Different cards need different tuning

A user reported good results on the AMD RX 5500 with --xintensity 24

Thank you. I have GTX 1070

Thank you. I have GTX 1070

I will write a pool tuning guide later.

Accepted/Rejected/Stale/ (Accepted/rejected percentage)
1000      /   1       /16    / (99.9%)

If you see alot of shares on the 3rd column, your xintensity is probobly too high. If you get more than 1% stale shares and the pool doesn't pay for stales reduce the xintensity. If you get rejected shares (2 column) check in the log what the error is. Perhaps your clocks are too high. when tuning use gpuz to check the workload of the gpu. At xintensity 1 the gpu is only working 95%. You save some power, but hashrate is lost.. .--xintensity 224 is giving 100% gpu workload. This give good results on miningpoolhub, 2miners, nanopool, woolypooly and many other pools.

Higher xintensity more power, better hashrate, but lower poolside hashrate on some pools.
Low xintensity less power (The tdp of the cards can be reduced without hurting performance) fewer rejected shares, less stale shares. Works on more pools. but Lower local hashrate

How to setup for ETH + ZIL mining on different pools?

How to setup for ETH + ZIL mining on different pools?

see in the scripts:

tbminer_shardpool_eth+zil.bat (ethereum on 2miners.com+zil on shardpool.org)
tbminer_rustpool_eth+zil.bat (ethereum on 2miners.com+zil on rustpool.xyz)

you can change to another ethereum pool than 2miners

Thank you SO MUCH! As far as I remember from all the times at bitcointalk, you always was very responsive persone!

Radeon VII and Rx Vega 56 needs memtweak to run good.

NVIDIA gtx 1080ti, 1080, titanx need "The pill hashrate enlarger"

First, big fan of your work over the years sp_ !
Second, I am trying to tweak my R7 to get the old hashrate I used to get with much older drivers.
Yours work with the very latest AMD drivers.
I'm getting very low watt usage about 50 watts less than usual, but also almost half the speed.
I'm not sure if it's from the drivers or intensity or what.
Using the same clock volt settings as before.
I get 1MH faster for my 6800.

Is there a way to see the intensity currently being used with Dynamic?
Also being able to set different intensity for different cards would be great!

v1.12 support setting the xintensity for each card:

--xintensity [1024,2048,4096]

Dynamic is using yout hashrate to calculate the intensity, but the work on the AMD cards is not completed yet. So defaults are nerfed.

What's the max --xintensity for AMD? 25?

Under Raveos this is not good 

Is there possible to make syntax something like "--server2 --user2"?

Here is a post from another user running a stock clock test on different --xintensities . Note that too high intensity can give stale shares, and lower poolside hashrate on some pools.

Still a problem with iGPU 5700G.

Stats crash the miner. Gotta have the --no-stats option when using the iGPU.

Only happens with the iGPU, not when you use it with other cards.

I do hope you keep working on the code.
But gotta say I will use other miners as the system becomes laggy with AMD cards when you use this miner. You can't use the system for other stuff really when you use your Display device for mining with this one. Other miners allow a responsive system even when mining.
You will be good to use a dedicated setup for mining instead.

Vega 64 performance is subpar.

Same setting I get ~43Mh/s with SBMiner for Vega 64 (OC & tuned) while TBMiner only nets ~36Mh/s with same settings. You need to crank the wattage up considerably to have above 40Mh/s performance on the Vega 64 with TBMiner.
SBMiner uses only ~160W for that 43Mh/s while TBMiner needs 200+ watts or you lose performance considerably if you don't allow it to guzzle power.
SBMiner is much more efficient there in it's implementation.

Your RX 6900XT performance is one of the best though if you don't mind the "laggy" desktop if you use the system.
68Mh/s ~120-128W (software reading) if tuned for low power with xintensity -1 dynamic mode.

It's good for the RX 6000 series overall.

Mining on the Internal graphics will lag your computer and perhaps not worth it because of extra powerusage/ low hash? I will put an issue up on github so we can try to remove the crash.

added the issue to our github:

https://github.com/sp-hash/TeamBlackMiner/issues

Vega 64 performance is subpar.

You need to use memtweak to boost the hashrate on the vegas

https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/cpgh5w/rx_vega_56_49mhs50mhs_guide/

It's good for the RX 6000 series overall.

Good on the RX 5000 series as well. Not so good on the rx 5x0 series.


But we are rewriting the kernel to boost the performance. Need some more time


Added new linux build of the vertcoin miner

https://github.com/sp-hash/SPMiner/releases/

spminer5_ubuntu_18_4.zip


In Vertcoin’s case, a halving happens roughly every four years. When the halving happens – approximately December 8, 2021, the reward per block will decrease from 25 to 12.5 VTC coins per block plus transaction fees.

I tried to install this miner and got the error:

A cuda runtime error occured: the launch timed out and was terminated

I am using the most recent Nvidia drivers. These include cuda 11.4

[sp_]

Windows 10? Which cards in the rig?
can you take a screenshot?
You need to install the full driver package from nvidia.com

if you have many cards you need virtual memory of 64 gb


TBMiner v1.12 testing:


The gtx 1080ti is crashing more often on the default --xintensity 224

Thanks for the info no xintensity!
In regards to Vega and VII, with default mem timings other miners(with OLD drivers which I don't wanna run) seem to get better speeds.  The Watt Usage is 50 less though so I don't mind it much!
However also your 6000 series speeds are insanely good pool side seems to be hitting 70s at time, while others are high 50s. 7% higher at least local and so far 15% higher pool side with MPH.
If I could just get my R7 up to around 70-80mh with TBM I'd be sooo happy.
In fact maybe it's hitting those speeds pool side and just not showing it PC side.  I'll report back later.
Because I hit 170mh pool side at times with just 2 cards.

Thanks

I always get good returns on miningpoolhub.com with TBM. The poolside hashrate is good, the payouts are high. A win win for the miner.

[Ramsete2]

Started testing latest TBMiner (v1.12) with a 6xRTX3080 rig, is it normal that hashrate is fluctuating like crazy?
Currently using on mmpOS, mining to Flexpool.

https://ibb.co/KVmXL35

[sp_]

If you mine on high difficulty pool, hashrate fluctation is normal. But check the log file. Any disconnect messages or errors? Please take i picture of the mining window.

Is this a vardiff pool? with changing difficulty all the time?


what's the stale share rate? on the www page? Flexpool doesn't pay for stale shares, you need to mine with a low --xintensity
