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

[tg88]

Has anyone been able to figure out how to use the new "Y" feature in 11.6 to automatically turn on compute mode....

I have tried the following but a no go

Make a batch file in an editor and nameit.bat then create a shortcut to it. Nameit.bat - shortcut. then right click on Nameit.bat - shortcut ->Properties->Shortcut tab -> Advanced and click Run as administrator. Execute it from the shortcut.

Any help would be appreciated

I recommend using this tool, it works well.

Tell me please, what does this message mean when you run Claymore:
«GPU 1: too high epoch number for 3GB card in Windows 10, consider using Windows 7 or Linux to reduce memory that is allocated internally by OS. Miner will try to extend available memory now...»

Is this problem only with Windows 10? How to solve it?

How fee will calculated if rig contains 3gb and 6+gb cards?

[Claymore]

How fee will calculated if rig contains 3gb and 6+gb cards?

Added to FAQ:

- I see 0% devfee for all 2GB and 3GB cards in Windows 10, my rig has some 3GB cards and some 6GB cards, how is the fee calculated in this case?
  During devfee mining 3GB cards still mine for you. How does it work? Miner creates second connection for devfee mining, main connection still works and 3GB cards still find shares for it.
  You can see these shares in the log file, all devfee shares contain "Devfee:" string, normal shares don't contain this string and 3GB cards can find them during devfee mining as well.
  Note that devfee mining takes only 36 or 54 seconds per hour so it can take many hours to find normal shares during devfee mining.

Claymore, why don’t you support dual mining xmr now that I’ve seen you give your miner for free?

Why old files after restart not deleted?

[Claymore]

Claymore, why don’t you support dual mining xmr now that I’ve seen you give your miner for free?

Because there is no way to mine two coins at good speed if both coins use all memory bandwidth.

Why old files after restart not deleted?

If it removes oldest logfile "1522721763_log.txt", the total size of log files will be less than 100MB, so it does not remove it. Why does it work in this way? To keep at least one old log file and to remove logs not aggressively. So the miner will remove old logs but it will not remove the log that will cause total size less than 100MB.

I just popped Asus GTX 1070 to my working machine (single GPU). Done DDU in safe mode and installed latest Nvidia drivers. Claymore just quits soon after starting with no error messages. Nicehash legacy newest version does detect GPU, but older versions do not. What is the culprit? What am I overlooking?

Thanks

So 825 h/sec on monero earns about as much as 29 mh/sec on eth, but monero draws 3/4 the power.  Monero seems like a no brainer for Polaris.

So 825 h/sec on monero earns about as much as 29 mh/sec on eth, but monero draws 3/4 the power.  Monero seems like a no brainer for Polaris.

RX 580 is around 98 watts for 29.5mhs on Ethereum with an undervolt to around 895mv.

RX 580 is around 122 watts for 30.0mhs on Ethereum with an undervolt to around 950mv.

RX 480 can get a much lower power draw with undervolting, than the RX 580.

You would be wrong about the power draws for Ethereum.

Maybe you have some exceptional silicon?  Most of the numbers I've seen on these boards are closer to 120W at the wall for rx580, i.e.  about 750W for an ordinary 6-card rig.  Seen plenty of people pulling 800-900 watts, probably bc they're not undervolting enough.  My 580s are undervolted to around 850-860 and they pull about 115-120 from the wall while doing 29-29.5 on eth.  They only pull about 90W on monero while doing 825-850 h/sec.

In any event, even if the magnitude is off, what matters is the relative power draw between eth and xmr.  Even if the 580 is 98W for 29.5 mh/sec, xmr is better to mine at 75W for 850 h/sec.

Because on RX Vega 56 - you cannot set an undervolt below 900mv via Adrenalin drivers.

Which version of AMD driver are you using to get 98W? (Most of my RX580 pull 125W or higher from the wall on blockchain beta or 100W from the wall on 17.3 prior to blockchain beta with similar OC settings)
Also, did you measure the watt from the wall or from HWInfo?
Thanks

I've confirmed that the undervolts are being accepted.

I find 659W for a 5-card rig doing 150 MH/sec believable.  I get 174 MH/sec for about 750W.

My point is that the same 5-card rig would probably do at least 4,250 h/sec on monero and pull only about 500W.

The value of the eth mined is about the same as the value of the xmr mined.

I find 98W a bit hard to believe.  I know some well optimized/tuned 470/480 rigs with good silicon can achieve something close to this, but I'm skeptical it can be done with a 580.  Maybe a freak card here or there.

Was trying XVG on blake2s with 6 x 1080ti's in Dual with ETH.   Can anyone please confirm an average hashrate for blake2s on XVG with this setup.   I'm seeing about 330 MH/s per 1080ti.   Does that sound right?

As a tip: the key is to lower the memory voltage and the GPU speed down.

Umm, that 77.5 number is the chip power, and not from the wall.  Total power is roughly two parts chip and 1 part VRM.  That's at least 115W consumed by the card.  Depending on efficiency of the PSU used, that's 120-130 watts from the wall, which is about right from my experience.
