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

[oblivionxt]

Hello,

I have AMD RX580 8 GB with the driver 21.4.1 also phoenixminer 5.6b which would be perfect for this driver BUT there is one problem when I Tune my GPU and turn of FANS on 50% every time it crush in like 10 or 15 minutes later I don't know what's going on also this problem was early drivers and the AMD error Say "We detected a driver timeout has occurred on your system. A bug report has been generated. This report could help AMD find a solution... " Compute mode is turned ON... The miner working on Windows 10...

any ideas? please help me <3

Sounds similar to the mining intensity issue with RX 6000 cards on windows 10.  The Devs might have set the -mi value too high for  your card.  Try lowering the -mi value until you just start to lose Mh/s, for my RX 6800 it's about -mi 4.

Do you have any idea why I got so many invalid share compared to valid share?



Running with GTX 1080 ti and 1070s

What average hashrate do you end up with for your RX 6800?  Have you tried the April driver + 5.6b?

Might back off the clock settings. Usually if you look at the miner output it will tell you if all of the cards are throwing incorrect shares or just one. That way you can adjust the one that is actually throwing the incorrect shares. I have one 1070 that will throw incorrect shares if I put the mem clock to +950.

Rx 6800 should have hashrate similar to Rx 6800 XT,in fact in many websites they report the same hashrate.I have lately build a rig with Rx 6800 Xt cards and the reported hashrate is the same from 5.5c up to 5.6b which is 59.8 Mhsh with default settings without any fine tuning and without playing with the values in AMD Radeon software or MSI Afterburner.I am running them in Windows 10 clean ISO downloaded from Microsoft.
My cards are Radeon Powercolor Red Devil triple fan and they run really cool and quiet.

64 MH/s on the dot, PM 5.6b and AMD 21.4.1.  Mem set to 2150 and fast timings.

I am getting 62.5 MH/s or so with my pre-overclocked 6800 non-XT and boosting the power limit by the 10% max in Radeon Software, 2100MHz for the memory with fast timing.

[Verbl Kint]

Thanks for the responses, guys. 

I am currently averaging 61.6 MHs for my Gigabyte cards and 63.4 on PowerColors.  It sounds like I need to move to the 5.6b version and the April driver.

I'll post results in a few hours

[Verbl Kint]

After 15 minutes of installing both the April 2021 driver and 5.6b, I already saw nearly 7 MHs improvement.  I probably need to do a little bit of tweaking to figure out the rejected shares but I'm definitely glad I updated to the 21.4.1 driver and PM 5.6 beta.




Most of my cards I could now max out to 2150 mclock and many of the niggling power issues I had in the past looks to have been fixed.  My average hashrate before for these 7 cards was 440.8 MHs. 

For those of you using the RX 6000 series, there probably is no better combo at the moment than PhoenixMiner + 21.4.1 AMD driver + Windows 10.

[alizali]

i got rx6800
no hashrate with ver 5.5C or 5.6a or 5.6b
what is the problem?

Are you using Linux? I have the same thing when running Linux with 6900 XT.

yes using hive os

5.5c with 21.1.1 drivers i get 64.6mh/s on Windows 10. Seems a bit higher then most so I havent bothered changing. Got Sapphire Nitro 6800 XT SE with samsung memory.

In the last few days despite the same hash rate, the reward progresses is very slowly. Is it due to the price increase of ETH?
I'm using Nanopool

It is related with increasing hashrate that makes higher difficulty now = 7.43P. last month was 6 or something it grows very fast it means less rewards, also right now fees are low but later swapping 2 starts i think rewards will be better

Hey @batsonxl can you provide some further information on what exactly you are referring to?  My understanding was that when PoS starts to kick in that Ethereum mining will get less profitable (assuming the price doesn't continue skyrocketing like it is right now). 

Thanks!

When eth goes to pos there will be no mining eth at all. but there is good project that eth continues and erc20 network is solid. There is many project like swap maybe you herad it. there is new coins making use erc20 network for swapping which again we miners happy to mine.
About eht reward there is etherscan site you can follow there. Miners get good rewards when network is heavy loaded, heavy load means more fee. more fee happy miners.
Another factor is eth profit is difficuilty increases less you earn. Reward is same but too many miners, you understand what i mean? as much as miner go up less profit you get.

It is really hard to explain you will learn bye the time

Hello. I have two rigs with windows 10. Every week or two I have issues with the miners. Today one of the miners stopped working,
the error in phoenixminer is "Unable to establish secure connection to ssl://***.ethermine.org:5555: certificate verify failed."
3 or 4 hours later the same thing happened with the second miner... If I remove the "ssl://" from the config file, the miner works but it not show up in the ethermine website. Usually after 3-5 days the problem dissapears...  What can be the problem? I am using wi-fi dongles if that matters

The new features in this release (since 5.6b) are:

• Lower percent of rejected/stale shares when mining on Nicehash
• Fixed problem with reading GPU temperature with some AMD GPUs/drivers
• Latest AMD Windows drivers 21.5.1 are already supported since 5.6b
• Other small fixes and improvements

The changes of the previous beta (5.6b) since the last version (5.5c) 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 on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures. For example the memory temperature is reported on Nvidia 3080, 3090, and 2080Ti.
• 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 both Nvidia and AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
• Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.4.1, 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers 21.10-1244864-ubuntu-18.04, 21.10-1247438-ubuntu-20.04, and 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

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869. Here are the signatures for the files in this release:

What average hashrate do you end up with for your RX 6800?  Have you tried the April driver + 5.6b?

I have:
Gigabyte OC 16 6800XT - 63.8MH/s using 1314/2140 @ 618mv 134w
PowerColor Fighter 6800 - 61.4MH/s using 1314/2140 @ 618mv 117w
PowerColor Red Dragon 6800 - 62.727MH/s 1314/2140 @ 618mv 104w

using 5.6b April Driver - driver only install

This seems low.  Is Fast Timing on and what power limits are you using?

Try my settings:

Cclock: 1200
Memclock: 2150 
core voltage: 612
Fast Timing: enabled
Power Limit: Red Dragon is 0, Fighter is +5


And this is what I get using the 21.4.1 driver and 5.6b:

Hashrate: Red Dragon 64.4, Fighter 64.2
Wattage: Red Dragon is 103w, Fighter is 112w.
Temps: Red Dragon is 50C, Fighter is 55C

[zergbitcore]

Is it possible to activate RX 6700 XT fast timings settings from Radeon Software using Phoenix miner command? I found radeon software usually set default settings instead of my presets.
update: "-mt 2" works well with RX 6700 XT

has anybody got experience on overclocking 3070 3060 gpus with phoenix command parameters? does it really works in Linux?

Make sure your timezone, date and time are correct in Windows.

Certificate issues can be caused by incorrect dates / times on the local machines.
