Low Difficulty shares wont make more esrnings.  im mining eth at 4000mh not the 536mh binance is using.  Yes you get more shares but they are worth less than the nearly 3000 shares an hour im getting.  In the end earnings should be identical for same gh in.

Does 5.2c support for new ETC algo after dag reduction?

I hope so.
good question.
@PhoenixMiner I suppose you do have plans to release ETC new algo?

PhoenixMiner 5.2c (still beta) is ready with speed improvement for AMD 4 GB cards. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.2c from here (this is only the Windows version, the Linux version will be ready in a few days):

If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes (you need the last file PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip only if you want to mine BCI with Nvdia cards under Windows):

The fixes in this release (since 5.1) include the following:

  • The kernels are modified to allow bigger DAG limit of 4023 MB under Windows. This will get the hashrate back to 100% on current epoch, and the next epoch will only lose about 2-3% of the hashrate.
  • The -daglim parameter is now on "auto" (1) by default and it sets the DAG limit to 4023, so you don't need to set -daglim 1 or -daglim 4023 if the default value is working fine.
  • AMD cards with more than 4 GB RAM will now work without issues until DAG epoch 450
  • Added new -daglim parameter to allow a few more weeks of work for 4 GB AMD Polaris cards. Use -daglim 1 for automatic operation, or specify a concrete value for the maximum DAG size (example: -daglim 4000 will set max DAG size 4000 MB)
  • Added -rxboost parameter (also accessible via -vmr) to boost the performance of GDDR5 based AMD cards (Polaris or earlier)
  • Added memory straps support for AMD Vega cards. Use the -straps command-line option to activate it (example: -straps 1 will activate the lowest strap level)
  • The Nvidia memory timing (straps) option is improved and now is turned off during DAG generation to avoid any possible instability issues
  • Many other small improvements and fixes

Here are some additional notes:

  • With PhoenixMiner 5.2c either remove the -daglim option entirely, or set it to -daglim 4023, which should work on all 470/480/570/580/590 cards with "good" drivers (see bellow)
  • The -daglim option works only on Polaris cards (RX470, RX480, RX570, RX580, RX590). It limits the DAG size to MB to allow mining on 4 GB cards a few weeks after epoch 374 on Windows (or after 380-383 on Linux). The possible values are the exact DAG limit in MB, or 0 (turn off the DAG limit), or 1 (automatic DAG limit size, usually around 4023 MB under Windows; this is the default option). Note that the  hashrate will drop significantly with each epoch after the DAG limit is in effect. If the hashrate drops too much (e.g. from 28 MH/s to just 2-3 MH/s, you need to use lower value, for example -daglim 3990
  • It is also important to use auto-tune (do not specify -gt values in the command line) because the optimal -gt value may change with each new epoch, and will definitely be different than before.
  • If you cards doesn't work with the default DAG limit of 4023 and require substantial decrease to 4006 or 3990, you need to update to one of the "good" AMD drivers for Windows: from 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), and from 19.12.2 to 20.11.1 (inclusive)
  • Using -rxboost, -vmr, or -straps on AMD cards requires running as administrator (or as root under Linux), so you need to run PhoenixMiner as administrator for the VRAM timing options to work. Note that the -mt option will still work without running as administrator/root.
  • The -rxboost option is only supported on GDDR5 cards (RX4xx/RX5xx or older).
  • The VRAM timing options can be quite different between the GPUs, even when the GPUs are the same model. Therefore, you can (and probably should) specify the VRAM timing options separately for each GPU.

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.2c.

As advertised. Now 4023MB can be manually set for each 4GB GPU and it will allocate current epoch no problem. (doing ZIL in parallel is not possible though - the rigs will crash on a new dag. TRM will do ZIL no problem, it seem to be able to hold once allocated buffer always reserved, it's less stable than phoenix though and tiny bit slower too)
 
Also theres a problem that I guess is windows related: long pcie device chains get fucked up at the end - if I have 12GPUs the 12th would be able to allocate not above 3960 (or so) also same story with 11 devices - the 11th one would have reduced space for allocation.

Hello. There is a problem: There are several rigs composition; win10, cards RX 580 8Gb, mother Asrock 81, driver 20.9.1 If after rebooting immediately turn on Phoenix v5.2c then the speed from the card is 30mh/s, and if you first run the nanominer v1.12.0 and then Phoenix, the speed on fenex rises more than 32mh/s and keeps stable. If the rig is reloaded, it will be 30mh/s again. To get 32mh/s, the operation with the launch of the nano miner must be repeated and then again it will be 32mh/s. Currently, no additional parameters are registered. If you pre-launch the nano miner only on one map, then the speed will increase only on one map. If you put strap 1 on the map where the speed is already 32mh/s, then the speed drops to 30 mh/s. What could be the problem? Which parameter should I add or change? This pattern always works on different rigs.

yes im having that problem too. it looks like 5.2a 5.2b 5.2c has that problem, also developer do not recommend 20.9.1 driver

Hello.

I'm using PhoenixMiner 5.2c on Windows 10 with Adrenaline 19.7.5 drivers,  4 x 570RX 4GB cards in "compute mode" (VGA output connected to intergrated Intel GPU) with following settings:
Code:
-acm
-eres 1
-lidag 2
-tt -60,-45,-60,-60
-cclock 1050,1050,1050,1050
-cvddc 900,950,900,900
-mclock 1970,1970,1970,1970
-mvddc 850,850,850,850
-daglim 3990
Yet after DAG generation I get 0 Mh/s on every card, please advise what could be wrong, thank you.

PS. https://pastebin.com/Mb1asrvP <- the the log - I couldn't pinpoint anything strange or any errors that are in there though.

Basically the DAG is very large and life is ending for 4GB cards. If you really want you can do a few solutions

1) Switch to bigger GPUs like >6GB. And put the largest GPU in the first PCIe slot, and maybe your 4GB might work.

2) Use Linux. Install Ubuntu and run Phoenixminer on Linux and you should be good for another month or so.

3) Use a miner like lolminer which lets you mine >4GB however its at reduced speeds. At first its not so bad but with every new DAG it will hash slower and slower.

Besides this, not much else to do really except upgrade your farm to all 8GB GPUs.

I need help. I used to mine with Claymore 15, Blokchain driver  and RX570 nitro+. My speeds were 32.5 Mh/s and I switched to Phoenix miner but my speed is 31.5 and I cant change -mvddc value. If I put -mvddc it wont start mining just crashes. I can mine without that value but my power usage goes up a lot when compared to Claymore. I tried 20.8.1 drivers but only get 10 Mh/s and I can get it to work with -mvddc 900. Any ideas?
if you have more 11 Mh, you card on compute mode already

you need "Memory Tweak"

What are the drivers specifically recommended for Windows 7 64 bits?

I have installed 20.4.2, 20.9.2, 19.12.2, 20.1.3, 20.1.2 beta blockchain and they all send me the following error when writing the dag file "GPU1: Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61)." (some don't even show the error)

4GB VRAM graphics card
Archive pag file 20GB

On the other hand, in windows 10 I have no problem, but I use windows 7 for more comfort

Likewise I have no problem with other mining software with the mentioned drivers, something related to windows 7?

Still not working in 5.2c, when this will be fixed?

EDIT: OK, it's working now. Smiley
