Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 739. (Read 6590565 times)

Hi guys
I have gone crazy to setup 6 GPU, 5 works ok with no problem
When I enable the 6th one after 10-15 minutes   cpu usage goes high and reach 90%. no program with high cpu in task manager but "system"
tried with MSI afterburner running to speed up fans, and without it  
If I leave it like that after a while claymore gives error. or system freeze before WatchDog could restart.

All 6 GPU are detected and working fine, tried to run with 5 and cycle the 6th one to check if problem is from risers or power cables ( Disabled pcie1 , run with 5, disabled pcie2 run with 5 .... )
All ok with 5 GPU no matter which one, as soon as I enable 6th the cpu goes high.
system is :
Windows 10, 1703 , all drivers updated to latest with "Driver Booster"
Mobo: MSI Z170A XPower Gaming Titanium Edition
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower XT Gold 1275W
GPU: 6x 1070 Asus Dual 8OG
Ram: ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4 8GB 2800MHz CL17 Dual Channel
CPU: Pentium G4400 3.3GHz LGA 1151 Skylake CPU
HDD: SAMSUNG 750 EVO 120GB SATAIII Solid State Drive


PEG0, PEG1, PEG2 gen 1 (tried with auto too)
4G enabled
IGD disabled (tried with enable too)

NOT ENOUGH POWER--

You need a 1000W PSU for 5 to 6 GPUS.  A PSU needs to have more capacity than  the maximum power draw for ALL of your GPUs combined.  The highest efficiency is at about 60-70 percent of the rated capacity of the PSU.

You can not get by without overloading and burning out a low-power, low efficiency PSU.  5 x 150W equals 750W, and that is greater than 650W (your PSU).  A low-wattage algorithm may work for a while, but the PSU will still burn out.  It could also explode or catch fire.

I no longer buy cheap, unrated PSUs.  Stick with Gold, or Platinum, from a reliable manufacturer with a soiid warranty.  A PSU will really explode if over-worked.       --scryptr

I use Win 7 64 bit on one my pc and drivers are 372.70 v. And my Asus nvidia 1060 3 Gb give 24 Mh eth average

Hey all, been mining eth for a little bit with this now and just decided to try dual mining w/dcr as a next step. I am getting a few Mh/s drop in eth mining when going dual as compared with running single, is this normal? The claim on the front page is no hit to eth mining in dual mode so wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for any help!

I'm running all nvidia, a mix of 1060,1070,1080 on different miners, each miner exhibits the same behavior.

Here's my batch file to start it all up...
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Hi team,
New to mining so apologize for the noob quesition. If I'm mining with Claymore at ~42Mh/s, and I have 550 total shares, when does the account get setup? GPU GTX 1080

That isn't a bug. As epoch goes up, hashrate of many amd gpu's goes down. It is known. 

Hi, i have a rx 580 Nitro+ 4Gb gpu, with a power supply of 650w

if I only use ethereum mode, all its fine (24mh/s) but, when I try dual mining, after a short time, my pc reboots, could it be caused by lack of current or voltage?

I run the miner only with required parameters, epool dpool wallets, and passwords, my rx 580 is NOT modded and running at 60-64ºC

Could anyone help me with that?

Also.. which pool is the best for 1 GPU?

Thanks

try  asia1.ethermine.org:14444 or other server?

Thank you very much, i'll give that a go

Hey guys,

what hashrates are you getting on nvidia cards?
Single/dual mining (preferably with ETH+SIA)

1070 =?
1080 =?
1080Ti =?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Claymore

I just decided to mine both ETH and SIA at the same time using EthDcrMiner64 v9.7 but I see a big difference in speed when mining.
On the front page you listed that I can dual mine "with no impact on Ethereum mining speed".
I have 2 R9 290x which mine at around 32mh/s on ETH (single mode). When dual mining ETH & SIA, I get around 20-23mh/s on ETH and 700 mh/s on SIA.

Am I doing something wrong?

Here's my config.txt file


And my start.bat


Both pools are accepting my shares so I know those are configured right.
Thanks!

Dear Claymore
Please, pay attention on dramatically decrease hash rate with epoch growth.
I test it on my rig with 3 RX580 4Gb (use -benchmark key) and here are results:
epoch #120 ETH: GPU0 29.380 Mh/s, GPU1 29.532 Mh/s, GPU2 29.944 Mh/s
epoch #130 ETH: GPU0 29.146 Mh/s, GPU1 29.273 Mh/s, GPU2 29.700 Mh/s
epoch #140 ETH: GPU0 27.567 Mh/s, GPU1 27.664 Mh/s, GPU2 27.992 Mh/s
epoch #160 ETH: GPU0 21.309 Mh/s, GPU1 21.397 Mh/s, GPU2 21.666 Mh/s
epoch #180 ETH: GPU0 18.493 Mh/s, GPU1 18.509 Mh/s, GPU2 18.795 Mh/s

So very shortly we got decrease hash rate on 5% (between epoch #130 and #140).
Please fix this bug or explain what to do.

An update that allows solo mining of PASC/PASL in dual mode would be much appreciated.

You must update your win10 to creators update!

Here is a link to the driver 352.84.

Anyone 

So after more struggling, i still cant fix it :/

Hi claymore,

1. I recommends GPU index to over 10, there's 12way rig support MB has released.
So, I think,

gpu index to [0..9]  --> [0..9..A-F] ordering.
support to hex digit.
then It will support 16 gpu cards.

2. Can you find another way of small using of virtual memory?
Now, it needs 16GB virtual memory.

I'm making 32GB ubuntu USB.
and Swap size to 17GB, but, another server process uses almose 6GBs.
So, some hours later dualminer can't restart because of shortage of VM.

please make your miner with small virtual memory. speed is no problem.

thanks.

Try adding -dcri 8 as a switch

Why this 9.7 version reduce my mining speed, before i got 30.6MH on claymore 8.1 using rx480 moded, but using this latest version my hash speed drop to 28.6-8MH Im using same bat file from 8.1v.. Is there any problem with that?
