Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 281. (Read 6590565 times)

LOL! at first i was amaze by that settings, and tried everything including downloading a similar app of EPU-6 for MSI Boards.
seems like it messes up the hashrate numbers of the miner?

does this mean that Phoenix Miner is more like doing this kind of stuff?

well atleast youve tried and proved that is not true.. appreciate your response here dude.

Run as root (sudo).

googled such a video and read commets, here is one of them:

'Staff works yes! I managed to increase from 29 to 35, only to a problem of recognition of increased mhs, the pool continues the same thing, I will have spent 20 hours and not increased the rewards, it's like I'm mining with my 29 mhs'

I've never used Wattman, so can't speak to it (but I believe it's installed by default with drivers?), but I've never had a problem with overdriventool running and sticking. Even if it doesn't persist through a reboot, it'll be applied again before mining starts, so it'll stick one way or another.

Has anyone seen here that video from youtube using EPU-6 from ASUS? the guy got 37Mhs from 580 8GB. how true is that.

tried to use that EPU-6 but it seems it is only for ASUS Mobo - obviously

Why GTX980 Ti runs only 5Mh/s? I tried Win 7/10, many different drivers, HDMI-VGA adapter, but no result. Under equihash works fine as before.

Hi guys,
I understant you are mainly windows users of Claymore, but all my rigs are on LINUX (ubuntu 14 and 16), and for me the 11.6 update does not work at all. With everything else being the same, all I get is :
"

"
Previously Claymore 11.5 was working perfectly fine, I never had to install OpenCL library... And I have the same error for my AMD and NVIDIA rigs... guesse I will stay with 11.5 for long now.

this are great news, I will do some test on my old 470 and some newer 570 & share it here
give me few days 

Thanks for the reply. Lol looks like Awesome's auto-switching for profitability mining is doubtful then, as I was using an AMD profile.
Back to dedicated algo mining I guess

Thanks a lot
I heard Overdriventool but haven't tried it. Many people mention that you need to uninstall WattMan (AMD setting) for Overdriventool to work, otherwise, things will reset, is that true?

If you're tweaking memory clocks / power settings, stick with Overdriventool. You can create a profile for each unique card, apply the appropriate overclock / undervolt settings, and then use the overdriventool command line + appropriate parameters to run in the same batch file as your Claymore startup file. This will apply the appropriate overclocks, and saves the headache of modifying the BIOS every time you have a simple change you want to test.

Thanks a lot for your info!
I was able to control fan speed, set tt, tstop, rstart, etc. with blockchain and claymore 11.2. I think the command argument acutally works when you start the miner. The issue is the setting cannot stick very long. It always reset to default after awhile, then all thing gone bad from there (slow hashrate more power draw and high temp).

FYI,
all my rigs are running very stable now. They can normally run 2~3 weeks w/o hang/reboot. And nVidia is fully automated via Afterburn. Only AMD RX580 need to manaully set after reboot in WattMan, which takes about 2 minutes per rig after reboot. Do you have afterburn installed on your rig? Since all my rigs are mix RX580 and GTX1070. I have afterburn installed on every rig even RX580 doesn't really need it. In fact, afterburn's voltage tweaking has a offset, it is always higher than WattMan. No matter what I do, the last thing MUST be set in WattMan to prevent afterburn voltage spike. This was not the case prior to blockchain beta. Claymore arguement override everything else. I think the problem through my observation is something else is overriding claymore settings in blockchain. Maybe 18.3 is the way to go.

hwinfo64 is a nice tool. However, for some RX580, it shows GPU power on top and Memory Power in the bottom separatedly. If you add them together, that's fairly close to the power draw from the wall. If it only shows GPU power, then you really don't know what's the combine power (GPU+Mem) from the wall. For nVidia, hwinfo64 displays very close to the power draw from the wall.

On average for solo mining eth on blockchain beta
rx 580 takes 125~140 w
gtx1070 takes 100~120 w
from the wall.
dual mining takes additional 25~30 w
It seems AMD 18.3 reduced power usage by 6w per RX580. Maybe If it is stable enough, I will give that a try.

use the latest AMD drivers, see my earlier post (Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.3.4 and Claymore 11.6 version), if you have trouble, boot to safe mode, remove the AMD drivers using DDU tool (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html) and install the fresh drivers again.

In past, I had the same issue where claymore earlier versions can't control fan, temp (won't show these values) and OC settings, removing drivers using the safe mode, fixed the issue for me.

I am using these settings now for one of my rig, OC values gonna be different for your card but these switches really help.

-ftime 10 -tt 70 -fanmin 45 -fanmax 65 -tstop 80 -tstart 50 -cclock 1135 -mclock 2200 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 -platform 1 -eres 3 -gser 2

i have wattman installed but never touched it

Old Env: AMD Driver Version is 17.3 (prior to Blockchain beta), WattMan is installed, Windows 10 Pro 1703. Mix 4x AMD RX580 and 4x nVidia GTX1070 GPUs, Claymore 9.8.
I have used this claymore command line argument to control AMD GPU setting for long time. I found it was great because you can automate the miner and GPU setting during  reboot.
-cclock 1150 –mclock 2100 –cvddc 900 –mvddc 900
But since I upgraded to Blockchain beta (to resolve hashrate decrease/DAG issue), I cannot use Claymore to control AMD GPU setting anymore. I have to manually set it every time in WattMan for each RX580 after reboot. Automation is gone. If I just use Claymore command argument to set it, the setting will reset to default randomly after mining some time. When setting resets to default, you have much longer hashrate but use a lot more power and temperature is much higher.
Current Env: AMD Driver Version is Blockchain beta, WattMan is installed, Windows 10 Pro 1703. Mix 4x AMD RX580 and 4x nVidia GTX1070 GPUs, Claymore 11.2
I have tried some versions of AMD Adrenalin drivers with Claymore 10.x and 11.x, but none of them can maintain setting consistently for long time (10+ hours) w/o reset.
I heard some people use AMD Adrenalin 18.3 drivers with Claymore 11.x achieved -cclock 1150 –mclock 2100 –cvddc 900 –mvddc 900 consistently (4+ days w/o crash). Can you provide me your env settings?
What version of AMD driver you use?
Do you have AMD WattMan installed?
You Claymore version?
Do you mine with RX580?
Another reason I haven’t tried Claymore 11.5 or 11.6 is because someone said claymore will regenerate DAG very hour when they start DEVFEE mining. That would be a serious stability issue. Is that true?
Thanks

FYI:
I have mod/flash some setting into bios so I can automate the startup process. But I found it is very inconvenient because 1) everytime you want change the setting, you have to mod it again. 2) down time is too long if you have lots of GPUs on a rig and many rigs. command line argument (software way vs. hardware way) is far more easier and quicker.

nope cards are not bios moded anymore, restored original bios
and yeah used "y" option (elevated command prompt) to change drivers to compute mode
I am using hwinfo64 tool to check wattage, don't have any physical tool to check from the wall. On the beta version, it used to show around 100-101 watt per card.

Rig is running stable 22 hours and counting...

Open regedit, open key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}"
and remove "KMD_EnableInternalLargePage" parameter in every subkey "0000", "0001" etc. Then reboot.
If it's too difficult for you, just use amdcleanuputility and reinstall drivers.
In next update I will improve this feature so you can disable compute mode as well, though I'd like to know more details about cases when "y" key causes any problems.

@Omegaoracle: first of all doesn't make sense to  dual mine eth + SIA.
Look for a pool with Smartcash (keccak) or XVG (Blake2s)

Sia is Asic right now, so, what you earn  is less than the energy you use (on top of ethereum). The only two coins that I know where ist make sense are those two-

Second: Vega is working with Claymore dual for sure.

Not so sure if its ASM 1 or ASM 2 as I don't have one Vega.

Quite sure the option Allcoin isn't needed, as you mine Ethereum

Last: the "Awesome" babysitting become more and more "strict" every thing you learn.

Its maybe time to take your motorbike and run.

In other words, I don't know if Awesome setup is ok for you as I don't use Awesome

have anybody here tested claymore with amdgpu-pro v17.50
on Ubuntu 18 beta LTS with latest kernel v4.16?

is there any improvement with "wattmann" functionalities as suggested on Phoronix? Undervolting?

Hi guys, I'm new to Claymore and unsure of how to best not to crash my rig  
I've been using mostly xmr-stak and cast xmr for dedicated cryptonight mining but very recently tried awesome miner profit switching, which uses Claymore Dual miner 11.0 as one of the miners.
Whenever awesome miner switches to Claymore Dual Eth v11.5 my rig will hard crash and OS will not restart successfully.
Can you guys please share the appropriate command(s) for an AMD rig setup?

Win10 Pro
1 x Vega 56
1 x Vega 64
1 x Vega FE
Awesome Miner
