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

[SirDruid]

hi. could anybody help me with this issue: Are the lower gt values for faster performance? I have 6 5700xt from the same company but each time I run phoenix miner it initializes them with different gt values from 23 to 59.iwana know which is better and faster for my cards 23 or 59? I should point out that in phoenix miner 5.1c I had experienced gt numbers from 6 to 10 but in the last version, I had the numbers 23 to 59!

GT value is not one way, going higher or lower from the optimum value will decrease the hash rate and may cause instability. Leave it on auto tune as recommended.

but why does it allocate different numbers to the same GPUs with the same hardware (risers, cables, and PSU)? I know with epoch changing the gt value may change each time but for the same GPUs, it should be the same! here comes my question that which gt value is better for my cards? should they really be different that much for the same GPUs(a number from 23 to 59 is a huge range I think)?

Hi

Remember the "silicon lottery" even same GPU from same model and brand may have different performance on the field, I have also 3 Sapphire Pulse Rx 5600 XT. With the same settings the have almost same Mhs per second but each one have different power consumption (lower is 92W and arround 45º C, and the other 2 arround 105W and above 55ºC)

So in conclusion, not all the components have the exact same performance, and GT values is one of this specs that will vary from one to another GPU

Minor note in version 5.3b, when the GPU stats print for my AMD 580 cards, they note the "cvddc" but are printing the value for the "mvddc".  When first coming up, the values are getting set correctly per the log.  It's just the periodic GPU stats print that has this mis-labeled.

5.5b solved the problem of memory overheating on 5000 series cards.
But I couldn't see the difference in efficiency.

ive find all of the phoenix miners work great from 5.1c.
i as well havent seen hash improvement or efficency.
all is good with this software. great work phoenixminer.
runing 580s and 570s and 5700xt. all 8gb

Is it still possible to mine successfully with RX580 8 GB on Windows 7?

I'm not able to reach higher than 10.5 MH/s with the latest AMD driver (with compute mode enabled through registry). Older drivers gives me invalid shares. 

You are not in compute mode

I agree that's what it looks like. Is it even possible to enable compute mode on Windows 7? I was previously using the blockchain driver but started receiving more and more invalid shares until almost all were invalid. I upgraded to the latest adrenalin drivers for Windows 7 which made all shares valid again but speed is just 10.5 MH/s. I tried to add compute mode to the registry but it made no difference. So is possible to enable compute mode on Windows 7? Is anyone still successfully mining with RX580 8 GB on Windows 7?

Greetings, enter here and download this file, then click the right mouse button on the file, select properties and then go to the compatibility tab. there you select run program with compatibility with windows 7 and below you select where it says run this program as administrator.
you accept those changes, exit and then run the file. It will show you when I make the change as a calculation. Restart your platform and run PM.
excuse my bad english

Thank you @Geniusvzla for the suggestion. I have tried that as well but unfortunately it made no difference. Are you on Windows 7?

A customer has W7 with 4 rx580 8gb GPUs. But soon I will update it to W10.
The other thing you can do is reinstall the
Bios Mod to 1 GPU or find another Bios just to test, reboot, run switch to compute mode, reboot and then run PM with your parameters.

yes, all my rx 8gb works fine on 5.1c, better use this version guys.

In regards to my issue with my first (#1) GPU causing me headaches in my 6x 3080 rig I believe I figured out part of the issue. I had added remote desktop ability so I could easily monitor the rig. This created "remote desktop display adapter" in the device manager. I disabled this driver and the rig has been running solid for 24 hours now. I believe something in Phoenix miner was confusing the 1st GPU and this display driver causing vrel and vop issues to pop up even though they weren't real and the card didn't need to be limited. Now that I've disabled this driver and am only plugging a screen into the rig I'm having zero issues. Very strange, but hopefully one that can be fixed so I can use remote desktop in the future.

Hi all and PM,

Long time watcher here but thought I would give some feedback on 5.5b - I'm running it on 2 rigs which are quite stable (uptime approx 92hrs) but on a third rig it wasn't stable so I reverted to 5.4c. Overall 5.5b is better - with wattage draw similar to 5.2e and hashrate similar to 5.4c. For my 7 GPU rig that runs stable with 5.5b it means 10-15W less vs 5.4c with a similar hashrate of 3mhs more vs 5.2e.

Unfortunately running 5.5b on my 11 GPU rig shows a lot of hashrate fluctuation on each GPU and a lower total hashrate than either 5.2e or 5.4c. Then crashes after a few hours. With 5.4c it runs quite stable.

OS:Windows 10
Driver: 20.8.1

Rig 1 (3 GPU): Vega56, RX580 x2
Rig 2 (7 GPU): RX570 x3, RX580 x2, RX5600XT, RX5700
Rig 3 (11 GPU): Vega56 x2, RX570 x4, RX580 x2, RX5600XT x2, RX5700

Hi,
I have nvidia ASUS p106-100 6gb mining series card and WIN 7 x64 operating system.
Phoenix miner version 4.9c and main Nvidia driver version: 382.53 working - BUT the hashrate is drop significantly last two months. Now is ~16.8 MH/s. (with -mclock +790) I think it must be more!
Every miner after 4.xx don`t work. (even 5.5b)The cmd window closes almost immediately!
I can change everything but operating system.
What i can do to increase hashrate, command line options , drivers... ?

Hi! Ive had many issues with p106 and 382.53 on win10. Changing drivers made it worse. So ive installed hive. 23.5 mhs on eth

[FloppyPurpleGherkin]

5.5 works fine for 5700xt with a 1.5-2W drop per card

5.5 doesn't work for 570-580, consistent crashing

cheers

Same here my rig with polaris card miner just stops mining and exit. 5.4c works fine

I laso have p106 6gb with 460.89 on windows 10 and 5.5b but no issues.

My 5700XT Red Devil is only hitting 50 MH/s. Any advice on how to change this? Can pool have anything to say? I am using nanopool.

I start mining ETH again and see that Claymore Miner is not running any more so i start to mine with Phönix miner- Hash Rate is good but i do need much electricity. I live in acountry with 30 cents/KWH. I have 5 RX580/8G -On Claymore i need 600 Watt in 2018 -now i need 1000 Watt/H -same settings in Overdrive N Tool than 2018 - I try  write in BAT Datei cclock 1200 -mclock 2100 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 but bothing changed. Does ETH Mining need more power now or why is this so???

Yes, power usage increased starting with DAG size over 4G according to reports from different sources

[Hacky71]

Ok thanks -will try lol miner- hope miner is nearly the same than claymore -took to much time to get to know miner and install all the setting in a new bat

i have cclock 1220 -mclock 2020 -cvddc 825 -mvddc 825 => 145 on the wall.

Try lolminer or TMR ! for best KWH

145watt 1 rx-580 8 gb realy??
what Mh/s ?

i with cclock 1200 mclock 2015 ccddv 850 mvddc 875= 82/85 watt       32,66 Mh/s

Rig x7 Rx-580 8Gb

605/610 watt 227,2 Mh/s

[vladutz1186]

GTX Titan X still work ? I can`t get more than 2.6 mh/s 
I try more miners, two OS Ethos and HiveOS, few new and old drivers .. nothing changed !

your hash rate ?
