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

[se32786]

I have 4x Rx470 running Claymore v.9.0, only for Ethereum mining.
I have observed that their hashrate is slowly decreasing over time.
I remember back 3 months ago they were at 28Mh/s each, now they are at 25Mh/s each (without changing anything on my configuration of course).
Here's how I run Claymore:

Code:

./ethdcrminer64 -epool eu2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal <eth address> -epsw x -mode 1 -tt 68 -allpools 1

Any thoughts?

You need the dag fix drivers released by AMD

google "AMD blockchain compute drivers"

Windows 10 and Claymore 10 are not required.

The driver is on Linux/Ethos. And Claymore 10 does make a slight improvement but it's not a complete requirement. It won't be able to get your GPU temp stats without it though.

EDIT: nevermind, ethos does not have blockchain compute drivers! wtf amd!

What is the hashrate of NVIDIA Quadro M5000  8GB?

2

2MH/s? Why is so bad! This card is shit for mining?

I found with Claymore 9.8 voltage and clocking in the bat file did not work so well with blockchain drivers.
Also I tested this out on one card one machine not for mining. However my 3 machines for mining have windows 7 and I am not interested in switching those machines over to windows 10. So for me the solution is simple Claymore 10.0 for its optimizations for LBR, and Alt Ethash coins for now.
My 570's do 29.3 ethash 65 Lbr  My one 580 does 30.1 ethash 68 Lbr my 560's do 13.9 ethash 34 LBR. my 1060's are not so good at dual mining doing 23.6 ethash and 21 LBR

Hi!

I've experienced a weird bug on my new rig (6 * vega 56) . Everything works fine when I use 5 cards, but when I add the last one it boots, but 1 gpu always fails at the start of the mining and it freezes in seconds.
I've tried all the cards before one by one and they are perfect. Risers are fine as well. The weird thing is that when I try to start mining only 1 card fails, and it's not the same, it seems its a random stuff which one fails.

Config: Asrock h81 btc r2.0, g1840, 4gb 1600Mhz CSX, 2*750W EVGA GQ, WIN 10 64 pro, [Suspicious link removed]pute driver 2017-08-23, PSU1--> system, 3 cards and their risers, PSU2--> 3 cards and their riser.

I've tried to run 3 cards and the system on only 1 PSU (for days) and it worked perfectly --> ~620 W from wall. PSU shouldn't be the bottleneck.
I've tried to reinstall driver. I've tried to lower the power targets of all card by maximum 50%. I've tried stock settings. I've tried stock settings with 100% fan speed.
As i mentioned only 1 card fails per each start, but it looks random, it's not even connected to the same PSU.

5 cards work perfectly, 39Mh/s/card in solo mine, consuming 1010W from the wall.
Is it a software or hardware bug? I can't even guess, and I'm out of ideas what to try.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I've had this problem. had to use DDU and remove the drivers completely and go back to square one. Once drivers were removed placed one card in the machine and installed the driver, shut down and install the rest of the cards.

I tried to reproduce the issue with clocks and low speed until miner restart.
Windows 10, latest blockchain drivers, stock RX580 Nitro+.
1. No overclock: If I start miner in ETH-only mode, it shows about 16MH/s only (and low memory controller load in GPU-Z) and I see this speed for about 20 seconds, then it shows 24.6MH and works fine. For dual mode it shows full speed immediately. Unfortunately, I have no idea why GPU works slowly within first 20 seconds, it is something related to drivers.
2. I close the miner and apply some changes in clocks: memory 2000 -> 2100, core 1300 -> 1100. When I start miner, I see that it applies new clocks in about 10 seconds, but still shows 18MH/s only for first 20 seconds. Then it shows about 25.5MH.
Note that I use default ROM so these speeds are not high.
3. I close miner and apply new clocks again: -cclock 1000, -mclock 2050. Same behavior: it shows low speed at start, then normal speed for these clocks. GPU-Z shows changes in clocks in about 10 seconds after start.

So right now I cannot reproduce the issue with new clocks: in my tests new clocks are applied immediately, I don't need to restart the miner or reboot the system.

I have an update regarding this issue:

- First I told you it happened on my 480 ASUS DUAL 4GB that was having an OCL thread hang, then at restart the GPU would stay in a lower performance mode, albeit having the clocks applied at miner start.

The problem is that this issue with non-rounded milivolt values with the miner makes the GPU have an OCL thread hang AND reset it's clocks. Then with the clocks reset when you open the miner back after the restart changing the default clocks/voltages makes the GPU enter in this lower performance mode.

With this ASUS DUAL 480 4GB, 1050core 1755mem and custom strap it hashes 25,35mh/s normally, 21,9mh/s on this lower performance mode. Restarting the PC makes it go back to the higher hashing value.

I have this same problem. It's like my rx 480 4gb drops into limp mode and hashes at half the speed until I restart the miner.

Help! I wrote over the Silent bios for my Nitro+ 570 8gb Hynix card. Does anyone have a copy? I really need it!!

I've got a weird problem with an R290X card. Claymore just stopped detecting it this morning. Tried version 10, and 9.7. No AMD cards detected. Then I connect my LCD screen to the card, and play games with it, all works fine. No changes done to the setup for months. No updates.  
PS: fresh install doesn't change anything, still no devices.

Have you updated the drivers to the new blockchain drivers? If so have you used the AMD (atikmdag-patcher-bios.exe) patchers after?

Try the older versions of Claymore and redo your start.bat file

After nearly 80 hours of uptime one of my Vega FE's crashed... I had to restart my computer!  Pretty stable considering I mine while gaming and let Vega get a good work out!

I do not believe AMD made a version of the block chain drivers for Linux, someone can correct me if I am wrong however. The block chain drivers or the Robin Hood version are they only drivers that will correct your ever decreasing hashrate which will only go lower and lower as the DAG# increases.

[Triangulum]

I'm probably the only person here who uses Ethman, but does anyone else have an issue where it constantly closes itself? Very frustrating.

Not me. I have Ethman running on 4 rigs (RX470, Win10 Pro, blockchain drivers) for days with no issue.

Thank you! I'm gonna try this!
I've tried to reinstall driver using DDU, but all the cards were connected.

Did you have the same problem? Have you tried to simple reinstall with cards in and it didnt work?
After driver install on 1 card you put your cards at the same start or 1 card plus, restart 1 card plus .... ?

Hi

Sorry if this was already asked in the huge amount of pages here.

Is there a way to set the fan speed on one fan, but leave the others running automatically?

-tt -50

sets all fans to 50%

I only want to set the first one to a static figure. The rest i want to be automatic as there originally were?

Let me know!

Thanks

I don't think that's possible to set one fan speed to static and the rest to auto with the Claymore miner. You can set individual target temps using the -tt command line parameter in Claymore, which will adjust the fan speeds automatically according to the GPU temperature. Otherwise, if you're on Windows, you can set the fan(s) you want to be static using Wattman or Afterburner and leave the others to auto before starting the miner.

-tt   set target GPU temperature. For example, "-tt 80" means 80C temperature. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-tt 70,80,75".
   You can also set static fan speed if you specify negative values, for example "-tt -50" sets 50% fan speed. Specify zero to disable control and hide GPU statistics.
   "-tt 1" (default) does not manage fans but shows GPU temperature and fan status every 30 seconds. Specify values 2..5 if it is too often.
   Note: for NVIDIA cards only temperature monitoring is supported, temperature management is not supported.
   Note: for Linux gpu-pro drivers, miner must have root access to manage fans, otherwise only monitoring will be available.

Just use Afterburner to set custom fan profiles.
