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

[pr0ximus]

Hi guys,
as claymore stopped working i switched to phoenix mine 5.3b

At first everything was working.

I noticed the Google Meet icon appeared down at the right corner (maybe windows updated itself )

Im using Win 10 and sapphire rx580 8gb nitro+

Phoenix stopped working and also no other miner works atm. Lol, claymore etc..
All i see is NO CUDA Driver and then


Tried to reinstall AMD drivers - currently I'm using Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.1
Tried to disable Defender and i noticed i cannot add exclusuin folders anymore and also my exclusion folders that i added before are  gone from the exclusion list.

Should i try reinstalling windows if yes what win 10 version and amd rx580 driver combination to try?
I have 10X GPUS

Please advise.

Unfortunately, it could be due to some dll issue. Try this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4479631.msg40251658#msg40251658

Hello guys... I need some help here.

I switched my gpus (gtx 1070 8gb) to ETH after a long time, and what I see is some strange behavior. It seems that hashrate is low, and memory overclock doesn't have any effect.
What I was able to google out is that apparently when there is more than 50% of 1070's gpu memory utilized it starts to behave strangely. When I try mining ETC everything is normal (sure ETC have DAG size much lower, after fork).
So mining ETC I am able to get 33 MHs at 90W with underclock and undervolt core and overclocked memory as much as possible, while
mining ETH I get 28 MHs at 115W (overclocked nd undervolted core, little overclock on memory) ... you see my despair ... also mining ETH overclockin core have positive effect on hashrate, while overclocking memory doesn't have any impact - which is not normal for ethash.

It happens the same on windows or linux (hive os), the same on all miners (lol miner, phoenix miner, t-rex miner ...)

I was not able to find any solution to this.
So is there any workaround this issue?
Thanks for your help Wink Cheers

it is normal for the Nvidia Pascal GPU´s (all gtx 10x0) This cards slow down with every new DAG epoch, same HARDWARE bug as the AMD R9 290 and R9 390 had in the past.
So there is no solution. You can check this, if you benchmark ETH in Epoch 0 and Epoch 400 for example.

My P106 cards do 26mh at the beginning, now i am down to 24mh.

on ETH, my P106 cards still does 25.5mh  or above consistently. I'm using the latest driver and PM 5.3b. My settings are PL +78, TL +73, CC +165, MC +915, Fan @85. Each card draws around 93W power.

So will reinstalling latest windows + AMD drivers fix the issue?

Hello gentlemen,
I have a strange problem only with one rig. I'm using 5.3b and it runs only up to the point where I get the NO CUDA driver found than just stops. Tried running in most basic settings but nothing seems to work. Has anyone come across this? Meanwhile claymore 15 with exactly the same settings runs just fine.
Rig is running with 8x sapphire 570 8GB nitro+, 110GB virtual memory, 4gb ram, i5-7400.
Last setting:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool XXXX -ewal XXXX -eworker XXXX -epsw XXXX -ftime 10 -cclock 1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200 -mclock 2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150 -cvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -mvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -tt 60 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 95
pause
Please help!
EDIT sorry I just read the above messages I'm having the same problem like the previous post!

Yes. Just 'reset' the windows rather than reinstalling. Hopefully that would solve your issue, as it did for me.

You could follow the same solution I posted as well and try your luck.

[bishkot]

Looks like its not me the only one.

Will resetting keep my installed software programs? Will it keep files on drive C where my windows is installed?

Will give it a try
Many thanks

I started having the same problem 2-3 nights ago. I updated the drivers and it fixed the problem

[zergbitcore]

I get the NO CUDA driver found than just stops

You need to add "-amd" start option, for example:

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -amd -pool XXXX -ewal XXXX -eworker XXXX -epsw XXXX -ftime 10 -cclock 1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200 -mclock 2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150 -cvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -mvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -tt 60 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 95

You need to add "-amd" start option

tried "-amd" in .bat file already - no effect.
it was working great earlier without "-amd"

[zergbitcore]

It is strange... For me it was never working well without "-amd" option. After you add this option miner does not try to find cuda devices and will not print the error message about cuda devices.

PhoenixMiner suddenly stopped working after I updated the nvidia drivers to version 460.79

Nothing happens, no error messages, it just shows CUDA version, GPUs and exists:

Hi all. Somebody knows  how can I automate it to mine to a different ETH address at certain intervals without restarting the program?

Did you try command-line instead of PowerShell?

[pedja1]

Yes, same problem
I worked before I updated rivers, i also tried rebooting, still not working

I also tried t-rex, just to make sure, but it doesn't work also, so I think its either something with the newest drivers, or with my drivers install. Ill try to reinstall drivers

Everything works correctly on my 1060 rig, with the older drivers

This however is my main PC, but since I have 3070, though why not mine with it when I'm not using it....

[Jimb0]

My problem was with the latest Windows built update. Phoenix would not start no matter the version or the drivers but after going back to the previous built everything is ok.

It seems 460.79 is not good driver:

I have a problem (it might be just the size of the VRAM, but I want to make sure).
I start the latest PhoenixMiner with the regular parameter (just wallet, pool, worker name and rvsize to -1).
It works for some minutes at quite high hashrate - about 30 MH/s at about 106W power.
After those minutes (vary from 5 to 15), it drops to 15 MH/s and the power drops to 88W.

The card is an RX570 with 4 GB of RAM.
Is this due to the DAG size?
Did anyone see this behavior before?

yes my friend it is DAG unfortunatly. you can test same setting etc to see your speed.
