As I've mentioned before I'm having a few problems with 1 of my rigs.

I've already swapped the risers around and for a good 10 hours it ran stable now its acting up again and crashing my rig.

Heres what I have noticed



After reboot all is fine but after a few mins of mining the memory goes to 0 .....the card still continues to hash for a while?

OpenCL error -38 - cannot write buffer for DAG GPU0 WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner!!! R9 380 1 card . Please help

IF IT IS A 2GB CARD, IT WON'T WORK--

The Ethereum DAG file is now too large for 2GB cards.  You will have to switch to an Ethereum clone-coin that is at a lower epoch if you wish to mine Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm.       --scryptr

If you are in the know about the problem it is better to be silent. I have two of the same cards and they run on air without any problems. You didn't even read my question! But if you still believe in the great DAG file - then it's your problem! Back to the question!

380 is good for XMR mining too.

Guys, I have a few R9 380 2GB GPUs, can they mine ETH?

I know about DAG problem, but someone said that solution is to set prirary gpu with more than 2gb of vram?

I set R9 380 4GB as primarty, and still can't mine with 2gb, actiually i can but hash is 0,7 mhs.

Does someone mining with 2gb cards? Thanks.

Recently I came up with a strange thing when my rx480 8g cards were mining on different hashrates, I'm using 29Mhs rom since September and till this time everything was fine, but now couple 480s are mining at strange hasrates from 7-12 from 20-24. I tried almost every solution I could find on internet. The last thing was changing the bios back to original and 90% of cards are mining now at 24Mhs without any issues, but when I get back to 29Mhs bios they start jumping around again. I'm out of options what more to try, any suggestions ?


Check risers?
Try down clocking a little more. for example instead of using 1150/2150  try 1125/2115
I did this for a few of my cards and it did the trick infact some are @ 1100/2000 but still hashing at 29Mh/s all with the same bios

I need some advice.
All of a sudden my most stable rig is no longer stable.
One of my GPU's (RX 480)keeps dropping to 0.00 Mh/s sometimes it wont even start hashing when I start the mining software.
It was perfectly fine yesterday.
I have tried to re-install the driver to see if this was the cause.
I even selected -di 4 and ran it on its own.....when running on its own it runs perfect. But as soon as I try to run a full rig the card fails.

My PSU is a EVGA G2 1600W so that is more than enough power to run 7 cards.

I have the exact same set up on another rig and that runs fine.

I had same issue and it was caused by 'damaged' card. I ran furmark on it and it was freezing/crashing system so I replaced it.

Thanks for the input guys.

Well I'm stumped.
I decided to swap my risers around. So I chose a card from the same rig that I knew was running stable since it was only 1 card that was giving me issues.
I swapped the risers between the two cards. My thinking being if its the riser then the "good" card would then start acting up.
But now all cards are running fine?
Granted its only been 17 mins uptime. But before the "bad" card would fail after 4-5 mins .
I'm going to leave it to run for a while and see what happens but at the moment I'm thinking maybe a dodgy riser?
If it runs stable for a few more hours then I'm going to order a few more risers just in case this happens again.

You may have a failing card.

Bios mod?

Gremlins,

Check Risers & Molex cables, then try to switch risers between the cards. Also, if you have 2 or 3 powered risers on the same molex wire, check whole cable.

Also, try GPU 1+2, then GPU 1+2+3, etc... until you solve problem.

Also i tried to exchange places of gpu-s and for me worked.

If you're running AMD then eth+x is the way to go. If your nvidia then zcash is what I've noticed to be most profitable

The dual mining is killing the PASC.

Could you please add Nicehash-Cryptonight and Nicehash-eth to the displayed revenues.
Thanks in advance

Regarded the problems you report me about my script, you must excuse me but since it is a private tool, has never been tested in other PCs with different software and operating systems.

I'm using it on win10 and win 8.1 both 64bit. My Powershell version is 5.0 and i don't know if it can work on other version.

The file was saved by mistake in linux format (which has a different end of line than windows). Now you can edit it with notepad too but highly recommend using notepad++ (but never use a word processor)

Profitability is checked using whattomine data and based on the profit ratio. On rare occasions, two values may coincide and in this case will be "chosen" the money that is first in the list.

Any other suggestion is welcome so I can improve my little tool.
Obviously, if someone wants, can also improve it by himself and share with everyone.

Version 0.6.1 with fixed file format is online

Thank you for a suggestion, I tried it ;] set -dcri 50, upped to 60 soon after, achieved ~1400 Mh/s for decred, but Eth went down to ~47-51Mh/s with 25W more for 2 RX 480.

What is your setup and numbers with and without second coin mining? If you would -,-


I'm not dual mining at the moment but I was running 144 mh ETH / 5700 mh DCR. (6x rx 480) Don't remember the different watts but according to what to mine that was the sweet spot for me. Of course this was before ETH hit an all time high. I'm sure whattomine would say solo mining ETH is best right now.

I find that about 30% intensity on DCR is just about maximum before ETH rate is reduced. I think dual mining is still slightly more profitable.

Just my $0.02
