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

[batsonxl]

Can someone tell me what is the current recommended driver for AMD RX480 8GB cards to be used with PhoenixMiner?

read 1st page phoenix publish. I used 20.4.2 now 20.11.1 very good using for rx480 an navi gpus

Hi, Im still new to mining and trying to figure stuff out as I go.
Anyway I have 3 issues atm

1. Recently one machine just closes randomly, its ran for over 100hrs no problems but now it seems to lose stratum randomly.
Machine has 3070 and 1070 in it atm. I just changed to the SSL port on pool, no clue if this will help.
Is there any way to solve this? Which leads to issue 2 below trying to make a restart for miner.

2. I am trying to OC a 3070 and 1070 by command line in a .bat so I can use -mcdag 1 for Phoenixminer, How do I go about writing it for each GPU?
-mcdag 1
-GPU1 -powlim 50 -cclock -456 -mclock +1407
-GPU2 -powlim 60 -cclock +203 -mclock +263
Would this work? Not sure if I should just try it. Eidt: Oh I just realised Im not sure how to set the fans either

3. Finally last issue is 6800xt im using newer drivers 21.3.2 and have to use -clkernel 0
I get message "Unknown OpenCL driver version! OpenCL platform: OpenCL 2.1 AMD-APP"
Phoenixminer tells me I get 20%ish stale shares but still get 60-70mh/s over time,
when I check my pool website it says normally 3% max is 5%.
Is this actually an issue also considering Im in Australia and pool is in Asia. Get 160ms share returns.
If i did downgrade to say 21.1.1 would this even make any difference?

Thank you to anyone who can help me with any of this.

I have a Vega 56 card in my Ampere rig.
It's a good card, with the rig timings I can get 48 MH/s using Team Red Miner.
But I can't get past 43 MH/s using Phoenix Miner.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I tried some settings, but there isn't much I can really do, to my knowledge.
I'm trying to switch my rig to Phoenix Miner (I'm using Trex + TRM right now), but I' don't get why I'm loosing so much on Vega.
Any advice?
Thanks for your help.

The stales are absolutely from the opencl kernel.  Downgrading the driver is the right move and will allow you to use the optimized opencl kernels.

If you game on that rig and want the newest drivers, teamredminer does work well on the newest drivers, while we wait for the phoenixminer update.

One might be better than the other, or one might be reporting hashrate higher.

Make sure one miner isn't giving a large number of stales or incorrect shares, then run each one for at least 24 hours (the same duration on each obviously) and see what your actual share counts come to.  That's the only way to see if there is any real difference.

21.3.x versions are not compatible with Phoenixminer without command line fixes.   21.2.3 is what I am using.   The next version of PhoenixMiner(5.6 or whatever it gets called) will address that, as well as other problems.   Beta was supposed to come out this past week for it.

Try backing off on your overclocks by 100MHz and see if that helps the NVIDIA cards.

Hello,

I have recently started mining, almost a month now. I am wondering if anyone can help me with my sales percentages? I am currently running a rx 5700 xt, core clock from 1400-1500 (I saw recommendations to set this to 1300 but I would get a lot of crashes after a couple of hours mining), memory clock at 1800, power limit -37% (on afterburner), and fan speed at 75%. I am getting good temps with the adjustment to the power limit and clock speeds. I am averaging around 50-51 Mh/s.  But I am getting a stales percentage of around 15%? This seems pretty high and I am wondering if there is a fix for it. I have switched between us1 and us2 pools and seen no real difference. I'm not able to see my pings from either pool as well. I haven't changed any settings in the phoenix miner only hardware settings. What do you recommend to lower my stales percentage? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

hello guys,

can someone help me what are the perfect settings for gtx1080? i have one in pc and want to mine a bit (i have adm rigs, so dont know about nvidia setttings much )
what + core and mem, PL and other settings? straps or somethng?

thank you

5700 are able to go up to 55-57(0 stale or bad shares). I'm running 1300-1350 core 1820-1850 mem, 780-810mv. using MorePowerTool SPPTs and modded bioses

[oblivionxt]

Nvidia cards have always been pretty kind to me tuning wise.  I love my AMD cards, but they like to crash when pushed too far.  On a 1080 you'll want to tweak it manually as much as possible since the base hash rate is just OK.

Manually overclock it using afterburner starting with memory.  With phoenix miner running, just push the memory frequency up until you start to get artifacts or your hash rate drops, you can probably run the memory pretty close to a gaming overclock level.  Once that's maxed out lower the core freq until the hash rate starts to drop.  Once that's done just lower the power limit until you get a hash rate drop.  You might get some lag or glitchiness,  but like I said, Nvidia cards are usually pretty easy to tune this way.

Longer term you'll want to monitor for excess stale or incorrect shares, but unless you're on a 30 series card, the random incorrect/stale issues are pretty rare.

The new features in this release are:

• Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
• Increase the max supported DAG epoch to 550 (should be enough to about Jan 2023)
• Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards
• The specific hashrate is now shown in the form of kilo hashes per joule (kH/J). Example: if a GPU has hashrate of 30 MH/s with 100W power usage, the specific hashrate is 300 kH/J
• Added new command-line parameters -ttj and -ttmem, allowing automatic fan speed control based on GPU hotspot (junction), and memory temperatures respectively. Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. These parameters can be combined with -tt, as well as with each other. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
• Added new command-line parameters -tmaxj and -tmaxmem, allowing to decrease the GPU usage when the GPU hotspot (junction), or GPU memory temperatures are above the specified thresholds. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
• Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers 20.50.x. Use this drivers only if you have Polaris or older GPUs, or the latest RX6x000 GPUs. WARNING: Vega, Radeon VII, and Navi GPUs won't work with these drivers!
• Turn off the zero fan feature on AMD cards whenever a fixed fan speed is used (e.g. -tt -40), or when an auto fan with min fan speed is used (e.g. -tt 63 -minfan 35). To disable this feature, add -fanstop 1 command-line parameter
• When -mcdag 1 is specified under Linux, the miner will not wait for the daggen.sh script to finish before starting to generate the DAGs. Instead it will for a fixed 7 seconds. This allows you to do all the following in the daggen.sh: turn off the overclocking of Nvidia GPUs, sleep for 30-60 seconds to allow time for DAG generation, and then re-apply the overclocking of the Nvidia GPUs
• Other small improvements and fixes

The support for -ttj, -ttmem, -tmaxj, and -tmaxmem for Nvidia 3090 and 3080 GPUs is not yet ready for release. We hope to have it ready for the final 5.6 release.

thank you

thank you so much for your help. i have started like 20Mhs, now i am getting 32.3Mhs using PL65, core +100, mem +400
In command line using straps 2 (straps 3 results in artefact, mem 450-500 as well). i will probably play with straps 4-6 and will see if i will get something, aynway thank you a lot

Will RTX 3060 mine without installation on a motherboard, speed 48-50 mh / s?

Don’t 3060 run at 30 mhs ?

• Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
• Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards

Can someone explain how to edit timings on 6700? I tried -mt value with no effect

Don’t 3060 run at 30 mhs ?

You need to connect 3060 to motherboard with real x8 pci-3.0 connection and plug in display to hdmi/dp port.
It's enable 48 mining speed on beta 47x.x drivers only ( can't remeber).

why does your miner come as a virus and why does using it unleash a coinmer virus , i wonder what else phoenix miner dows while using it , probably scans your drives hoping for wallets to hack , how many people lost crypto if they had a wallet on the same system as mining i wonder , lets do a poll. if it comes up as a virus in the new version nobody should use it.
