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

[Kritix]

Hey there, im quite new into mining- I recently started to mine on my gaming PC just for fun and then i decided to build a rig...
So i got all the parts and six rx 560 (as i could not get any better cards due to global shortage)... and that is when my nightmare started.

I run the rig on win10. system detects all the cards with no problem... well after few but i managed that
but once i start claymore, im done for.
If i got only 4 cards plugged in, everything works fine, but as soon as i plug in 5th or 5th and 6th card, claymore is suddenly able to detect just 2 of them.

I have spent better part of last two days trying to find some solution, but i got nothing. Tried countless drivers, restarted the rig a million times, even tried other miners despite the fact that i like claymore the most...
nothing

If anyone got any idea what could help, please let me know.

do you have virtual memory page file set to 16gb?

Yes, without that, not ecen windows was able to detect cards properly... i suspect crossfire has something to do with this issue, as if i connect more cards, only those two in full slots are working

yes crossfire needs to be disabled double check that for all cards in radeon settings

Do you have some tip on how to do that? All guides i found were showing option to diable crossfire under Gaming > Global settings > Crossfire....
Yet i do not have this option at my radeon settings, i have tried multiple versions of drivers, currently i am running 17.4.4 but i have not seen that option in any version i tried.
Is there some other way to turn of crossfire for good?

who know why after 10 hours and more miner restart by watchdog with error and one card drop overclocking to default

Still no support for vega? I thought Claymore was working directly with AMD on it.

Claymore has indicated that vega support is a couple weeks away.  I have two vega fe's, so I feel you!

Miner detect and show only gpu0 and gpu2 in temperature. How can i fix this?

Ok, so i tried bunch of other stuff to find a way to disable crossfire - nothing worked... then i realized, GPU-z should show status of crossfire and it turns out, i have it disabled on both cards in PCIEX16 (i have unplugged the other cards for now)

So, if crossfire is disabled, why claymore still detects only cards in PCIEX16 and not cards in  PCIEX1 slots?

Still if i plug in 4 cards (1 PCIEX16 and 3 PCIEX1) it all works fine...

Id be grateful for any tips.... for now ill just set up 4gpu rig and go to sleep, i am exhausted and got to work tomorrow :/

9.7 Results:
ASUS 1080ti - 2000mhz clock / 5200 memory

Eth: 30-31.5 mh/s
Dcr: 2250-2350 mh/s

Anyone else with a 1080ti have results to share?

Is this dual mining performance using 1080 ti? If so could you please tell me your watt usage from wall per gpu?

lol yes its dual mining performance (why i posted dual results). No clue on power consumption per gpu. What sw can show such things?

On another note, after letting it mine for 24hrs, the posted hashrates went up nominally (~32mh/s - ~2400mh/s)

Guys, dumb question.....

I got 6 x gtx 1070, 4 cards are powered with 2 pci-e Cables that have 2x8 pin each, and 2 cards are powered using single Cables with 1x8pin.
I guess my question is, is there any Power difference/problems if you connect more than 1 Graphics card with 1 single pci-e Cable?

There is no rules : it's depends of your GPU BIOS.
For the GTX 1070, 1 PCIe 8 pins is enough and some cards have only one.
The manufacturer put a second PCIe 6 or 8 pins only for those who overclock a lot they 1070.

It is only 1x8 pin on my cards.
What I meant by my question is that some of my pci-e Cables have 2x8 pins and I have used these Cables to connect 2 cards in 1 Cable.
So thats 2 cards powered up with 1 pci-e Cable. Could this be a problem? Should i only use 1 Cable for 1 card instead?

Would love to know this answer myself.  My small understandings of such things tells me the wires in those cables are rated to carry so much power (current x voltage). Right there it's gonna vary depending on the quality of PSU/cables you bought. For the cables with multiple pin connectors, I'm guessing they would do fine supporting 2x low-powered gpu. Probably less so 2x high-powered gpu.  Where that line sits, and which side of the line holds a 1070....I wouldn't know.

Have you checked device manager? Does it show all 6 cards? If not then you have to enable 4G Decoding on the Bios. That should show the 2 extra cards, correct and without any warning in device manager. After that, drivers should re-install themselfs and after a final restart (remember to patch the drivers if you have messed with VBIOS) you should be ok.

i was just saying to my friends last week that claymore wasnt worth the dev fee unless your dual mining as nice hash ethminer was just as fast then BOOM!  he hits us with this update an extra 7mhs on a 6 x 1070 rig thank you very very much indeed!!  

also i should point out that claymore dual miner 9.5 was 0.8mhs faster on my RX560 card than 9.7 but on pascal cards it rocks!

[khufuking]

Hi I just started test dual mining eth/siacoin with Glaymore on  my card GTX 1050 ti I get 15.4 Mh/s eth and 154.2 siacoin . I have couple of question please .

-Can i boost my numbers more ?

-It is normal to sometime stay for 15m+ without finding any shares !!

[sysw0rm]

I can confirm on MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB (micron memory) hashpower incresed by 1,5 MH/s ~ with v9.7.

[alvingans]

Problem with Claymore's V9,7
yea it increase my gtx 1060 speed from 18.3 Mh/s to 19 Mh/s but it also reduce my RX 580 card from 29 MH/s to 28.3 Mh/s.
something is wrong?

Are you sure it wasn't the DAG increase that reduced your 580? Have you reverted back to 9.6 to confirm?

Yes i reverted back to 9.6 and it back to 29 MH/s

Hi @Claymore,

Very happy with your mining program thus far, thanks for the continual updates and your contribution. I have a question for you.

I have two cards;
 
MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X                             -  [24-25 mh/s]
MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X+ (with 9gbps ram) -  [20-21 mh/s]

Any idea why the 9gbps card would perform slower? Any plans to optimize this? I know there are a lot of us out there with the 9 gbps cards, so it would certainly be beneficial to us all.

Thanks,

Daniel

It does not look like Claymore has resources to answer every single question on this forum. Also I do not believe that he has capability to read your mind. There are many smart people here who can help but you need to provide details and specific settings and screenshots in order to find out what is not right with your setup. For a start: what is your Windows Versions and Built and Update status? What driver do you use?  and so on... Take GPU-Z screenshots as well

[ulfsaar]

Can any one confirm if using this miner on solomining, claymore gets the block if it falls on his devfee time? Back in the days, he always get my block thats why i stopped using this for solo.

Shouldn't the devfee time mine on pool instead on solomining mode? Imagine mining 3 straight days then the block falls under his time. That hurts.

Hi TechPark,

Thanks for your response. I understand he doesn't have the time to respond to everyone. There are a lot of other users with the same issue regarding 9gbps, so that is why I am sending the inquiry straight to him, I'm not asking him to read my mind, as the issue is clearly related to the 9gbps based on the sample size.

I tried to simplify it in my message, but I have around 60 GPU's running right now, and the 9gbps (from different brands) are the only ones that have this kind of drop off in productivity.

Windows 10
Same overclocks for below mentioned cards (+115 core, +750 mem). I have even singled out the overclocks on the 9gbps card directly to reflect the clocks of the non 9gbps.

I can provide further info if you are not convinced that the 9gbps ram is the issue here.

Miner detect and show only gpu0 and gpu2 in temperature. How can i fix this?

Im quite sure there was some command for detecting GPU.  I really need help.

How many GPU in total? How many are detected.

[JustCauseBIH]

@Exsumane
Total 3 GPU, GPU0, GPU1, and GPU2.

Detected only GP0 and GPU2 as shown on picture above. Same cards (rx 470 sapphire nitro).


I had this morning new strange issue with another rig. All was up-time more than 50h but suddenly miner hash work was not detected by poool. My miner was still working with full hash power, without error or anything similar, but mining pool did not registered has work rate. Interesting, effective hash rate was there, but not current. Any thoughts on this? Issue was sorted with miner restart.
