I`m having a problem with v10 and AMD blockchain edition driver
My GPU, mem and voltage only applies to first card.
i tried to set clocks and voltage for each card (ex: -mvddc 900,900,900) and only 1 time for all but they get applied only for the first card
All my cards are the same vendor and with previous driver and wattoll i was using same settings and worked


I have similar problem with setting in "mixed" rig, which contains old R9 380 cards and a pair of RX480. Sometimes first setting applies to every card. Could fix it using OverdriveNTool only and skipping setting via miner.

Is it possible to set a different overclock setting for each gpu in the config and bat file?


Pay your attention to readme!!!.txt which is quite helpful

Sample:
-mclock   set target GPU memory clock speed, in MHz. If not specified or zero, miner will not change current clock speed. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-mclock 1200,1250,1200,0".
Zero means - no change

Current state :

8x Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition (blue one) - Samsung mem + Uber-mix v 3.1 straps flashed silent bios
Aug23 blockchain drivers 
-cclock 1150;-mclock 2125;-cvddc 880;-mvddc 880;
power drain - ~1380W+/-20W measured on wall (idle system 150W)
miner without restarts - minimum GPU memory errors
~ 245MHs

Still digging around to lower electricity drainage..


Did you try Uber-mix v.2.3 straps? They looks more stable and even less mem errors than v.3.1 at my ASUS RX480 DUAL cards with Samsung memory

idle system 150W

This is with all of your risers and cards plugged in right?

Gpus drain some power by just being plugged in. If you want an accurate measurement per card then unplug all of your GPUs and risers and then measure your idle consumption. If you have an ssd and a later generation cpu it should be around 30-40w

Yes, it's okay. This is with all 8 cards connected. "Idle" means everything ready for miner start. :-)

@claymore, how can i reset the overclocking of your program? where ca i find it? regedit? I mean, I had to change its name to reset the settings.

There is no simple way to restore default clocks. You can reinstall drivers, or do it via WattMan, also in most cases drivers apply default clocks after GPU driver crash.

Nvidia cards truly suck for dual mining.

!060's  23.6 eth(alt eth coin) 17.6 Lbr
vs
570      29.3 eth(alt eth coin) 65. Lbr

Hell my R9 280X 23.7(no mods) Eth(alt eth coin)53.2 Lbr - tried just to test but do not mine with this card too power hungry


You are comparing an apple to an orange.  570/580 is more in line with a 1070 not a 1060.
570 is not more in line with 1070, it is priced comparatively to the 1060 so I am comparing it to the 1060.


But if you count the price of the cards, then you should maybe count a power consumption too, it's not a big difference in power consumption price but is still there? And when you are lacking power in your farm Nvidia comes handy.

Just to share my experience with Blockchain drivers, electricity, etc.

Pre-Previous state  :

8x Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition (blue one) - Samsung mem - flashed silent bios (1750 strip -> 2000 strip) - nothing special
17.7.1 - drivers
-cclock 1150;-mclock 2200;-cvddc 840;-mvddc 840;
power drain - ~1170W measured on wall (idle system 150W)
running ROCK stable more than two weeks
~212 MHs

Previous state :

8x Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition (blue one) - Samsung mem - flashed silent bios (1750 strip -> 2000 strip) - nothing special
Aug23 blockchain drivers
-cclock 1150;-mclock 2200;-cvddc 875;-mvddc 875;
power drain - ~1270+/-20W measured on wall (idle system 150W)
miner sometimes restart + lot of GPU memory errors
~237MHs

No external utils needed. I hardcode voltages in bios and do fine-tune with claymore's miners. (New API is good on both ZEC & ETH miners)



Would you mind please share the mod bios for 470 you are using ?

It depends on the card and memory maker. What cards are you interested in?
Generally it's pretty straight forward:
1) copy tighter straps for the top memory ranges (from 1500 -> 1750 to 2000 depending on the memory)
2) set fixed voltages(not default offsets) lowering the highest  to below 950mv. (I don't look to get the every bit of juice from my setup, so my bios top core limits are around 1180MHz@ 923mv)

You can look for ready to use bioses for various cards, it would be probably easier to find if you look here: https://forum.ethereum.org

Thanks for good work Claymore. Keep it up.

I was using your 9.7 miner for some time but now when I see version 10 is out I will give it a try.

any fix on windows 7 64bit , 980 ti only getting around 16mh. I read something about using older drivers but I'm duo mining with a 1080 ti.
You should consider switching to ZEC.

Yes i should, but i had good results with ETH/lbry, but went to windows 10 & it sucked, back to win 7 & not getting the 20-23mh i used to get not sure what i did wrong.

2x Vega FE, 40-42Mh/s each.  3770k, water cooled, two HDDs, two SSDs, 3 fans.

Idle, 90w, full load mining, 511w.

Hi Navy, how the heck do you keep mem clock from dropping to 500?  my 64's are stuck there.

-cvdcc 1000 too low?
I managed to run my vega liquid 1300/[email protected], perfectly stable both single eth or dual eth+lbc. The speed is 42.5 single (140watt) and 41.3+200 dual (230 watt). Wattage from the wall.
If I have had win10 with blockchain drivers then results would be even better.
But 17.8.2 is only drivers that work for me under win7, blockchain drivers are broken under win7

Does Claymore order the GPUs based on bus slot? Or is there a way to do it with the -altnum command?

Is there any way to get nvidia power levels reported in stats so we can monitor and graph that?  (thinking ethmonitoring.com)
