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

[melpheos]

I'm curious if anyone knows why GTX 1070 performance has dropped on Eth.  I still have a bunch of them on various Windows and Linux rigs.  They all easily hit over 30 MH/s in the past and many were in the 32-33 MH/s range.  Now, they are lucky to to hit 30 and many are 28-29.  This is the case with both Claymore (with and without strap settings) and Phoenix.   Oddly, my 8GB RX 580s still chug along happily at 30-31 MH/s (i.e. they don't seem to have been affected by whatever is responsible for slowing down my 1070s).

This is a known issue with nvidia unfortunately, the bigger the dag file, the slower they get. If not done already, increase the GPU OC (not memory)

Any way to have claymore work on windows 7 with more than 6 cards ?
If I enable my 7th card, claymore will crash on boot with a ntdll.dll error and I can't seem to find the option to ignore on of the card on the card detection at the start of claymore (if that was possible, I would run two instances)

finaly we should sell our 4GB graphic cards or we can mine ETH in future?

This is good idea , but how can you sell 50+ or 100+ those GPUs ?

for its weight ?

Ive switched for 8Gb in a couple of rigs but its so hard to find more or less convinient deal

Hello,

can't get this-strap to work for me, even with 1 RX580 Nitro + stock bios

It's set at Core 1100MHz/mem 2100MHz, both core and mem @950mV

Tried to set @ 1050/2050 @1050mV but stil crash immediately when it seems aplying the straps.

Here is whats i have:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
"C:\Users\Asus z270 prime\Downloads\Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0\EthDcrMiner64.exe" -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x7caccfc4bc206bd38bc079824fdcd6dbadc6.ASUS -r 2 -epsw x  -mode 1 -asm 2 -ftime 10 -di 0 -tt 75 -rxboost 1 -strap 1

What is wrong? I've tried every strap value from 1-6, with or without rxboost.

Driver where uninstalled and reinstalled from claymore using adminitrators right, DDU before or after, didn't worked also. Using the latest AMD driver.

with rxboost i get a decent 29MH/s with a stock bios, but seing people pushing more with the strap makes me frustrate...

Thanks in advance

no body say right that what we should do and also im not sure that mine with 4GB graphic cards will be imposible!

Did you try -asm 1 ? or just -rxboost 30 -strap 1@2000 ? or set your core clock to 1200? and use amd driver 19.4.3 ... that is what claymore used for testing

Can mine Ravencoin, or sell and then buy used 8gb cards.... or if high power cost get 5700XT??? Vega cards can get 50MH, so also good if get good price on them. You can use Phoenixminer to still mine (not good with the display card though...) on 4gb cards, and use claymore to still set -rxboost (set bogus pool on claymore......), or set the REF param with amdmemorytweak....

Well , i can sell 4gb GPU for $80-90. How many of it a have to sell to by one 5700XT ?  So certainly il stay on 4Gbs and will mine whatever i can.

Got it to work with amd driver 19.4.3!

Unfortunately, on 7 RXR80, the 3 first (Nitro +) are runnin g@ 30MH/S, DAG file created in 8000ms, and the rest of the cards are creating the DAG in 12000ms and a final hashrate of 20MH/S.

Compute mode is activated, one by one on amd drivers, didn't work(after reboot),
DDU, reinstall driver, using -Y 1 on claymore, same results.

It did one times work, but i got tons of error at first (millions) and then it didn't change.

I restarted the PC, then boom, same as before. I really don't understand that and i've never found somebody with the same issue.


Previously i was running bios mod  but it seems easier at first but now i waste more time trying to make it work than flashing the bios

[Sio34]

recently, on the miner, the hashrate jumps strongly

Did windows update the driver automaticly? i usually does it...Compute mode is quite painfull as you have to do it one by one and reboot amd dashboard after every card

Hello, i only got 22 Mh's with my nvidia 1070ti...
Is it normal ? What should i do for improve that ?

sell 4 cards to get 5700 xt. 5700 a lot more efficient, but a lot higher cost, gets 55-60Mh though. If power not expensive, just trade for 8GB 570s!!

Hello, i only got 22 Mh's with my nvidia 1070ti...

Should get around 30MH, need to increase memory clock with -mclock flag, or MSI Afterburner. If MSI afterburner, try +500

Sadly, it did not make any difference. Even with -100 core +1200 memory, we are still struggling between 26-28 MH/s. As others mentioned, the growth of the DAG size hits the core at the GTX 1070 series. We can make a little bit more when we take back a tad from the memory OC, but we push the core harder. It is still not the average 30-31 we got before the DAG increase.

Guys, could anyone please confirm my theory who also noticed a 15-17% loss in the past few months?

Thanks!

plain 1070 has hash decrease because of buggy nvidia drivers that they acknowledged.  1070ti however should get 32MH without any problems.

I had the same issue as you, I basically sold some of my 4GB models and added a few bucks and got the RX 470/570 8GB models instead. I looked at the newer GPUs or Nvidia and honestly its not worth it considering the long amount of ROI time you need to wait.

Most of the 8GB cards (except this month) were maybe $30-50 more than the 4GB models. So if you sold 5 of your 4GB cards you could of had an entire rig with 8GB models for only $200 more, rather than spending $500 on the latest and greatest GPU, not worth it.

In Dec when 4GB GPUs can no longer mine the difficulty will be half and it will pay itself off then. So the investment is worth it.

Increase core clock ! I use +200 and have 32Mh/s

You're only the second person I've seen that stated nVidia is aware of this issue and acknowledged it's a driver problem.  Can you share a link?
