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

[Ratledge]

So decred, sia and pascal already has asic's? What about pascal and coins on the same algo?

Those ASIC folks don't miss a beat: it would be rather silly of them to bake in support for any particular algo and not make it extensible.

Bottom line: if one algo fits multiple coins, it's likely going to be eat up by ASICs.

So, somewhere in these 1k pages, is the answer I need probably, sadly  google searches failed me. Each time the miner has to reload the DAG file (dev fee as an example) the gpu's show less VRAM, and won't load the dag, causing the miner to crash.

I went -nofee to solve this, and obviously everyone loses here, but it's been running non stop since (long enough for it to fail if it was going to). Anyone have an obvious solution that's been stated 37 times in here and I failed to find it?

I am thinking a parameter or something would work (besides nofee). Linux, Smos rx580s

"Overclocking resistant" graphics cards?

I finally figured out exactly what the problem was with my shiny new Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB "OC" card.

It's always a good idea not to have more than one overclocking tool installed, but I suppose that I didn't look closely enough at software downloads for the new replacement video card? Their website doesn't seem to differentiate between the VGA Tool (for overclocking) and their Aorus graphics card software which I thought was simply a support and required load, but it turns out that it is simply a different style overclocking tool.

Their basic (now v 1.25) version is a glitzy graphical tool with more bells and whistles, whereas the Aorus tool is more straightforward and easier to use - sort of. Your mileage will vary!

Anyway, apparently having both of them installed causes them to fight over which has control over the overclocking - and neither wins. Frankly they both pretty much lose bumping the opposite tool in the head.

Once I had removed both of them, I installed "nVidia Inspector", more or less a generic overclocking solution for nVidia cards sort of along the lines of CCC for the AMD cards.  I used the parameters that I knew worked well for this specific card, and now it is always mining at 18.7MHm/sec as opposed to the 14.8-MH/sec it ran out of the box.

Just a little tuning and ended up with 18.8MH/s every time. I should note that Claymore Miner seems to be a little temperamental if you adjust the GPU clock while it is running, so use the tool to create a shortcut to your preferred settings, and add it to your START.BAT file.

Now I will futz around and see if I can get back to 20+

[HFman]

Odd situation.

Have a rig with 3 x RX570 4GB.  Was getting 27Mh/s with Claymore 10.6.

Had to change rig to different board and hard drive.  Board is the same, hard drive is slightly different (slower, but didn't think this mattered).
Same amount or RAM *GB, same pagefile, 16GB, same divers, same version of windows but now only getting 20Mh/s.

ANy ideas?  Really frustrated.

Drivers version is the latest, 18.2 blockchain from amd site.
Bios is modded the same

Sounds like you need still to change from graphics to compute :

https://i0.wp.com/mining.help/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ethereum_mining_windows_amd_settings_gpu_workload.jpg?w=1050&ssl=1

What memory does your card have ? your hashrate is still quite low...

[achalmersman]

So my AMD rig updated to the latest Windows build and screwed my drivers up.  Downloaded the latest AMD drivers (18.2.1) and MSI Afterburner 4.4.0 and Claymore 10.6.  I cannot get afterburner to recognize the cards / control the cards at all.  Is Afterburner not yet compatible with the latest drivers?  Didn't find anything via google searches

[Vann]

If you want to use the compute drivers, Afterburner will not work with the AMD Adrenaline drivers and multiple cards. Either use the Claymore config file to apply the overclock and undervolt settings at runtime, or use OverdriveNtool to create overclocking profiles for your cards as explained on www.mining.help.

If you want to use Afterburner with multiple cards you need to use the AMD blockchain drivers and you are limited to 8 AMD cards. You still need to use the pixel patcher with RX 470/480 and 570 cards after installing the driver.

Since you don't want Windows updating your drivers, I would disable drivers updates in Windows Update.

gpedit ==> Computer Configuration ==> Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.

I'm not entirely sure what's the meaning of your post, but 1060 should be stable at about 23-24MH with mem oc to +800-900

@claymore any advice on the below error?

Dear all, need your advice on my new rig. I constantly get the following error message and the miner restarts itself, which is a good thing instead of just hanging and sit idle. This happens as short as 2 hours or up to 5 hours. Tried searching around but yet to find any solutions. Thanks.

the above is because you have overclocked too much. startthe mem overclock at 100mhz run for a few days and see if this occurs and beleive me this will not happen . you need to find that one card that is moaning...

So my AMD rig updated to the latest Windows build and screwed my drivers up.  Downloaded the latest AMD drivers (18.2.1) and MSI Afterburner 4.4.0 and Claymore 10.6.  I cannot get afterburner to recognize the cards / control the cards at all.  Is Afterburner not yet compatible with the latest drivers?  Didn't find anything via google searches

I have the same configuration except for MSI Afterburner 4.4.2 and the same problem.

Afterburner recognize the cards and control the temperature and fan but don't control core clock and memory clock when claymore is already opened.
I found out that I can disable mining without closing claymore by just pressing the number of gpu (to disable gpu#0, press 0)
After disabling (waiting 1 min) and enabling, my settings on MSI Afterburner are applied to the cards and I can increase hashrate.

But on another rig with 1 RX 570 and 1 GTX 1070, when I change something on MSI Afterburner, it changes the hashrate immediately on claymore.

Hi,

I'm new with Claymore. I have just set up a RX460 4 GB OC and configure it to work with Dwarfpool. Claymore detects the Graphic card and connects to the pool correctly. However, after a few seconds (in some cases a little more) I got the following message: job timeout disconnect retry in 20 seconds.

Any idea how to solve it?

Why are colors in console when mining with NVidida GPUs so dimmed and washed out? Mining with AMDs have much brighter and better readable colors.

The reply I gave on page 979 of this thread is what I used to solve this issue.

"WattMan Support Coming For Radeon Polaris GPUs On Linux"
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Auto-WattMan-Polaris
"Back in 2016 AMD introduced WattMan to their Radeon Software driver to allow for fine-tuning of GPU voltage, engine clocks, memory clocks and more. An incarnation of that is now approaching their open-source Linux driver. "

Not for now

Overdrive no longer works with the latest AMD drivers. Use OverdriveNtool.

Try -colors feature:

-colors enables or disables colored text in console. Default value is "1", use "-colors 0" to disable coloring. Use 2...4 values to remove some of colors.

Sapphire TRIXX works but every time the rig reboots you have to manually reapply the settings. It is not resetting them at boot like it is supposed to do. Semi functional but better than Afterburner's non-functional status.

-colors just reduces ammount of colors used. I am talking about the deafult behavior of miner.

The suspense is killing me !  At the same time, I dont wish to upgrade all my rigs again... but progress is progress and we need more profits

Betcha Neoscrypt will be in there. This means it'll just rape profitability for all those new shitcoins out there you could extract an extra buck or two of. Oh well.

EDIT: or maybe not

v11.0:

- added new algorithm for dual mode: blake2s (stratum pools only), use "-dcoin blake2s" option.
- added new algorithm for dual mode: keccak (stratum pools only), use "-dcoin keccak" option.
- reduced devfee for dual mode, now it is 1.5%.
- for 2GB cards devfee is removed completely, i.e. on 2GB cards you can mine all ETH forks without devfee. Check Readme for details.
- added "-tstart" option.
- "-asm 2" option value now supports Tahiti, Tonga, Ellesmere, Baffin; in some cases it can be a bit faster in ETH-only mode.
- removed "-allcoins exp" option value.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.
