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

[eddirush]

I have 1070 but with this miner I get only 18 mh for ethereum.
Can I get around 30 mh with this miner if I set it up correctly?

try this set

memory +500
core +100
power 85%-90%

I tried, but hashrate is the same, 18 mh per card with Phoenix miner.

I have a GTX1070 running on Linux. My config settings are:

-nvidia
-nvKernel 3
-nvdo 1
-proto 3
-cdm 1
-prate 0.0703
-coin eth
-log 1
-logdir /home/USER/Miners/logs
-logfile ethermine-pm.log
-pool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555
-pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555
-wal YOUR_WALLET.nvidia

Need to run PhoenixMiner as root.
Average speed (5 min): 25.050 MH/s
Effective speed: 24.51 MH/s; at pool: 24.49 MH/s

Hope it helps.

If ur using PM with win7 u will get 18mh on all GTX10xx series cards doesnt matter what drivers u use either, dev hasnt fixed this problem yet I messaged him several times already, it started earlier this year I think, using Linux or Win10 ull see full speed, if u want to keep using win7 then switch to Gminer, they solved the problem pretty quickly, I use Pminer on my Win10 rigs and Gminer on win7 rigs

still cant figure out how to fix this damn issue .....clkernel 3 is ignored for gpu
i downgraded driver,tryed on linux but still dont work. help plz
eth for 570 4gb should stay alive

[bategojko74]

maybe due to driver?, i find st in this topic https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/1966

From 19.X.X till now all amd gpu drivers support 8gb single memory allocation. You can try installing other driver but your chances are little.

Um 4gb hasnt been viable for a while now.  Switch to another coin or get a bigger gpu.  This isnt a technical / programming issue.  Zombie mode for 4gb worked for a good bit but was always going to fade away.  It was a limited time hack that once the dag grew it would slowly fail until it completely failed.

FIXED: You were right for the driver. Install driver 20.5.1 or later and you will be able to run -clKernel 3. It seems that 8GB allocation is introduced in 20.5.1 driver. I have installed 20.4.2 driver on my computer and got the same message as you "clKernel 3 is ignored", and my "Max allocation size" went down to 4244635648.

What about -clgreen 1 ? Why my RX 580 8Gb ignores it? Latest 21.8.1 driver.

[100gh]

It's strange how Phoenix miner gets noticed by windows defender every few months
This time its PUA:Win32/Presenoker on 5.6c
probably a false positive right?

[bategojko74]

What about -clgreen 1 ? Why my RX 580 8Gb ignores it? Latest 21.8.1 driver.

-clgreen 1 is currently not supported. Why would you like to trade higher hashrate for lower power consumption and lower hashrate at the current ETH prices?

I just try to find best hashrate with best power consumption...
F.e. TR miner uses 4% less power with 1.2% less hashrate in compare with PM for my RX 580 8Gb cards.
I wanted to try PM with clgreen kernels. Maybe with them it can be better than TR.
PM make more rejected shares on nicehash than TR.

tk u, love u so muchhhh...

Thanks! Without clgreen speed faster? More power uses?

Actually there is not enough difference between having -clgreen on or off on either power or speed as I can tell.
I have ran it for long periods both ways, no noticeable impact on money or power. But, the -clKernel 3 instead of -clKernel 1
immediately increased my hash rate as I mentioned earlier, not a lot, but I welcome any small improvements.
The AMD cards with Phoenix work unbelievably well. I never have a crash or anything negative. It just runs forever without any intervention.
It's a great miner. Hope you find your issue with the green setting but unless you get different results than I do I'm not sure you will see much gain.
Let me know if you get different results please.

May I be so bold to ask what settings or config,txt you use to start PhoenixMiner for the rx580 (I have a rx580 8gb) also if anyone has some idea for settings to use with a r9 390?

Will be much appreciated.

My post above has the complete log of all the settings in my config.txt file.
Just look at this line:   2021.08.04:19:05:12.583: main config.txt:

Sorry,
Must have been blind and lack of sleep I didn't notice it.
Hope you can forgive me.

hi guys, anyone got a fix for error: "The option -clKernel 3 is ignored for GPU1" ?
i've got a couple of rx 470 4gb, after reading the new version notes, thought to give eth another try, but it's not working at all, btw i'm using 20.6.1 driver.

4gb is no longer viable.  You need 6gb (well technically 5gb but 6gb is actually findable).
Either pick another coin/algo or get a bigger vram video card.

Sorry, I'm using TM miner. It uses less power with a little bit slower speed.

thx for the answer, but have read the first page of this post? or is it not right anymore?
it says polaris with 4gb vram or am i making a mistake here?

Well here is what it says:

 (AMD Polaris, Baffin, Tonga, or Fiji cards only) Limit the DAG size to <n> MB to allow mining on 4 GB cards a few weeks after epoch 373 on Windows (or 381 on Linux).


We are currently at epcoh 432

You are a couple of months late.  


Look at ETC, ERGO, Raven

Problem report: I'm testing phoenix with RX 6600 XT and on both rigs there are more than 30% of stale shares. On the pool I can see ~7% of stale shares. This does not happen with Gminer for example.

I have the same problem with rx5700. Do you find a solution?

[mmaenpaa]

Hi,

I can also report high % of stales / rejected (>10%) with RX 6600XT with Phoenix 5.7b

With NBMiner 39.0 only about 0.05% stales/rejected.
