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

[Rickirs]

Just reporting about AMDGPU-PRO v17.50 drivers.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Installation-Instructions-for-amdgpu-Graphics-Stacks.aspx
The driver architecture seems to have evolved, and some option seems to install new opensource components (from Vulkan, ROCm OpenCL libs - Phoronix make article on that), but you can install legacy version.

I've installed with deprecated option on latest Ubuntu LTS update 16.04.3, kernel 4.10
./amdgpu-pro-install -y --compute
(in fact: ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --headless --opencl=legacy )
It finally worked nice, with no change in performance

however big warning: do clean uninstall before. I had initially installed the full amdgpu-pro with X11, then the --compute version headless, and when I installed v17.50 in compute mode, it could not compile the driver, and there was broken dependencies in apt-get... finally I hade to use dpkg --purge on all amdgpu related components, especially X11 libs, opencl libs...

Anyway, I see no improvement. is there some improvement to expect with v17.50 ? I use -mode 1 -asm 2 -etha 1 fro RX480/580... is there some prefered settings today ?

best regards.

I was on 17.40 , updated to v17.50 , installed without any problem however, my GPU (RX580) was not detected. I can see it lspci | grep VGA but claymore can't see , neither rocm-smi can see it.

Removed it and installed 17.40, now it can't install, giving some kernel related error that this is not made for this 4.11 (rocm kernel). So I don't have any AMDGPU-pro driver but on reboot card is detected and its working with same hash I was getting previously.

How following shows nothing.

Code:

dpkg -l amdgpu

But

Code:

lshdw -c video 

shows amdgpu driver loaded for my GPU , how do I find which version is that ?

Hey guys,
me again!

So. I'm still running 6x RX480 4gb saph nitro+. Blockchain drivers, Memshift Anorak Bios, OC with AB.

So out of two rigs with exactly the same setup I've recently been mining on nicehash with around 28MH per card. On Nanopool dual mining ETH/SC I've been getting around 25MH. After the whole nicehash hack I've had to go back to nanopool until they get the systems back up and running.

Thats all fine and one rig is running golden. My other rig however has now decided that it will not mine at anything higher than 19MH with the same settings. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, reupdating the Bios, playing with OC, went back to V10 claymore, etc but no luck the cards are just refusing to run at over 19MH. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I think I'm going to switch the hard drives around tonight to see if that does anything but short of that I'm stumped. Guess it would mean a fresh windows install if it does solve it.

PS. when I tried powersave bios on half the cards it did drop it even further to 16MH. previously on powersave I was getting around 22.

Looking forward to hearing what ideas you guys might have.

Have the same problem,  8xrx570+blockchain drivers. mining only at 20mh..
When I look at system ram, claymore use all 8gb.
Claymore restart after some time and the cycle starts over.
My other 6gpu rigs claymore use 450mb, anyone know why this is?

Please check what EPOCH is used in both cases. I have a miner that use different EPOCH randomly, and mining speed is completely different: from 9.5Mh to 23Mh (!!!). Did not find any possibility to control what EPOCH is used so in my case the problem is unresolved :-(

to know the package relative to amdgpu try
" dpkg -l| grep amdgpu|grep -v ubuntu16"
(the grep -v ubuntu16 is because some adgpu libs are from core ubuntu, not amdgpu-pro. check each name)
but there are also many other pakage related but without the name
then do somethin like
"dpkg --purge amgdpu-core amdgpu-pro-core  amdgpu-dkms ... and so on"
or if you are lazy and feel lucky (check the list generated before)
"dpkg --purge `dpkg -l| grep amdgpu|grep -v ubuntu| awk '{ print $2;}'` "
check if there are pachage with failed dependencies with
"apt-get install"
if there are, purge them too...

and then reinstall (--opencl=legacy and probably --headless unless you use X11 on your GPU).

I have a Sapphire RX580, so it should work...
 

[cryptotore]

Has anyone been able to get claymores miner to work on antpool?

I know that "Pools that require "Login.Worker" instead of wallet address are not supported directly currently, but you can use "-allpools 1" option to mine there."

But I'm not really sure how this is going to help me?

Hey Guys


I have a little problem...

After some tinkering i was able to bring my RX580 8GB cards to stable 29-30Mh/s. I have 5 of those cards and 1 of the 4GB version (which is also pretty good i have to admit).

But now to my problem, if i start the cards all individually they all bring the same performance, maybe +- 0,1 Mh/s, but when i start all of them together two of my cards need longer for the DAG creation 7200ms instead of the other 4900-5500ms .

And they only hash at around 20-22Mh/s.... I have no idea what i can do to bring some up with their buddies and like written further up.... on their own they are entirely capable of going 29-30 ....

Does anybody has any idea what i can do to improve my little problem ?



Sincerely

Sack

I have noticed same but only difference is 0.5 to 0.8 Mhz in my case if I run multiple cards, even have to lower clock a little to keep things stable, though I have 1060 and RX580s mix on same rig. But with 8-9 Mhz difference, that is odd. Have considered your PSU , is it not able to distribute power or its underpowered somehow for all running at same time ?

BTW, I don't think DAG creation time has any issue, with me, they usually takes around ~7000-8000 for each , yet all working fine.

I tried messing a little bit with the PSUs, sadly there was noch change again :/ Any other ideas ?

[Alajar201]

So I have tried this software before and I couldn't get my GPU AMD Radeon HD Series 7800 to create enough memory for the DAG file, I did try to allocate more memory but it wouldn't work. I'm stuck using Minergate

Have you set your PCIe slot to gen1 from BIOS ?
Also, is it that only on certain slots you get lower hash ?

[Cryptographertm]

so looks like cant disable devfee, least for me. command doesnt work.

Maybe you didnt read up about the Ethash algo or DAG size, but its over 2.5GB now, so it will not work on any cards with less than 3GB Vram ... those 7800 series have been out of commission for almost a year.

All Slots are on Gen1, yes it does seem to be two specific slots... but even when i do run the cards on their own( in the same slots) they are still completly fine :/

Thanks but don’t think this is it. With the blockchain drivers we should avoid epoch issues. Have you updated to blockchain driver?

UPDATE: So I swapped the hard drives around the rigs and now the other rig is running with 19MH instead... I'm pretty sure all my settings are exactly the same... Is there something windows could have changed after a few too many crashes?

Can someone tell me rig for 200mh or 300mh? I mean gimme what parts you used (gpu's,motherboard,psu,cpu,ssd/hdd) i want to start mining ETH i have around 2500 euros, and tell me profits and electricity power usage. I want to mine eth.

No.

Read the guides.  No one is going to spoon feed you.

[androstan1234]

I'm using the latest version of claymore, blockchain drivers, and MSI afterburner.  Nothing I do will change my voltages.  I have decent ones set in the bios, so my power consumption isn't too excessive, but I would like to be able to dial it back down.

I also tried Trixx, couldn't change voltages there either.

I'm sure the answer is somewhere in this thousand page thread, but can someone do me a solid?

[Swiped]

I recently put a machine on ETC and updated the drivers to the blockchain drivers, so the machine mines faster now, but is more unstable, even when I shut off dual mining.  Can anyone share with me their run parameters for a Sapphire rx nitro (non-plus) 480 8g card?  I am running windows 10 with v 10.2 with the August 23rd blockchain drivers.  Would love a suggestion on how to get this to run stable and not have cards tripping out.  I have tried raising and lowering voltages, lowering ethi to 1, and turning off dual mode, but not really found a stable set up.  Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks

I'm using this config.

Code:

-epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal xxxxx
#-eworker
-epsw x
-esm 0
-allpools 1
-mode 1
-estale 1
-ethi 16
-gser 2
-wd 1
-r 0
-dbg -1
-tt 75
-ttdcr 80
-ttli 85
-tstop 90
-cclock 900
-cvddc 800
-mclock 1750
-mvddc 800
-powlim -10

Works like a charm on my 6x480 rig

no wonder it works like a charm. Are you getting 24MH/card at least?

Thank you for responding, I will try your settings, I appreciate the support

Try adding -gser 2 setting and increase this value if it does not work
