PhoenixMiner 2.8c is officially released. Note that there are changes since 2.8b, so if you are running 2.8b, you should upgrade to this version. Here is the full list of changes since 2.7c (the last official release):

  • New kernels for all supported AMD GPUs, providing higher hashrate and lower percentage of stale shares. The new kernels are used by default for AMD GPUs. You can also revert to using the old kernels with -clnew 0
  • When using the new kernels, the mining intensity is 12 by default instead of 10
  • The mining intensity range is now up to 14. Use high -mi only with the new AMD kernels as for the other kernels the stale shares will increase too much
  • Small CUDA kernel stability improvements that also may (very) slightly increase the speed of Nvidia cards
  • CPU utilization during normal operation is lowered by about a factor of 10 regardless of the number of GPUs
  • Added support for -tstop and -tstart options to stop mining on given GPU if the temperature rise above specified value and restart it after it cools down below -tstart temperature
  • Fixed the problem with console window freezing after scrolling
  • Implemented new -gpow n option to lower the GPU utilization (default: 100, the value is the desired GPU utilization in percent)
  • Implemented the -li option to lower the intensity (use this instead of -gpow if you are already using -mi with low values)
  • Improved GPU speed statistics, using moving average window for each GPU. You can change the size of the window with the -gswin option (5-30 seconds; default 15; use 0 to revert to the old way of using 5 second "quants" which are independent of each other)
  • Specify GPU number above 9 by typing three-digit sequence at the console (e.g. type 011 to pause or resume GPU11)
  • Other small improvements and changes
  • Added support for the miner_getstat2 remote monitoring request

We are now working on 2.9, which will include new CUDA kernels for Nvidia GPUs and other improvements.

Sample .bat file for those new to egem.  Cool
Code:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool pool.egem.io:8008 -wal 0xb85150eb365e7df0941f0cf08235f987ba91506a -worker WORKIT

Hardware control options (AMD cards only; use comma to specify different values for each GPU):
  -tt <n> Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
     1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)

Setting -tt 4 as per the quote above, only shows the GPU Temp and fan speed line every 120 seconds. Is the same possible for the GPU hashrate stats lines?
  No, the speeds are shown every 5 seconds or so. If there is enough requests for such feature, we can add it.

Running 2.8b, One of my GPU's after finding a share its hashrate drops to 0.0mh, it starts at >30mh then as soon as a share is submitted with that particular card it drops out.  I have two models of this card, same memory, both with stable overclock.  One runs fine with 2.8b, the other has the issue.  I have tried changing my -mi for that specific card lower and the problem persists.  Running previous PM versions the card runs fine.  Is there a way within the same prompt to individually designate which kernal a specific card runs on?  If so is there an example config for my bat?
  You can use the -clnew 0 to revert to the old kernels. If you want to use the old kernels on specific GPUs only, use -clnew 1,1,0,1,1 for example to use the old kernels on the third GPU on a five GPU rig. Note that there are some changes in the new kernels in 2.8c, which may solve the problem with the hashrate drop after found share. Also note that -clnew is only available in 2.8c (not in 2.8b).

"-eres 0" no work.. cuda error persist (same on claymore) for gtx 1060 3gb.....any solution?
   -eres 0 was always going to be just a temporary solution. The real solution is to switch to Windows 7, which reserves less than 5% of the GPU memory unlike Windows 10. This is a long-standing problem with Windows 10 and despite the numerous requests from users, it is unlikely that Microsoft will resolve it. Note that some miners report success with Windows Server but we haven't tested this personally.

Hi. Excellent miner! The very good work. I used Claymore before, but new versions of Claymore beginning from 11.0 work not fine on my NVIDIA rig (some people say the same). Las good worked version is 10.6, but even this one sometime works bad Sad I tried to use PhoenixMiner and I like what I can see for now. It is very strange, but hashrate in PhoenixMiner is more then in Claymore! I need some time to see the result in pool statistics.

Can you add some little feature? I use good android app Claymore's Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clay.ua to see how my rig work and some information is absent in PhoenixMiner which is present in Claymore. Can you provide information by which card share was found? Something like what claymore does in log:

ETH: 03/14/18-14:13:14 - SHARE FOUND - (GPU 0)

Thank you!
   We print the GPU which finds the share in the log and in the console like this (in this instance GPU1 has found the share):
Code:
Eth: GPU1: ETH share found!
Eth: Share actual difficulty: 2364 MH
Eth: Share accepted in 52 ms

hey dev, i suggest you not to follow claymore's path such as increasing intensity, lowering cpu load or whatever he makes in his miner.

its getting unstable.
   The new kernels should be more stable as this was one of our design goals. You can use -mi 10 to get the same intensity as before, or revert back to old kernels with -clnew 0

Perhaps folks can possibly help me as I'm stumped:
Few months back, I was getting an average of 240-250mhs with my 8 card rig.  Same Bios and setup at the time. 
As of recently though I'm averaging about 18-19 per card with one random gpu showing 30ish. 

I've tried to reinstall windows, turn off auto updates (heard that fall creators update can slow the hashes down). 
I tried the blockchain drivers, was pushing 150mhs for the same 8 card rig, and installed the new adrenaline drivers and enabled compute (that's where I got that extra 10mhs with the one random card).

I thought the difficulty went up and that's why they were running worse, but I'm reading people are still pulling about 30mhs with their Powercolor Red Devil RX580's 8GB models.  (I have 16 with hynix memory and 12 with micron memory.  Both groups have modded bios, which before allowed them to each run around 28-30mhs each). 

Any insight as to why they would've dropped?  I picked Phoenix Miner because I've heard good things about them, and the lower dev fee. 

Here is a pic of one of the 8 rigs for example:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlavivnwdfy7fkj/MHS.PNG?dl=0
   Have you turned on Compute mode on all cards? It is on card-by-card basis, unfortunately there is no way to turn on the compute mode for all cards at once, so you have to do it one by one. The difficulty has nothing to do with your hashrate, so this is not the reason for the slower speed.

When this happens, what do you guys do?

   Check the overclock settings on GPU2 as it seems that the problems start from there.

the 2.8b is not creating logs when you put it on the schedule tasks on windows to start automatically, it creates the log only when you click on it manually. Strange behavior.

You should place link to bat file in autostart menu. Bat file you can place to folder where phoenix miner is placed and set for link to this but file current directory to directory where this bat file is placed.

I used to do that. There are things that only windows task manager can do and that is why I use it, by the way thanks.

In help file of 2.8c -tstop and -start are placed inside section "for AMD cards only". I hope it is by mistake? Will it work on NVIDIA cards or no?

PhoenixMiner 2.8c doesn't report Hashrate when I'm mining with HTTP GetWork through local eth-proxy.exe
I tried to set -rate 1 param but no effect.

Here is my cmd-line:
PhoenixMiner.exe -amd -coin eth -gwtime 50 -rate 1 -pool http://192.168.10.12:8090/rig1

My one wish is that these fear monger morons would go away and stop posting these
ridiculous virus detection screen shots.

Go away morons.

Appeal to the developers. Can you cancel devfee for coins that are not currently listed? Switching dag files can lead to a crash and change of settings -eres / -lidag this problem is not solved (

2.8c has all but removed all stales i get reported on screen.

vega 64 impact, no difference in terms of speed mh wise from 2.8b.(ratio of found shares does seem to be lower though when looking at all shares found across all gpus in rig)

fury x the reported hash rates are more level but spikes to higher hashrates are gone. I was getting an avg 35.2 mh on them with spikes to 40.(2.8b) now avg is 34.5 with no spikes. 2.8c

thanks for PM

No. It will not work with NVIDIA cards.

Are you sure? I'm not. Because miner allows to disable mining on any card. Miner also knows card temperature. So I cannot see the problems to stop mining on the card when temperature limit will be reached, and start again when start temperature will be reached.

If it works that's great.
I'm pretty sure without having to reread this entire thread that Phoenix has always said they couldn't control those types of settings for
the NVIDIA cards. But, maybe they can read the temps and voltages but not set them for those cards.
Someone may could answer this best or read the entire thread to see if that is the case.

Phoenixminer I have a question, when you start phoenixminer and ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.x.x? the screen and the operation are very similar, is the basis of phoenixminer software the same as ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.x.x? .

==================================================================================

Phoenixminer 2.8.c works very well less stale shares, I use nvdia gpu so far I was very satisfied with version 2.6 which gave higher stale shares. thank you for this good miner software.

using software with devfee like claymore or pheonix is useless since ethminer has same hashrate and is free !!
