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

[Blisk]

today I have bought nvidia GTX 1650 4GB ram
I have installed windows 10 and latest nvidia driver.
But when I run miner I get this, any idea how to solve this?

This PC -> Right-click -> Properties -> Advance system settings -> Click settings under performance -> Advance -> Click change under virtual memory -> custom size -> set to 16000 MBs.

Then try again.

What version of claymore are you using?
It sounds like 4GB isn't enough for the DAG since the current DAG is 3.27GB for ETH or 3.34GB for ETC.

"NO DAG FILES"--

Claymore's description of "No DAG Files" refers only to the fact that the DAG files are now created directly on the mining GPU.  The original Etherium miners created a DAG file on a system disk, and the mining GPU then had to read and load the DAG file into video memory.  Genoil managed to create and write the DAG file directly to video memory with his Etherium miner.

The advantages of the "No DAG File" code in an Etherium miner is 1) speed of creation and GPU loading, and 2) no on-disk DAG files requiring deletion and cleanup.  A USB-based mining system without cleanup scripts could rapidly fill to capacity and fail prior to Genoil's code.

I'm having problems getting Claymore to launch. I'm running Adrenaline 19.2.2 drivers. Claymore launches, and then just sits and does nothing. eventually closes. I noticed that AMD settings won't lauch, which I take to be the problem. Did some googling and tried uninstalling the Intel integrated graphics driver. no help. Process is (hooked up to internet)
Reboot in safe mode.
DDU clean restart
install 19.2.2
restart
pixel clock patcher
restart

The computer sees the GPUs  both in device manager and in GPUz, but radeon settings will never launch. I see it in the system tray, but it never opens.

Up to date windows 10 OS. HDMI dummy in one fot he GPUs.  Same setup works on other device.

Change the graphics display to IGFX in BIOS.
Connect the dummy HDMI to the motherboard slot.
DDU and install the latest version of the drivers. Patch if GPUs are BIOS modded.
Then run the miner.

It was already set to IGFX. I'm consistently getting the " Miner failed to initialize. need to restart." I'm running Windows 10, fully updated, but so are my other machines.

People who faced this issue narrowed it down to the Windows update and Integrated graphics. As you have alright tried uninstalling integrated graphics and it didn't work.
I'll suggest to roll back any Windows update you've done recently or perform a fresh installation of Windows.
If going with the second option, try Windows 10 LTSC variant.

what's the actual best secundary coin to mine with ETH on claymore?

what's the actual best secundary coin to mine with ETH on claymore?

People don't dual mine anymore pretty much, even people with free electricity just no point anymore.

The dual mining was good before ASICs were created for all those dual-mineable coins like SIA, Decred, Pascal, etc. Since those algos were mostly GPU compute it was fairly easy to fabricate a highly efficient ASIC kind of like the Double SHA256 which is used by Bitcoin.

If you still want to try it, then go to
https://whattomine.com/

Click the ETH+ and put in your details, however don't get your hopes up. Pretty sure none of those are profitable.

Dual mine ETH is a waste of money, it will heat up your rigs hotter and wear them out faster 

[MATHReX]

I did that and doesn't help at all

1. Try increasing it to 20000 MBs.
2. Try launching two miner instances instantly and close the first one. It will force to regenerate DAG.
3. Try adding this parameter "-lidag 0". Reduces it to the lowest intensity for DAG generation.
4. Try adding this parameter "-eres 0".

anyone else gets this ? win got lots of mem, cards got lots of mem, driver is the best so i dun understand

look at your virtual memory settings in Windows
Advanced System Settings -> tab "Advanced" -> under "Performance"- button "Settings" -> tab "Advanced" -> button "Change" -> uncheck "Automatically...." -> Custom size ->  What number is written here?

Will the latest version work with the latest Windows 10  builds?  

Been a while since I have mined but figured I might as well heat my house with my miners this winter.  

I remember trying to turn of windows updates and it was impossible, would wake up to tragedy... I wonder if windows ever addressed that?

Thanks everyone, mine on!  Someday our ships will come in.

OK> this should do it: How to permanently disable windows updates:

New question:  Which windows 10 build seems to work best? Thanks

@Claymore, I don't know if anyone already had this problem. I have a 8 x RX570 8GB rig mining solo ETH, randomly one card (any card) drops to 22Mhs for minutes and then it starts again going to full speed. I have been seeing this for long time now, any advice?

Thanks

Does the fluctuation of the hash rate on the one card reflect in the pool?
I read it somewhere that when a correct hash is calculated by the VGA and sent to the pool, it may affect the hash rate of the card for just a moment.

Also, try to remove any OC that you have on that card and see if it solves the issue.

Yes, it does reflect the card pool. With Phoenix and same OC settings I don't have any of this issue. Card are running really cold, so it is also out a question that cards are slowing down because of heat. It is not just a moment, I'm talking about minutes slowing down.

Phoenix Miner is better optimized for power consumption than Claymore. It consumes 2 watts less at same OC settings and less power means less temperature and overheating. To solve your problem decrease -tt. This will result in  increasing of  your fan speed and the sound.

I am getting a hard reset everytime I try any of the straps. I have testing mode enabled, secure boot off, driver 19.4.1 installed and 8 hynix rx580 8gb cards on win 10. When it goes to apply straps, it gets to the point where it shows the strap has been applied to the 2nd card and then...boom, reset. Tried with all levels of strap (1->5). I am setting the clocks with overdriventool externally, at 1751mhz (pretty low for testing sake).

The same thing is happening to me.I am at my wits end with this rig PLEASE SOME ONE ANYONE HELP!!! so i have a 6x rx rig with 4 x470 and 2 x570 all 8gb. ok so like a few days ago it crashed right and this is after a month of solid mining with no resets or reboots or crashes. so things that i have tried i replaced the psu with a 1200 watt seasonic prime which is more than enough, i also switched out mobo from a gigabyte h110 dm3 to a asrock  btc pro, i have tried lowering the clocks, i have tried mining on just the rx470s and the 570s all to no avail, the only thing i havent done yet is switch out all the risers i am waiting on mine to arrive which is tomorrow. but i highly doubt that will fix the issue as i am able to mine with phoneix miner but the hashrate is pretty shittty. i mean going from 191 mh/s to 90 something is unacceptable. so please any one some one please help i am open to any suggestions at this point.

Have you tried to DDU yet?

Hello everyone,

can you guys share with me your oc settings?

Mine is

GTX 1080
0core/1900mem/120W
getting average 37.5 MHs

GTX 1070 TI
0core/1250mem/105W
getting average 31.7 MHs

I am using linux (HiveOS). Windows uses another metric so it's hard to compare. Or do you know how to convert windows mem oc value to linux mem oc value? ;-)

im curious about your results, thanks.
