so i tried to change to ETC mining....

same errors...

You sure your virtual memory is set correctly ? can you screenshot your virtual memory interface ?
Also what cmdline you use to start claymore

2gb card is to small for mining

I am mining Expanse with my 2GB GPUs.

You can't mine ethereum anymore with 2GB cards, but you can mine fork like expanse (EXP) or ethereum classic (ETC)

is it right that i can't mine anymore with 2x gtx960 2GB, or should it work with the virtual memory, because, i set it >16GB and also set enviroment variables, but getting DAG error... Sad

Hello
Currently I am with windows 7.

I will install windows 10, but I read on different topic that you must patch a driver to optimize the hasrate.

Would you have a link or tuto on this patch?

thank you

Is there going to be an UPGRADE / REVISION any time soon?
but i cant download from google drive...... the antivirus of google block the download

Use the mega mirror then also it's not google antivirus, it's google chrome one.


Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

Now this is running fast and smooth Smiley

My pleasure, good you got it running smooth !


Wow, what a rookie move.  That was it.  I did stop it but in my hurry i only did private and not turn everything off.  Thanks amigo!!

Plus its Chinese windows and changing it to English it's still half Chinese.  It's a pain in the arse!

Yeah that's the little things something you forget to do, nice you got it to run !

I have 4 GB RAM

In claymore i get :

10:08:58:381   bf0   GPU 0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU
and at the end
10:09:23:608   17f4   WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner Sad

And every time it is of course tried with solo mining before switching to dual

No no, not real memory, i said virtual memory, you get this error because your virtual memory isn't big enough, it's required to run 4+ Gpu rigs. If you look @ claymore log you'll see it's @ the start of the log with also drivers recommendation.

and it's also in OP

For AMD cards, set the following environment variables, especially if you have 2GB cards:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:
"Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory".

so

follow this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL0m7tVt_DU

reboot, should fix your issue.

Claymore doesn't use DAG file creation, instead it put everything in virtual memory, so if you don't have enough of it, dags will be unable to be created and it will fail.

I have 2 panda miners.  I copied claymore over and set it up like I always do and I can't get it to be seen on ethman.  Everything works like a champ but I just cant see it so it;s quite annoying.  Any ideas?

I have:
deleted folder
added another folder
ran as admin

all the normal stuff.  Like I said it runs I just cant monitor it.  Any help would rock.  Thanks!

Have you checked if windows firewall isn't activated on the pandaminer and block access to the claymore admin port ?

Hello eveyrobody, i'm new to mining so i may have miss something, don't get angry Cheesy

It's been one week, and now i finally understand how to make everything work, but still one problem, i'm not able to make all 6 card work together.

I have 6 RX 480, Asrock h81 and Windows 10, driver 15.12 (also tried the 16.30)

Everytime i try more than 4 card, the Dag don't charge in more than 4 cards and claymore restart one minute after starting mining (and it mine only with 4 cards).

All the card are working good when tried separatly.

Here is my start.bat :

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xfBf31b26E5c099Ff5c34db264185f1E01CC5532D.rig1 -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:7777 -dwal d05757f4ae1b917ae91dd4f2ca967aaf707806728fdb842741be08b921276316523aa91af975/rig1/[email protected] -dcoin sia -dcri 30

I'll be very happy if any one have a solution Smiley Thank in advance !

(i also tried Unbuntu 16.04, but when i install amd driver, after that the system block at some point when booting)

Have you set 16GB+ virtual memory in windows ? Do you get any error in claymore ? Have you tried mono ETH mining (with no 2nd coin)


I have 4 GB RAM

In claymore i get :

10:08:58:381   bf0   GPU 0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU

That will be done tomorrow, only that and fresh windows install are the things that are not tried.

Fresh install and cross testings can't hurt indeed. Have you also tried solo mining for ETH with just

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal . -epsw x

Hope you find an answer. You could also try to switch pool for another one like dwarfpool just for testing.
