Which driver would you recommend for Vega 56s? And is there perhaps any other parameter that you suggest I vary in particular to increase the hash rate?
Thanks in advance for your reply. Phoenix, keep up the good work. I really like your miner!
In terms of hashrate there really isn't much difference but in terms of stability 18.5.1 was best for us. However we don't push our test rigs to much in order to be able to clearly determine if a problem or a crash is caused by hardware pushed over the edge or software bug.
Getting errors with clkernel 3
gpu 7: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
Thread(s) not responsding. Restarting
gpu 9: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
gpu 8: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
gpu 10: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
gpu 11: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
gpu 13: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
gpu 12: clenqueueCopyBuffer (-4)
I have 3 identical rigs (13x radeon 570 8gb). Rig 1 is working (speed rised from 408 to 411). Rig 2 working after restart. Rig 3 is not working, have to use clkernel 1.
-clkernel 3 doubles the size of DAG files, so make sure that you have big enough page file for 13 cards with double DAG buffers (i.e. 13 x 3 + 4 = 82 GB).
Hi guys, first post.
I've done a couple extensive test using Pheonix 4 and claymore 11.8. I've noticed claymore is finding alot more blocks solo mining in a "pool".
I've also noticed in task manager that claymore shows one gpu use plus gpu 3d -0 on the right side of the task manager. It's the same gpu coming up everytime.
Now Phoenix will show different gpus popping up in there randomly, the question id like to know is, would this affect solo mining in any way? Because honestly, I'm getting twice the amount of blocks on claymore at a slightly lower speed ( yes I've underclocked all cards alot lower than recommended to see if the load on cards was too much to solve problems successfully.. but it didn't make much difference, pushing them too hard on the other hand, did.( and wasn't getting memory errors))
So, can pheonix miner actually solo mine, or is it just for pool mining?(even though I'm soloing on a pool)
I'm just not sure how the miner works, how a pool miner would be diff from a solo one, is it telling the cards to go about solving a block any differently? Because this seems too consistent for claymore to be finding more blocks..
P.s has anyone made a gui program to monitor the efficiency of each card, just to see if it could be doing better, I know some cards like slightly slower speeds to be more efficient..... talk about f"ing pedantic..
I'd love a reply from a miner developer!
Thanks fellow miners.
There is no difference between solo mining and pool mining as far as the hashrate goes. If you are testing under the same conditions (i.e. the same pool and difficulty) then this is just bad luck.
Taja, I just updated PhoenixMiner from 4.0b to 4.0c on a rig that mines at eu1. I don't see connection problems on both versions, but my address is like this: eu1.ethermine.org:5555.
I tried eu1.ethpool.org now and I have this error: Unable to establish secure connection to ssl://eu1.ethpool.org:3333: wrong version number
Ethpool doesn't support SSL, you must use
-pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 with it (note the missing ssl://).
I also had a sporadic, but this lasts for more than 12 hours.
I have both servers.
I just wanted to see if anyone else has problems with eu server.
One of our test rigs constantly mines to eu1.ethermine.org and we have had similar issues with it as well as large number of stale shares for about an hour and half a few days ago because the shares weren't confirmed by the pool for a few minutes or so. These are probably temporary technical issues but it is always wise to setup fallback pool (or few fallback pools in epools.txt) for such cases.
