how can I use the new kernel? does it work automatically or does it need to set a parameter?
Im at 20.30 in linux with amd5700
It activates automatically when needed.
@ Mr. Phoenix thanks for update.
what about stpraps for polaris cards?
Working on it but probably won't be ready before January.
Some notes on the best (or at least some of the better) drivers for AMD cards:
- If you have 6GB or 8GB card that is at least Polaris (i.e. 470/480/570/580, Vega, Radeon VII, Navi), you should run at least driver 20.5.1 under Windows 10, or driver 20.10.x under Linux.
Is there any way to patch drivers version higher that 20.5.1 for BIOS modified cards? I had no luck with PhoenixMiner detecting any GPUs for mining with 20.5.1 and as far as I know you can't patch newer drivers with AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher.

Just use the latest pixelpatcher 1.4.8 from here:
https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patchermr. Phoenix Hi!
please tell me what's wrong with miner? Or am I doing something wrong.
I have Asus 1070ti strix 8GB. in afterburner pov. lim 85, core +50, memory +600, in the bat file, strap 1 - claymore of stable 34.5 for several years. but a phoenix with the same settings 32 max !!! And loads gpu so that the pages in the browser are not scrolled !!! Strap 2 artifacts before power reboot, strap 3 does not start at all. What's wrong with it???
That`s bat file:PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal ........................................1070TI -proto 3 -epsw x -straps 1 -log 0 -retrydelay 1 -Rmode 1 -coin eth -Wdog 1 -stales 1 -mport 0 -etha 0
pause
I really hope for your help! Thank you very much!!!
You may try to find the best possible settings between strap 1 and strap 2. Here is what to do:
- Enable the log by temporarily removing -log 0 from your bat file
- Start the miner and wait for a minute or so then stop it. Look in the log file for a line similar to this one: "GPU1: set VRAM strap 1 (-vmt1 25 -vmt2 20 -vmt3 0 -vmr 33)". Note that in your case the values in -vmt1, -vmt2, -vmt3, and -vmr will probably be different. Write them down.
- Remove -strap 1 from the bat file and replace it with the values that you wrote down from the previous step: -vmt1 25 -vmt2 20 -vmt3 0 -vmr 33 Again, the values in your case will probably be different, use them, not these example values here.
- Start the miner again and wait for a several minutes to see the speed - should be the same as with -straps 1 if you set everything properly.
- From here on you can start experimenting by stopping the miner, increasing some of the values by little (for example, replace -vmt1 25 with -vmt1 26), and then start the miner and check if it is stable and what is the speed.
Finally, if you want to use the computer, while mining, and without slowdowns, you must decrease the mining intensity by setting
-mi 8 or even lower value (
-mi 0 should allow uninterrupted work on your PC but will lower the mining speed).
Do not decrease -mi while adjusting the memory timing values as shown in the previous steps - do it once you are satisfied with the other settings.Hello! Does Phoenixminer support the "zombie mode" which is implemented in another miners (like lolminer) so we will be able to mine with reduced speed even in early January 2021? I just upgraded from 5.1 to 5.3b using Linux (Ethos) and speed reduced from 28.5 MH to 26.5 MH per one 570RX 4GB card... Any solution for this how? Thanks a lot for your help!!
Yes, we support something similar but the speed will start decreasing with each new epoch after 381-382. It is not a long-term solution, and there is no permanent workaround.
does PhoenixMiner 5.4b fixes issues with the new Nvidia 460.79 driver ?
Cause I mine too on my gaming rig and would like to update for cyberpunk
We will see if it is possible to fix the issue in 5.4c, which should also bring official/initial support for Nvidia RTX 30x0 series cards.
ETH under Linux (OpenCL 20.30) R9 390 8Gb (-61)
?
We are aware about the problem with Hawaii cards and we working on modified kernels. Hopefully they will be ready in a week or so.
is there a fix for
Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61).
?
We only see this error with Hawaii cards (R9 290/390). If you have other (newer) cards and still see the problem, please let us know the PhoenixMiner version, the AMD driver version, and the exact type of the cards. Also at least part of the log file will be helpful, including the error and one-two screens before that.
