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

[tbandy]

Hey Guys I just installed Phoenixminer on my computer and Windows defender said that a virus named Occamy.C was found
Is this OK or what ?

Thanks for your help

I use PM 3.5d win10 64 with 5 x AMD 570 4gb  overdriventool 2.6 and NVIDIA gtx 1060 6GB  I use Nvidia-inspector
max hasrate on ETC 173.6 MH/s  with this rig .and electricity 650 watt there are others among us who still work out more  




.

NODEVFEE-DevFee-Removed

batfile with this:

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

or without this phoenixminer also works what is better someone knows it with or without ?

Anyone else using this miner with low memory cards like 2gb RX560/560D?
The default intensity setting of 10 seems to be optimal only for 4 gb cards, because it causes errors and crashes on all my 2gb cards. The highest my 2gb RX560 cards can handle without errors is 7 intensity, and I have an older RX560D card that can only handle 4 intensity without crashing.

Card is an RX 480 4GB. Running W10 ver 1809 and 18.10.1 drivers.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem (8 x RX580, Win10 ver 1809 and 18.10.1 drivers), Claymore works normally.

Re-install amd drivers 18.6.1 after use DDU. All ok.

phoenixminer for linux, nice guys. this is what i've been waiting for and now i've almost overseen it! any differences compared to windows with 1070ti/1080 cards?

   There shouldn't be any differences but this is the first Linux version so there may be some bugs yet.

The same question. Does not work on 1060 3Gb Ubuntu 16-18

Kernel: 4.13.16
Drivers: N 396.54

   Thank you for the system information. We have successfully ran 1060 3GB and 6GB under HiveOS 0.5-76 so we are really not sure why is this happening. Probably it is somehow connected to the number of the GPUs as all reports so far are with a lot of GPUs. Please try to add -gpus 123 command-line parameter in your custom miner settings in order to use only the first three GPUs and see if this fixes the problem. Obviously this isn't a workable solution but it will help us reproduce it.

  I tried on your advice - nothing has changed with 3 cards. The result is the same.

   We are working on this problem, it should be resolved in the next release.

Hi,
Sorry if the problem has already been solved, I did not read the entire thread.

I am willing to give this miner a try but it draws far more power than claymore for a similar or little higher hashrate.

I use it with win10 with 6 RX580.
With claymore (11.9), 186Mh/s @ 830W
With Phoenix (3.5d), 187Mh/s @ 1150W!
I tried to use the same values for clocks and voltages (which are set in config.txt) or to let it blank without any effect.
What am I doing wrong?

   Most probably the cards voltages/clocks aren't set properly. Please note that if you are using older driver (older than 18.x.x), you should use external tool to set the clocks and voltages. With 18.x.x driver you should be able to set the clocks and voltages with the command-line settings of PhoenixMiner.

Hi there. I'm using phoenixminer since yesterday and till now it's nice. The only concern is the fact that fan speed cannot be controlled under linux. I'm waiting for your new version..

   The new version will include full hardware control for AMD cards and possibly for Nvidia under Linux. There also will be full support for Nvidia under Windows and some fixes for the AMD support.

Thanks for your help

   We have given up trying to argue with the anti-virus vendors, so you just have to trust us that there aren't any viruses in the miner. You should add folder where you have extracted PhoenixMiner as an exception in Windows Defender, as it may delete the miner at some point without asking you. You can use the checksums from the first post to see if the miner is not tampered with (especially if you have downloaded it from somewhere else except the official download link in the first post).

Anyone else using this miner with low memory cards like 2gb RX560/560D?
The default intensity setting of 10 seems to be optimal only for 4 gb cards, because it causes errors and crashes on all my 2gb cards. The highest my 2gb RX560 cards can handle without errors is 7 intensity, and I have an older RX560D card that can only handle 4 intensity without crashing.

   We recently tested with RX550 2 GB and we haven't noticed any negative effect of the intensity on stability but probably it depends on the drivers and OS interaction. If you are using really old drivers, you may want to try 18.5.1, we have had good results with them.

I have the same problem (8 x RX580, Win10 ver 1809 and 18.10.1 drivers), Claymore works normally.

   To extract maximum performance from the GPUs, we use some driver-specific optimizations. Therefore it is not advisable to upgrade to the latest drivers right after they are out. We recommend to stick with drivers that were released before the version of PhoenixMiner you are currently using. For PhoenixMiner 3.5d this means drivers up to 18.8.x but not the newer ones. We will add support for 18.10.1 in the next release of PhoenixMiner.

I started using phoenix from yesterday. Good surprise that i get better hashrate and lower power consumption than claymore.
Thought that claymore is good:)
Better dev fee too.  I'm using linux based miner.AMD OpenCL 16.60
claymore 300.3mhs 715w
phoenix (same clocks and green kernels) 304mhs 708w
https://hiveos.farm?ref=14664

maybe today is few degrees colder

Nice joke, but maybe you haven’t ever tried PM3.5d. For me it is 0.3% higher hash rate, 0.7% lower power consumption and 0.3 lower devfee than Claymore.

Not joke, I have such effect if ambient temp drops 5 celsius. Less power a bit and more hash (poolside)
I'll try 3.5 and compare but percentage you mention are just tiny better, like same miner with lower fee.
Had no improvement on Atis with previous versions but Nvidias did like PM over CM 

[aarts]

Actually with cooler cards takes less power.
-gt setting are auto tune.
does -acm setting makes any different under linux? claymore states that under linux no need for comput mode.

Hello PhoenixMiner i'm use mine Nicehash but always switch DAG, re-connection mining and Shut Down mine using last drivers 18.9.3. So can use Drivers 18.8.2 for MSI RX580 4gb working to Nicehash?


Thanks.

Yes cooler cards use less electricity, this is called physics.

A bit more hash is not possible. What you see is a normal daily fluctuation. You need to take the average hashrate of several days, 1 day is not enough to get a reasonable average.

A bit more hash poolside I said. Less "bad" shares, one or other way. And visible in 30 minutes, i.e. when you open doors/windows - temp drops and hash goes up in minutes ( give 15 minutes to pool ). Well mine cards are fine tuned depending of ambient temperature.
Short, I wanted to say that 0.5 % might be result EVEN of temperature drop.

If you measure for 15 minutes, it could be fluctuation if you measure for weeks (as i have done) it could not be. By the way my results are with green kernels. Total increase of 0.6% percent of earnings and after deducing the reduced with 0.7% electricity expenses I have total increase of 3.3% of the final profit compared to Claymore. Not very big, but enough for me to replace Claymore with PM.

Hmm...what driver you use and what is the best ( used by dev) driver for 3.5? AMD AND NVIDIA?

[grendel25]

hashrate goes to zero on the pool but the miner shows as if it's working just fine.  Works fine in claymore...
