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

[Pe_Da]

I know, new card and driver but I got many invalid shares in connection with Nicehash on my new RX 6800.
At the moment no OC and anyone else optimizings active. Seems to be a problem with the many new DAG generation within the mining process.

"Normal" ETC and ETH mining runs properly, but with very fluctuating (56-60Mhs) hashrate!

I would first update driver to a version that supports the 6000 series. 20.11 seems to be old isnt it?

, that is the newest driver from AMD.

Also with 5.2e still invalid shares (only) on Nicehash!

Also with 5.2e still invalid shares (only) on Nicehash!

Phoenix wrote already that he hasn't any of new 6800 cards yet. So he can't optimize his kernels for new cards. We must wait till he buy new card and work on it.

[melpheos]

Any hopes for the 1070Ti ?
Any smart fixes ?

 What is the problem with 1070Ti? It is probably the only Pascal GPU that still does 30-31 MH/s without problems with bigger DAGs, while the 1070 are affected by the DAG size and won't mine with the former speed with these big DAG epochs.

Unfortunately this won't be the case as soon as DAG 384 will be reached.

As soon as you reach this dag the performance drops by 50%

Read: "How to up your hashrate on PhoenixMiner" - [removed]Read on Medium[/url]

Don't go there, it's just another ethpill scam. Just a new version to not get flagged on bitcointalk

The hint is the PS at the end which is exactly the same as other ethpill scams

P.S.: the project is being drowned by competitors, don’t trust anyone, check the information yourself

Both 5.2e and 5.1c sometimes detect one extra card

So far I have managed to run 5.1c over some time but not 5.2e

In WINDOWS10 system, using "-li" "-gpow" will cause the CPU usage to become very high, can it be solved?

Any help?

@PhoenixMiner

I use PhoenixMiner 5.2e on my 51 rigs.
I like PhoenixMiner. But i read an article that PhoenixMiner shows higher fake hashrate than usual.
They advise to use Tem Red Miner. I tested TRM in a rig. It gives lower hashrate & it need less power than PhoenixMiner.
Do you have any explanation about it ?
Regards.

Make you own research, if you dont like Phoenix than choose another one. Its simple as that.

it was published on 2miners.com after claymore failed they made test which miner gets best shares. according to them for nvidia t-rex and gminer,for amd teamredminer and lolminer is best. after that i downloaded lolminer and tried mining for 2 hours, well i got bad results than phoenix. phoenix shoved better hashrate at the pool on that 2miners pool. it always good to test for yourself.

You can also move -wallet -pass and -pool options to config.txt

Edit: You should still customize this config for your GPUs (number and model)

Do you think it would be possible to post screen shot of your miner file AND config file so I can see?  (You can hide your wallet number and rig name if you want of course)
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I have some trouble with my rig (6 x RX588 and 1 x RX564)
When start phoenix miner him don't want start mine on all cards. start only rx588 cards.
Why he exclude my GPU0 RX564 ?

hi
After a mining failure on version 5.1c, when an out of sync occurred, all my rx580 cards slightly decreased the hash rate, but the main thing was that the power consumption changed. All my fine tuning of the cards crumbled, I have to look again for the minimum working voltage, increasing it in comparison with the previous settings. please optimize power consumption in the next versions

Thanks.
