 Maybe the problem is that 280x cards are supposed to have 3GB of video memory, and yours indicate 2GB available.

Slowly I am migrating all rigs to XMR.

One rig in particular keeps me scratching my bald head.

This is what happens on a 4 x 280x MSI Gaming rig:



Unlike all others memory usage is only about 5xx MB per GPU and I am getting only 550 H/s for the complete rig while other 4 GPU rigs run at 1300 H/s + and show around 2000 MB of memory utilization.

then I noticed this while GPU-Z shows them with the correct 3072 MB video ram.




Any idea what could be causing this?

Drivers are 13.12, Windows 8.1, pagefile set at 32 GB

Unlike v2.1, this one hasn't crashed so far, but again 280x with elpida doesn't seem to be running right after a while, as I checked, I saw these anomalies http://bayimg.com/AAOieaafM and http://bayimg.com/aAOIgAafm

Can you set "-dbg 2" option, increase console buffer height (in console settings) up to 5000 lines and when you see this problem send me text from console? You can send PM me, I want to track down this problem, but I cannot reproduce it on my rigs.

Thanks for the updated miner, is there a way to swap back to the primary pool once it becomes active again?

I can add option to disconnect from current pool and try to connect to first pool in the list every hour.

That would be fantastic if possible. I keep finding my miners on different pools every time I check them.

I keep getting complaints by the miner to up my pagefile settings to at least 16 GB while it is already set to 32 GB for 4 x 280x.

This happens with 2.2 beta as well as with older versions. It runs fine for a while and then drops out with the above complaint.

Any hints? thank you

What amd driver? Do you have a robust enough rig to your 280's? Free cpu threads and enough ram. I have these, with 16GB DDR3 and have not encountered any such problems

Thanks for your reply.

It's a classical scrypt mining rig with 4 x 280x Vapor-Xs

driver is 13.12, RAM is 8 GB. The CPU is a little weak, it's an Intel G3220 at 3.0 GHz.

PSUs are 1000 W + 800 W Platinum Fractal Design (certainly not the cause for an error about virtual memory though)

Rig has been running all kinds of Algos, from Scrypt to X13 for 7 months without any issues at all.

I will upgrade the memory and see what happens.

I am about to deploy CN mining on the other 20 GPUs so I'd like to weed out all issues first.

Considering the state of the pools right now atleast, it would be cool to have this happen

Is it possible to add support for Minergate style pool? Where user connects to pool with username and password, not with wallet address?

Something like that, similar to cg/sgminer and check to see if it is primary pool is alive and auto switch back without dropping any hashes.

As others have already pointed out, v2.1 stops submitting shares after a random amount of time, and unlike previous version that stopped functioning only on my 280x's not 290's, this one stops working with all cards in a random amount of time (sometimes it won't even make it 10 minutes) Not only does it stop submitting shares, but it leaves the clocks at high powered state, i.e. it's drawing same amount as if it was mining, yet nothing happens. Sometimes -wd 1 kills the tasks, sometimes it doesn't. Cmd box shows last share submitted msg and nothing else after that. No error messages, gpu drivers haven't crashed, and the miner client is still responsive, but does not generate any msgs - no "new job received etc, nothing, nada, zilch (pools also show zero hash rate)
In this sate basically all it does is piss away electricity at full speed, like a locomotive with no driver and no destination.

Can I mine bbr with this miner?

24 hours test :

1100H/s with CPU on minergate : ~3 XMR
2400H/s with GPUs on Wolf pool : ~3.4 XMR
weird.

I understand the dev fee thing, but i hope we will be able to mine with a real username and not a wallet address someday.

What Gpu's do u have?
one rig with 5 x 280X (1930H/s) + a rig with 1x 280x + 1x 5970 : 540H/s = ~2400H/s

i've one rig with 6 x 280x (only 1930H/s) with 8Gb of Ram and after one hour i receive error with virtual memory
I have 16GB + virtual memory @ 16GB on my 5x280X rig, i don't have you problem. 280x are occed @ 1170MHz.
