Hello Guys,
I'm still no0b in the GPU mining, so I'm not sure if my problem is SMOS or mining software related.
My rig consists of 1050TIs. When idle the core is at the default 1290Mhz. Once the mining (Ethereum - Ethminer or Claymore) starts, it jumps to 1733Mhz.
Even if I try to downclock it, the lowest I get is between 1506 and 1594 (every single card shows different value
), and I don't really need this for Eth, I would like to lower it down (even test below 1290) so I could raise more the memory. I've put the
power limit (watt) to 50, when loading it shows there are two options - 52 and 75 and it takes the 52 ... but I see from my power meter that it's still draining around 75.
So, any ideas how to lower the Core so I could raise even more the memory (due to the high core I'm at the limit of my PSU, and I could be gaining more with lower core/higher Memory, while spending less on electricity).
Do you think it's mining soft related (I see some strange message while loading -
Persistence mode activated), something in the 1050ti driver used by SMOS or else?
PS1: just saw in my screenshots from the Afterburner/Nicehash test I made before going deep in with Linux where my knowledge is 0
, that even with default values on some algorithms the core is 1290, and on another -1733 (unfortunately the screenshot is cut and I can't see the algos). So ... is there any way (I guess parameter in the mining script) to underclock more via Ethminer or Claymore ( I prefer the first cause no dev fee).
PS1a: mentioning no dev fee, did anyone had success adding it in SMOS?
PS2: However I definitely found a bug in SMOS, but once again, probably it's just for these cards. In order to under/overclock I need to type in the desired value multiplied by two. To raise the memory with 500 I'm putting in 1000. I'm really afraid if during some auto-update this gets solved, my miner can catch fire
!
edit: ok, just started getting a little deeper, seems that's not handled by the miner but by nvidia-smi, so guess we will need more ways to play with it via the dashboard ...
