Topic: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) - page 428. (Read 784958 times)

Phoenixminer is possible stale shares which GPU - >> total ?? and gpu 1 /? gpu2 /? gpu3 /? etc. It is easier to change settings of the GPU that causes the most stales.

2.9d slightly higher  than 2.8c hashrate for cards with Micron memory
2.8c slightly higher than claymore 11.6

----

with cl I got 190
with 2.8c i got 191
with 2.9d i got 192

same rig same cards

but CL had it runing for 20 days no issues windows works fine
2.8c after 10 hours windows start menue non responsive had to close miner and all is working, runing 2.9d now

Wow I just noticed it shows how many shares each card got and if any incorrect etc... very nice

32.5 - 32.6 mhs very nice

upgraded from 2.8c
stale share of 900MH/s mining rigs down from 3-4% to 1% now
share from 7XX to 8XX now

I've had no problems with Phoenix or other miners using the latest drivers from nvidia. If there was ever an issue, you can roll back to older versions.

I have no stability issue with the blockchain drivers and have been using phoenix since 2.6 version. 3X RX570 with bios mod.

Phoenixminer 2.9.d is really a difference much less stale shares compared with v2.8.c, hashrate with default -mi 12 for nvidia suddenly goes up with phoenixminer 2.9.d some rigs run fixed or 999 therefore with afterburner settings something back.Thank you phoenixminer developer 2.9.d is really super with far fewer stale shares, so far it has been a long-term problem with high stale shares on all previous versions of phoenixminer. and at phoenixminer 2.9.d almost 0 stales, I do not know what you have done with this version but is really applause.Phoenixminer starting with all those percentages on the screen takes much longer, would be very nice if it would start without that is just as with ETHMiNER, hopefully you get that in the next version for each other a quick start of phoenixminer. if you need testers for upcoming new versions I like to help.

same problem..

Just create short cut on windows startup folder wi start just perfect. you don't need regedit at all.. WTF: -) You don't need to swear at all. just ask. :-)

To the Developer:

For some reason phoenixminer will NOT AUTO RUN using regedit but Claymore does  ? what gives

I set up all my rigs to auto log on auto mine - in case power loss or windows update or some other bulsh*t etc.........

works fine with claymore.

If I input phoenixminer.exe absolutely NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER REBOOT ..................... WTF.......................................

I use CL uptime 20 days+++ flawless same hash no issues so speak for yourself. perhaps crap PC or crap gpu? nvidia ? I run RX580's

Thanks

Since I was able to run 8 instances of claymore in one computer, I assume I would have enough resource to do the same for phoenix then. I start 8 instance also for benchmark reason as well. Particularly I was able to measure the true output for different brand gtx 1070/1060 rx 580 gpus: eth/hour on a particular gpu.

Which nVidia driver version is consider to be good for Phoenix miner?

As long as you have enough ram and processing power there shouldn’t be a performance hit. If you don’t have enough resources then yes.

I’ll often run 2 instances of a miner on the same system. Four cards on claymore and four on Phoenix to test the differences over a few days. But I have more ram and processing power than a mining computer typically needs.

Also I would like to know if I start 8 instances of command windows to run Phoenix miner on 8 gpus of the same rig, is there any performance penalty on that?
This is what I did for claymore right now. each miner takes -di # (# is a single digit between 0 to 7 representing 1 gpu)
8 instances of claymores, each mine to a unique eth addr.
If one gpu crashes the miner but didn't cause system hang, the other 7 conitnue working w/o restart. the crashed gpu would just restart automatically 30 second ~ 20 minutes late depending on how bad the situation is. If I start all 8 in one instance, it would restart all 8 gpus as many times as it could until the single crash one became stable.

Thanks, but I want to run 1 instance of Phoenix for nvidia and 1 instance of claymore for AMD on the same rig.
I don't have AMD 18.3 driver installed on the rig. I only have the blockchain beta which is not suitable for Phoenix miner. Claymore has run very stable on it for months and I don't want to upgrade the drivers to introduce unkown factor and downtime.
The nVidia driver on the rig is very stable as well. But if my nVidia driver is good enough for phoenix, I can start a separated instnace of cmd to run all GTX1070/1060 on the rig. Some unknown factors but no downtime. That's why I want to know what's a good version of nVidia driver to run Phoenix. I use afterburn to control OC/Voltage for nVidia cards. Thanks in advance.

Update and comparison
2.9d is actually a bit of a loss in hashrate. vega 64 virtually no change from 2.8c. fury x are lower than 2.8c 34.5 avg now

the best speed was 2.8b but stales now are virtually nil.

Regards

Use two instances of Phoenix (or maybe you can specify which kernel for which GPU?) 1 for your AMD and another for your NVIDIA?

thanks man -worker name is resolved for me! now thats what i call support !!!

What is the best version for nVidia driver to run PhoenixMiner 2.8c or 2.9d?
I open multiple instances to run claymore on RX580 and Phoenix on GTX1070/1060 on the same rig, right?

Agreed. PhoenixMiner is the best! I have 6x1070 rig. Etherminer gives me 185-188MH, Claymore 10.6 - up to 190.2, but requires 2 restarts of rig per day to have stable hashrate (using windows scheduler), 11.0 - 11.5 do not provide stable hashrate (170 - 190), 11.6 did not test and do not want, but PhoenixMiner 2.8c gives me stable 191.6!!!

the same problem here, over from 2.8.c to 2.9.d only the phoenixminer downloaded nothing changed and becoming Crashes what now?
