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

[jeremyismer]

Does rxboost require the Claymore driver install? I tried to run it last night and got a bunch of errors, but I hadn't run the driver install setting but wanted to check if I needed the driver before I tried other troubleshooting.

I'm only getting about a 2.2% increase on a 12gpu (9 580 and 3 570) rig with -rxboost and -strap 1.  The -mclock OC setting I have for these cards were the most stable OC I could do on older versions of claymore miner.  So my question is with the rxboost and -straps, do some card perform better with less OC with the miners new memory timings? 

Example:

RX580 4gb -cclock 1150-cvddc 820 -mclock 2000 -mvddc 900 hashes at 29.7mhs (NO rxboost or strap)

Same card with same UV/OC with -rxboost 1 and -strap 1 now hashes at 30.2mhs.

Will this card perform any better with different -mclock or strap variable??? Or do you believe this card is maxed out at 30.2mhs due to rxboost 1 and strap 1 being most memory intensive.

Give more mem clock

I am running rx470 4Gb 1180 vore 2150 mem 32.7mh/s

Same here.. Seems to have happened after using -rxboost 1 while trying different -strap values. My RX580 hangs after starting the miner now. In fact, it hangs with any other miner as well. Tried -driver uninstall, and the driver was apparently uninstalled, but the card still hangs. Not sure what to do now.

Guys.. for the record, this turns out to be unrelated to Claymore's miner. My USB riser died while I was testing this version, and I didn't realize that right away, as Windows seemed to still see the card but saying that the card was reporting problems. I verified the card works well on another machine and narrowed it down to the faulty riser. Sorry about the noise.

Simplemining just implemented Rxboost on linux  

I am running Rxboost on ethOS (Linux), RX474 32.1mh/s , before 31.4mh/s

Finally got 33 mh/s with RX470 - with rxboost

Please share wit us command line options and GPU OC settings ?

I have a lot of different 474's and cant get more then 30.8 with -rxboost 1 and -strap 1

Anyone test the power consumption difference with "rxboost" command? Also for those who are having trouble keeping it "rxboost" stable on windows, try -rxboost 30 .... seems to be the most stable for Windows and SMOS (rxboost -i 30) rigs without crashing systems. I've attached a chart for a mini farm we operate (SMOS - 4.0 Gh/s), and we noticed a 3.38% overall gain withing the farm (approx. 135.74 Mh/s Increase overall). I attached a chart with details.

Again our main concern is power consumption increasing (hopefully decrease?  ) , as we currently don't have access to power readings due to farm being remotely located. We will test the power levels in person soon, but we would like to know a range for expectation purposes, if anyone already tested.

Disclosure: Rig 11 and 13 seem to have been 'underclocked' prior so try to refrain from using those as a we also fine tuned some timings on those on top of 'rxboost'

Memory doesn't consumes so much power... Memory clock up to 2250 MHz on GDDR5 increases it a bit. But memory timings not so important to power, i think.

You are correct that the memory chips don't consume that much power with better straps but the GPU compute part of the graphic card actually does use more power overall.

Think of it this way. The GPU compute is actually idle alot because there is a bottle-neck in the memory, when the memory is faster the GPU compute is idle less and overall there is more power consumption. This is why back in 2017, it was very popular to dual mine coins with ETH because most of the time the memory is busy while the GPU compute part of the video card stays inactive and does nothing.

Hmmm, maybe you're right. I don't think this way...

Thanks for info , Im on W10 m maybee i should try Linux-based environment.

I have some rx470's Samsung, Elpida and Hynix, using rxboost my rigs are crashing
what driver are you using and are your cards bios modded or stock?

[big_daddy]

Latest one, i personally use 19.3.2 with compute mode switcher and atikmdag patcher.

are your cards stock or modded bios and what are your results?

I use bios modded straps, not the freaky  on the fly, looks like some of the gpus already bricked with this when i go back some pages here.
Elpida and hynix the same, 32.7 to 32.9mh/s with rxboost and phoenixminer.

Wait a minute , ist rxboost only ClaymoreMiner option ?

No for sure not :-)

what rxboost are you combining here? the rxboost is on Clay or what am I missing?

No i use the rxboost tool for linux from simplemining os, best you switch  to simpleminingOS run your own straps and run with phoenixminer... for rx400/500

You can use Amd Memory Tweak and use "REF" flag, it's the same thing, free to use

I wrote about the same few posts ago, people not read before ask

Would you share some infomation? What is correct interval of values for --ref, if you have some stats, what is most used values for GPUs, if possible by models?

[Bojcha]

Latest one, i personally use 19.3.2 with compute mode switcher and atikmdag patcher.

are your cards stock or modded bios and what are your results?

Yes all cards uses modded bios since my straps still kinda better then straps in miner. So i only use rxboost on top.
btw if you change rxboost number or GPU clock its good to always pre-tune dcri at asm2,
