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

[delle54]

Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.

If 30 seconds of your life are sooo important, try your luck with a different miner. Or are you trying to tell us that a quicker initialisation would make you rich?
Claymore is doing the best possible.

[Vann]

Roll back to old drivers with no bios mod check....16.11 and below!
Use DDU uninstaller to remove/clean drivers.

Run pixel patcher.

Pixel patcher.. Is this not for RX 500 series? I'm running Rx 480's.

The pixel patcher is for RX 4XX/5XX Bios modded cards in Windows

I'm new to mining (or mining again after I stopped in 2014), and I can't get it working I'm running on windows with 4 AMD 290x cards.

Miner always crashes almost immediately.

The output I get:

Any clue what could be the issue?

Use DDU to uninstall your drivers and install them again. I had the same issue after adding a GPU without cleaning the old drivers.
Also, make sure your PSU has enough juice for all your cards. One of them may be lacking power.
good luck m8

Hello Claymore.

I am using Dual Eth miner on my Linux servers to mine for Nicehash. Nicehash offers API which I use to find out what coin is most profitable to mine. Sometimes it is ethereum, sometimes it is not. My problem with your software is that when I stop mining other algo and I start mining Ethereum using your software, there is a big delay until your software starts actually mining. It does something for preparation, I do not know what it is, perhaps generating some DAG, or some other things. Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.
Would it be possible to implement something into your miner to allow it to start mining faster?

I can reduce init time from 30sec to about 20-25sec, that's all. Probably you change coins a few times an hour if you suffer from init time.

Hey Claymore,
Were you able to get your hands on Baffin?
Without asm optimizations it actually does very well at very good power consumption, I would really like to see what it will be when you do asm kernel for it.

Yes I got working RX460 card, finally. I will release new version in a few days with ASM for Baffin and some speedup for Nvidia (got 1060 card too).

Hello all,

I've been having some issues running Claymore's miner lately. I've done everything possible that I know how to do, but I'm still having issues. Here's a list of things I've done:
-Clean uninstall drivers and install 15.12 from both Softpedia as well as AMD previous drivers page
-Using an older version of Claymore's miner (downloaded from MEGA)
-Setting Windows "swap"/virtual memory to 16GB
-Updating all device drivers
-Swapping motherboards/CPUs
-Overwriting Windows 10 with Windows 7

Here are the specs of the machine I'm most currently running:
-5x XFX R7 370's (2GB) ----- I'm mining Ubiq, not Ethereum, so 2GB cards still work!
-5x powered risers, all of which I know are working as they were tested in a working environment
-AsRock Extreme4 motherboard (the one molex plug IS connected despite powered risers, was necessary to boot)
-Intel i3-4130 w/ stock cooling
-8GB Ram
-850w power supply : Kill-A-Watt reads 750w from the wall when it's running at full speed (it did work for a few hours the first time then suddenly disconnected and I've been having issues ever since)
-Edimax Wireless Adapter (150mbps)
-Windows 7 Professional (I've tried with Windows 10 for days and finally decided that it might be the OS, but I'm still have the issue)

Misc info:
-I use Chrome Remote Desktop to remote into the device.
-Windows updates are disabled
-Radeon automatic updates are disabled
-Only things installed are device drivers, Google Chrome, and Claymore's miner

WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, HERE IS THE ISSUE I'M HAVING:
After much testing and deducing, the problem that I can replicate best is the fact that when the miner is started, the computer crashes in one way or another. Every fan still spins, and you probably wouldn't even know that it went down unless you actually saw the screen go from blue to black (switch from on to off). This confused me for the longest time since I was mostly using the device headlessly until I brought a monitor in.

I've also had it where the miner starts and then all of the sudden all of the fans kick on to 100%. It scared me to all hell the first time I heard it. Thought I fried something, but everything seems to run "fine" (besides the fact that it's not mining, of course). After a reboot every device is still there.

The only other bit of information I can seem to scrap out of this is that it crashes when the DAG epochs are created. That's the last thing I see before the screen goes black and I have to hit the reset button.



Thank you in advance for any replies, I've been working on this for days and all of these graphics cards are still just sitting.

- I had the same motherboard and you do not have to have Molex plugged in. Just read the message during the fist boot, press the required key and it will not come back. With powered risers you do not have to use MB Molex.
- If I were you I would try to run cards one by one, if successful then add one card and try again and so on until you get all 5 running. Keep 1 card in a slot > do a DDU first > reinstall the driver > run miner > shut down > use riser > run miner > shutdown > add another card > DDU > driver > riser and so on...
- I personally believe that your issue is related to power. If miner works with 2-3 cards but not with 5 this is the indicator.
 

You know that even the best PSU in the world can only deliver about 85-90% of the power written on the box. Just do the math
You either give up one gpu or get a new PSU.
Best luck m8

Hello
I have one msi gaming x rx 470 8 gb and one sapphire rx 470 4 gb on my system.

When I try to start  the miner both cards are identified as Ellesmere 3072 mb and then it quits after saying POLO/SOLO version but when I start it through nicehash gui both cards are identfied correctly one 8192 mb and the other 4096 mb and it starts mining without a problem. Ive attached a screenshot for both cases.

This is the command line Im using

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal <Your_Ethereum_Address>.<RigName> -epsw x

Could anyone help me figuring out what im doing wrong. Thanks

[boysie]

So I have managed to get a Vega working with almost all miners apart from any claymore so it seems its just claymore that's not working

lets hope he is feeling rich and got him self one or knows why its failing, maybe its due to recognising it as a gfx900

with no tweaking its using 250-270w @ 33MH but it gets hot and in a hot room its gets really hot and is throttling back and settling down at 25MH although it uses less power its doing less

It has the same issue the rx 480 had with the card controlling the fan where by it would prefer to thermal throttle back to go slower than ramp up the fan, I guess this is a more quite option but it impacts the perf by quite a lot

You can get round it by setting the min fan speed at 80% and max at 100% and up the power to 20% but then its using 350w but is stable at 33Mh 1600/945

I'll play more and hope @claymore can fix the issue with his software, both zcash and eth/dual and night

I managed to get mine working, setting the profit to my Etherium Wallet "main account", which I just installed. Will that work? The Ethereum wallet seems to work different than the other bitcoin/altcoin wallets, where you can see incoming transactions.

Yes that will work. Make sure you backup the private key or wallet.dat file. You can see individual transactions at etherscan.io. If you want to see incoming transaction you can set up a wallet contract address, but the mining pools won't send your coins to a contract as the gas rate is much higher. Yes, Ethereum is strange as your main address the individual transaction don't show in the wallet, only the total value of the address.

Even with the latest optimizations the best I could get was 27ish...with newer mining gpus it might break that barrier.
