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

[djzmei]

Hi, I have the following problem.
I put Phoenix Miner 5.0b, I run the bat file which is ready inside and it leaves without a problem.
I replace it with my data and when I release it when it reaches the moment to generate the cache miner crash.

[Broomey]

I just hope Phoenix Miner can keep up the good work and keep finding ways to mine with our 4gb cards.. big thumbs up to Phoenix Miner and an even bigger thumbs up to the team at PiMP (www.getpimp.org) for getting the latest 5.0b version into their mining OS literally minutes after it's release! Definitely keep PiMP'in !!   Was a totally hassle-free and simple update from a miners point of view. Just lovin PiMP! (and Phoenix Miner )
Match made for hashing.
Thanks.

Do you see "Unknown OpenCL driver version! Hashrate and stale shares may suffer" in the beginning of your log? If that's the case you have to reinstall your driver with version higher than  18.1.1 for Windows. Use also DDU to fully uninstall your previous driver. If your driver is 20.5.1 upgrade to PM 5.0c which supports this driver.

That's your problem. The solution for using 4GB AMD cards doesn't work on drivers before 2018. Install at least 18.1.1

Dear Phoenix,

Do you have any plans to add the DAG-split feature to your miner?

For AMD - to allow 8-gig cards to continue mining ETH after the DAG exceeds 4GB
For NVIDIA - to fix the ETH speed reduction because of the raising DAG (on 10xx cards)

[djzigi]

I did some testing and it appears that there is a problem with -clkernel 3 on 8GB cards, the turbo kernel does not work anymore, changing back to -clkernel 1 did the job but it gives a little less hashpower.
PhoenixMiner or someone, could you please verify and confirm the same problem.
PhoenixMiner tnx and keep up the good work.

Anyone kind enough to help me out with some good settings for 8 Sapphire RX570 16GB cards for mining ETH on Linux Ubuntu 18.04.4 (currently using 18.50 AMDgpu drivers)?  

I've had a few issues (Everything is stock, both the cards and miner.):

1. After about a full day or 2 of mining it would give me an error about Vram. Which makes little sense to me as the card has 16gb.

2. Threads are getting stuck, stopping the miner to where I must do a system shut down and restart.

3. Lots of Incorrect shares.

I appreciate any input and/or guidance to get this setup to achieve stability, thank you.

-clkernel 3 uses 2 DAGs so 8GB are not enough to hold them and it will stop working at some moment when DAG size approaches 4GB.

-clkernel 3 uses 2 DAGs so 8GB are not enough to hold them and it will stop working at some moment when DAG size approaches 4GB.

If my mem is 8 and 2x3,75=7,5 (current ETC) there is still 0,5 free mem
I guess if 4gb cards are working on -clkernel 1 then 8gb should work on -clkernel 3
Or i am missing something...

[djzmei]

I tried both versions of the miner 5b-5c and at least 5 types of drivers and the maximum speed I achieved is 10.4m per card. The cards are RX 580 4G. I will be happy if someone shares if this problem can be fixed.

where you find the version 5.0c?

What Bios you are using for the RX580? Which driver version? Which OS? OC your Cards? How you oc your cards?

You using Win10? Which driver you are using. You can't just calculate 2x3.75.
Can you mine ETH with clkernel3? If so, then you have not enough vram for ETC and clkernel3. What driver your using.

Yes i am using Win10x64 LTSC version with "latest" 20.4.2 driver.
And yes i know that Win is using my vram if there is a display connected to it.
I am mining with my PC 1x580 8GB without iGPU and i have one rig#1 with 4x480 8GB with iGPU and a mixed rig#2 with 1x580 8GB 5x470 4GB with a iGPU
Yesterday the #1 4x480 8GB gave me problems with clkernel3 and the fix was switching to clkernel1.
Everything was fine until ETC epoch 347-348.
Simple logic if 4gb cards work clkernel1 then 8gb cards should work clkernel3 or am i wrong?

clernel 3 uses double the memory of clkernel 1. So when x > 4 => 2.x >8
Installing PM 4.9 and/or driver 20.5.1 may fix your problem for some time.

Tested on my computer (32GB RAM) with 8GB RX570, driver 19.9.1 and epoch 353. clkernel 3 works but the hashrate falls from 28.4MH/S (with clkernel 1) to 21 MH/S (with clkernel 3). I suppose you don't have enough physical or virtual memory but even if you had it you won't like the -7 MH/s fall. The problem is in the driver. It takes about 300MB shared memory from your computer and the transfer with this memory leads to this -7MH/s fall (if your GPU is not on PCI-E X 16 like me this fall will be at least -28 MH/S). So you can't use clkernel 3 because of the driver. There is enough VRAM for 2 X DAGs (2 X 3.77 GB for epoch 353) used from clkernel 3 but the driver decides to use your computer memory. There is no way to tell it not to do it. If you check all the drivers from 18.1.1 to 20.5.1 maybe (maybe not) you will find a driver that doesn't allocates host (computer) memory, but the chances are very small.
