I think this is the same as I also described before here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49407882

The more GPU's in the rig, the more decreasing speed. Even with good CPU and enough Ram+Swap. Other miner it works perfect with even higher speed now. So its clearly an issue of BMiner.

But i have proofs from other guy, who have 7x1070ti rig with just 4GB(!) of RAM and he have 5 gps per card easily

You have not so bad results compared to mine:)
I think there possible can be problem in the mixing of cards i.e. 1070ti with 1080 and etc.

Can Bminer devs say something?
Thanks

Hello!

I have 2 rigs working with bminer, one is 3x1080 and 4x1070ti, second is 3x1080ti and 7x1070ti

They both have identical mb(asrock btc pro), same memory 8gb, same cpu intel 4400

Swap is set to 58 gb on first, and 80gb on second

drivers are last 417.71
CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10 installed

But bminer can not reach full hashing power on both rigs

Hash are vary from 2,9 to 4,7

Here is screen from first:
https://d.radikal.ru/d01/1901/0f/8f98f082a3e2.png

But i know someone who have similar cpu, his RAM are 4GB, and he is easily having around 5 gps per card

Can you give advice what can be done to fix that?
Thanks!

Has anyone been able to successfully use the RTX2060/2070 on Bminer yet? Doesn't seem to be recognizing/communicating with the GPU drivers 410

They are working, but with some errors in the command line. But working.

Update your drivers, we are at 417.71

dragonmike is correct with amd grin miners being terrible in hash/watt right now, but I'm blamining AMD for that

Don't blame the tools, blame the devs.

There is no such thing as nvidia-friendly or AMD-friendly algos. There's only bad (or not enough) developers.

Best example was Lyra2z last year. Everyone was saying "it's a nVidia algo, AMD suck at it"... until Todxx and Kerney666 showed us otherwise. Massively otherwise.

Any chance to make win10 grin29 mining on 6gb card work? I think eth miner are able to use all of the gpu memory, so maybe there is a way?

Hi everyone!
We are glad to announce that we just donated half of the collected Grin devfee so far to Grin general fund. And we’ll keep doing donations to Grin general fund.We are proud to support the Grin developer team and the future of Grin.

That's very nice and all but you REALLY should make a good AMD miner too... for Windows and both for C29 and C31. The alternatives currently are quite abhorrent. You've got a market there, surely.

Hi All ...

Curious to know what commandline is used for linux based BMiner to mine on NiceHash BEAM?

Any help would be appreciated, even if it just an example. Testing will commence as soon as we have the details. Seems we always get errors trying to run the miner with NiceHash.

Thanks in advance!

It's good to see GRIN is taking a similar path to Ravencoin but (1) with a more interesting goal, (2) a better name, and (3) a good plan to integrate ASICs without making them enemies or allowing them to centralise the network.

For a price prediction, I'd look at Ravencoin's price and expect a similar movement but with a better long-term outlook.

Yes, this is still the only project that wants to make an attempt to use both the GPU and ASIC without harming each other.

What happen to my GTX 1080ti I'm getting around 3.53 fixed mining almost 8 hours but I got huge hashrate drop almost 50%?

What happen? The gtx 1080ti is in GPU 0?

This is a very low hash rate. use the latest miner and new drivers

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

I changed from F2Pool to grinmint.
After some updates the Bminer doesn't produce so many rejected shares in this specific pool as it did before, right now I have 1302 accepted and 33 rejected (97.5% success rate). That's great!
However my average hashrate per 1080ti is shown as 6.00 while the miner and F2Pool's average were both showing 7.50. Any idea why could that be?

PS: Original message was the following but I wrote it here by accident, it was offtopic and I changed it,

That is awesome. Watching the grincon, it's pretty obvious that with no ICO, no premine etc, the dev team really needs this kind of help.

What happen? The gtx 1080ti is in GPU 0?

this happened to one of my 3 card (1080ti) rig, using gminer 1.23, other 3 card rigs works fine..

i put the card in 2 card rig, the card now mines at ~6.9, maybe due to cooler area i placed it in...i noticed that although the gpu core is lower in temps compared to the other 2 1080 ti it simply throttles down from ~6.9 to 3.6 after a few hours...leaving it for now since it is doing ~6.9 in the 2 card rig, will investigate in the future..

i'm suspecting it maybe is throttling down due to heating of the VRMs...happend to one of my 390s back then, don't know if 1080 ti do this too...notice the power is ~240+ watts, that's heavy on the VRMs

edit: it still go down to ~3.7 in the 2 card rig..i think it is a card issue

Celeron? You may be CPU bound. Otherwise lower your power level to 70% or so.

socket 775 xeon x3220 rig where i found it, i have same rig with no issues and i have even a lesser q8400 without issue...currently it is in a phenom x6 1055t where the issue reoccurred (but not persistent as in the previous rig), lesser athon x3 don't have issues too..it is not a cpu triggered issue based from comparisons.

it works at ~6.9 now, after i restarted it and it is running for hours now, something triggered it to run at ~3.6..thinking of heat still(since it is in a cooler location now), will clean it and investigate thermal paste and pads in the future..

here is another weird shit hehe(different rig), a 1080ti card don't want to mine with other 2 1080ti i thought it is defective (replaced it with another card rig works), and then i let it mine as a single gpu on a separate rig and it worked and i added another one (the ~3.6 one when issue appears)after i find it stable..so far they are stable mining as a 2 card rig..from what i observed in msi afterburner, although all cards are set at default and at 80 PL, that particular card clocks a little bit higher..

note: all cards are of the same brand and model.

I set the clock to 150 and memclock to 800 but it doesn't change my hashrate I already increase the virtual memory to 32gb and I have 3 GPU in one rig.
What do you think the reason why the hashrate drop to 3.6?

Every time I restart the rig the hashrate back to 5.9 but doesn't increase to 7sol/s.

My driver version is 399 cuda 9.2.

You really really should update your drivers.
