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

[scryptr]

Do you have any solution for me ? Are you on Linux ?

Why are 4gb cards to small for some people and some not?

I'm running Windows 10 and 4GB cards. Works like a charm.

0,5 GB left to allocate

Did you try to put one 1060/6GB or 1070/8GB as GPU 0? some ppl solved it that way

THE DAG IS SHARED--

As I understand it, the larger card (>4GB VRAM) is able to load the DAG and share it.  This results in the 4GB cards being able to process the DAG in pieces.  I believe all cards must be the same (AMD or nVidia).  I don't know if it works on both AMD and nVidia, even if all are the same. AND, I don't know if it works on both Windows 10 and Linux.  I think the shared DAG may be located in the Win 10 "virtual memory", where the virtual memory is more of a requirement than is "swap space" in Linux.

I have not tried it.  The end result is reportedly a lower overall hash rate.  I have never personally tested this, but others have posted about it in this thread and other ETH threads.  Do a search.

I have installed linux/Ubuntu but seems configuration is not correct. Can you please let me know configuration settings ?

Hi,

I just started using Claymore dual miner v15 version. but it keep disconnecting and restarting miner. Kindly help me that how can i get working miner.

I am using 1050TI. and following is error log:

<BIG SNIP>

GPU error, you need to restart miner

4GB CARDS ARE TOO SMALL--

If you are running Windows 10, the driver allocates a portion of the physical GPU memory to Windows.  This leaves less than 4GB for Claymore, or other mining programs.

Linux may be a solution, but not for very long.  Also, there are other more profitable algos for nVidia cards.       --scryptr

DO A SEARCH--

It takes a while to type out an exact description.  You could use a pre-built disk image like nvOC, or ethOS, or PiMP.  All have a learning curve, but nvOC is free.  There are newer mining OS builds that charge a percentage.  I have not used them all.

If you want a start for your DIY rig search, try "CryptoBadger", and another spot is in this link:

        link-"https://blockonomi.com/linux-cryptocurrency-mining/"

I have set up several mining rigs from scratch, but writing out instructions (that are already available on the web) takes almost as long.  Do a search or two, and read up.

Good Luck!       --scryptr

I am newbie here,same problem when using 6x 8gb RX570 ,running with Win10 64bit,120ssd ,8Gb memorry got problem gpu Dag problem.i have tested with my old hdd same setup with 500 gb sata hdd than no problem.all work fine with has rate.

May i get some advise from guys what is the best setting with the vitual memorry so i can use back my 120gb ssd

16 to 20gb virtual mem is more than enough
it should not throw a dag issue as the cards that you are using are more than capable to mine with 8gb ram

may i know set for virtual memory the figure is?
at win 10.sorry newbie not very good with those virtual memory at the custom size

Initial Size(mb)

LOLCAT-SPEAK--  

I like to answer questions when I know the answer.  Some miners are new and have honest questions.  But there is always a troll factor, it seems.

There are questions written in poor English, or perhaps in LOLcat-speak, and are they hard to decipher and poorly related to the thread (any thread) or at least the current context.  I truly don't know why some 4GB cards don't work on ETH, and some claims that they can be made to work seem curious.  8GB cards should work.  Further, 4GB cards are not 8GB cards.  From what I recall, "virtual memory" on Windows should equal the total VRAM of the rig.  And, 6 x 8GB equals 48GB.

Some miners should do their own research.  I don't use Windows, and ran Linux on 2GB ram with 6 x 8GB cards and no swap file.  It worked.

I have not written the book on mining, but I have read for a long time.  Please read first and ask better questions later.       --scryptr

EDIT:  CURRENTLY RUNNING 2X 4GB CARD RIGS ON LINUX--

I am currently running 2 rigs with 4GB cards only.  1 rig has 6x PowerColor Red Dragon 4GB RX 560 cards, no PCIe power socket, single fan.  They get (with mods) 14.6MH/s at about 50W each.  The other is a 4x Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 card rig.  They get (with mods) about 29.5MH/s at about 105W each.  The systems ran fine for months with 4GB system RAM and no swap file.  I recently increased the system RAM to 8GB so to mine Monero.  Hash rates and power use for ETH have not increased, but the CPU load is high.  I replaced Celerons, Pentiums, and i3s with i5s.  The overall wattage is nearly the same, as I always had some CPU mining going on.       --scryptr

try 36 or 42

How did you managed GTX560 get to work for mining?they dead for mining years ago.

With -r 1 and -minspeed XX option, miner restarts rig in loop when Internet connection is lost
Is here some command line option - don't reboot when no Internet connection?

Hello
I am using an 8x 1070 Nvidia rig, and my 7th (the last) board is sometimes mining a quarter of the other boards Mh/s.
Any idea why this is happening?

IT WAS A TYPO--

PowerColor manufactures AMD cards.  Apologies.  And, see Branko's threads about RX 560 cards, good info.       --scryptr

Hi, I have a question: I have a rig with some 4Gb and 8Gb amd RX 5xx cards.
When the size of the DAG file exceeds 4GB (next December), will it be necessary to replace the 4GB cards with 8GB models or since I have 8Gb cards will everything work?

[dirton]

"-powlim -40" option is not working in Win7 x64 on 1070ti at all. Absolutely no reaction to any values on this parameter in GPU-Z.

AT BEST THE HASH RATE WILL BE LESS--

That is why I have not even experimented with it.  There are reports of rigs with at least 1 8GB "lead" card able to mine with 4GB cards.  It is said to work, but not well.  The reports speculate that the 4GB cards process the DAG with the data stored in "virtual memory".

You will need to try it yourself.  My Linux rigs still work.  They have no swap files.  RX 4XX and 5XX cards earn only pennies a day currently.  If BTC rises to $20K, and ETH tracks along with BTC, it may be worth trying.       --scryptr

To Claymore.

Hello! Thank you for your work. Could you please answer why Miner Manager cant get info from miner in its window , though i can see miner console through "view miner console" (opens in browser) ?
I suppose it somehow deal with HTTP response from miner.

Best regards.

Could you please add this feature.

my rx 5700s are humming nicely at 50mhs each. but i wonder if they can pushed even further?

Same here... Getting 51+ at 107w per card. Hoping once the BIOS lock is removed, we can adjust mem timings, lower the clock and achieve similar performance with a lower power draw. Also, these Navi cards run cool so lower db's from the fan. Anxiously waiting...

Hi,

I seem to have landed into some trouble ever since I had installed an SSD (not MVME) M.2 on my win10 rig. I installed win 10 on the SSD and increased the virtual memory to more 32 GB in a drive which doesnt have the windows installed (D drive and not C).

However the Claymore miner keeps throwing an error

"At least 16 GB of Virtual Memory is required for multi-GPU systems"

I am not sure where things are going wrong and the worst part is the hashrate on my RX580 Sapphire Nitro + 8GB is only 11 MH/s which is extremely annoying. I have two RX580 and two 1060s. My 1060s for now do seem to be doing okay at 20Mh/s.

What am I not doing right? Has anyone experienced this before? or does someone know how to fix this?

Also, the fan crashes frequently and it doesn't spin.
Please help me out
