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

[Vann]

The blockchain drivers are not working with Windows 7.

Do you think there will be new release blockchain driver soon?

Claymore 10 + blockchaind drivers aug11 + patch + Win 10 creators + rx580s = the most stable mix until now!

When -r 0 no more system freeze, it just restart the miner smoothly. Fans are back in control when set the temp, voltage can be controlled (I have to figure it out why I can't go lower than 0.938 v). Overall, this is the most stable version ever. Thank you man!

to increase hashrate, you need to mod your bios and edit your memory timings.  Also, underclock and undervolt to save electricity and overclock the memory.  Its not plug and play, but there many guides out there, youtube videos and bitcointalk posts.  You could always check my website there is a section on bios flashing.  at your own risk.  no one said it was easy but for a little effort you will get 30% more hashrate for less power usage.

what is the website?

I would be interested i knowing what people are getting with the 10.0 update for LBR with their 470,570,580, and 560 RX cards when dual mining

4 Rx 480 8gb (xfx ref, 2 xfx hard swap, powercolor ref) getting a total of 117mh/s eth + 257mh/s lbry
This is my bat file

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

RX 560 - 13 Eth 34 LBR  
RX 570 - 28.6 Eth 74 LBR
RX 580 - 29.4 Eth 79 LBR

I decided to answer my own question

How with 10 + aug 23 + win 10 My rx580s are capped at like 18-22

Claymore v10.0 + AMD 23rd Aug Blockchain Drivers = Stable.
MSI AB beta settings keep getting reset, other watttool like utilities also suffer the same fate.
Uninstalling/Removing all tools and using Claymores built in ccore cvddc etc settings, and setting hash target is working fine for me for now.
I read claymore mention its a problem with the AMD ADL and it (may) be fixed if there ever is another blockchain driver update, or if this "fix" finds its way into mainstream drivers.
In the meantime, does anyone have a better solution to getting under-volts stable on Windows? The whole reason I was on windows all this while was the low low power consumption a simple tool like watttool could enable, now I might as well switch to smOS or something.

Hi!

I have 2 rx470 8GB cards with modded BIOS, aug 23 AMD driver installed, and OverdriveNTool for oc.
I have 2 questions:

1, If I mine ETH+DCR I have 51/1550 hashrate, if I mine ETC+DCR than 48/1440. WHY?
2, If I use claymore 10.0 I have almost 1 mhs less than with claymore 9.8 with same settings. WHY?

THX for answers.

ETH

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Afterburner 4.4.0 Beta 16 is working for me. I have no problems setting the power limit and undervolt with eight AMD RX 4XX/5XX cards.

So, I flashed the BIOS on my second card (it had only been mining at around 4MH/s....) and that didn't do anything. I saved the bios from the working card and flashed it to the second card and noticed literally zero change in performance. How the heck do I fix this and get my second card operating at full capacity?

[dogf]

I am using XFX 470 cards, I have difficulty setting voltage for some cards: some can be 888 mV, but some cannot down to 930 mV. I am using Afterburner 4.4 beta 16, win 10, lastest blockchain beta driver, and claymore 9.8.

Anybody knows this issue?

Anyway, my rig run quite stable: hashrate does not jump, power consumption at wall stable. I just want to reduce heat on some stubbone cards a little bit.

I have a problem, I downloaded the Miner, it adjust the settings I added in the start.bat after it adjusts it, the commando window closes itself. Any idea what to do?

add "pause" without quotes on a separate line in the .bat.  You will see why it closes, or check the log file if it had time to write one.  could be many things.

YOu have the infamous 4mhs bug.  Usually resolved by restarting the rig while connected to a monitor, connecting the gpu to a monitor, or getting a dummy plug and connecting it to your GPU.

[Edacra]

Well I have the following setting

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

I dont understand the bios modding. What am I to be changing on my Polaris cards I am only get roughly 20mh/s out of them on ETH.

When i load the bios following instructions, they say change timing, the timings are all kinds of crazy hex numbers.

I also get an error about my bois being too small

You cannot use GPU-Z to save the BIOS as it only saves half of modern bioses. You must use ati flash to save the bios. You are copying the memory straps from either 1500 (hynix, micron and elpida) or 1750 (samsung) and pasting it to all memory straps higher than it, such as 1650, 1700, etc up to 2000 or higher. This makes the memory run with tighter memory settings so hashes more. But it can also make the card unstable and/or crash.

"Our test bed idles at 138 watts and the entire system consumes an average of about ~385 watts under load while mining."  Big difference than that clickbait 130w.

you are correct I also just noticed this, no more system freeze.
