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

[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:)

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 .

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?

Yes, it utilizes the cpu less, so that will help.

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

What do you mean not working, is it crashing the rig, or no change in hash?

rr = restart ?

SRB should work fine with all Polaris cards, so rx580 8g should work too.
Maybe you can upload your log file from both rigs somewhere and share, that way i can get more info on what is happening.

It does not start, the miner windows closes when gets to enumerate the gpus. Nothing inside logs.

That's not related to tweaking profiles then, they get applied after all the gpu's got inited but right before connecting to the pool.

Hi Dok and mates!

Cant make tweaking work:(

I get error in log:
 Tweaking disabled - WinIO could not be loaded

I suspect the porblem that I dont have no WinIO64.sys nor WinIO64.dll.
If it is the problem - how I can instal them?

Tried different drivers till latest, the same error.

Please, help!

I don't know where you downloaded SRB from but download from https://www.srbminer.com/download.html
WinIO64.sys is bundled with the miner.

After that you need to give miner administrator privileges, without that you can't use tweaking profiles.
