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

[Ursul0]

Hello, i am sure this question was asked a lot of times - but i never needed it

i was just running PM miner since it exists with not much overtuned cards and it always worked without issues!

now i wantes to run it as an admin ,- in windows i am logged in as an admin, -but to run the bat file as an admin - after starting it says this is not an internal command?

what do i make wrong?

THX

You can't run a bat file as admin.

sure you can run anything as admin, the proper way would be though to use task scheduler checking "run with highest privileges" 
Also the problem is that it starts in system32 folder and there's no phoenix miner;)

add -config config.txt:

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

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -wal WALLETNUMBER.RIGNAME -pass x -config config.txt
pause

and move following part to config.txt:

Code:

-amd
-acm
-mode 1
-hstats 1
-cclock 1250
-mclock 2250
-cvddc 890
-mvddc 890
-log 0
-tstop 85
-tstart 55
-tt 65
#-fanmin 45
-fanmin 35,40,35,35,35,35,35
-fanmax 100
-cdm 0
-fcm 2
-gpus 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
-clKernel 1
-gser 5
-altinit
-rvram -1
-wdog 0
-rmode 0

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

There is no secret in my config but I prefer not to post it here as it would just create more confusion for you, so forget the config above as well.
Start from scratch, download PhoenixMiner, open start_miner.bat file with notepad and replace your wallet, then save and try to run it. Also read the readme.txt file in the same folder where you can find a lot other information.
Before asking any other questions, remember to specify which GPU you are using.

Good luck!

Hello,

Ive been mining without any trouble. I just seem to have trouble with 5.2d.

I have MSI RX 580 8GB that is running well with another version of Phoenix Miner

I also have 2 XFX RX 570 4GB and 1 MSI RX 570 4GB. Havent been able to run any of them due to them being 4GB. This is why I have decided to try 5.2d.

My 4GB cards are currently NOT plugged in. So I only hvave my 8GB card. But it seems like I have been getting error with 5.2d. Can't even get it to work with my 8 GB Card....

Hello  

I had version 20.4.2 amd drivers and 5.2d PH but today I lost hashrate. I decided to upgrade to 5.2e and update drivers to 20.11.2 but it still has the same hashrate. I lost 1-2 mh/s per card.

(1) rx 570 4gb 23 mhs (I had 25-26 mhs)
(3) rx 580 4gb 26.5 mhs (had 28-29 mhs)

Windows 10
Amd 20.11.2 drivers, compute mode and OC

Any idea?

Can you write me the RX570 4GB commands?
Because I mining 1-2 MH/s with it.

can you explain how to run always bat file with admin righs? if I run it manually (right click than "run as admin") with admin rights than rxboost is aplayed but if it runs from startup folder that it isnt with admin rights win10

[thx333]

Best Driver for RX 580 8GB?  
Thank you

Hello,

Was using claymore until now and getting 32 Mh/s to all my 3 Rx 580s 8gbs..

Now switched to Phoenix 5.1e with this command -amd -acm -rxboost 21 -gser 2 -daglim 0
And only getting 28 Mh/s..

Tried without daglim and getting the same Mh/s..

Also every time i am starting the miner i get Disabling DAG pre allocation not enough vram..
But all my Gpus are 8 GBs..

Can anybody help ?

Thanks in advance,

rxboost 1 is enough or -vmr 25 and also add -mt1 you can try mt 2 but same results. with this you can get 30+, no other help i can do because im also came from clay, and no one helped me to get 32 again, even on claymore i was getting 33 on some cards. i tried trm and lolminer as well, having low speed. well i guess i will go back old good days flashing bios again. i think that is best way keep polais cards get good speed.

mt 2 just froze the whole rig.. Will try mt 1. But i can see that many people with 8 gb cards have problems with the dag.. Bummer..

Yes, even 1070ti are going to be impacted... Who knows, maybe ethereum will do the same thing as ETC and reduce the DAG file but I doubt it

The problem for now is that PhoenixMiner cant successfully set the straps right..

For everyone came from Claymore just let claymore build the straps with -allpools 0 and then start Phoenix. Everything will work maybe better than before.
I am getting 32+ Mhs from my RX580 8gbs cards again..

Hello,
what error do you get with the 8GB card?

Important tips for 4GB cards (read first page), assuming you are using windows :

• If you can't use integrated GPU, replace the primary GPU with one with 6 or 8 GB VRAM.
• (Windows) With PhoenixMiner 5.2e either remove the -daglim option entirely (it is set to auto by default), or set it to -daglim 4023, which should work on all 470/480/570/580/590 cards with "good" drivers (see bellow)
• (Windows) If your cards doesn't work with the default DAG limit of 4023 and require substantial decrease to 4006 or 3990, you need to update to one of the "good" AMD drivers for Windows: from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.11.1 (inclusive)
  

Try with 5.2e.

[BeefyBitcoinBoy]

I wanted to report an issue I ran into on v5.2e for mixed-gen ETH mining on one XFX RX 5700 8GB + one XFX RX 480 8GB + one MSI RX 480 8GB on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (via minerstatOS) with amdgpu-pro v19.30 drivers.  When I upgraded to v5.2e, I saw my RX 5700 take approximately an hour to build its DAG file, and then yield 0 hashrate, and the two RX 480s only produced about a third of their normal hashrate.  I previously saw the same behavior with all PhoenixMiner v5.1x versions, as well.

Rolling back to v5.0e immediately resolves the issue without a reboot.  I have used a few versions of the PhoenixMiner for about ten months on this mixed-gen rig without issue, so this has been something introduced after v5.0e.  In case it's any help, I am including a few log excerpts, though I never saw any suspicious messages or error logs to report.

v5.2e log (note the miner uptime versus the DAG generation progress)

Hi there,

I have 4 GPUS (1x RX 570, 3x RX 580). I'm using AMD Radeon drivers (non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.10.2-oct23).

Do you recommend me to update it to the last version (20.4.x) or don't touch anything?

I've got around 124MH/s. Is it right or I can obtain more MH/s

Thanks in advance!!!!

If it works and you're happy with your hashrates just keep it. If anything is wrong, you're facing hashrate drops or miner is not stable then update. I'm using v20.4.2 myself on all rigs and they work fine.

Newer drivers are usually working better than the old ones. 124/4 = 31, so I guess it's pretty nice score for 570/580s. I think rxboost is not supported with the drivers that you use in PhoenixMiner...

Let us know the results. You can always revert to previos drivers if it's worse than now.
