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

[cobaltmdn]

Awesome update.

Upgraded so far over 10 rigs. On some I have seen even increased hashrate of around 2Mh/s. 

Good job!

Claymore's Dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal/Blake2s/Keccak AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner.
=========================

Latest version is v11.2:

- some improvements in AMD GPU kernels, it can increase hashrate a bit in some cases.
- reduced some delays, it will cause a bit less stale shares.

Working fine for now.

nice work claymore

Hash rate up by about 0.2 per card

POWER has gone up by 1.25w per card

Not sure if the increased hash is worth the increased power- unless performance improvement of reduced stale shares offsets it
will check for 24 hours

Hi.

I'm writing on behalf of my miner friend. He is seeing lots of false positives with watchdog. The rig is 5x 1050 ti on Windows. The err message is "GPU error, you need to restart miner". However, no GPU actually seems to hang, miner runs fine with -wd 0 option. Tried resetting to stock clocks. Tried disabling GPUs. The crazy thing is, if ALL GPUs are disabled in miner (like GPU0 Disabled GPU1 Disabled GPU2 Disabled GPU3 Disabled GPU4 Disabled) the error message remains!

Please kindly see log with -dbg 1 below (can't see attach file button here, sorry!).

I'm getting the same exact errors. No idea why, and I was running stable on previous version. I'm running 6x RX 570s

I remotely installed the 11.2 on my friends pc and is terrible if you disable dual mining, for example, during afternoon is blazing hot so usually turn off dual mining and when it turns dual mining off, is bad, had to reverse to v11 and this is my first time i reversed it. And to mention, 4 out of 8 gpus crashed after dag creation and only lowering the clock core a lot could make them to work again. So back to v11 on that pc and, @claymore you should investigate why updating the kernels brought such drawbacks.

I saw something similar and then changed from "-asm 2" back to "-asm 1" and the single mining went back up where it should have been.

Confirmed,

delete "-asm 2"
fixed hashrate issue

Agreed, for modern cards this will worsen them. Also for all my RX-570's my hash rate went up from 29.2 to 29.9 and just over 30 in some cases, it did almost nothing noticeable for my 560's and my one 580 went from just 30 to 30.192. The big increased for me were my 570's. The 4 of those in total are giving me an extra  3mh. Also I dual mine with one rig and solo mine with another(PSU no large enough to dual mine) I have never used the new ASM option 2 as it is for older cards.
My Solo Mining Rig has 3 570s and 1 580 and pulls 540w at the wall, that rig gives me 120mh/s

You also need to reduce the ram voltage. Set both to 870mv and the core voltage will drop

Are you sure about that? Why we use cvddc and mvddc separately then? The point is to set core and memory voltages separately right?
I dont think its neccesarily to have same voltages for core and memory. Also i think 870mv memory voltage is too low for dual mining eth=xvg

Memory voltage is not exactly the memory voltage. Search further if you are interested.
Just set core voltage >= memory voltage, disable all but the last P-states on both memory and core, and it will stick.

Please PM me entire log files so I can check them.

Well that means if i do not undervolt memory i cannot undervolt core, i cant understand that. Can anyone else confirm?

Thank for the new update, Claymore.

Have been running the latest v11.2 overnight and see the following:
- rx580 8gb up from 30.6 to 30.8 Mh/s
- Vega 56 no change
- Vega 64 up from 44.1 to 44.3 Mh/s
Stale shares at ethermine down from 6 % to 5 %.

Nice

Edit:
I just restarted my miner (only the .bat file) and now suddenly one of my cards drops from 44 Mhs to 34 Mh (after 5 mins running). Keeps hashing at 34 for 30-40 secs and then back to 44. Don't think I have seen this before...

[Marvell2]

hmm this new version 11.2 seems to submit shares much faster , probbaly why the stales are going down

nice job claymore, btw I have written a new tool that can update multiple rigs at once via text file list of IPs, also change other settings in the
the config.txt and remotely reboot rigs etc , this would be a good peice to add to the ethmon but its wondows only though since it uses WMI

its also good for bulk updating rigs, it can copy all the claymore files from any local machine it runs on to networked windows machines using the 'upgrade existing version'
checkbox.  You can also specify it to not overwite certain flags in you config.text.

- it also will create a startup shorcut automatically as well.

-still a few bugs to be worked out and the status bar does not work atm but it runs pretty fast through my 30 rigs.

pm if interested in purchasing a copy or if you want to merge into ethmon claymore we can discuss

I read that ddr5 memory voltage cannot be changed. What you change is the memory controller voltage. Ever since I learnt this I have never touched memory voltage again.

Claymore claims dual mining doesn’t hurt eth mining performance, but this is not true. I tried eth+xvg and eth hashrate dropped from 174 to about 160. Changed DCR1 to 4 and eth increased to 169. Back to eth only mining fast.
My rig: 6x rx 570 4G.

Hello, for xvg the dcri value needs to be 35-45, I find that range doesn't affect ETH hashrate

[j2james]

Hi. All you are talking about hashrate increasing. Looks like you all use AMD cards. For my farm with 6 ASUS GTX-1070 ROG STRIX hashrate beginning from 11.0 version is decreased. Yesterday I tested updated 11.2 version and nothing changes. Claymore 10.6 is the latest version in which I have stable good hashrate. It is between 189.9 and 190. Beginning from 11.0 I have between 182 and 185, sometimes 188, sometimes 176 I use CUDA 9.1 files of Claymore in all versions: 10.6, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2.

Claymore, can you comment this point?

Are you using RX580 Nitro+ 8GB cards? can you share your bat file please.
I dont know what happened but it just started accepting core voltage. Now it shows 870mv in HwInfo and GPU-Z as well.
is 870mv good for core voltage for these cards when dual mine ETH+XVG?

[Mashy81]

Update has got me a few extra mhs. Somewhere between 2-3 extra on 6gpu rig.
Keep up the good work bro

[Mashy81]

Also my hashrate is way more stable now. It was varying by up to 30-40mhs with v11.0 now v11.2 its rock solid. If it also improves effective hashrate you are on a winner

[MokraCota]

My effective hashrate on the pool is a bit lower with 11.2 than with 11.0 on GTX 1070 mining ETH.

[j2james]

My effective hashrate on the pool is a bit lower with 11.2 than with 11.0 on GTX 1070 mining ETH.

Which version of CUDA dll do you use?

And can you compare your hashrate with Claymore 10.6?

[Metroid]

My effective hashrate on the pool is a bit lower with 11.2 than with 11.0 on GTX 1070 mining ETH.

There was no change on nvidia side. So your argument is not valid.
