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

[br2459]

Is there a linux version with straps?

No Linux support yet. Keep pressing F5 till it shows up on the OP thread.

[UnclWish]

Strap 3 seems to work best for Polaris ?

Depends on memory manufacturer. For hynix MJR 2nd strap is better.

and for samsung memory ? what straps do you think is best ?

I don't know. I checked only hynix 8Gb memory.

I tried v14.3 in Windows 10 and (still) made my Windows 10 running in test mode. My cards are RX550 4GB and RX560 4GB with stock bios (I reflash them all), tried with -strap 2 and got a similar result with my previous custom bios. I'll give you an update for stability measurement after 24 hours or so.

From my tentative view, this version seems stable and do what it promised. The "-strap" feature really helps newbies who don't want to flash their bios.

i get this every time i start     " Failed, miner activated Windows Test Signing Mode, please reboot to apply it and start miner again" what does it mean?

AFAIK, you need to enter test mode.

Test mode is the only way to run an unsigned kernel mode driver without it being signed with a cert.  When you do "-driver install" you are installing said driver to allow run-time access to the GPU configuration registers via that driver.

Hi? -strap option work with P104-100 cards?

Hi? -strap option work with P104-100 cards?

Im just testing currently also.. ~39mhs but not sure is it because of straps since i think this card can get ~40mhs with only overclocking

[sharmanov]

so... the -strap is for NVIDIA cards only? this will not have any effect on my Radeon VII? also should i run the pill with the -strap on 1080ti cards?

Hard to read Readme!!!.txt? The pill can't be used.

[evlo]

wtf is straps on nvidia cards? Can you really change gddr5 nvidia timings?

Have heard of the eth pill? I believe it did the same thing but with the GDDR5X mem on the 1080/1080TIs. So why would it not work with regular GDDR5?

Because there is no public info how to do it?

v14.4 Beta:

- improved mining speed for Nvidia cards by about 1% (depends on card model). Note that dual mining for Nvidia cards suffers from this optimization, use old versions if you use dual mining on Nvidia cards.
- a bit reduced intensity of all Nvidia straps.
- added "-sintensity" option to adjust strap intensity for Nvidia cards, see Readme for details.

See below for bat/bash file settings to connect with Ethashpool.

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eth.ethashpool.com:3939 -ewal WALLET_ADDRESS -eworker RIG_ID -epsw x -esm 0 -allpools 1 -mode 1

Is it possible to have this sample included on the original posting under the Ethereum sample configs?

wow, P106 now gives 27.3 like red 474 Nitros+ ) thanks

Nice! did you have to change the bios or just simply upgrading Claymore?

[Branko]

So, did someone somewhere tested Nvidia cards with this new miner?
It would be interesting to see results vs AMD cards now that Nvidia straps are modifiable too

[weenkky]

my tests Claymore v14.4
1050 Ti ~ 17.7 strap 5
1060 6Gb ~ 26.5 to 27.6 strap 1 (depends on card)
1070 ~ 33.5 to 34.7 strap 1 (depends on card)
1080 ~ 44.3 strap 2 (without pill)

1070 ~ 33.5 to 34.7 strap 1 (depends on card)
1080 ~ 44.3 strap 2 (without pill)

Great numbers, they're almost on par with their AMD counterparts.
Seeing how Nvidia is better at most other algos, I guess it makes Nvidias more viable than AMD

I've never seen Nvidia firmware flashers for 1060. just updated and added -strap 1 to config

[percy_tc]

I can confirm P106-100 getting more hashes. About 26-27Mh/s

P104-100 crashes for me with straps 1/2/3  (even in default clocks). Will see with different driver tomorrow.

You can try this (from Readme):

Code:

-sintensity   strap intensity for Nvidia cards, in %. Use this option to adjust strap intensity for Nvidia cards if even straps with lowest intensity ("-strap 1" and "-strap 4") are unstable on your cards. 
   To find best value, use "-strap 4 -sintensity 1" and see if it is stable. Then increase "-sintensity" value (maximum value is 100) to find best stable hashrate. Then try other "-strap" values.
   You can also specify values for every card, for example "-sintensity 10,0,100,30".
   Default value is "0" which means no changes in default strap settings.

there will be support for graphics cards lower than 4GB vram? i mean memory timing
