PhoenixMiner 4.2c is the new stable release. You can find the download link and other information in the first post of this thread. If you have already downloaded and installed it, there is no need to do this again - there is no change from 4.2c that was published as a beta version.

-clkernel 3 gives me 31.4MHs on RX 470 8Gb, 31.3MHs without. Is this normal ?

   The speedup from the turbo kernels (-clkernel 3) is dependent on the memory timings and the way memory controllers work, so it is possible that the speedup can be small. In such case be sure to check the power consumption because if it is higher without much increase in hashrate, the normal AMD kernels might be a better choice.

this info is wrong/outdated?
will really works for Nvidia cards?

   Yes, -lidag does work on Nvidia cards but unfortunately not so effectively as on AMD cards. Still, it is worth a try if you have instability during DAG generation.

Many thanks, PhoenixMiner!

Please, could you realise -tt function in Linux? It is most importantly for me and i think to all.

   It is in the TODO list since quite a while, and we hope to have it working in the next version.

Hi, PhoenixMiner!

Thank for new version. I tested it for a while and did not find any improvements at least on P104 gpus. kernels 2 & 3 perform mostly the same. (linux, driver 418)
btw, miner reports cuda runtime v8.0. what about building against v10.0? can it give improvement?
the second question about adding support for switching to Zilliqa. It will be interesting even with higher devfee.

   With current profitability many miners runs their cards optimized for power consumption instead of maximum hashrate. If your cards are hitting the power limit, the new kernels will allow them to run at higher clock speed with the same power consumption. If the power limit is high enough and the cards don't hit it, they will run at the same speed (or slightly higher) but with lower power consumption (about 1-1.5% on average).

Hello developer thanks for the PM 4.2.c, if possible in the next version of PM Zilliga and Ravencoin please 

   We can't promise anything at this point as new coins and algorithms are created literally every day. Once we are done with the features that are requested since a long time ago, then definitely something like this is on our list.

yes, cards are power limited, but by value that reduces speed just a little bit. I will try to play with PL. thanks for advise.

He asked about drivers needed for AMD cards - blockchain, latest or specific version.
I'm answered that I'm always use latest AMD drivers for my RX 580 cards. If miner support this latest drivers, speed is always the same. No speed drops from all drivers from blockchain to latest 19.3.2.

Hey dev,

I cant get the miner to bench bci

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -coin bci -bench amd

The benchmark runs to ETH instead, which works fine

Hi, how can i start Phoenix miner with exe file like Claymore not with bat file.
In Claymore i use exe file to start miner with configured config file.
I need to start with exe because 3rd pary software.

Thanks

Hello, Developer PM miner !
There's a new dual mining method described
Zilminer based on original ethminer works with your dualminer, but it hangs up somitemes while switching miners.
Maybe is it possible to dual mine Zilliqa in dualminer PM 4.3.?  

Implementing ZIL mining in Phoenixminer new version dual will be great
Dear developer PM , I hope you will think about it

Dual ETH/ZIL would be enough to make me happy That would be great!

[biospb]

@PhoenixMiner, also please take a look on MTP algo. It looks very promising last few month but existing miners are very unstable especially for AMD cards. just a hint.

[Digital_Seytan]

Can someone help me ? I am using latest 4.2c on ubuntu and 6xRX580s . when I load the miner, GPU1 cannot load DAG because it only has 2.8G VRAM. How do I fix this ? Is there a way for me to use the onboard graphics  instead so it doesn't use my GPU?

-gpus <123 ..n> Use only the specified GPUs (if more than 10, separate the indexes with comma)

[biospb]

tested with wattmeter - v3 kernels on P104 work exactly as v2.

use ubuntu server version, you won't use graphics at all

[bategojko74]

This could be a result from setting power limit with msi afterburner or other tool. Start decreasing the power gradually and you will find that at some percentage v2 will first drop performances a little bit but v3 will not at that percent.

[copper.beagle]

Wow. That's all I can say.

I'm new to mining, and just tried this out.  Instant 10% increase in my poolside hashrate, and my poolside hashrate average is actually higher than my client side reported hashrate at times, all without any stale shares.  This was well worth the dev fee.

Now to try and play with some of the other settings.
Thanks!

@PhoenixMiner: I started using version 4.2c this week. But the hashrate was much more unstable than before. Now I'm using the previous version again.

If you have nvidias add -mi 10 to your settings and it will work like previous version

Thanks for your reply but I've got rx570. Does this setting help here, too?
