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

[hitmandn]

@hitmand @ipp2

i switched 18.6.1 drivers on a 470 4/8g mixed rig to the blockchain drivers to see if that's causing some issues with the 'invalid job' and @hitmand's 3 minute / gpu precompile time, but no - all should be fine with BC drivers, so at least now i know its not the driver that is making the problem.


Can you guys tell me which SRB version are you using? I see @hitmand uses 1.8.8 , have you tried 1.8.9 ?
Are you mining monero or some other CN/R coin ?

So one interesting thing about this is that it only occurs VERY occasionally. Once a day at most.

I've got all kinda of polaris cards on my rigs and after your post Dok, I went ahead and tried the 18.6.1 drivers on a single rig. I got them to mine at full speed by having the 'Radeon settings' be installed and manually one by one setting compute mode (so painful).

I can report back that it is the drivers. Blockchain drivers hang (doing so right now even) while 18.6.1 continues to work. Sorry for it taking so long to time to respond but the blockchain drivers did not fail for 4 days nearly! They just failed about 20 minutes prior to reporting this and still are while typing this.

In fact I had time to start a new test rig with 1 card with 18.6.1 and it's working fine also.

5 rigs (with 6/7 cards each)


What's interesting is when the BC drivers stall...it isn't a one time thing. They will stall through multiple blocks for up to an hour. Even if you reboot and start the script up again it will just not work and stall out. The popular pools don't matter, they all do the same issue. This points to not being a hardware issue at all.

So I think it has something to do with blocks themselves.

Exactly, it's the same things, maybe BC has stuck at that time.....They just failed about 20 minutes prior to reporting too

Why it's always cause in precompiling program

Im not surprised you got stale shares, holy cr**, 8 minutes to precompile 15 blocks?!
Please upload the logfile somewhere and send me the link in pm

Anyone know a coin that is using the old swap algo? Believe it was renamed "Super Fast".

Hi Doc, here is the start.bat file.

I have the same issue. Tried to reinstall the driver and the same result. The mb looks ok and everything runs and recognized. Any idea what is going on?

Hello,

I'm knew to SRB miner and I'm having some difficulty. I followed instructions in the guide and can only manage to get.

Times infinity. I'm using the generic guided set up with V1.8.9 and 8.6.1 for my vegas. I'm not sure what else to add, any advice?

Try reinstalling the drivers using DDU.
Otherwise, it might be an indication of a faulty motherboard.

Show me your start.bat file

I can't open it says the archive is broken, and why is it 45mb ?  

[doktor83]

SRBMiner-CN.exe --enablecoinforking --config Config\config-litev7.txt --pools pools.txt --logfile %LOGTIME%

Try without the --enablecoinforking parameter, maybe that's causing the issue.

Thanks Doc. It has been working for weeks. Yesterday it stopped working and I rebooted the box. The miner started to be like that. My other miners are using the same software and same config. All are just fine.

i cant seem to get miners stable at --cgputweakprofile 4,4,4,4,4
Only half seem stable (i am not on facility maybe just need to reboot or so i am using Awesome Miner)

i choose low value because default my hashrate is around 1.85Kh/s for CN R, which i think Vega should do atleast 2Kh/s

my startup commando is

--ccryptonighttype normalv4 --cgpuid 0,1,2,3,4 --cgpuworksize 16,16,16,16,16 --cgpuintensity 112,112,112,112,112 --cgputhreads 2,2,2,2,2 --cgputweakprofile 4,4,4,4,4

and use OverdriveNtools

core 1450/900
mem 935/900

are some settings off are am i missing a point/setting here?

i don't know why, i copy it from folder SRBMiner running. Could you need login my rig for check it, i can give you anydesk info

Interesting, then i guess it isn't that parameter that causes the issue, but maybe windows pulled some driver update. To be sure that's not the case you could do a quick DDU and driver reinstall.

The default ~1850hs without tweaks for a Hynix mem Vega seems ok with those clocks in SRB.

So what is your hashrate with tweak_profile 4 ?

Also are you cooling those Vegas enough ?

Okay, got it now.
Checked one of the logs and i reallt think the BC driver is the guilty one here, or maybe not enough virtual memory is allocated.

Sometimes precompilation time is just right (few seconds) :

Code:

[2019-06-09 22:47:53] Precompiling program [BUS_ID: 7]
[2019-06-09 22:47:57] Finished program precompilation [BUS_ID: 7]
[2019-06-09 22:47:58] Precompiling program [BUS_ID: 3]
[2019-06-09 22:48:03] Finished program precompilation [BUS_ID: 3]

And sometimes is crazy high (few minutes) :

Code:

I know about FuryCoin, it uses that algo

Hello Dok,

They tend to 1950/1980 which seems decent if remain stable
I run facility with also alot of Asics running also (around 70x)

The miners dont go above 60c most play around 50 to 55
So i would say i cool the good also doing 900mV on mem

I get ~2100hs on my Gigabyte V56 Hynix with tweak_profile 10, but i guess i am lucky.
Going to implement a parameter than 'weakens' the tweak profiles in next version so maybe you will be able to achieve more hash.

I am not even coming close to 10:)) 4 for doable it seems alot of rigs running 4 pretty much stable since i remote control the miners by awesome miner maybe a simple reboot Will do the fix

I used driver fixdag, only this driver give me 9xx h.how virtual memory should i set it, I set 42gb for this case

I used driver fixdag, only this driver give me 9xx h.how virtual memory should i set it, I set 42gb for this case

try number of gpu's x 8gb. So if 6gpu rig then try 48gb.
Also i sent you a personal message
