Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[Entrax]

Hi,
i read (i guess it was in this thread) that the memory latency is the important factor by mining XMR.
Sorry if this was written before but my question is: Is there a indicator on graphics cards to estimate the mem.-latency or the hash rate? Anything with what you can say how a GC performs?


thx in advance

Hi Claymore,

In your FAQ: 2MB per hash is the guide for the -h switch.

So for MSI R9 390 8GB GPU, would it be correct to set the -h as follows:

8GB=8000MB (8192MB to be exact)

h = 8192 / 2 = 4096 hash/s

so -h 4096 ?

Also what is the difference of -a 1 and -a 4 ?

The 390 seems to like -a 4 better than 1

Currently I set the miner to drive the 390 at -h 1376 (same settings for 290x 4GB)

but I am tempted to use 1376 x 2 = 2752 since 390 has twice the amount of memory than 290/290x

Your advise?

Thanks

If GPU has 8GB memory it does not mean that the fastest mode is to use all its memory. It will stuck with memory access.
For 290x/390x use "-h 1376", for 290/390 use "-h 1280". Miner does it automatically if you don't specify "-h" option.
Select best "-a" by checking hashrates and power consumption (if you necessary) for every "-a" value.

thanks - will follow this rule.

btw, will you be adding XMR miner under monitoring utility just like in your ETH dual miner?

understand that ETH and XMR are memory intensive coins, so they may not make a good pair, however.... given profitability of the two coins is good currently, perhaps XMR + 2nd coin will make sense, just like in CDM.

Your thoughts?

Thanks

Hello. When I mine at Nicehash I got this error time to time:

18:52:30:073   10a0   Error in server response
: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"error":{"code":24,"message":"Unauthorizedworker"}}

Haven't this error when mining with -nofee option or at dwarfpool


And is it possible to make switching between pools from pool.txt without restarting miner?

ASUS RX 470 underclocked 1100 core 1800 mem

540 H/s

140W from wall with EVGA 1000W G2, Celeron Dual core, ASrock H97 Mobo. ETH + SC uses about 180W.

Does Monero like fast memory? High core clocks?

Does anyone have some good Wattman settings for RX 480 mining XMR? I am making around 720 hs with memory over clocked to 2200 but its not stable.

Looks like very high number for rx 480. Check the temperature of card - it may throttle and cause instability

[hawkfish007]

Has anyone been able to run CrytoNote stable overnight? I had no success, CryptoNote will hang after 2-4 hours. The same rigs have been dual mining for months without any issue.

[someone307]

Could you remove printf buffering for this miner (and for the CPU version too)? At the moment, it's nearly impossible to redirect stdout to file, and some folks (there were such requests previously, according to google results) really need this for automation. Using auto-generated logs is not an option for some reasons.

It's only an one-line fix:

Code:

setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

Thanks!

I have converted my MSI R9-390s (my old ETH rigs) -- running stable 2 days now.

-tt 80 -a 4 -h 1372 mining at Dwarfpool

my Nanos and RX480s are still mining ETH though.

[ps_jb]

-tt 80 -a 4 -h 1372 mining at Dwarfpool

Do you think -h 1372 can be used for RX 480?

[citronick]

-tt 80 -a 4 -h 1372 mining at Dwarfpool

Do you think -h 1372 can be used for RX 480?

I tried it but didnt seems to have any difference.

So for Nanos and 480s, I just default and let miner do its thing.

Using default -a 1 and -h 1024 seems to be stable - its running the whole day.

Looks like mining at XMR.Nicehash, I get lower payout.... so back to Dwarfpool.

Hello dear. I am a beginner and Mining at me to you have 2 questions. I have the video card Sapphire HD 6970 dual x. 384h acceleration and speed without intervention, 15.7 driver, miner Claymore 9.5. 1.5 days namaynil 0.16 .... Monroe. instructions to the programe Claymore stated that there is a fee for the use of 2.5%. My questions to the understanding and knowing forumcham

1) in the programe is necessary to register the value,, Dev ..? or the program itself takes 2.5% of the Committees?
 
2) my speed heshreyt 384, but a lot of errors and unsubstantiated blocks. as it should be, or there is a reason and explanation?
 
       
following the report of my miners----

Hi can u someone help me with a bat file for Fury.Thx in advance

[Lucide]

what is this error ?
GPU 0, GpuMiner k1a failed -55 ?
thanks

[Lafu]

what is this error ?

Show me your bat file or config you use than we can help!!!!

GPU 0 = you use one Card right ?

Try to set at least 16 GB of Virtual Memory

Catalyst 13.12 is required for best performance and compatibility. Catalyst 14.x and 15.x are supported as well (usually 14.x/15.x are about 1% slower than 13.12), use appropriate version.

Set "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT" environment variable as "100".

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:

[EvilC0P]

Just got 2 MSI Radeon RX 480 8GB ddr5.
Core Clock @ 1305 , Memory clock @ 2000

currently running drivers version 16.20 ( what came on the MSI DVD )

also i got banned from a pool , minexmr.com, while doing testing ( stopping the miner, starting it again,... ) ; is that normal?

using -a 1 or 2  ; i get ~634h/s per card at dwarfpool, so technically that's 1.2k/s right. but dwarfpool estimates  ~1k/s .is it the pool that doesn't know how to count or i'm losing some power on the way lol
using -a 3 ; i get ~620h/s. went down slightly

and this setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 , do i have to run it everytime in my .bat file before mining?
