Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[Masikai]

just to be absolutely clear you removed support for 6xxx series 1gb GPU's ??

thanks

[Ethorsen]

Thanks a lot Claymore for this new release. I've been waiting hoping for it to be the magical hashing booster grail

Unfortunately, after trying all sorts of -h -dmem combination, I can't get higher rates that what sgminer is already giving.  Most of my rigs run 580 polaris cards.

I'll try again on your future releases. Keep up the good work

same error as above
GpuMiner dk2an0 failed -4


if I add -h 832 to the config half the cards stop erroring.
I really don't understand how this works. I have a mix of RX 570 / 580s 4gb and 8gb

vega56 here, -dmem 1 with hbcc on results in artifacting with default -h due to more mem than on GPU. I changed it to -h 1800 and it's stable. -h 1900 = artifacting even though it's below 8GB. Max hashrate regardless of setting is 1500H/s.

virtual memory 32GB

[xeridea]

Vega 56 ~1400H/s, -h 1512 -dmem 1, HBM @ 950
XMR-stak gets ~1780
Without HBCC CM gets 1200, XMR-Stak gets 1300

470 8GB 1750 strap, -mclock 2040, ~752H/s, testing stability
9.7 was like 680-700, but unstable.

For some reason 5th card won't enable HBCC, have 4GB ram, but 64GB pagefile. It won't even enable by itself May need to play musical GPUs

Why I get

"DevFee: failed to mine for a long time, something is wrong, "nofee" mode is enabled until successful devfee mining."

I've had an issue with HBCC and more than 5 cards whether the 5th card is an R9, RX or Vega. I've stuck with 4 Vega and have it running with HBCC successfully. Let me know if GPU placement resolves this.

And where is the sample setup for production: XMR + Zec?

It's a bug. I've removed v10.0 and will upload v10.1 in a few minutes. I made too many changes in this version, bugs are quite possible.

This version is not so easy to use because you have to adjust "-h" and "-dmem" values often, I will try to improve it soon.
1. "-dmem 1" requires twice more memory, make sure you have enough virtual memory. For example, if you have 6 GPUs 8GB, set virtual memory to 6*8=48GB.
2. Check how much memory miner allocates, it shows something like "(Memory used: 5128MB)", make sure you have this memory on your GPU.
3. You can see low hashrate if you use almost all memory on GPU, try to reduce "-h" value a bit.

Guys if you are getting the "GpuMiner dk2an0 failed" error, be sure to note Claymore's comments above. I was initially getting the same error with my RX480 8GB rig. Lowering to -h 1024 will solve the issue but make the program only see 4GB on my cards. After changing page file to 48GB, the miner runs beautifully with default -h and -dmem settings.

Ellesmere RX480 8GB, same modded BIOS, default miner settings:
CryptoNote Miner 9.7 - 850 H/s
CryptoNote Miner 10 - 987 H/s

Thanks Claymore!

AMD rx550 not work 

no ASM binary  found

[Coin_Miner1]

That really sucks I will have to buy larger SSDs to increase paging file to get the miner to work.

[Claymore]

IF YOU USE V10.0 - UPDATE TO V10.1.

- fixed some critical bugs.

Yes currently only popular cards are supported: Pitcairn, Tahiti, Hawaii, Fiji, Tonga, Ellesmere, Baffin, Vega.
I will add other cards but a bit later.

It works now with stock settings but you didn't solve the Nicehash problem.

Because I need more time for it.

[treanski]

hey claymore first of all thanks for your work...

i´ve tried out the new version vs sgminer & xmr stak amd...sorry bro but it is still not good enough at least for rx 580 8gb

restults

xmr stak + sgminer ~5500h/s - 650 watts from the wall---6*rx580 8gb @2gpu threads
claymore 10.0 ~5200h/s with dmem 1 - 650-680 watts from the wall(jumps between 650 - 680) ~5000h/s with dmem 0 and 650watts from the wall +dev fee
im not greedy and i dont care about 1% fee, but like all miners i have to look whats most profitable...

your miner with 1 gpu thread is nearly so fast like sgminer+xmrstak with 2 threads....im no coder or developer and i dont know shit about it, but if its somehow possible think about to implement mining with 2 gpu threads and your miner could the fastest ...

This version is probably good for gpus with lots of memory like 8g and so forth.
I don´t think it´ll help my old 3g cards enough to warrant me to update the software.

Great. Thanks!

So increasing page file size seems to allow the miner to work with the default -h and -dmem on 8gb polaris.
Speeds are indeed now slightly better than sgminer but have to be tested poolside.

Looks good but why the weird memory doubling solution instead of just giving the posibility to set threads, worksize and intensity?

What drivers do you use?
