Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[OhMyHolyToken]

I always had the problems with Claymore (for ZEC or for Cryptonight) and Radeon 280, 280X. The system was unstable, GPU hangs and after hard reboot I had a driver issues.

I reduce overclock of all my card to the minimum or ever stock level. Nothing. The system is freezing (GPU hangs) once a day.

Then I just installed GGS miner and voila, the system is stable, never freeze, never GPU hangs. And if I overclock a GPU too much, it just report a incorrect shares - I reduce overclock and in continue to work, without freezing the system completely.

Just my story.

Maybe u got problem and u dont know where In 1,5 year I have never (Knock knock) had a problem with Claymore miners..

[dotachin]

Dotachin, I am having this exact problem and it wiped out 4 of my 6-GPU rigs just now, which is killing my effective hashrate. I'm also on NiceHash like you. Does updating to 11.2 fix it? In which case I'll move all rigs to that now - most of mine are on 10.2 and 11.0.

Looks like so, but there was only 1 such case since i've moved to 11.2 (some rigs with 2GB RAM still runs 10.2, so i can compare).

Claymore, can it be easily done to return compatibility with 2GB RAM? Currently 11.x gives half of hashrate on such builds while 10.2 ran at full speed

[xeridea]

Bios mod card. What memory type?

Samsung GDDR5 - 4GB.

Interesting thing is of the 3 cards, 2 have Crossfire enabled and one has it disabled.
What should it be?

When I clock is currently with afterburner, just clocking the memory, as soon as the miner
connects to the pool the rig crashes and the OS becomes unresponsive.  I'm on Win10.

Bios mod with Ubermix straps, run perhaps 1900MHz memory, maybe higher. Can get 900+

anybody work with rx550 ddr5 4gb? working smoothly with rx580. but running rx550 hang on start claymore

I use sgminer 5.5.5-gm, 3x RX550 2GB, total 960H/s, no devfee.

stock setting without overclock / undervolt.

let me know what coin you minner with sgminer-gm?
i already using sgminer 5.5.5-gm to mining eth. its seem running slowly then claymore.

in sgm speed 7mh but claymore 10mh. but claymore hang on my rig

this thread is talking about cryptonight, and I am talking about mining cryptonight algo.
The coin I mine now is ETN (Electroneum), not ETH.

If you are using RX550, I suggest you try sgminer 5.5.5-gm, mining Electroneum,
or mine with NiceHack if you still trust NiceHack.
Try to tune to over 300H/s per card.

The following is the screenshot, GPU0 is onboard VGA being disabled, and GPU1-3 are RX550 2GB Saphhire pulse.
GPU 1 is 640 SP, so use 350.
GPU 2,3 are 512 SP, so use 280.
Each GPU config 2 threads.

If you are using 4GB version, I think you will not get much advantage over the 2GB version, not even more than 5% I think.

I have a RX550 Rig with 6 Cards and use Claymore 9.7 and the hole System runs with 1875 H/s. Just use stock clockings and use -h 512 and each card runs over 300 H/s.

[abg00]

Fixed the seg fault with NH?

I cannot see this bug (don't have it in Windows and don't have access to Linux system currently), but I found possible reason and fixed it. So need someone who sees this bug in Windows and can confirm that it is fixed in latest update. Or I will check it on Linux system directly in a few days.

rx550 card dont work. ask missed asm and show 0 rate

[tg88]

Hi Claymore.

I have a Rig with 6 ati Rx570 from saphire. I have been minning ethereum with you miner version 10.2 and it is working fine, but tried minning electroneum ( monero) with 10.2 and with the latest version and have a error... with version 9.7 mines ok, but is giving errors on the dev fee says it cant connect. But no crashes on the miner...
I have the folowing error:
GPU 1, GpuMiner dk2an0 failed -4
- this one randomly on all gpu 2 at a time, starts to mine and the  the miner crashes and restarts.
Is says i am making 700 hs on each card ( 9.7 makes 620 about that...)
The cards only have the bios mod for eth ( the 1500 strap to above) They are stable on ethereum...

Claymore CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.2 - POOL
 This is my start.bat

NsGpuCNMiner.exe -xpool stratum+ssl://etn-eu1.nanopool.org:13433 -xwal my etnadress.RIG_ATI/myemail -xpsw x -allpools 1

Can you or any one help.
Best regards.

To solve this problem increase the windows virtual memory.

8GB x 6 gpu = 48GB (free 50gb of virtual memory and will work without problems)

True. rx550 does not work. Is there any possibility there gonna be asm support for `em? Cause with proper mem timings they give 500h/s w sgminer.

After some tuning, the 640SP card can do 360H/s.
I may buy 3 more (640SP) cards later on, just 72$ each.

Hope that I can ROI within 45 days.

soooo sweet ) that rx550 speed of yours...

pls don't ask; i wont say a thing until claymore add support in v11;
after he make lexa work i will tell about it..... so pls keep presure on him

[ReigningBacon]

Been running 10.1 for just over a month now, and its awesome - I am making money, thank you dev team!

Just have a few questions to brush up on my knowledge if you guys dont mind:

where do these values go? i have not messed with them at all
GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100


Also, I am experiencing a crash everytime i stop the miner, not a huge deal since its rare, but still an annoyance when i want to do maintenance.
Will switching to a newer version fix this?
Will i notice anything by switching to a new version?

running 2 rigs with x2 R9 290x's (blockchain driver) total hashrate is 3.34k H/s mining ETN

is it ok to post up a screenshot of my config and get some pointers?

I ever overclock this card before, and there is no 6 PIN addon power for it, I finally burn that card, fire and spark.

I dare not overclock it anymore.

[ReigningBacon]

2 rigs
x2 R9 290x OC @ 1070/1620 1700 H/s
x2 R9 290 OC @ 1070/1650   1650 H/s

here is my config:

==================================
-xpool stratum+tcp://pool.etn.spacepools.org:7777
-xwal My ETN wallt
-xpsw x
#-nofee 1
-allpools 1
#-tt 75
==================================

I feel like i should have a lot more in here to tweak things a bit

also, when you make a change do i have to close the miner and reopen or is there a refresh option in the miner? because when i close it, i get a crash and sometimes i have to jump through hoops to uninstall and reinstall the driver which takes an hour sometimes.

Put the GPU_*** values in the .bat file, see below, but I read somewhere (can't remember where) that, nowadays, these values make no difference to mining performance - I'm sure someone will correct me on this

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Yes, change to the new version.

It will pay more and it is more stable. No more seeing locking when closing.

[Detuner]

Mining ETN on Gigabyte RX480 4gb @ 1250/2170, hynix memory, custom straps.
Got about 870H/s on Claymore 10.2b with default settings (-h 900 -dmem 1).
Getting weird results on Claymore 11.2: default settings gives ~470H/s (-h 896 -dmem 1). After some fiddling with -h and -dmem got around 830H/s (-h 512 -dmem 1 or -h 1024 -dmem 0).
I'll stay with 10.2b for now. Too bad it can't mine devfee any more, but even with -nofee it is still a bit faster than 11.2.

[ReigningBacon]

upgraded to 11.2.

Still get a crash but not every time.

Performance increased by 100 H/s total for both rigs. Happy
Now if m pool would just pick up the pace a little. im on the etn spacepool.

what does the e-pool file do? I dont understand it

Read OP. Failover pools, or pool list (useful if using remote manager can easily switch pools...).
