Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[pehoko]

Agree, I didn't find the way to work 10.x with older cards.

r9 series need to stay on 9.7, they bug on 10.x   except the 390

Agree, I didn't find the way to work 10.x with older cards.

I updated to the new Nicehash Legacy 1.8.1.5, which has the option to switch to Claymore's Cryptonight v9.7.

Running 9.7, everything seems to work fine now.

Thanks!

Is anyone else having 'GPU ## found incorrect share" errors using this miner w/ Nicehash ?

Probably around 10% of my shares are incorrect. Changing the '-h' value doesn't make it better nor worse.

I'm using Radeon R9 280x's with 16gb virtual memory, and "-h 700 -dmem 1".

Yes, this is the problem I mentioned above. As Carlo said, it's not flawless on older R9 cards, specifically Pitcairn (78xx and 270) and Tahiti (280X, 79xx, etc.), I do find it works fine on the 285/380 (Tonga GCN 3rd series). 10.2 is important as my cards run a lot cooler with less power, but that might just be because they're churning out rubbish. I might rebuild my rigs and put all the older cards in one rig running 9.7 and all the newer, stable stuff into another and run 10.2 - sounds like a great plan but I bet I'm more likely to end up with everything broken...

Hi. Help please, I'm from Venezuela.

I have a rig of 470, 460 cards.

I use the v10.2 and blockchain drivers in win 10. Value -h not defined.

I receive many share rejected. Nicehash pool. Europe, USA, Brazil in all I receive a lot of "share rejected"

Excuse my bad English.

It's not claymore I get rejected shares and pool interrupts on sgminer and GG it's nicehash

Interesting that your cards run significantly cooler on 10.2. I haven't noticed any difference in temperatures and both versions of the miner run very cool: I get temps of 50-60C with my fans at 45%. Hashrate is 2020h/s running 4x R9 280x's.

The 270/X Pitcairn cards were cooler by about 10C. My office is now so hot they run at about 65-70C at 100% fans on a good day. The hashrate is also better, about 440H/s vs 400 on 9.7. Obviously this is all a moot point if they're slinging out bad data all the time.

Cryptonote is also a lot cooler than Equihash I noticed.

Finally, the Beta Blockchain drivers on Win10 took my R9 380s from 17.7MH/s to 19.5MH/s in ETH as well as making them respond properly to Power Limit controls in MSI AB so they are slightly underclocked as ETH doesn't seem core speed sensitive on those cards, it is memory speed sensitive though.

[carlo_0000]

on my 380 2G there was no difference in speed with blockchain driver

[pehoko]

On my 380 4G claymore 10.2 works but sometimes stops accepting shares after few hours. So I am with sgminer - no problems but speed is slower.

Hi,

I tried switching to monero from eth mining and it works fine on one of my rig getting 800h/s per gpu but my other rig gets 300ish mhs on all card for 1 second than all but the first card drop 2 0mhs. They're both identical except for GPU brands XFX GTS 580s 8gb vs nitro+ 580 8gb.

Any idea? Ethereum is working fine on both.

Is there any plan to add dual mining support?

Check your virtual memory is set high enough, from what I can remember Claymore's Cryptonote miner needs 8GB virtual memory PER CARD to work , or at least work to its best abilities.

Try your setup with a different miner, this might help fault find where the problem is. I prefer to use SGminer for Monero https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm/releases .

Hello,

What are your settings for the RX580 8G? Core Speed/Mem Speed/Voltage? What do you have your -h set at? Are you running SMOS?

I'm wondering if you are able to get it stable for longer than 24hrs. I can usually get my RX580 8G rigs stable for 5-8 hrs but then it will reset so I end up getting 3-4 resets in a day. When I was mining ETH with the same rig, it would be stable for 24hr+. Right now my settings are 1200/2000/1000mV with a -h of 1600 running SMOS. I am also running RX570 4G rigs and they are a little more stable at 1-2 resets a day. Not sure why the higher memory cards are having issues. Settings for the 4G cards are 1200/1750/1000mV with a -h of 850 running SMOS.

Both of my rigs are using 11 GPUs, 8G of RAM, z270 chipset.

Cheers,

[leemaster]

It would be very good to have a nvidia version

I would hazard a guess that your memory is too far OC'ed. Cards that were stable on ETH for me, have been less tolerant under Cryptonote or Equihash - maybe because both of those are much more memory hard. To be honest, this exact reason is why I stopped using Nicehash Miner and just configure the software to point to their servers as I found when it switches settings, one set of OC/voltage/config for cards that worked in ETH might crash them when it flips to another algo.

I had the same issue and I think I discovered why - Cryptonight uses all of the GPUs memory while ETH only uses ~2.3GB. This means the memory needs more power on cryptonight.

Long story short: increase the power limit on the GPUs. I had mine at 0 for ETH but +5-10 makes my cards stable for Cryptonight.

Interesting, I didn't know that ETH only uses 2.3Gb of memory.

As for the OC'd cards, 2000mHz is actually stock speed so unless I need to underclock to solve this issue.

When you've increased the power limit, is that the memory voltage or just the overall power level? In SMOS I have two options which is why I'm asking. Do you know what voltage level you were running the cards? I'm at 1000mV right now, which is undervolted I believe. I'm not sure what stock voltage levels are (maybe 1300 or 1400?)

Thanks!

2.3GB is the current size of the DAG file (epoch 150 I think). Cryptonote definitely uses more (it tells you on initialisation exactly how much) and hammers the memory controller a lot more, it's a lot less tolerant of overclocking too. 1050-1100mV seems to be 'normal' voltage for the R9 and RX cards when in 3D mode.

Thx for share, my rx470 4g get 820 with cryptonight 9.7. New version get 830 but not stable, all with same setting. I dont know why. My mem volt 1080, gpu temp 60, do u think its still safe for long term use? Thx u, love u all..

[Ursul0]

some bad juju on the 370 in slot with display dummy.
Got 4 more of 470 on the same platform - doing just fine, but this one produces rejects 1/4 of the time.

[tg88]

Could we get an update to 9.7 which allows for mining of Electroneum? I've got older cards too. 10.2 just doesn't seem to work well with the older stuff.

You can test the -dmem 0 option in 10.2 if you are experiencing instability.

or if you want, it is also possible to mine electroneum in version 9.7 without problems.

Also have issues with starting and never stopping to prodiuce "low difficulty share" on vegas
so... fuck it!
370&470 back to sgminer - better rate and almost 0 rejects
and vegas are doing well on stak (same rate, lower dev fee)

EDIT: the reason to use claymore was the convenience of monitoring (EthMan) from a single point of access - not worth it in this case
