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

[j2james]

Dear @PhoenixMiner,

Is it possible to detect which card initiates error (for example error 999) and somehow log this info?

It will help to setup overclocking parameters of cards if I will know which one has initiated a problem.

Now log when error is thrown looks like the following

Code:

It tells nothing about which card was the first.

Please, add this info in log if it is possible.

Thanks

These are the settings I used with Claymore. Will these work with Phoenix Miner? I am currently mining with Phoenix but getting slightly lower results.

Rig has 13 GPUs with six RX580 and seven 1070 TI cards. All 13 are mining at 31.0 - 31.2 mh/s. I used to get 33 mh/s with the 1070 ti cards in Claymore. So I would like to tweak it but am not familiar with the Phoenix Miner command options.

Here's a typical Claymore batch file for one of my rigs. There's 13 GPUs per rig: 7x1070ti and 6xRX580. All cards have 8GB RAM:

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

Can Phoenix use similar commands?

I got to ask. Is it true that all cryptos are contributing to mass global warming in the world? just wondering.. 

1 car can deliver to atmosphere more than 500gpu heat can.and also car has co2 exhaust too which adds more heat

[Cryptomining2003]

I can confirm higher power usage, but it´s not since 5.4c, it started with 5.3.

pls do some optimization...for 5700 cards, there´s no need to change anything for getting same hashrate with higher power consumption

[DroneFlyer]

Does PhoenixMiner support dual mining Ethereum  together with Handshake
(HNS)?

[bobben2]

Can confirm that an RTX 3060 TI  (MSI Ventus 2) reaches almost 60MH/s mining ETH with this miner, with latest driver (457.51) and Windows 10.
In MSI Afterburner I dial in  powerlimit of 62%,  which leaves GPU core running at around 825 MHz. and I have mem overclocked to 7800.
Temp reported in MSI AB is 53 deg, fan auto at 53%.   Power consumption reported by miner is 123Watts.

Phoenix,

Just an update on this issue:  v5.3b seems to be moving in the right direction - all of my GPUs mine, now, but they each see about 18MH less hashrate on v5.3b versus what I still get on v5.0e.  Again, with this version, downgrading to v5.0e resolves the issue without rebooting.  If it's helpful, the starting hashrate for v5.3b during autotuning is only about half of what it is in v5.0e.  I hope this helps.

I wanted to report an issue I ran into on v5.2e for mixed-gen ETH mining on one XFX RX 5700 8GB + one XFX RX 480 8GB + one MSI RX 480 8GB on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (via minerstatOS) with amdgpu-pro v19.30 drivers.  When I upgraded to v5.2e, I saw my RX 5700 take approximately an hour to build its DAG file, and then yield 0 hashrate, and the two RX 480s only produced about a third of their normal hashrate.  I previously saw the same behavior with all PhoenixMiner v5.1x versions, as well.

Rolling back to v5.0e immediately resolves the issue without a reboot.  I have used a few versions of the PhoenixMiner for about ten months on this mixed-gen rig without issue, so this has been something introduced after v5.0e.  In case it's any help, I am including a few log excerpts, though I never saw any suspicious messages or error logs to report.

v5.2e log (note the miner uptime versus the DAG generation progress)

Still seeing these issues on v5.4b and v5.4c.  On mixed rigs, I see Navi cards running at 2/3 hashrate and RX 480 8GB cards running at 1/3 hashrate.  Rolling back to v5.0e fixes the issue without rebooting.

I'll hang around for a week or so until DAG epoch 384, when v5.0e dies off.  Then, one way or another, I'll stop posting about this.

Can confirm that an RTX 3060 TI  (MSI Ventus 2) reaches almost 60MH/s mining ETH with this miner, with latest driver and Windows 10.
In MSI Afterburner I dial in  powerlimit of 62%,  which leaves GPU core running at around 825 MHz. and I have mem overclocked to 7800.
Temp reported in MSI AB is 53 deg, fan auto at 53%.   Power consumption reported by miner is 123Watts.

When you trolls say the temperature, is always important to say the ambient temperature, when I say ambient temperature, is the temperature outside your house.

Things are relative here.  My RX 5700 do 10% lower hash but with same power.  I like to keep my cards at below 60 deg reported.
Room temp is 23-24 a bit warm

[doctorman]

3060 Ti here - works well, unless...

- I set max overclock at start (only incorrect shares are generated - I need to start lower and increase)
- Epoch changes (same result as above)

Please fix.

Same Issue here
using the November drivers still  to avoid the issues...

Please look into the RTX 3060 ti issue with this

It runs beautifully  at 63.4 MHs with low power 130W once it starts at low mem clock , but if you start with higher mem clock it gets many invalids.

So I'm not the only one here having this problem
I have an Asus 3070 and I can reach 61 Mhs without any problem, but if I increase my overclock before start the miner, I have almost all invalid shares, but if I increase slowly with miner running, no problem, until the next epoch when I have all invalid shares again

I'm wonder here if this is really a problem with drivers and miner or just too much overclock, now I'm using + 1099 on memories and only 1% of invalid shares

I Hope @Phonexminer takes a look and give us an idea what is the issue,  Maybe the miner can set the mem clock down at start and before each EPOCH  and then set it back up.
Please help us get more out of the RTX 3060 ti  please

Its there just in /opt/miners/phoenixminer
do a ls in there and you will see itunder folder /PhoenixMiner_5.4c_linux

just have to copy the file up a directory level and will fix it.

will need to do a chmod +x on the miner file after copy
