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

[preda]

Hi sorry im new to dual mining.

I just ran my single 1080ti on Eth + LBry and the eth does well about 37 MH (which is my normal Hashrate) but the LBry is really low like only 34 MH.. is this normal for performance to be this low? I normally get 513MH when mining just LBRY. Also, the card doesnt seem like it's running at full potential its only running at like 64 C which is nice, but i feel like a lot more LBRY should be squized out of it.

Any ideas or suggestions? could it be my version of windows (enterprise) or maybe the new nvda drivers?

should i choose a differant 2nd currency with the 1080ti?

Or is it normal to loose that much HS because im mining two and im just being greedy LOL

btw just doing testing atm.. my main rig is 7x1070s and have one with 3x 1080TIs... currently just running NICEHASH on everything.

Yes lbc is the same like eth

Sia coin is different and all second coins too...
Lbc is the more profitable and the more expensive in power

Anyone using the MSI Z170-A Pro for more than 4 GPUs?

I've got mine set to Gen 1 and >4GB in the BIOS.  All the cards show up fine and Claymore recognizes all of them, but when Claymore starts and gets to Create GPU Buffer on the last card (GPU0), the system hangs.

I'm on Win10 Anniversary with latest Nvidia drivers.  I've got 4GB RAM installed and virtual memory set to 16GB (16384MB). These are all EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3GB Cards.

Any ideas?

i dont like Windows for mining... but
what psu do you have?
are gpus on stock settings?

I have that motherboard and i am mining with 6 gpu as well...
I remember i had to update the bios to the last version and enable the 4g decoding
I have to check when i go in the office for be sure.
But it run 6 gpu very good

I have the same Mainboard.
I run 7GPUs GTX 1070 on that.

Here a great Youtube Video about Bios settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-FkpU2KfI

I have 4GB RAM, Windows 10 X64

I had some troubles. So I had to install Windows 10 in UEFI Modus with GPT.

Oh yes i forgot you have to transform windows 10 in uefi mode gpt. If you have difficulty in this you can use aoemi partition assistant it will transform your mbr into gpt in 3 seconds without struggling....

I had to transform gpt hard drive and boot for all my rigs otherwise you won't be able to use more than 4 gpu

Thanks for these suggestions.  I'll give them a try tonight.  Yes, even at stock settings can't get past the Create Buffer step before a hard hang

I'm starting to think it might be the PSU's.  I'm running two RaidMax 850W Gold PSUs.  Maybe it's not liking that.

Issues with ethminer error stops working.
Windows say it is running low on memory. I have set virtual memory to 16GB I'm not sure what is going on.

What is your actual value you put in for the virtual memory box?  I would assume you put in 16000 first of all correct?  Also you can run the taskmanager to see what apps are taking up memory on your system.  Hopefully you have more than 4 gigs of memory as well.  Check what other programs are being launched at start up and disable them to get more memory back.. etc..

 I have R9 280x not overclocked. I started mining with claymore and Nicehash pool. Today most of the time I'm mining at 13mhs, but at unregulated time I see the mhs is raised to 25mhs in Nicehash pool. And the temperature of the card is raised to 80 degrees. At 13mhs the temp is 67 degrees. Why is that happen? Who control my card at how much mhs will mining?
What could be the reason?
My configuration bat file is:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

16000 correct. Also I opened task manager memory when ethminer running is 50% I do only have 4GB but that hasn't seemed to be an issue on my 7 GPU rigs. I have disabled all non essential startup processes and services. Its seems to be inconsistent for when it displays that messages sometimes its in 12 hrs other times within 30 mins.

hello,

i have probleme with claymore miner

the miner do not restart when gpu hang, i need to reboot all the rig to start miner correctly

the claymore miner stop mining, and the wd is activated and can i know witch gpu hang, and the miner try to restart but hang and not continue,

befor i do not have this probleme, when gpu hang the miner restart correctly and keep mining with any probleme

All your help are welcome

Thanks

Has anyone experienced claymore destroying your wifi connection? 

Without claymore running I can ping my gateway all <50ms.  As soon as claymore starts mining the connection seems to be wrecked. Pings drop and claymore cannot access the network. Some pings get through but very few and with huge delays (3000 ms).

The only solution I've seen people talk about is hardwiring.  I've noticed it only happens with my new router and my rig on the old router works.  However I cannot reach the old router from where I want the new rig.

also, device manager shows 5 gpus, but claymore only finds 4. Any tips on this as well.


any help would be appreciated.

I have the same issue with him! My rig have 6 VGA Giga 3gb, but 1st VGA stoped Have anyone help us (

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.

i have a 850 power supply and each card is using 105-110 watt, so i should have plenty of power. Also, the issue happens with 4 cards installed not even 5. Currently , i have three of the cards on the board and only one using the riser and still get the same message. three cards on the board alone run no problem. I am trying to get 4 stable before i work on the 5th. I do not know why the error keeps coming up. I will try to replace the usb cord and the molex to sata. I also have another riser board on the way from a different and better company(according to the reviews). Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Yes (on Ubuntu)
probably the interferences.
put the antenna further away from rig, and use a big antenna, or CPL (plugger farther)

[AlainC]

the miner do not restart when gpu hang, i need to reboot all the rig to start miner correctly

do you have a reboot.bat/reboot.sh with shutdown called inside ?

if yes, there is a problem. often when GPU hang because of overclocking and heat, there are many memory errors in kernel logs, and the linux kernel end with a panic on unstoppable processor thread. I use a hardware watchdog

[yosko]

For Nvidia  slow hashrate, install windows 10 creators update.

no i do not use reboot.bat i use default wd I mean just restart miner when gpu hang and this not hapened when gpu hang

I did find a way out of this, it looks like is some kind of interference of the GPUs working, Claymore does not have anything to do with this.
Had a free PCIe slot, have a PCIe wifi adapter, if I install it right on the slot the connection would be there but the system keep drooping shares, so I installed a raiser in order to get the wifi adapter far from the rig, now it works wonderfully

Just my 2 cents

[Clannad]

Hi Claymore,

Is there any chance you can fix the "memory problem" that will affect Polaris Cards very soon ?
I quoted "memory problem" because it will also affect 8GB cards next month so there's not only a memory problem, but something else related to Polaris Cards

Thanks in advance for your answer

[angeringboy]

@Claymore,

Could you please check memory controller load? As others stated some cards randomly gets lower load on memory controller and this causes decreased hashrate.

For instance, my average hash rate should be around 264,5 MH/s for my 9 gpu rig. But it displays effective hourly rate around 205.0 MH/s.

I have tested this for more than 7 hours and this is the case for me. Even on ETH only mining using fine tuning and low power bios.

9 gpu rig

Is that nVidia?

Same question here, are you running 9 GPU rig with Nvidia? In my case, claymore won't run with more than 8 Nvidia Card on windows 10.

wow, if this is the answer, I'll be so happy.  I am using windows 10 and a usb wifi chip.  I'll get a small hub and see if I can put the wifi card further away.  Last night when I tried the usb wifi was sitting right under the GPUs.  I was suspicious of interference, but didn't think too hard about it.

Something I really dislike about your miner Claymore is the fact that if I'm dual mining ETC, when DevFee starts I lose another 30-40 seconds because it needs to swap to a different DAG and then after DevFee ends it changes again to a different DAG (132 on ETC 130 on ETH).

I really, really dislike it about your miner.

Just set an ETC pool for your devfee if mining ETC for christ sake, I understand you do a good job with your miners (you also make an awful lot of money, but it's cool anyway, it's deserved), but that's a long way from 1-2%, it's much closer to around 5% of lost hashrate each our with this dag swapping.

+1 i'm also loosing speed because of this
