The new features in this release are:

• Added support for mining with 4 GB AMD cards beyond the DAG epoch 350. Depending on the OS and driver versions, you will be able to use 4 GB AMD cards until epoch 372-373 under Windows, and 380 under Linux.
• Added new -dagrestart command-line option to work around the problems with DAG allocation on 4 GB AMD cards under some driver versions. See Readme.txt for more information.
• Added support for latest AMD drivers 20.4.2 under Windows and 20.10-1048554 under Linux
• Many other small improvements and fixes

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.0b.

ver 0.5b GPU 4gb can mine eth without parameter  -rvram 1.

Nice 

[commandera]

For me Blockchain driver from 4.9 , hash 201.025 oe less ,  the 5.0hash 200.040+ and sometimes up to 200,145 ( not much )

depend on driver i guess all my gpu 8gb

... and it will not stop mining ETC/ETH with 4GB AMD GPU after 10/65 days as opposed to Claymore miner.

Is there a way to apply custom timing like in Claymore, with "-strap" ?
I'm looking to switch from Claymore and this strap thing is the only thing that's holding me.

You should use AMD Memory Tweak (https://github.com/Eliovp/amdmemorytweak binaries are here compiled by me: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sgYugFgFq5Ja89DexDvwgvP1dtRO2d7A) and you will 100% sure get 1.0%-1.5% more hashrate than Claymore.

Unzip WinAMDTweak.zip to some folder XXX. Run Claymore with your best settings. After that run a command prompt window with Administrative privileges, navigate to WinAMDTweak.zip unzipped folder XXX using 'cd XXX' command and after that run:

WinAMDTweak.exe --current



You will see the current setting of Claymore. Something like this:
https://www.cryptoprofi.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/word-image-49.png

Copy/Paste them down in text file.
After that stop Claymore. Run WinAMDTweak.exe --...  with these settings and run Phoenixminer.exe after that with the  same -cclock -mclock -cvddc -mvddc parameters like Claymore.

If you have NVidia GPUs using -strap option leave them with Claymore using Claymore's -di option, and run Phoenix miner with all other AMD GPUs using PhoenixMiner's -gpus option. For example: 'PhoenixMiner.exe -gpus 135' will run PM on your first, third and fifth GPU. The GPU index starts from 1 not from 0 in PM and from zero not from 1 in Claymore.


Another more simple way (that works on Nvidia too) without WinAMDTweak.exe is to run Claymore (don't stop during mining) with your best settings, pause all the GPUs (by pressing the number keys from '0' to '9' or 'p' for all) and run Phoenixminer.

PhoenixMiner 5.0b is officially released. You can find the download link and the checksums in the first post of this thread. Don't pay attention to the 'b' - it doesn't mean beta, it just means the second release build of this version.

IMPORTANT! All owners of AMD cards with 4 GB VRAM must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.0b or later version to continue mining after DAG epoch 350 (i.e. about the start of June 2020 for ETC, and the middle of July 2020 for ETH).

The new features in this release are:

• Added support for mining with 4 GB AMD cards beyond the DAG epoch 350. Depending on the OS and driver versions, you will be able to use 4 GB AMD cards until epoch 372-373 under Windows, and 380 under Linux.
• Added new -dagrestart command-line option to work around the problems with DAG allocation on 4 GB AMD cards under some driver versions. See Readme.txt for more information.
• Added support for latest AMD drivers 20.4.2 under Windows and 20.10-1048554 under Linux
• Many other small improvements and fixes

Hi there guys I have vii radeon graffic card 16gb I use to have 2060 but upgraded to new vii. I use to able to use ethminer 0.18 but now on new card its says no OpenCL I have downgraded it still same.. I was mining ETC CLASSIC please help.. I did try phoenix miner using it I see my hash rate even on website but no balance at all please advise do I have to wait few days to see a balance ?

Is -mclock not working bug fixed for Polarises?

   -mclock is working for Polaris cards for all recent drivers (at least in the last year and half or so). There may be specific driver versions with problems but we are using both relatively old (18.2.1) and the latest driver and it works fine on both. Note that if the memory clocks are fixed in VBIOS when the BIOS was modded, this may prevent the miner from changing them. Remove the drivers with DDU, install newer driver (the latest 20.4.2 are OK so far), and see if the issue still remains. If so, send us a log file for the first several minutes of after the miner start (with private message, no need to post it here).

   Unfortunately we don't test much on Windows 7 any more, especially with such old drivers. We will try to identify the problem and fix it in the next release if it is fixable (i.e. not something caused by a driver bug preventing the big DAG buffer allocation).

[PhoenixMiner]

Here are some important tips for longest possible usage of 4 GB AMD cards with PhoenixMiner 5.0b:

• If your rig is using Intel CPU, use the integrated graphics as primary display adapter. To do this, go to motherboard's BIOS setup and change the "Primary display adapter" to iGPU (or integrated GPU). Also, if you are using actual monitor or HDMI plug, put it in the motherboard video output.
• If you can't use integrated GPU, replace the primary GPU with one with 6 or 8 GB VRAM.
• Do not upgrade to a new AMD driver unless it is explicitly supported by PhoenixMiner. With 4 GB AMD cards, this will not only lower your hashrate but it will make impossible to mine when the DAG epoch is above 350.
• After the DAG epoch becomes more than 350, the optimal -gt value for the 4 GB AMD cards may change. So, we recommend to run auto-tune again after DAG epoch 350 to find the best GT values for the cards.

After extensive testing of AMD Windows drivers for the last two years or so, we identified two broad groups of drivers:

• Good drivers. These are versions from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.4.2 (inclusive). These will allow you to mine until DAG epoch 372-373 and won't need restart of PhoenixMiner on each DAG epoch change.
• Not so good drivers. These are versions 18.1.1 to 18.10.1 (inclusive), and from 19.8.1 to 19.12.1 (inclusive). This will allow you to mine until DAG epoch 365-366 and will require restart of PhoenixMiner on each DAG epoch change (for these drivers this will be preformed automatically unless you have added -dagrestart 0 command-line option to explicitly disable the auto-restart).
• Drivers older than 18.1.1 were not tested for 4 GB DAG operation.

Under Linux all relatively recent drivers (i.e. last 24-36 months) allow mining until epoch 378-380 but there are much more driver bugs, so if you are happy with your current driver version, do not change it.

I just want to say thanks to Phoenixminer team for the hard work.
Glad to see you around again.

All working so fine with 19.11.3 but i listen you and you dont recommend this driver so i installed 20.4.2 but now -mclock not working on my RX5700XT (is ok with old RX580 but my hashrate is now 23mhs and 32mhs before)
> all are in auto-tune mode

Miner didn't support new AMD 20.5.1 driver.
