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

[jonfrakes]

I think I have figured out what he meant.

AMD cards are affected but Epoch changes. With every new epoch the hashrate of AMD card drops. Red rigs losing profitability on every 3rd day. NVidia cards are not affected.

With a fix of the driver AMD rigs will improve hashrate. It will consequently cause difficulty spike. Nvidia will lose profitability.

AMD will gain profitability as the improved hashrate and profitability will overcompensate the loss due to the difficulty.

If I am right I am very impressed by that guy putting such a complex explanation into 6 words
He is also wrong that  NVidia rigs not mining ETH. They do.

With the AMD driver fix, AMD cards just regained the hashrate they lost from the increased DAG filesize while NVidia cards gained or lost nothing (NVidia cards' hashrate won't change even up to DAG 190). Status quo pre-DAG increase was just restored. Everyone is affected by the difficulty spike whether it's AMD or NVidia cards.

Hello everyone,

Its my 1st post on forum so i want to say Hi! so...

Im mining with 2x 5 Asus gtx 1070 i use gpu Tweak II but my cards make only 28-28,5 mh/s
I have set voltage on +100 memory + 1000 and core + 200 (with basic settings i had 25mh/s) but as i can see people can get even 30-31 mh/s on 1070 (i dont use any other programs or bios settings and i use latest drivers for 1070) - heres the question

Can anyone help me with setting my rigs?

When is the AMD epoch driver fix coming or is it here already?

I love claymore but I might have to switch to SGminer as it's not affected the by later dag size.

With Radeon Driver 17.7.2 i got much higher Power consuming on my Rx480 8GB rigs, theme Bios mod. So i switch back to 17.7.1
İf the rising Epoch Hash rate drop Issue will be fixed with an much higher power consuming GPU, then i will mine with the old drivers. :/

Wrong, all current miners are affected by the DAG issue

I was trying with 17.7.2, but the overclock config is not apply.

17.7.1 is working fine.

I'm having a strange issue. I've read the last several pages as well as searched via Google for several hours. No dice. Here's the issue:
I have 2 different GTX 970 rigs with 5 cards each. Testing them on ETH only mode. Before overclocking or anything, they all get about 18 Mh/s each. Here's the odd thing: 1 out of the 5 cards will be at around 11 MH/s.... i.e. GPU1. All speeds look equal in Afterburner. I'll restart the computer, and GPU1 will now be at 18 MH/s. But GPU2 will be down to 11. I'll restart the computer again. GPU0 will now be down to 11, all others at 18. So, it's not an issue with a card, because the dropped one changes on each restart. I have the same problem on both rigs. 1 card of 5 is always at 11-12 while the other 4 are at 18. One is an MSI board, the other is a brand new Biostar board. All have powered risers. I'll unplug one GPU, and just try with 4 GPU's. 1 card will be at 11-12, and other 3 at 18 MH/s. Restart, the slow card will be back at 18 but another card will be down to 11-12. It's driving me nuts! I downloaded the miner from Mega. One computer is running 9.7, the other 9.8. Same problem. So, it's not any particular GPU, not the miner version, not the motherboard, not the number of GPU's attached. What the heck is the problem? Somebody hacked into the miner?

i am not sure this will work, but try this: in NHM setting, check "NVIDIA p0 State" option.

About this DAG fix - if I get lets say 29mh with my rx 480 now, how much more could I get if AMD fixes the DAG issue?

Its irrelevant as you wont have any profit increase.

Irrelevant for you and your limited vision of the 5 main Etherium coins, profit-auto-switch, nvidia competition, people that won't fix their hashrate and several other reasons not exactly clear for dumb people.

looks like you that kinda guy who drives without a/c to save on petrol

What is your psu? It may cause issue like this if it is not powerful enough.

How do you know that this is not a particular GPU? GPU numbers could change after the restart if you not adding certain keys.
I would have always manually located the 11Mhs GPU after every restart before ruling this out.
Post your configuration, logs, screenshots, pictures of the rig... Hard to help knowing just a bit....

Hey Claymore,

First of all thanks for all amazing work you have done!

I'm wondering have you looked at CUDA 9.0? Does it brings something that can potentially boost nVidia cards performance?

[Bibi187]

Hi guys, i have a little question !
That probally gona sound obvious for you but i have to ask.
My rig run like fine for 48 hours +, i changed the -dcri to a higher setting.
For now i get crash every 3-4 hours with this new value. So i assume when u switch -dcri, u have to adjust OC ?

[NoOneLt]

So i assume when u switch -dcri, u have to adjust OC ?

Obvious self-answered question Dual mining is more intensive, so yes, lower everything a bit step by step until stable.

[Alainmardirossian]

Anyone knows if we still have to mix drivers or AMD fixed the issue with the new 17.7.2 versions on windows 10 in order to used 6+ gpus on the rx 500 series

[Mictlantecuhtli]

How can I specify the path to the folder for logging? I'm satisfied with the default file names and their number, but I want to store them separately.

it is possible to mine solo LBC?

[soothaa]

it is possible to mine solo LBC?

Yes you can, you just have to use their miner program and not Claymore which is a real shame. Claymore's miner is one of the best, most stable and feature rich programs I have ever used. The best forks for solo mining LBC just do not compare. You will want to grab a copy of CCminer and solo mine LBC that way. However, AMD cards do not solo mine LBC as well as nVidia cards, the real trick is the dual mining with memory intense algos (Ethash) and core intensive ones to get a small bonus. Don't expect the AMD card solo mining to output as much as you would with ETH+LBC.

[POM]

I'm not noticing any bump in hashrate like when I switched to v9.7 in v9.8 but seems to be stable.

Thanks claymore

[Deadstock]

I like the update so far

Thank you for your explanations.
I hope it takes not so long that ccminer will be intergrate in smos.
