please advice me. Now almost all vendor in my country cut off warranty if I flash bios so I have been use claymore with strap for a long time. after he look like stop update I start to try mining with pheonix miner but got a probelm.
I try -mt option. My asus 570 8gb (not flash bios) with mt 0 got 25MH, 4.0MH with -mt 1 and crash with -mt 2.
What am I done wrong? please advice me. I use latest amd driver.
This is strange, as the
-mt option works fine with most cards. We are going to implement more flexible straps for AMD cards soon (ideally - in the 5.2 version of PhoenixMiner) but in the meantime, you can try different drivers because the -mt option actually uses the straps from the driver.
Just reporting an issue I ran into on v5.1b with mixed-gen ETH mining on one XFX RX 5700 8GB + one XFX RX 480 8GB + one MSI RX 480 8GB on Ubuntu 20.04 (via both minerstatOS v1.5 and v1.6). When I upgraded from PhoenixMiner v5.0e to v5.1b, I saw my RX 5700 hashrate drop to about 58% of normal, and the two RX 480s dropped to about 67% of normal hashrate. Whether related to the miner or the OS, I cannot say, but I also saw the GPU memory clocks intermittently bouncing back to stock settings for 20 seconds at a time instead of locking in at my normal overclocks, and I would hear the fans adjust their throttles each time the clocks adjusted.
Rolling back to v5.0e followed by a reboot seems to have resolved these issues. I have happily used a few versions of the PhoenixMiner for about four months on this mixed-gen rig without issue, so this was a bit of a surprise. Unfortunately, my normal log file didn't have any suspicious messages or errors to report.
This could be related to the OS and driver versions. We haven't tested on Ubuntu 20.04 yet (our Linux test rigs use Ubuntu 16.x and Ubuntu 18.x) and it is possible that the new AMD pro drivers for 20.04 are different that these for 18.04 (this is certainly true for 20.20-1098277, which is released only for 20.04 and is not supported by PhoenixMiner yet). We are going to build some rigs with 20.04 soon but this will only be reflected in the next release of PhoenixMiner.
Can you add memory strap support to the P106 series GPUs as well (P106-100, P106-90). They're basically just GTX 1060 but the mining version.
Here's the log output:
First, you must run the miner as administrator in order to use the straps. It this doesn't help, we are also adding straps support for more Pascal-based cards for the next release (5.1c), which should be ready in a few days. As the number of different Pascal-based GPUs is too big to be able to obtain and test on all of the, we also added a new parameter in 5.1c that will allow you to "trick" PhoenixMiner that the card is supported even when it isn't, which should be useful for the more "exotic" GPU variants like Quadro, mining cards, etc.
Could someone explain what does this new strap command do? Does it worth to start experiment with it? Should we see better hashrate with it?
It tightens the memory timings of GDDR5 or GDDR5X chips of the Pascal-based Nvidia cards (GTX10x0), which may lead to better hashrate. If your card is supported it is definitely worth it to try this option. For some cards (these with GDDR5X memory) the results are quite good but even for GDDR5 cards there will be some improvement. Note that for some cards like 1070 (but not 1070Ti), which suffer from lower hashrate with each new epoch, you may need to allow more power by using higher power limit or higher core clock in order to see the improvement with the current high DAG epoch numbers on ETH and ETC.
Hello,
I have two 5700xt mining together.
I would like to put differents fan settings like that, but it's not working, only one card is working the first one (-gpus 1) :
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool pool -wal wallet -worker worker
-gpus 1 -gt 55 -tt 67 -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -fanmin 75 -fanmax 100 -mclock 1850 -amd -mode 1 -clKernel 1 -clNew 1
-gpus 2 -gt 55 -tt 67 -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 75 -mclock 1850 -amd -mode 1 -clKernel 1 -clNew 1
Is there a way to make different settings for each cards?
Thanks for any advice.
The way to specify different settings for each GPU is as follows:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool pool -wal wallet -worker worker -gt 55 -tt 67 -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -fanmin 50,75 -fanmax 75,100 -mclock 1850 -amd -mode 1 -clKernel 1 -clNew 1
So, when the parameter is the same for all cards, just specify it once like thsi:
-tt 67. When you want different values for each GPU, use it like this:
-fanmin 50,75 - it this case the fanmin for the first card will be 50, for the second 75. Note that there must be no spaces between the comma and the numbers, and if you have more than two GPUs, you must specify a number for each of them.
do new features work under linux?
Yes, both
-ttli and the Nvidia memory timing adjustments work under Linux too. You
must run the program as root in order to use the straps.
@Phoenixminer - if you can make a section of config file for delayed execution that would be good enough.
good job on timings integration!
adding kawpow could be even better, as this miner is mostly very stable:)
Not a bad idea but it may lead to instability. We will think about this for the next release. We are also exploring the possibility of adding KawPow support for the next release if time permits.
