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

[Pe_Da]

Hi All,

Anyone currently using RX 6800 with Phoenix miner what Hash rate are you getting and what are your settings granted there is no available bios mode yet.

Thanks in advance.

Optimized 63-65 Mhs @ 150W with my RX6800 but not really stable. I´ve got some invalid shares ....
Not optimized and adjusted yet!

@developer, how is the current status?

Thanks Good to know, do you care to share your settings, perhaps I might be lucky with the silicon on mine? Thanks in advance.

I meant PhoenixMiner is not adjusted to mine with the RX6000 Series, I´ve got invalid shares with standard clocks as well.
But only with Phoenix, Lolminer and Nanominer for example works fine but with slightly lower hashrate (62-63 M/hs) ...

After 5.1c I have alot of incorrect ETH share on all video cards for a very short period. Lets say half of them.
Definitely Phoenix Miner has some problem either with the drivers or itself.
Video cards: Gigabyte - RX 580 8G
BIOS: Default Polaris Bios Editor set
Driver info: robinh00d_package_dag_fix
OpenCL driver version: 17.31.0
Driver data: 27.7.2017
Driver Version: 22.19.659.1
Operating system: Windows 7 Version 6.1.7601

I know that it is weird to mine with Win7 but rly dont understand why no one supporting mining drivers and you have to use Win 10 which is such clumsy, full with spy, MS telemetry and bunch of other garbage applications, random restarts and pointless updates. In fact Win7 is flying on new machines.

p.s.  Lolminer and Nanominer works fine as previous post.

You do know that win 7 is fully deprecated and not supported even by MS since Jan 4 2020?

I think you do not understand the conception behind Windows 10; why is made, when you need that "update", what you need and why you need.

Please do not post noob replies about that post. Only technical resolves or analyses - if you have such.
Thank you.

Thanks for pointing out my noob answer.     Im well aware of what win10 is. 

I did not advise anything except point out that the os you are using is deprecated by MS about a year ago which does have an effect on the situation.

My linux rigs, all 30 are running just fine without a single issue.

Best of luck getting it solved.

still getting same error..
try with PM 5.0e until 5.3b still can't run to mine

get same notice:
Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61).
Fatal error detected. Restarting.

repeat and repeat again..

help, please

Phoenix 5.3b so many stuck thread issue compare to last version much better in Eth

Phoenix 5.3b so many stuck thread issue compare to last version much better in Eth

i think i'am stupid miner
meanwhile, I'm running another miner
There were no problems until DAG # 380
all 8Gb VRAM cards cannot run using PM
no updates and explanations
very sad

Hi @PhoenixMiner

I've recently switched from Claymore miner and very happy with 5.3b version except that intermittently miner reports 0 as average speed. If I press "s" right away, it shows correct values. As a result, I can't use "minspeed" option, rig starts to reboot despite that in fact 5 min average is ok.

Drivers are 20.11.2 WHQL.

[bishkot]

Hi guys,
as claymore stopped working i switched to phoenix mine 5.3b

At first everything was working.

I noticed the Google Meet icon appeared down at the right corner (maybe windows updated itself )

Im using Win 10 and sapphire rx580 8gb nitro+

Phoenix stopped working and also no other miner works atm. Lol, claymore etc..
All i see is NO CUDA Driver and then
https://ibb.co/M8yFcB1

Tried to reinstall AMD drivers - currently I'm using Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.1
Tried to disable Defender and i noticed i cannot add exclusuin folders anymore and also my exclusion folders that i added before are  gone from the exclusion list.

Should i try reinstalling windows if yes what win 10 version and amd rx580 driver combination to try?
I have 10X GPUS

Please advise.

Unfortunately, it could be due to some dll issue. Try this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4479631.msg40251658#msg40251658

Hello guys... I need some help here.

I switched my gpus (gtx 1070 8gb) to ETH after a long time, and what I see is some strange behavior. It seems that hashrate is low, and memory overclock doesn't have any effect.
What I was able to google out is that apparently when there is more than 50% of 1070's gpu memory utilized it starts to behave strangely. When I try mining ETC everything is normal (sure ETC have DAG size much lower, after fork).
So mining ETC I am able to get 33 MHs at 90W with underclock and undervolt core and overclocked memory as much as possible, while
mining ETH I get 28 MHs at 115W (overclocked nd undervolted core, little overclock on memory) ... you see my despair ... also mining ETH overclockin core have positive effect on hashrate, while overclocking memory doesn't have any impact - which is not normal for ethash.

It happens the same on windows or linux (hive os), the same on all miners (lol miner, phoenix miner, t-rex miner ...)

I was not able to find any solution to this.
So is there any workaround this issue?
Thanks for your help Wink Cheers

it is normal for the Nvidia Pascal GPU´s (all gtx 10x0) This cards slow down with every new DAG epoch, same HARDWARE bug as the AMD R9 290 and R9 390 had in the past.
So there is no solution. You can check this, if you benchmark ETH in Epoch 0 and Epoch 400 for example.

My P106 cards do 26mh at the beginning, now i am down to 24mh.

on ETH, my P106 cards still does 25.5mh  or above consistently. I'm using the latest driver and PM 5.3b. My settings are PL +78, TL +73, CC +165, MC +915, Fan @85. Each card draws around 93W power.

Hello gentlemen,
I have a strange problem only with one rig. I'm using 5.3b and it runs only up to the point where I get the NO CUDA driver found than just stops. Tried running in most basic settings but nothing seems to work. Has anyone come across this? Meanwhile claymore 15 with exactly the same settings runs just fine.
Rig is running with 8x sapphire 570 8GB nitro+, 110GB virtual memory, 4gb ram, i5-7400.
Last setting:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool XXXX -ewal XXXX -eworker XXXX -epsw XXXX -ftime 10 -cclock 1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200 -mclock 2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150,2150 -cvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -mvddc 900,900,900,900,900,900,900,900 -tt 60 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 95

Please help!
EDIT sorry I just read the above messages I'm having the same problem like the previous post!

Yes. Just 'reset' the windows rather than reinstalling. Hopefully that would solve your issue, as it did for me.

You could follow the same solution I posted as well and try your luck.

[bishkot]

Looks like its not me the only one.

Will resetting keep my installed software programs? Will it keep files on drive C where my windows is installed?

Will give it a try
Many thanks

I started having the same problem 2-3 nights ago. I updated the drivers and it fixed the problem
