Fresh install of W10 + AMD blockchain workloads driver (23Aug) + atikmdag 1.4.5 pixel patcher +MSI AB v4.4.0 Beta 16 and have a happy mining

My 24hr averages are usually very close to reported hashrate.

Even on a VEGA 64 that is OC to 41MH?  

Any other GPU I've used in the past the 24 avg lines up with reported ( within ~1MH ).  

Vega 64 is stuck at 32 MH for 24 hour average for me.  It lends credence to the stories about how the reported hashrate is incorrect for the VEGA 64.

My theory?  Some throttling is happening due to some setting.  In Claymore spam the statistics button 's' (I mean really spam, try to get a few reports a second).  I see it is sometimes 41 MH then sometimes I see as low as 23 MH.   I think the card is throttling for a quarter second every second or so.

Anyway, something weird is definitely going on.  I'm holding my breath for someone to post legit mining results.  Lets see your ethermine page, average and all of a OC Vega 64 running 41MH and actually getting close to that in 24hr avg.  Again, I can get my card to 41 MHs reported no problem, still comes out as 32MH for 24 hours avg.

I'm using two Vega Frontier Edition air cooled cards, which are basically Vega 64's with 16gb of vram.

You will see a worker labled c_vega_fe, this is both of my cards, one at 40Mh/s and the other at 42Mh/s.  You will also see that they were offline for a bit while I was playing, which may or may not account for the hashrate difference 81.6 reported, 78 actual.

the orange line has never been the same as the green line for me.. yours looks to be ok.

only robinhood beta version. And this will not work with rx vega.

I think the driver will work only on Windows 10. And I suggest installation of Pro version rather than base versions of Windows.

1)
if you are using "AMD blockchain beta driver" which contains the DAG patch you should not be happy with 25MH for nitro+ (8GB models can do 29+ stable)  27.5 in dual mine is the lowest you must be getting running at low power

[/quote]

Any tips on getting to this? Should I go back to the original bios and overclock it manually? If so how would I go about doing the overclocking? You also mentioned previously I should do DDU and then point the driver to each card manually rather than doing the express install... Would that get rid of AMD settings which is now always running and can I get a dummies guide please

Best PSU for a 4 GPU Card configuration?
What about a UPS system to keep things going? Any experience with that?
Is it wise to proceed with multiple internet connections (switch over) as a failsafe feature?

Hi folks, hi claymore,

there still  seems to be a couple of bugs in ethdcrminer64. Some of them in dual mode exp+dcr. First of all i must tell that i only work with RX 560 cards.
I have 2GB and 4 GB versions of them and currently only Asus and Sapphire cards. 6 of them are in one rig with a 1000W PSU. All systems running windows
7 prof. 64 bit. Currently i have 3 computer running ethdcrminer64.

The first bug which i want to report is that ethdcrminer64 ever crashes reproducible on start. On all systems! The only way i found to get ethdcrminer64 running is to start zcashminer64 v12.4 before for "initialize" or "flush" the cards. After that ethdcrminer64 running fine, but only once. If i finish it and want to start it again, it crashes. I must start zcashminer64 once (and finish it) to start ethdcrminer64 again. It took me days to find that solution. It also dont help to reboot the system or to turn it off! This behaviour is reproducible on three systems and i tried ethdcrminer64 9.6 until 10.0 and Crimson Relive Edition 17.7.1 until 17.9.1. Two of my systems have currently only ONE RX 560. Dont ask me why, please.

The next bug i want to report is that in my opinion the dual mode (EXP + DCR) is buggy on systems with more than 4 GPUs (Win7 64bit, RX560). I searched over four weeks now for another possible solution but cant find it. I tried to undervolt, i checked possible GPU memory errors (HWInfo64), i checked the psu and the riser cards, i checked the intensity and othe options. I also tested to let the cards alone, dont changed anything on the volt or clock times. I checked the amount of watt for each card and made sure, thats its the same as for solo mode. Nothing helps. The systems with only one card running fine in dual mode. The system with six cards crashes coincidentally if there are more then 4 cards. And it dont really matter if i undervolt the cards or let them alone. It crashes sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes after 6 hours and most of the times during i sleep :-)

In solo mode EXP the six gpu system works fine.

@claymore
i am ready for bugtesting if you want.

kind regards
Wolfen

Anyone care to share RX 570 hashrates with the new Claymore + blockchain driver for dual-mining ETH+LBC please?

With moded bios, mine rx 570 usually run at around 28M/s, depending on brands and oc setting.

More interested in the dual-mining with LBC part. What's your LBC hashrate with the new Claymore version?

hello miners, i need some help

i am trying to dual mine Eth+Sia with Claymore's Dual v10 without any overclock and i use blockchain driver for my 3xAMD vega cards.
Everything works ok for eth BUT i am getting error message for sia coins.

i can see my ETH stats at eth.nanopool.org but for SIA COINS i cannot see anything at sia.nanopool.org

i am sure that i am not the first one had this issue..
how can i solve this problem?


Thanks in advance

Try this at the end by adding -dcoin sia

EDIT- Sorry noticed after that you already have -dcoin sia in between... Maybe move it after but also have you got "=" instead of "/" after the sia address?

my gigabyte rx 580 crash on claymore 10 and blockchain driver without msi ab. I use cvddc and mvddc for voltage settings which work fine without blockchain driver.
any idea when amd driver will release new version of blockchain ?

[crd007]

When using this miner for other coins than ETH it always needs to create the DAG new when the dev fee kicks in. This takes way too much time .. is there a chance to fix this in future versions?
Maybe to keep the DAG files in graphics card RAM to switch to it very fast? Memory shouldn't be a problem on 8 GB cards .. It can update the DAG in background if necessary but that doesn't change that often ..
Would that be possible? Thanks a lot

This is a good question as I have noticed that while mining lower dag ethash coins the dev switch due to loading dag files twice now puts a hurt on my aver pool hashrate as when compared to mining ethereum. I feel I am loosing about 1-2% of my hashrate due to this. I could be wrong.

1. For ETC and EXP you can use appropriate options and DAG won't be recreated.
2. Allocating twice more memory can cause instability on multi-GPU systems sometimes, also it won't work for 4GB GPUs. Instead, I can include the DAG recreation time for ETH epoch into devfee time so every hour you will get about 15 seconds of mining more.

That would be a very fair move of you!
Till now it resets the dev fee timer due to DAG recreation.

So you tried holding both DAG in memory? Is this a very hard thing to program? Otherwise this could get optional for devices with more than 4 gb RAM. So to say it would be without warranty an just to play with it. Maybe it is more stable than you think. Would save time where there is no mining. Good for you and good for us.

But not resetting the dev fee timer would be good as well. I just don't like the cards to drop out of full load to cool down a bit and than get hot aggain. Just the same temperature and load is the best I (personally) think.

I am currently mining Musicoin as I do not want to switch my 3 systems around to windows 10 from windows 7  just to get a blockchain driver to work. One other thing I noticed to but I fixed this was when I manuall set the DCRI after running the miner by pressing - or + it would reset to 30 after the devfee. I had to actual use -dcri x,x,x,x in the bat file in order for it to stay fixed for my cards when mining musicoin

Hello people,
I've RX470 cards.
I'm trying to use the AMD blockchain driver to deal with DAG file issue that we are having.
But MSI afterburner does not respond to it and I can't overclock the cards. I've used the afterburner beta and applied the fixes, but still no respond.
Here my steps:
Fully updated win10. I removed the old driver with AMD clean uninstaller > Reboot > Installed the blockchain driver. > Since the I've edited the card's BIOS, I used the driver patcher BEFORE rebooting the system, All options are found, patch done. > Reboot. > And after system comes up, Card is good, but Afterburner Beta still can't overclock it.

I tried to overclock with the Claymore itself, which may I add, is pretty easy and effective, but the problem I get is, that I can only overclock the GPU 0. 6 next cards (I have 7 cards on the rig) won't get the settings. I used the code like this:
" -cclock 1100 -mclock 2050"
or
"-cclock 1100,1100,1100,1100,1100,1100,1100 -mclock 2050,2050,2050,2050,2050,2050,2050" (Or different values)
And no results. I only can overclock GPU0.

I could use some help. I really need to overclock these cards.
With current price and difficulty, I'm starting to get hurt.
