PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

[phucktum]

please miner freinds help to set up my rig. im new in phoenix miner. my cards running slow especially rx570 giving 26mhs. it was giving 30mhs on claymore. here is bat file, what can i add and remove.
Thank you everybody.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -wal 3KPDtEhehBkrgKbXhTx4pZ86n8hgbNyy4E -pass x -proto 4 -stales 0 -cclock 1170 -cvddc 920 -mclock 2070,2070,2010,2070,2070,2070,2070 -mvddc 920 -mt 1 -mi 11

1) You should download the soft amdmemtweak(cli version). Put soft to the same miner folder and right-click at the application->properties->compatibility->click run as administrator.
2) put the command: "amdmemtweak.exe  -i 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 -ref 30"  under the command "setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100"
3) Otherwise you should lower cclock to 1140/1150 (for 570.8gb) or 1100 (for 4gb cards); cvddc lower to 830-875; mclock to 2025; mvddc to 810-830.

Hope you have desirable hashrate with low power.

Thanks for help
All cards are 8g. REF 30 only giving 480 30.5Mhs and 570 giving 26.5Mhs, it is too low compared to claymore. if i go below 920volts my cards crashes or i get alot incorrect shares. 2060-2070 memory i best i can get till now. How people get 800mv and run these cards? there must be something i missed, Claymore not working anymore and no updates from him. Phoenix how i can get good results? How? AMD mem tweak does the job if you play with timings but im not expert in timings, how to set timing on AMD mem tweak? i tried get straps from claymore and i got them. but as soon as i apply it rig crashes restart.

Uh. If all your cards are 8gb, you can use Claymore with newer or newest or even blockchain beta amd driver. Put the command -strap 1 and -rxboost 1 to your config file. Claymore will auto-finding the best suitable timing strap for each card on-the-fly. And this time you can try lower cclock,cvddc,mvddc to achieve lowest power.

Has anyone been able to get Phoenix working on Ubuntu?  I have it working however I cannot get the AMD pro driver's installed so it will not recognize any GPUs

I am using ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless and it locks up at 96% on  Building initial module for 5.4.0-42-generic....any ideas?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 and ive tried the 20.30 and 20.40 drivers

Thanks

$ sudo ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute
$ sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
$ sudo reboot

Thanks
Are you using regular Ubunto or server?

I tried it and same, locks up Building initial module.

I am using Ubuntu Desktop booting from a USB, maybe that is my issue...

hi
my rx580 8gb stop mining ETC at #379 epoch (4GB DAG size) in win10 & PhoenixMiner 5.1c
but still work ETH at #368 epoch.
my driver is Crimson Beta for Blockchain.
i dont have any problem in linux but some rigs work in win10.
any suggestion?
 

Good drivers. These are versions from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.8.1 (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).

Your 8GB RX580 should be able to mine ETC without issues though, even with Blockchain drivers.

but my 8gb rx580 stop mining ETC...
the problem is PhoenixMiner 5.1c!!!
this miner dosen't support after #379 epoch (4GB DAG size) in win10.
any one can mine ETC in win10 with 8gb gpus on PhoenixMiner or claymore now???

You have to use ubuntu 18.04 and 20.20-1089974 drivers. Command line sudo ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute is wrong and deprecated in new drivers. You have to use sudo ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy --headless

This is only on old drivers like blockchain. On new drivers like 20.4.2 there is no such problem. On my 8Gb polarises Phoenix miner normal mines on DAG #380.

Is it fine to use Ubuntu desktop booting from a USB and not installing?

Thanks

Mr Phoenix please improve miner like adding strap option.

How about reading the documentation? It is all there.

yes, but a Vega 64 with the strap option in Claymore can go up to 44 Mh/s, while using the Phoenixminer -mt option it can hardly reach 40 Mh/s

Hmm, my vegas 64 doing 49Mh/s just fine with phoenix...

yes. this is the correct number.

Can the Vga Rx 580/570 be faster like yours 44mh/s even 49mh/s?
Mine can only go up to 35mh/s and even 39mh/s but this doesn't work smoothly, sometimes the speed changes to 0mh/s.
any suggestion?

Hello, someone know how change to compute mode IN WINDOWS 7 ? AMD's drivers doesnt have this opion in window 7, and i hae windows 10 and really dont have time to put again this rubbish. Idont have problems with phoenix in other rig with only 8 GB cards, but i have a rig with 4 GB and have problems. SO i need the 18.X driver, but W7 dont allow me changed the mode.

It's not possible on Windows 7. Only in Windows 10.

yes we can. wait... what?

ok. I think "580/570" should be ignored in your text, then it can be answered.
to make vegas run at 50MH you can do powerplay to set low volts and then do amdmemtweak to get better timings.

How to switch ETH to ETC?
i could mine ETH but not etc. i use PhoenixMiner 5.1c.

Any solution ?


Thanks

-coin etc if you mine with Nicehash

or https://etc.nanopool.org

Anyone know the Free VRAM on a 4GB card running Linux?  Right now I am barely hanging on with Windows on my 4GB cards:
Free VRAM: 3.948 GB; used: 0.052 GB

Was wondering if Linux allocates less, but was hoping someone already using Linux could validate that before I go to the effort of installing a new OS.

Thanks!

Linux uses less than half

Rig with 4xRX570 4GB and 2xRX580 4GB. Windows 10, drivers 20.4.2
Since yesterday RX580 stopped mining, RX570 continue to mining.
Is there a solution to the problem under Windows?

Code:

GPU1: Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-4).
Fatal error detected. Restarting.

[UnclWish]

AMD released 20.10.1 drivers. Anyone tried already them with PM?

Lolminer released a new miner that has a workaround at the expense of diminishing hashrate. Each epoch I believe the hashrate falls off about 12% or something like that. Basically the age of the 4GB cards (and ASICs) has come to an end. ETC will switch over to a smaller DAG in an upcoming block so you can always switch over to that but don't expect anywhere near as much revenue.

[Lukke]

Does Phoenixminer plan the same as the Lolminer? So mining will be possible with a reduced speed until February 2021? Btw, WHEN is ETC going to cut the DAG size? Is there any supposed date for this? Thanks!

TeamRed miner supports 4Gb extra mining too.

If i use -mt, do i need to use amdmemtweak too? or i have to choose only one?

Because with -mt 2 i get 44,4Mh with 180W

thanks
