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

My Vega 56 cards (reference cards with Samsung mem) is still running V64 BIOS.
With all these changes with the mem tool etc is there any advantage of going back to stock V56 BIOS?

for low power - yes, stock v56bios + tight timings are good. (800mv and up to 2100h/s cn-r)
But for max hashrate if you have low temps in your mining room and cheap electricity v64 bios is better (850-900mv and up to 2300h/s)

12 gpu rig, all rx 570 4GB, hashrate of all cards is lower than on my two other rigs, who have rx 570 and rx 550 or rx 460 combined

Rx 570 + rx 550/460 rig = hashrate of rx 570 around 30kh/s

All rx 570 rig = hashrate rx 570 is 24 kh/s

All settings are on auto

Hi, check your cpu is over 90%~ use, and because of this u have lower speed,i have the same issuse, maybe the doktor83 has a solution for that

[Markyz23]

I checked the cpu and you are right. It's around 98% all the time.

Any solutions for that?

If you are not doing any cpu mining then it shouldnt be.
Which algo?

[Markyz23]

No cpu mining. The new Upx2 algo is the case.

I just tested it with Mox and the cpu is at 15-20% on the same rig.

Yes it looks like something is killing the cpu with upx2, going to check it out maybe i can do something about it.

Great, thanks a lot:)

Ok i found a temporary fix/workaround until i fix it.
If you use "old_mode" the cpu usage will be normal. Only drawback is that you can't use auto settings if you want to use "old_mode", you need to set up things manually, or in gpu_conf.

I use a batch start file for single coins that take values from text files(pools, config and log). Does that mean that i have to use manual values for intensity, fragments,...?
So i can use the "old_mode" in my gpu config text file right?

If all gpu's use the same settings, you can do a simple as this in config file :

Code:

{
"cryptonight_type" : "upx2",
"intensity" : 105,
"worksize" : 8,
"double_threads" : true,
"old_mode" : true,
}

Or if your gpu's don't have the same settings you can do :

Code:

{
"cryptonight_type" : "upx2",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 105,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 1,
 "intensity" : 104,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 2,
 "intensity" : 106,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
},
{
 "id" : 3,
 "intensity" : 105,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 2,
 "old_mode" : true
}
]
}

The latest version 1.8.7 works perfectly for upx2. CPU is not overloaded. On the contrary on the same rig running at the same time srbminer and xmrig.

Will try it out, i used the 1.8.6 version yesterday. Otherwise i will use the "old_mode" solution.

Thanks a lot:)

[dragonmike]

the result vega56samsung(v64bios) srb 1.8.6 slower 5% & higher power usage 6% compared teamred, hope next iteration will better

Srb is 100% faster on Litev7, Tube, Haven, Gpu, Hycon, Mox, Wownero, than teamred.

Just because TRM not supporting them

But it's still true.

I still use more SRB and the day you short those watts i will never use other miner. Thanks doctor

P.S.:  Statistic for one of the most used algo in last days: turtle
 12 GPU rx 570/80 8GB Micron

SRB Miner - 97.3kH,1420W power consumption
TRM Miner - 92.5kH,1200W power consumption

Same settings for both

So are you saying you're getting more hash per watt with Teamredminer (unoptimised, at that) but still use SRB?
Dok, you should buy the guy a beer!

I am mining Monero coin with the both versions on the same rig . 8.6 and 8.7 . Both are keeping rr my rig after a few minutes ... All gpus in this rig are rx570 4GB . i have another rig with rx580 8G and your miner doesnt restart ... Do you know why i have this issues ? Thanks .

[symplink]

"If your Vega64 with Samsung mem. can handle tweak profile 10, then you will get some hashrate increase on it (thanks goes to Rednow, Gkumaran)"
Tried on 2 rigs - both with only samsung memory - on all 24 vega56 with 64 bios cards profile 10 not working - maybe a bug? on 1.8.6 not a problem with profile 5

Using most of electricity for free i am looking for most stable miner which is SRB and with higher core and memory settings too. So,i hope you understand it now. That beer is for you ...

trouble with upx2 and 12 gpu rig 470\480\570\580 4\8 gb

100%cpu load and 70% rate.


test 18.6.1 and 18.3.4 driver

8 gpu card rig work fine


test TRM
power lower -5-6%
rate better was 29-30 now 31-32 kh
to Dok - WHY?
