Hello
Default GPU index number start with #1 in Phoneix miner.
How can I change is as #0
There is no option to change it however if you use the legacy Claymore options, they will work as expected - i.e. with zero-based GPU indices. For example:
-gpus 1 and
-di 0 will have the same effect - will only enable mining on the first GPU. While we, as programmers, find the 0-based indices quite natural, most people don't and we prefer to keep the things simple whenever possible.
19.9.1 driver AMD released... People writes that on Navi good speed on eth with them...
Waiting miner update...
The new version is coming within a few days. We are performing some additional tests with the new driver because it changed the behavior of Navi cards beyond the fixing of the TLB issue.
hi,
any idea when 4.6 comes out ?
i really cant wait, this mem clock issue is driving me nuts.
thanks.
We will send you a PM as per your PM the problem won't be fixed by simply ignoring the VBIOS reported limits.
Windows 10 strikes again. It uses quite a bit of GPU VRAM for its own internal needs. Here is the list of possible solutions in order of increasing dificullty:
* You have to add the following command-line options in order to minimize VRAM usage: -rvram -1 -eres 0
* Usually Windows 10 grabs memory only from the GPU that is connected to a display, so connect your display (or the display plug) to the iGPU of the motherboard (if you are using Intel motherboard). On multi-GPU rigs, you can also put an old (unusable for mining) GPU and connect the display to it.
* The heavy-duty solution is to switch to Linux but it has its own problems. This will buy you about 5-9 additional months of operation until the DAG grows too big to fit in 4 GB VRAM.
Note for Linux users: the latest AMD Linux driver (19.30-855429) is not supported by PhoenixMiner 4.5c. For now, stick with 19.30-838629. We will release 4.6 shortly (in a week or two), and it will contain some goodies for Linux, including advanced hardware stats, and hardware control for AMD cards.
-rvram -1 -eres 0 ==> only last about a week not 5-9 additional months and is no longer working.
Please HELP! Yes, these options won't buy you much time. We never said that - if you read the original message, the best solution is to use Linux, which doesn't hog GPU memory like Windows 10 does. However, we recognize that this may be quite impractical, especially if the machine is not a dedicated mining rig. So, your best bet is to either use the integrated GPU (if you are using an Intel CPU) as primary GPU (i.e. connected to a display), or "sacrifice" one of the GPUs and use it as primary GPU, and run the miner on the rest, which shouldn't be affected by the problem.
I'm getting these errors with 4.5c on 8x p106 rig :
NVAPI error in NvapiWrapper.c:445 : -6
Unable to load NvAPI: error 3
Eth: the pool list contains 1 pool (1 from command-line)
Eth: primary pool: eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444

GPU6: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 458752
GPU7: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 524288
GPU8: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 589824
After these errors , Miner seems work like 4.2c
Any idea ?
The NVAPI error is caused by Nvidia drivers refusing to allow the overclocking interface (NVAPI) to work on your cards. Maybe a driver issue - we can't reproduce it here. You can try plugging a display in at least one of the Nvidia cards because the Nvidia drivers are known to throw a fit sometimes when no Nvidia card is actually connected to a display (or display plug). The lack of NVAPI support doesn't affect the mining but will disable the hardware control options like setting the clocks, power limits, etc.
