoin what "dcri" value is the best one to get the maximum of the rig.

I've been mining Eth only for about a month now and wanted to setup dual mining for ZEC, but i'm unsure of if I have to use the claymore-zec or can I dual mine it with just adding the appropriate settings into my claymore-eth folder?

Hi all,

I started mining with Claymore a few days ago and I am seeing an upsetting thing.
My GPU is an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW, watercooled, MSI Afterburner reports a RAM frequency of 5000 MHz, which is fine... but when mining with Claymore, the RAM frequency automatically drops to 4500 MHz. If I stop mining and start a game, the frequency goes back to 5000 - the 4500 MHz behavior only appears when mining using Claymore.

I suspect the driver somehow knows I am using Claymore and taxes me for that.
If I boost RAM frequency by +1000, it goes up from 4500 to 5500 MHz and the hash speed goes from 20.5 MH to over 25 MH - 25% boost - but this solution is clumsy, because whenever I stop mining I have to dial back the frequency boost, otherwise as soon as the GPU encounters any regular load, it tries to boost from 5000 to 6000 MHz and the memory can't handle it.

What should I do to keep mining with Claymore, but at correct RAM frequencies?

Anyone?
Is the driver detecting Claymore and forcefully reducing memory speed?
Is there a workaround?

[rampage999]

"ADL: Cannot find any AMD adapters"

What is this problem? Saw in the log file

[ANewbieMiner]

Hey,
Right now I'm running 12 rigs under Claymore miner, and expanding.
8 rigs with 7x RX 470 GPUs.
2 rigs with 6x RX 470.
1 rig with 6x GForce GTX 1070.
1 rig with 4x 1070 and 1 1080 Ti.

I have some Qs.

2 for now:

1) My rigs with 470s just show fan and temp for GPU0. In remote manager it's the same.

2) the GPU hangs in OpenCL call error. For what reasons that may be? So I fix it. I got it a lot under Eth+Dcr. Now on only Eth it's far far better, but I still get it time to time.
@claymore

Thanks

I Got a similar problem with 1 of my RX470 rigs.
Try this and it might work:
Default the GPU via afterburner.
and then restart. Default it again. Remover after burner and any trace of it from your system. Restart. remove the driver via display driver remover in safe mode( run it, and it will recommend and offer reboot to safe mode itself). Install the latest driver. Install Afterburner. And see if the problem goes away.
I did something along these lines and my problem was fixed. I had 6 GPU locking on some ridiculous settings while the 7th being Okay, resulting in system crash minutes in under the Claymore.

The settings go in drivers and even registry some times...

Can anybody with a card which is not polaris (so no 460/70/80 no 560/570/580) run those 3 benchmarks?

-benchmark 130

then 140 and 150

I want to see the hashrate drop on non polaris card in the future.

If you are having a single card first (others may fail afterward but usually starts with the same card), check your riser.  specifically I would replace the cheap USB cable that comes with it along with the power adapter if you are using it.  That's where most of my failures have been from.  The other thing to check is to put a meter at the wall and see what your total draw is and make sure you are not maxing out your power supply.

Remote manager reporting lost on my remote rig. It is mining just fine but it stopped communicating with it.  Any idea why?

Known bug since EthMan 3.0,  debug version EthMan 3.2 still have this bug.
Claymore cant reproduce it, so cant fix it.

Do you have this bug for this version? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg19552825#msg19552825
Currently I've got zero feedback for this version. I need someone that can confirm that he can reproduce this bug in this version.

I've wrote feedback on page 601.

The issue remains. Rig have restarted about half an hour ago, but EthMan shows that it stays offline. Choosing "view miner console" opens page with working rig.
I have static local ip on miner, so I think, the problem is not in dns

Ok, then here is new debug version: https://mega.nz/#!H8IgwToD!rJ2gWczg7I7TRewI5V81U7jSxDhaWkOAMpXhfnSAODY
Start it, wait until bug is appeared, confirm that rig can be accessed via "View console" command and send me (via PM) "debug.log" file that is created in EthMan's folder. Please use dropbox, mega or google to store the file if possible.

done, look in PM

On 280x now 12.5 on 130-12.5 on 150 - 11.66 on 160 -11.12
on 290 there is no difference all is the same
on 470 28.5 - 28.4-23.8-21.5
So go for 290 and 390 if you don`t want a dag problem!

hawaii (290 or 390) will also have DAG problem but later - after epoch 200.
nVidia Pascal doesn't have this problem

[cryptolelefla]

In my tries seems there is no difference between 4 gb and 8 gb  rx 470. both have significant hash drop in the future dag epoch

HI,

i just started trying mining. I found a YT Video and he recommended this:


EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal ETHADRESS/miner1 -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool http://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:9980/miner/header?address=SIAADRESS -dcoin sia -dcri 16 -mport -3333


I Changed the ETH and the SIA Adresses. ETH work but SIA doesnt.
I this right or should i change something?
I use dwarfpool and tryied before instead of SIA with LBRY (with LBRY it has worked).


EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal ETHADRESS/miner1 -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333 -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -dwal NAME.WORKER -dpsw x -dcoin lbc


Today i cut out the  "16 -mport -3333" because in this Guide here there are not.


Hope someone could help me.
