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

[starmax]

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Thanks! It Works!

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

You need 4Gb more system RAM (i use 8Gb) for build module. amdgpupro-20.30+ may allocate dag file over 4gb, tested on phoenix -bench 390 on RX580 8Gb (4.15 Gb allocated...), mining without errors but hashrate unstable, TRM more stable with this driver version.

I tried 20.10 and 20.20 and both gave same result. It locks up during building initial module:(

Around 2nd December 2020, so I guess soon (2-3 epochs from now) 4GB card's owners will need to find another ethash coin to mine until we can mine ETC again. Any recommendations guys? Maybe if we switch together into one coin we can bump up the price a bit

My 470s and 570s 4GB still mining at the same speeds with current epoch 370. I guess I'm lucky

Hello! Every of my RX 580 8Gb drop in hashrate by ~3 Mh on epochs over ~380 on 5.1c. Windows, drivers 19.20. Is it considered normal?? And if yes, will it be fixed??

Windows 10, latest 20.10.1 drivers. Epochs #380 and #381 no hashdrops on my rx 580 8Gb cards with PM5.1c.

You sure you need that much system memory for Ubuntu? I remember a few years back I was building rigs during the profitable days of 2017 mining and I found myself run out of system ram on my last rig. Basically had everything except 2GB sticks of ram, system only had 2GB. So I tried Claymore and at the time the DAG was maybe 2.5-3.0GB or so and it wouldn't work.

I decided to try out Ubuntu and see if it will work with only 2GB of ram, figured I had nothing to lose. So I tried it and it actually worked. Was able to mine on 2GB of system RAM on a DAG larger than 2GB. So it might be possible to mine with 4GB of ram as long as its Linux instead of Windows.

8Gb system memory need only for build last amdgpu module (20.10, 20.20, 20.30, 20.40), mining working with 2Gb but i have 4Gb modules on other my rig's.

I am not following what the DAG has to do with building the initial module as how would the driver's know you are mining. Many other software suites use opencl/compute besides mining?

I'm just talking about the fact that when assembling the next new amdgpu module on my PC with ubuntu, the build process ended with an error, after looking at the build log, I will see a message that the system memory is not enough, I was surprised, but after increasing the amount of RAM on this PC the module compiled.
About the dag file. the amd drivers had a restriction on creating a buffer in memory of more than 4GB, and since driver version 20.30 there is no such restriction, I checked it personally on version 20.30 and PhoenixMiner-5.1c with the -bench 390 parameter.

Has anyone received the error Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61).
