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

[53nsk]

After updating drivers from 19.9.1 to 19.9.2 miner won't start, claymore works fine.

Check that windows defender isn't blocking the process... that's what happened to me.

Yea, i've read it. But windows defender was always turned off. I'm using 3-rd party AV and firewall, but they didn't do anything, i've tried to turn them off too, but it didn't help. Also no updates were installed, nothing else changed, only new drivers installed after DDU cleanup. Still trying to figure out what is wrong.

Performance Video in my testing so far: 481mh @ 1062w for a 8x 5700 XT rig. https://twitter.com/BitsBeTrippin/status/1174169921250631682

But probably going to settle for 474mh @ 1058, as few of the cards not showing 100% stability with settings. Once I see it clean for 24h will post how I got there in video.

Hi and congrats!  

Share some settings for cards?

Please sharing the settings. I'm currently @ 1215W @ the Wall for my 8x RX 5700. Miner is reporting 900W. Getting about 425 MH/S (Which is great).

For the moment I just keep my settings simple: -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -mclock 920 -amd -mode 1.

Geeting another card tomorow to play with. This -openclLocalWork is not easy to figure out yet; can not have these incorrect shares

However, miner is unstable. Need more testing.

I have 8 x GTX 1050 Ti 4GB on Windows 10.
I get the the DAG creation error.
Any idea how to resolve this, the DAG is only 3.3GB I believe
My Virtual Memory is more than enough to cover all of my cards in the rig.

Play with below switches:

  -eres <n> Allocate DAG buffers big enough for n epochs ahead (default: 2) to
      avoid allocating new buffers on each DAG epoch switch, which should improve DAG switch stability
  -lidag <n> Slow down DAG generation to avoid crashes when swiching DAG epochs
      (0-3, default: 0 - fastest, 3 - slowest).

[jpmonster]

I have tried playing around with these without any success:(
Has anyone with a 4GB Nvidia card got this to work

[zertor]

got the same issue with 1050Ti 4GB
dag generation error out of memory

@PhoenixMiner
Can you please fix it?
its just 77MB used of the card from 4GB (another GPU is used for primary display)
but your miner can't find enough memory...
stopping your miner/close,
then run Claymore miner after that instead works just fine.

also try "-rvram -1"

Dear PM dev, as I understand, GPU auto tunning still does not work for 1070 on Win 7? I have default value 15 for all cards.

May be something wrong with my config and because of it auto tunning does not work? My config:

-nvidia
-cdm 2
-cdmport 3333
-cdmpass xxxxx
-minRigSpeed 186
-rmode 2
-tstop 65
-tstart 40
-logsmaxsize 0
-nvf 2
-hstats 2

Is there API command to disable/enable GPU over it?

I havn't tried PhoenixMiner that much before on my 12x Polaris rig. It works just fine, but I don't get that high hashrate with the miner, as of another miner. Anyone have some tips for me to increase hashrate. I have tried -clnew -clkernal 1-3. Doing autoconfig aswell.

I'm getting like 29.8-30.2 MH/s at 1110 MHz Core and ~2050 MHz Mem.

which GPU exactly? I get 30 MH/s with RX470 if you have 8GB of VRAM you can use "-clkernel 3" and try "-mt 2" it's changing the timing but if you cards are already flashed you will have a lower hashrate.

I get better hashrate with the other miner and option -rxboost and -strap, but it's a little bit less stable and need lower frequencies.

For exemple with this other miner I get 33,1 MH/s with RX580 8Gb and 30,5 MH/s with RX470 4GB.

Use amd memory tweak and you will get higher hashrate than the other miner

[UnclWish]

On 8Gb 580 cards with -clKernel 3 gains additional speed about 0,5-0,7MH, but ONLY with new finded -gt parameter.

I have problem with error in CudaProgram, can not continue mining.

Sapphire RX 570/580 8 GB. But I'm running my GPUs at low clocks ~1100 MHz Core/~2000 MHz Mem @ 800 mV. What frequency/voltage do you run to achive 33 MH/s, it can't draw low power?

At another miner I'm getting 30.5 MH/s at same clocks/voltage.

Phoenix, you added memory straps applying some versions back. Can you add using REF parameter like Claymore's rxboost?
And 2nd: Can you add additional parameter to force releasing videomemory on start and on stop of miner?

Hi,
is still Phoenix 4.6c compatible with eth-prox?
Im using Phoenix 4.6c on EthOS (linux),
with proxy eth-proxy (python, linux) https://github.com/Atrides/eth-proxy

Ive tried also -proto 1..4, same result. Miner dont get work from proxy. Maybe its on proxy side, maybe its asking in bad way by miner, I dont know.
Ive tried also other eth-proxy (that GO version from dwarf, none success either).

ANY tips, ... like ANY for working eth proxy for linux is welcomed. Ive tried, search and run all kind of them, none is working now (they worked .. maybe .. at 2017, but not today).

My comment is not related to your question. But. Are you shure that it makes sence to set 100% of FANs speed? The lifetime of FANs will be greatly reduced. My be it makes sence to add additional big FANs? In fact, it should be cheaper.

Performance Video in my testing so far: 481mh @ 1062w for a 8x 5700 XT rig. https://twitter.com/BitsBeTrippin/status/1174169921250631682

But probably going to settle for 474mh @ 1058, as few of the cards not showing 100% stability with settings. Once I see it clean for 24h will post how I got there in video.

Again, please share your stable settings checked vs the pool

I run like this 100% stable:

-tt 58 -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -fanmin 0 -mclock 910 -amd -mode 1 -clKernel 1 -clNew 1
