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

[scryptr]

Possible to run diff GPU's on diff coins on the same rig?

That would be saaaaaaaa-weet.

YES, DIFFERENT GPUS CAN MINE DIFFERENT COINS--

You will need to run different instances for the different cards. 

EXAMPLE:  (4 card rig, run 2 launch lines)

        1) Run Claymore for GPUs 1 and 2 for ETH + DCR

        2) Run Claymore for GPUs 3 and 4 for ETH + SC

Just follow the examples on the Opening Page (OP) and in the readme.  Specify the card numbers in each launch line.

It may take more CPU power.  I have not tried it.       --scryptr

Vega is ... hot. In stock it takes about 400-450W in dual, 300-350W in ETH-only mode at about 33MH/s. And it's throttling like hell. It's very good in dual mining mode, but it's too hot.

Undervolt it - DUH. I forced mine to never go above 1.025V, and she mined Sia under Linux at 1600Mhz stable! :3

I'm noticing that the core clock is less important than the memory clock.

I'm a little nervous about how much voltage I can give the HMB2 though... These Vega FE's are the first GPU's I've every messed with voltage and clock settings.  I rarely overclock anything, but since I bought these cards to mine with and they represent 2/3 of my mining GPUs I want to get as much out of them as I can.  They're also all of my disposable income for the next year so I don't want to ruin them and risk getting turned down on a RMA.

Currently at

852MHz GPU Core clock (My profile is setup for 1347MHz as the high end, but the GPU won't go past 852)

Memory is 1125MHz @ 1125Mv

GPU temp is 68C, fan is at 2779 RPM (~>50%)

Genoil is reporting 25.95 - 31.15 MH/s, but not enough run time to cite ethermine.org values.

yeah but what was the wattage, even a 120 mv uundervolt on an RX 580 8GB only saves 30-40 watts

250 watts for 31 eth and 1600 SIA is garbage for a FE card that costs $900

I can get 37 mhs eth and 1300 SIA out of a gtx 1080 ti for 230 watts , and its a cheaper card

[NavyCuda]

I don't know how to play with the timing.

[animosity2k1]

Trying to get my ubq and sia mining setup for last 6 hrs, wouldnt hash. Removed my solo mining address and moved back to ethermine pool address and eth wallet and I am back to hashing. Seems to be something w my solo mining server. The address in my ubiq bat ahould be my wallet address from my fusion wallet correct? What else cluld I be missing. My ip and port is correct.

Help pls !!

I have 6 RX 570 gpus connected to the PC and they all are enabled and seemed to be working fine (Windows 10).. I want to save the bios of the 5th GPU, modify and flash it with ATI Flash.. When I open ATI flash, it only lists the first 3 GPUs.. No way to scroll down to the 5th.. How do i scroll down and save the bios of the 5th and flash it back? I do not want to unplug the other 5 from Mobo and do it.. It will screw up the already configured and working ones..

You should always BIOS flash cards in the primary 16x slot directly connected to the mobo, and should always be done individually before you try connect all the GPU's.

never had to do this, I flash my cards in any slot even connected to risers no problem after reboot

Never said you had to.  Just a precaution to avoid bricking your card with a bad flash.

I never did that.. I assumed its ok do flash while on riser.. And I add each GPU one by one and flash them and leave them on the slot.. So thats not a good practise? And there is no way to backup and flash the 5th card from atx flash? If there is no way, then I have to remove all other cards, boot to windows, flash the card, connect all cards back and I wouldnt have any card error or detection issues? Thanks

Have you messed with undervolting?

Usually I don't change anything, just use stock clocks/settings. But for this card I will have to change some Wattman settings due to hard throttling, but I found no Wattman. I spent a few days to prepare my tools and code for Vega, but today I finally noticed it: no Wattman for Vega at all. May be because I use Windows 7 instead of Windows 10, I will check it (though it's strange anyway). Also I don't see "gaming mode" button in drivers. ADL does not work too, so I even cannot set 100% fan speed to prevent throttling. AB does not work too. Weird.

Probably just due to Win7 for some reason. Wattman is there, in gaming mode in Win10 anyway. Gaming mode doesn't do anything now except get you wattman. You can also use wattool.  Memory speed gets set slow if you set all pstates, so just set last one. Bugs probably will be fixed upon RX Vega release.

Is that possible to ETH + XMR (Ethereum + Monero) Solo Mining ? If so, How?

both on VGA card or ETH on VGA and XMR on CPU?

I tried this program for 2 days to mine digibyte but I cannot do it also digibyte's mining program is not available on their website

You can flash cards beyond #4 using a command prompt window and using the command line version of ATI Flash utility. It is in the directory with the Windows version.

Really surprised that AMD released a fix for the DAG for the Vega but not for the Polaris cards.

Pretty much nobody is mining with Vega but everybody is mining with their RX gpus.

Yeah, I see "gaming mode" button in Windows 10. So this issue is related to Windows 7 only.

ETH+XMR Both GPU Mining.

Asking again,

This may sound a strange request, but is there any way to edit the configuration so the console would not output the hashrate/stats for other altcoins than ETH?

Like if I'm mining ETH/Sia but I only want the console to output data related to ETH mining is there a way to do that?

[yslyung]

is there a solution to easily switch between normal pools & NH/MPH ? they need -esm -allpools command but for other regular pools not needed so it's easy to switch between them.

let's say if i want to switch from ethermine to nicehash, i will have to edit config or .bat file and restart miner. so far easiest way is to make 2 .bat files but still have to shutdown n restart miner. a on the fly solution would be great and also from ethman if possible.

if it's only a single miner, yeah ez no issues but wut if some has a farm of over 50 miners ? that would be not easy.

hi all!

I have an issue with one rig... I got all 5 cards detected (msi armor 4gb) running windows 10 64bits. All cards shows up in Device Manager, I used the atikmdag patcher, all cards shows up in msi afterburner.. but as soon as I launch the claymore

No NVIDIA CUDA GPUs detected.
No AMD OPENCL or NVIDIA CUDA GPUs found, exit

Motherboard Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

Anyone can help me fixing this??? I've been messing for days to fix that stuff

Thank you!!

I have problem with Claymore miner. With 3 GPU GTX 1070 8GB everything is OK and stable. When I add 4th GPU GTX 1070 8GB, miner starts to restart itself and giving me error CUDA ERROR 11 - CANNOT WRITE BUFFER FOR DAG. First I thought it's GPU fault  and put new one with 2 old one and everthing is OK. Every combination of 3 GPUs is working, except when I add 4th one.

I increased virtual memory to 16GB and checked free disk space (71,6 GB).
I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit, with 4GB memory.

Could be problem in RAM or disk space ?

Please, for solutions, beacuse it's very little about this error on net.

You need to update to Windows 10 Creator's Editon for Claymore to work properly in Windows.

I just updated the AMD drivers to latest... I can get claymore to work.. but first card is doing 4-5mh only    This is driving me crazy
