So a 3.84 GB DAG should enter in the free VRAM.

I should work regarding the DAG size any advice?

Thank you

With the newest 456.38 nvidia drivers it gives me NVML errors all over the place.

ETC ?
Also.
Waiting PhoenixMiner 5.2...
While you can switch PhoenixMiner to ETH.

I have RX470 4GB cards also.
Try Team Red Miner.
No problem with 374, works like it’s 360
I was very pleased to see that  
Phoenix sometimes gets through, sometimes gives me same hashrates as yours at 374.
TRM keeps working like it’s nothing.
But I saw someone saying it can crash after some time.
I didn’t use it more than 2-3 hours, and during that time everything was OK.
Some mandatory commands in command line but was working just fine.
I’m back at Phoenix but it’s good to have an alternative.
Or just switch to Linux.

So fake?
When I compare with what I get at the pool the reported numbers look reasonable.

Any ideea someone how can i fix this?

Ty in advance

Yes, but 30% invalid represent far less even with the  (so fake) hashrate better

Second that. That'd be awesome!

hi there how can we Improve this tweak =>


-mi 14
-openclLocalWork 64
-openclGlobalMultiplier 2048.


because it works but 30% SHARE Invalid.

Doesn't increase anything...

I have rx 470 and 18.12.1.1 is proven to be best for me.
Maybe your clocks or/and voltage are a bit high?
Check those also, might not be the driver but the OC...or even -gt if you set it too brutal

Not only -rxboost, but you need to run -strap 1 command also.
Claymore can find which cards are you using and apply straps for them, if they are in the straps table.
For Polaris cards it’s really big gain.
My 6 x RX470 4GB rig goes from 177MH/s to 184.5-186 MH/s depending on MEM clock (2000-2050)

You can use AmdMemTweak to actually read timings and all the settings from Claymore while Claymore is running.
After that, you can apply those settings through AmdMemTweak with a batch file.
No need for Claymore after that.
AmdMemTweak tool is working good and it’s easier to read and apply straps which are already tested (through Claymore), than testing and making your own. But with AmdMemTweak you can try sqeezing even little more hashrate just with changing those reads you got from Claymore.
It’s a little boring to read and then apply settings for all the cards, so many typing, but once you do it, you won’t be needing Claymore.

For boosting Phoenix I used to run Claymore with -rxboost 1, -strap 1, -wd 0 and -mport 0 commands.
Didn’t pause miner with “mark” but I stopped the cards with typing 0,1...5 to disable all 6 cards.
After that just minimized Claymore and run Phoenix.
All the straps were applied to Phoenix and I was getting same hashrates.

Now I use AmdMemTweak, idk why, maybe because of my OCD and not wanting to run two miners at the same time...

Both, Claymore and AmdMemTweak boost solutions are working fine, you can try any of those.
Also driver can make a small change. 18.12.1.1 is proven to work best for my rigs.
Maybe you’ll get better results with different driver.

Just run it with -bench 375 (or whatever EPOCH you want to test) and see if it starts. Mine if I recall stops at Epoch 380 or somewhere there under Ubuntu. However depending on your setup it might be a few Epoch before or few Epoch after. Best way is to just run the benchmark and see if yours fail to load the DAG.

You will know because your rig will instacrash when creating the DAG. Mine starts to create the DAG and then all of a sudden it stops 25% or so and basically the rig freezes to the point where you need to literally pull the power plug and do a cold reboot. This is why I didn't want to pinpoint it exactly to what DAG it stops because its harmfull to the computer parts to keep pulling the power cord while its running. However the limit is somewhere between 375-380 or so.

I cannot get straps working on my P106s even with -nvmem 1 option. It just ignores it. Somebody can help maybe?

I've had the same problem a few times already, but updated the driver to the latest version and also decreased slightly the memory and for now it seems OK.

I have done tests and from my tests 379 is the last on linux, on windows PM said DAG epoch 372-373. ETH is on dag 363 at moment.

I am using 4GB cards in Win 10 and it’s working fine with all recommended options - drivers, etc.
DAG 372-373 is the limit, also just like you said.
Mining on NiceHash, it’s best and easiest for me.
I tried using -dagrestart 1 option because miner would crash after some time.
It was doing fine, restarting miner on every DAG change, but just for one day.
Now -dagrestart 1 is not doing anything but miner doesn’t crash any more.
Miner restarts only when it gets DAG high for not enough vram to buffer DAG.
Then it gets back to first available DAG with occasional DAG 0 “recalculations”.
What do you recommend? Should I set -eres 0 and -dagrestart 1?
Or just one of those, or just leave it like this untill DAG gets to 370?
When is a good time to set -eres 0 (and -dagrestart 1) if it should be used at all? I gues it should, but when?
After I exploit Win10, I will switch to SimpleMineOS, it’s really great.
And after no more 4GB cards for ETH, I will switch to something else.
I don’t pay for electricity, so anything I mine is pure profitability for me...3 years, I returned my investment multiple times.
Thank you in advance

I switched to ETH, there is less epoch number
and at this time .. the ETC reward increased 

Hi all,

I'm getting this on Ubuntu 16.04 18.4 drivers any ideea ?

No. Just use the amdmwemtweak for boosting.
