SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.9.3 - native algo switching

[hesido]

Is it normal for the rig to hang if I open the GPU Z together with SRBMiner?

Whenever I open gpuz the rig hangs or the SRBminer starts to show 0 h / s.

You may be overclocking on the limits maybe.

My experience with GPU-Z is that now I have to start it before I start SRB, or 1 out of 3-4 times one of the GPU's crashes.

With GPU-Z, the rig very quickly increases performance but it's stuck at it 95-96% performance.

Without GPU-Z, the rig can go full performance but it takes at least half an hour to do so (this is something that I recently discovered, will be doing more observations..)


@Doktor
Every once in a while, after  an algo change, after the GPU's are initialized, the hashing does not begin, and the watchdog does not react at all so I have to manually restart:

This happens once or twice a day.

I'm using the same tried and tested drivers from the  good old times, so that's why there's a warning.

What virtual memory size should I set in Win 10 for rig with 4 GPU 8gb (2xRX470 8gb and 2xRX480 8gb) for CN-Heavy algo?
32 GB will be enough?

Yes, 32g is fine.  I run 9 card rig and have my minimum set to 32 and maximum at 64.

Hello.

A strange thing started happening today. On of my RX 570 had a hashrate drop, 50% to be precise. If i change the number of threads to 1, the hashrate goes up to 720 h/s. If i leave it on 2 threads its 405 h/s.
Before today the hashrate with 2 threads was a constant 920 h/s.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

It will not happened by itself, something change on your system or settings.

[Markyz23]

Hello.

Nothing was changed, the card crashed. I restarted the miner and there was the hashrate drop. I even switched the card to my othe rig, same thing.
I did some benchmarks with the card and everything was as expected, no issue with gaming or stress test.

Any sugestions?

Should i reflash the card again and try it with stock bios?

Anyrhing else i should do?

[wacko]

Nothing was changed, the card crashed. I restarted the miner and there was the hashrate drop. I even switched the card to my othe rig, same thing.

It's expected for the hashrate to drop after the card crashes, an OS reboot is usually required to get it back to normal. It is strange though that it's also slow when you put it into another rig. Did you reinstall the drivers on that 2nd rig when you moved this card there? Halving of the hashrate also happens when the workload goes from "compute" to "graphics", so you might also check that option in AMD settings.

     Anybody know the proper way to get the worker id, fixed diff, all to work correctly when using v1.6.7 while on minexmr?
The format:   address.worker id+fixed diff    doesn't work for me. I can get the fixed diff working, but it doesn't seperate the hash rate from the base address.
This is the 2nd biggest pool, somebody has had to run into this problem before. I have no problem getting this to work on xmr-stak & cast.
Just for the sake of being exact, when I say worker id, I mean the name you give to your rig.
  I see a big bump in hashrate with srb over the others and I'm kinda stuck with this.
Thank you in advance.

I just try even i don't use minexmr, and it working :

SRBMiner-CN.exe --ccryptonighttype normalv7 --cgpuid 0 --cgpuintensity 0 --cgputhreads 2 --cpool pool.minexmr.com:4444 --cwallet monerowallet.digi+22222 --cpassword x --cworker digi

Diff set 22222 and on https://minexmr.com/#worker_stats there is *base address* and digi worker

What doesn't separate? The pool, or are you using a proxy so when you click on the link in proxy you get the "joint" address?

Doktor, two things:

1/ the little script you wrote to create a log on every restart... well, it doesn't create any log at all.

2/ Sep 16th is the date for the next XMR fork (as read on the 8th Altcoin thread). SRBMiner ready?

1. It works, at least on 8 rigs i own (win10, win7)
2. I have info that the fork will be on Oct 18th.

1. Could it have anything to do with permissioning/access rights? There was another guy a few pages back who had the same problem I think (unless the logs are created and stored somewhere else?)
2. Let's dig further. Would be a shame to miss the start.

Does it create a log if you just give it a --logfile log.txt?

On sept 9 there was a monero dev meeting, thats where the october 18th is from. I also saw a sept 30th somewhere, but nowhere sept 16  

We wont miss it, i will release 1.6.8 soon, after that 1.6.9 will contain the new algo

"Does it create a log if you just give it a --logfile log.txt?"  <--- yes it does

[Amgine]

"Does it create a log if you just give it a --logfile log.txt?"  <--- yes it does

It didnt work for me too so I used the command line I found on stackexchange

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
@echo off
cd %~dp0

for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set "YY=%dt:~2,2%" & set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%" & set "MM=%dt:~4,2%" & set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
set "HH=%dt:~8,2%" & set "Min=%dt:~10,2%" & set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"

set "datestamp=%YYYY%%MM%%DD%" & set "timestamp=%HH%%Min%%Sec%"
set "fullstamp=%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%_%HH%-%Min%-%Sec%"
set fullstamp=%fullstamp: =%
set fullstamp=%fullstamp:,=.%.txt
cls
SRBMiner-CN.exe --config config-xmr.txt --pools pools-ocean.txt --logfile %fullstamp%

you will get the logfile in format of yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.txt

i use blochchain amd drivers by august
can Adrenalin 18.6.1 or Adrenalin 18.3.4 drivers decrease hashrate for RX570 4gb/ RX580 4gb ?

Same question here..

I use blockchain Aug23 driver too..

for RX 470, 480, 570, 580..

Is there any difference in performance using the Adrenalin driver?

My hashrate currently (blockchain driver):

RX 470, 480, 570, 580 - 4GB:
-CN7, Stellitev4: 950-1000
-Heavy, Bittubev2: 750-775 (800+ in some cards)
-Fast: 1850-1900
-Litev7: 1900-1950

RX 470, 480, 580 - 8GB:
-CN7, Stellitev4: 1050-1100
-Heavy, Bittubev2: 1050-1100 (1100+ in some cards)
-Fast: 2050-2100
-Litev7: 2100

So.. Is it worth changing the driver?

Cool stats mate, can you show your conf ? I got rx 570 8 gb with micron mem and moded bios and i cant get more than 780 with 1167/2050!

Hi guys,
Need some assistance in setting up vega 56 GPU. I had difficulty installing vega 56 earlier as Win10 OS didn't detect gpu in device manager. I had to switch pcie csm option in bios for Windows to detect. I installed adrenalin 18.6.1 driver. Upon reboot, disable and enable vega, started mining using srb 1.6.7 , after loading kernal i get amd display driver has stopped responding. I haven't perform any tuning yet. It's not working on stock.

Processor : Intel g4400
Ram : 4gb
Hdd: 120 SSD
Mobo : Asus b250 mining expert
GPU: 1xSapphire pulse vega 56.

Please assist.

Hi Guys,
I'm still unable to setup my vega. Need assistance.

I use adrenaline drivers, actually the first ones that they released, so I might have to look into upgrading them in the near future to get some more fixes in but at least it works.
