Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 291. (Read 6590565 times)

could be my bios and oc, but why sudden broken after upgrades?

i can see that you are doing eth only. try dual, especially keccak. besides, your timeframe is not well enough.

i can see that you have high voltages as well. 130w is too much for eth only.

regarding ethi, i heard intensity in new versions has been increased. i dont know if setting ethi 8 would lower it thus making yours stable. but i guess thats the default value.

Im facing a curious issue Claymore. I am running 13 x RX 460 cards on an Asus B250 MiningExpert under Windows 10 (1709).
If I try to run the Miner with all 13 GPU's it just BSOD's right after it lists out all GPU's and starts showing ASM mode for them.
If however, I run two instances of the miner and split the GPU's into groups of 6 and 7 using -di, the two instances run perfectly fine.
I thought you had already optimized the miner for 9+ GPU's? Any Idea why this could be happening?
While two instances of the miner work fine for me, its sub optimal as a solution.

I believe the driver "thinks" that GPU has hit powercap a.k.a powerlimit and slows it for a bit, that happens only in your miner IIRC. I haven't noticed hashrate drop on other miners.The other reason is temperature but that occurs not for a bit but rather long downtrend in hashrate is observed(memory overheating). Just some feedback about 11.5 - power usage increased with ~2-5% maybe due to auto dcri adjustments and higher global work used for 570s.

To those interested:

We have been working last weeks on integrating SMARTCASH in our YIIMP pool and it is working / available for mining now. We are finding blocks.

If you are looking for an profitable alternative for Dual mining VERGE you can mine it now @ NLPOOL.

Use this as example.bat

SmartCash: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethpool.org:4444 -ewal . -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://mine.nlpool.nl:5133 -dwal -dpsw c=SMART -dcoin keccak

or if you want to stay with Verge :
VERGE: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethpool.org:4444 -ewal . -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://mine.nlpool.nl:5766 -dwal -dpsw c=xvg -dcoin blake2s


Please note that with keccak you have to change your DCRI setting in Claymore. For AMD 570 GPU we recommend a value of 6. For AMD 580 GPU we recommend a value of 7.

Happy mining!

Miners:
For nVidia cards, we suggest you to use  CCminer 2.2.2 : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
For GTX 1080/1080 Ti, ccminer will work but hashrate may be increased with https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer

For AMD cards, tests are ongoing, we had good results using these miners:

Q/A:
- Can I request to add a coin ? (Please, yes!)
Reply this thread or contact us by e-mail.
- Where is my payment ?
The payments are performed each hour for all (unpaid) balances above 0.001. If you participated in the mining of a block of a crypto-currency, if the block is not orphan or uncle, when the block is confirmed (a few minutes, hours or days for some cryptos), your balance will be increased of X (=block reward minus pool fee ) percent of accepted shares for the block.

Need some help. Besides the 580s I have a gaming pc with a 1080ti in it.
Lately I was using claymore eth miner.
Suddenly I get no hasrate and getting this message

GPU 0, GpuMiner cu_kd failed 77 (0), an illegal memory access was encountered
GPU 0, Calc DAG failed!
GPU 0 failed
Setting DAG epoch #177 for GPU0
GPU 0, CUDA error 77 - cannot write buffer for DAG


On ccminer I get> GPU #0: result for 00000000 does not validate on CPU!

I used MSI afterburner for several weeks without problem. The memory clock was higher I admit, maybe that triggered a lock?
Anyway I am now reverting to older drivers also I am using the default values on the GTX without OC or undervolt. nothing helps.
Tried setting the virtual memory but that was fine, nothing changed.

Any thought?

I find too much undervolting affects stability. Adjusting the power limit also reduces power consumption and the heat output more than lowering the core voltage. I average ~130 W per card full system wattage at the wall.

Why are you using such high voltages?
With HWINFO I'm looking how much a card draws and decrease the voltages until there's no variation. Most of them fall below 850mV. And I don't alter powlim.

How do you did that 

Been dual mining with 11.4 for a while now. Really stable. As second coin I'm mining XVG and was on antminepool, but recently switched to BLAKE2S! 0% fee and much better revenue!

Just sharing this for who's interested in finding the best pool for XVG. Anyone got a better tip? Do share!

I've got 10*1060*6GB Palits and I'm getting 24.3MH stable on 11.5, paired with almost useless blake2s @ dcri 45... because I do have cheap electricity:)

It could be your Bios mod. I'm running v11.5 with the Adrenaline v18.3.4 drivers on two rigs and it's very stable with zero incorrect or invalid shares. I even increased my overclock on my ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ RX 480/580 13 card rig and got an extra 8 MH/s. On the 6 card Biostar TB85 rig I got an extra 4 MH/s.

I'm using the Polaris Bios Editor 'One Click Timing Patch' for all my cards. The only change to the PBE bundled performance timings I made was replace the Samsung UberMix v3.1 timing, which is too aggresive with this one that is much more stable.

Bad news for GPU miners for sure...otherwise, we'll see.

What does it mean? AMD GPU and Nvidea GPU's will be not usable anymore to mine ethereum (and maybe other coins) ? this is a big/bad news that I was unaware of it?
Is it very hard to buy it from Bitmain ?

ahh, finally, i can sleep. after long haul of testing.

been trying to get 11.5 stable, aiming 0 incorrect shares but i failed.

no matter how i downclock memory, add voltage, etc, still no luck. hwinfo shows 0 memory error for 24hrs, still, 11.5 keeps sprouting incorrect shares at random gpus. it leads me to the point that im almost losing 3-4mh/s per card. meh, more like stock settings but with incorrect shares.

then i finally downgraded to v11.0 (using -asm 2 btw as it yields me better hashrate)

reverted my old stable OC

now im enjoying 0 incorrect shares for 24hrs+, more hashrate, and improved effective pool hashrate.

here are my specs btw:
rig1: 13pcs rx570 red devil (hynix;elpida) 386mh/s(with 11.0)
rig2: 13pcs rx570 nitro+ 4gb (samsung) 395mh/s(with 11.0)
os: win10 1709
driver: adrenalin 18.3.4
(with 11.5, i almost downgraded to 360mh/s per rig, still gives me incorrect shares at random gpus)

with 11.0, i only get ~1mh/s total rig fluctuation

with 11.5, even though using -oldkernels, i get big fluctuations, around 20mh/s total fluctuation and it takes too long to revert to original hashrate.

11.5 gives flat reported hashrate with new kernels, but yeah, cant make it stable without sprouting incorrect shares.

so thats all about it. i dont blame no miners, but its my personal experience.

some doesnt care much about incorrect shares, but i do, it translates to wasted hashrate.

i believe, problems to me started at v11.1 and beyond.

check your folder still has ethdcrminer64.exe in it. if it doesn't you'll need to exclude the folder from windows defender

1) Can you post your batch file?
2) At the end of your batch file put a pause in. This will keep the window open till you hit a key. This will allow you to read any errors.
-Dave

The command prompt window closes instantly after running batch file.  whats happenin

They are Elpida memory.
I didn't change memory or core clock, just one click timing patch.


I think it has something to do with claymore v11.5..!

Im testing it with claymore v10.2 and its going good for now on

just in case. is yuour memory samsung?

Hi

I have a strange problem with my Asus RX470 mining gpu's on claymore. After bios modding with only "one click timing patch", the get very  unstable, hashrate goes down and the whole system hangs. Need to plug it off from the wall in order to restart.
In stock bios they work just fine with 22 mhs 

My other RX570 gpu's work just fine with a descent performance after bios mod and overclock.

Should i try to run it with old AMD kernels...? I haven't tried anything yet because I have no clue whats causing that instability on those rx470 mining cards.


NOTE: Im running Linux/ethos
