I'm about to get started GPU mining and I was wondering if double mining is still worth it and what pair would be the best to mine with 1070s?

you might mean "Dual Mining", just to let you know that dual mining will add extra stress on your card and a bit power usage, you can mine with ETH-Sia, ETH-LBRy in Claymore, you could also try other algos supported by miners. Others don't really advise dual mining as it might lessen GPU's life. its really up to you.

Return question - WHY?
Why upgrade or update windows? especialy on mining rig? It works good - leave it as it is!
Updates wont give you hasgrate increase. Honestly speaking you wont see any difference at all. You have about 70% of seeng new problems instead of any improvements..

Trying Clay 10.2 will see how it goes. 10.1 was highly unstable and unusable..

Yeah agreed, however you also don't want to leave any OS vulnerabilities open on your always connected machine.

I am using 10.2, same issue older versions so I do not believe that it has anything to do with a particular release.

At this point, I am suspecting an issue with TeamViewer since somebody else on the forum has reported a similar issue.

I got everything working by plugging in a switched off monitor so its all good at the moment, however I will try disabling TeamViewer next time I am on site (the miner is in a remote location) to see if that makes any difference.

10.2 seems to be reporting time values as negative numbers now.

In the console, the elapsed time figures are negative figures.

Example:

For an elapsed time of 2 hours and 30 minutes it shows as follows on 10.1 and 10.2:

10.1    2:44
10.2   -2:-44

The numbers are the correct amounts, but they are negative now.

3rd party apps for Android etc. don't know what to do with that, so they just show an elapsed time of 0.

Have those values been changed to negative numbers on purpose or is this a small bug in 10.2 ?

You are missing "-epsw x"
Nanopool has a config generator for the Claymore miner, just click on "Quick Start" and it will create one for you. This is what I get and it works, just put in your details into the grenerator.

Thanks Smiley
EDIT
Found in nanopool site

However in nanoool site the  example is:

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 YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS/YOUR_WORKER_NAME/YOUR_EMAIL -mode 1

Most pools (at least the ones you don't need to register with) just ignore the password, so Nanopool must just ignore the whole "-epsw x" completely.
Both configs with/without "-epsw x" work fine on Nanopool but other pools may need, at least, the "-ewsp" switch. I always put "-ewsp x" in the config so I've not come across any pools that work without it.

my problem with 10.2 is the "Temperature control thread hangs, need to restart the miner!" error, both on my 2 rigs, never encounter this error on previous versions...
I also have this problem. There is screenshot:

How is it possible, that going from ETH single mining to ETH+DCR dual, my ETH hashrate increased as well? I have 3x rx570 and 1x rx460, and am getting 99,3Mh ETH and 1650Mh DCR. -dcri 5,30,30,30.

Hi everyone - first time posting to the forum but been reading the threads for quite a number of months.  I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I have a 7 GPU rig made up of (5) GTX 1060's and (2) RX470's.  My RX470's are giving me very low hashrates.  They fluctuate between 12 mh/s and 18 mh/s.  Here is my configuration.  Any thoughts?


AMD RX470 Strix Gaming 4GB - Hynix Chips

Windows 10 1709 all updates applied
swap file 20GB
Dual Miner 10.2 ETH+SIA
AMD 17.11.4 drivers +DAG Patch (Previously had blockchain, no change in speed)
Compute mode on
MSI Afterburner V4.4

Any thoughts on what I can change to get more consistent and higher rates? 

Note: My 1060 are consistent at 23 mh/s

you need to mod your GPU Bios in order to achieve better hashrate for AMD RX470, see threads below

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1882656.new#new

it should reach at least 27-29mh/s

I think there might be something wrong with 10.2.  I have 2 identical rigs.  One running 9.8 and super stable.  The other rig is on 10.2 and windows gets really sluggish after 3hrs of mining. I couldn't even move any windows around and afterburner becomes unresponsive.  I am going to switch my 10.2 over to 9.8 and see if that will make a difference.

have you tried the 10.1?

no.. why?  are you having similar issue? is 10.2 the culprit? this is the only difference in my 2 rigs.  Both have the exact same hardware

my problem with 10.2 is the "Temperature control thread hangs, need to restart the miner!" error, both on my 2 rigs, never encounter this error on previous versions...

don't fix what's not broken right?  I mean.. is there really any performance increase from say 9.8 to 10.2?  not that i could tell in terms of hash rates.

Have seen some people mention -eqlim 288 or something like that.. what does that do?

Wow, this increased my 270X GPUs to 19MH, and RX470s and RX570s with 0.2MH. Shocked

Is is just me or is Clamore's Ethereum miner been crashing more than usual lately? I suspect is has something to do with the larger DAG files needed, as I can run the same program on another coin such as Expanse and get several days of up-time, but while mining Ethereum I am lucky to get 48 hours before the program hangs trying to restart itself.

I already tried lowering my clocks, increasing voltage, using -ethi 5 and 6 but it doesn't seem to help. My temperatures are quite cool now with winter approaching and all my PSUs are either Evga or Corsair running at only 80% efficiency, so I don't think it is any of those things.

At the moment the size of the DAG file for a 127 epoch EXP is 1.99 GB. Which is very small and potica with the original ETH DAG file are excluded.

Hi, Is there something wrong with the late teamviewer versions alongside the most recent windows 10 version? Claymore becomes stuck at "start building OpenCL program for GPU 0..."  if I am logged on with teamviewer. If I am not logged on it starts mining as normal. Once I logon GPU 0 Hangs in open cl and miner continue with the rest of the cards. Thats ofcourse because I have  -wd 0 and -r -1. Otherwise everything works very well until you connect with teamviewer. Is there any setting to be changed?

bump, this is really bugging me on 2 different miners with latest version of windows (1709 fall 2017 update) I am still uncertain if its windows, teamviewer or claymore miner at fault.
