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

[Finnedsgang]

Hi can some one help me with my problem?
My Hashrate with claymore 11.6 with a  1080ti is constant with actual oc, but i had no shares for about a couple hours...

i read that with ethermine miner, some users had solved removing the code "--cuda-streams 24" and adding "--cuda-grid-size 4096" (for a 1050ti)
there's such similar for claymore or another solution?

@claymore
can you maybe fix miner for gpu temp monitor
when i use MS remote desktop, and run miner .. only 1 gpu show temp
when i run minier via teamviver, show all gpu temp and fan %, or i run local .. via keyboard and monitor

but, teamviver is not free, and from time to time block conncection and you must wait for another.
And MS remote desktop is builed in, free and working great

It is not related to the miner, the reason is in Windows and AMD drivers.

@dadoremix : Kindly try chrome remote desktop, it's free as well.

Wondering if someone has an easy solution to this new problem.

I've been mining for 1 year with no problems across my 5 rigs.

All of a sudden, the majority of my rigs (using various versions of Claymore) are showing GPU0 as 0.00 MH/s.   I can only seem to mine if i plug gpu0 into my monitor, but then my other rigs will stop mining.

When I relaunch claymore, it hangs at POOL/SOLO.  Eventually it will get going, but GPU0 will be at 0.00, then it loops.

I'm using various versions of claymore across my 5 rigs.  Aug23 blockchain drivers and afterburner.



Please help.  My hashpower is useless right now.

I've got this weird problem with stale shares rate for quite a while. 5-7% of stales to be precise (up to 10% on a 180Mhs 6 GPU rig at a time). At first I thought it might have something to do with GPU firmware, or process priorities, or claymore (been trying different versions, keep installing the latest with no improvement whatsoever). Tried to get rigs work through proxy, but then it became obvious that direct stratum is fastest way anyway. Network issues are out of question - I run gigabit switches to the router, then to the fiber optic router, and get 79ms to the ethermine pool. CPU load on rigs generally around 2-5%, and I use raisers v.006c (quite standard stuff). Here's my screen https://imgur.com/a/Xf8IDeM

Any suggestions?

If you're using Windows operating system this may be the solution.
Windows doesn't like to operate well without a monitor attached to the primary video card.
But attaching a monitor isn't recommended when mining.
Try buying a Dummy Plug and put it on GPU 0.
They make HDMI dummy plugs in several forms.
That works great for me. Something like this one at Amazon.
I don't know why this would suddenly start, but I think it's worth a try for you.

TeamViewer is free.
I have 8 PC's connecting to TeamViewer.
It's the honor program with TeamVeiwer, as long as you are not using it in a
business it is totally free. I've use it for years.

Thanks for your advice.  I'll give it a shot.

I am indeed using Windows.   Even though I've done all I can to prevent automatic updates, even with regedits, Windows seems to update my machines.  Often I have to DDU and reinstall the blockchain drivers, which is quite the pain.  I assume these new issues I've been dealing with are likely related.

Your advice seems like it just may work.  I do know that when I login to my rigs via team viewer, the aspect ratio is perfect if I login to a rig that has a cable plugged into a monitor, even though it's off.  Otherwise it's 640x480 if there are no cables attached to GPU0.


Thanks again.

If you are getting high stakes then it's most likely the location relative to the pool.

What is the average ping when a share is submitted? It needs to be less than 250ms or you will get very high stale rates since ETH has very close block times.

If your ping is low then the other issue can be your computer. If your CPU is overloaded then it might submit the shares too late and hence give you stales

Have you done this to try to stop Windows Update ?
Maybe you already did that, but it has worked for me.

run services.msc
Scroll down to Windows Update.
If its shows running, right click and select STOP.
Then right click again and select Properties.
Set Startup Type to Disabled.
Exit the Services Menu.
Reboot.
Then check again to be sure its really disabled.

One of my nvidia 1070 keep crashing on both 11.6 and 11.7 (every 3~7 hours).
In log I got cuda error 4, unspecified launch failure
In Windows event, I have nvlddmkm event id 13.
What's the cause here?

I still use afterburn to control OC on 11.7 since I want to see if 11.7 is stable enough to run first.
The same card runs stable in 11.2.
I have identical card w/ identical OC setting run stable on 11.6

The best way to stop windows update I have found is to set your page file size so you don't have much hard drive space left. Then when windows trys to download the update it won't because it can't fit
This has been the only 100% way of stopping it for me.

Actually I have done that about 4 months ago.  It's currently set to "manual", so I must have either not applied this tweak properly, or it somehow mysteriously switched.  Thanks for the reminder - I have gone ahead and disabled it.

Additionally, thanks to you I tried using a 4-port HDMI switcher that I had laying around to see if it would give me the same result as those dummy plugs you spoke of - and it has indeed solved my problem

Cheers!

If your ping is low then the other issue can be your computer. If your CPU is overloaded then it might submit the shares too late and hence give you stales

Thanks for reply, I even gave claymore 'above normal' priority, and it didn't make any difference.

P.S.: will try other miners and pools, to get a better picture.

What if you try phoenix miner. The dev claims that the most recent version gives 0% stales and many users confirmed that. I have not tried myself (also suffering from 5-8% stales). I'm just waiting for more people to confirm before I switch from claymore.

I'll try it first then. I'm also testing direct IP address instead of website name, rechecked that I'm using fastest DNS servers, tried encrypted VPN with servers in Europe because in my country government passes all traffic through their 'spyglass' servers. So far still getting same level of stales.

this is not the way to deal with windows update.
Instead you should use GP by opening gpedit.msc and disabling windows update policy.

also I can assure you that not having dummy plug/display connected to dev0 won't lead to 0MH for this dev. (or switched to integrated entierly)
as I have all these options working fine.
do mind though that if any display is connected(dummy is same) the card will be less stable and require more volts/lower clocks

I have done this many times but every reboot Windows reenables Windows update. I cannot get Windows Update to be permanently disabled.
