Topic: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) - page 434. (Read 784958 times)

I try all version od PhoenixMiner. But my conclusion is on my rig best choose PhoenixMiner 2.6. Now i'll try just last version of Claymore.

I had similar experience.
I found with the increased hash rate from Phoenix I had many memory errors. ( Don't get them on Claymore using same clock speeds )
When I lowered the mem clocks to get rid of the memory errors I had the same hash rate as Claymore.
Then I observed that I actually got less accepted shares at the pool with Phoenix than Claymore.
So, for now I'm still using Claymore.

I get 3 Mh/s per second higher hash rate in a 9 card 1060 rig over the same rig running Claymore 11.6. However Claymore is currently producing 0.05 more ETH per month on the same 9 card rig in my 48 hour test. Big fan of phoenix though, will come back and try them on the next release.

I'm curious how that works if you have say a 3GB card mixed with other cards >3GB mining on the same pool on the same machine.

like you have a 1060-3G and a 1060-6GB, both running ETH on the same pool in the same rig. how does the miner only devfee the one card?

No point running any 3gb gpu with PhoenixMiner unless for testing purposes, use claymore and the dev fee is free for 3gb gpus.

confirmed!
I have one 3Gb card that can not work with Phoenix & any UBIQ pools!!!
but work fine with Phoenix & ETC and Phoenix & EXP
someone solved the problem?

Page 1 first Topic maybe ?

Helloo Dev, Is there new update on miner?

Assuming you have your modded roms flashed to all cards correctly.
1. Let's reinstall your drivers:
 - Run amdcleanuputility.exe and let it cleanup your drivers. Once completed. Reboot.
 - Download official latest drivers from Radeon web page. As of writing this post that would be: win10-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.3.3-march18.exe
 - Install the drivers. If you are only using the GPUs for mining, use custom install and only install driver. There is no need for other components (audio, radeon settings, ...)
2. Update registry (Enable compute mode):
Open RegEdit.exe and navigate and expand:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\
Identify all the 0001, 0002, 0003... in my 13 cards rig I have 0000 ... 0014, where 0001 to 0014 are the GPUs and 0000 is some generic.
Now in each of these 0001 ... 0013 create a DWORD 32 bit value named: KMD_EnableInternalLargePage
Set it to value 2.

I do this by inspecting the registry and the updating my template file (Video-ComputeMode.reg) then merging the file:
TO make nnnn a kandidate for GPU it must have some keys included such as: KMD_EnableBrightnessInterface2, KMD_EnableContextBasedPowerManagement
If you do not see these keys, then leave this key alone.
KMD_EnableInternalLargePage will not be in any of them - you have to add it.
-------- START FILE HERE -----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0002]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0003]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0004]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0005]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002
-------- END FILE HERE -----------

This is just an example of the file, you need to update this to match your actual keys present in the registry as described above.

3. Download and run atikmdag-patcher.exe
4. Reboot and start your miner. It will HASH the old values you had in the past (it depends on what you modded to your roms).
For best performance you can also tune the freq/voltage using the Phoenix miner options: For example I use:
-cclock 1200 -mclock 2200 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 -- which gives me 31.9 MH/s.
On some MICRON RX580 even -cclock 1220 and -mclock 2220 hashing at 32.100 Mh/s stable in ETH only mining.
Personally I do not use any 3rd party tuning tools such as MSI Afterburner, Wattman ... The miner can set the custom freq./voltages just right.

BTW: The difficulty level is unrelated to the actual hash rate of the GPU.

Should you have further questions or need assistance send a PM message with your Skype ID and I will contact you ...

Good hashing.

Great, works with Windows 10 and the 388.13 nVidia driver (http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/126179/en-us)with the follow syntax:

PhoenixMiner.exe -coin eth -nvidia -gpus 1 -pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -pool2 asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -wal WalletAddress.WorkerName -proto 3 -eres 0 -lidag 1

Thanks for your suggestion warezzol

Now continuing with mining

Oh, increased CPU usage is only with -gpow parameter. Without it or with -li option CPU usage is norm - 0-0,5%.
I think that it -gpow bug...

Latest version is v11.6:

- improved hashrate for weak Nvidia cards by about 1%.
- zero devfee for 3GB cards in Windows 10, same as for all 2GB cards.
- applied some tricks to increase available memory for 3GB cards in Windows 10 so you can mine ETH a bit longer.
- now you can press "y" key to turn on "Compute Mode" in AMD drivers for all cards (Windows only).
- Linux version: removed openssl library dependency.
- improved "-logfile" option, now you can use it to specify a folder for log files, use slash at the end to do it, for example, "-logfile logs\".
- added "-epoolsfile" and "-dpoolsfile" options.
- remote management: now "miner_getstat2" command also returns PCI bus index for every GPU.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.

For 1060 3GB + W10 the best is Claymore 11.6: stable, no errors about memory, 0% developer fee!!

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tested with -eres 0, -eres 1, -eres 2 and -eres 0 -lidag 1, but the same issue, at this time I've downloaded and installed the driver 388.13 from nVidia, just reboot my workstation and I will test again. Thanks

what is the best gpu for your miner? (ROI)

I noticed that PM constantly uses 1.5-2% of CPU power during mining. Why? Can it be reduced?

Hello, friend!
Use  option -eres 0

For 1060 3GB + W10 the best is Claymore 11.6: stable, no errors about memory, 0% developer fee!!

I've tested with Windows 7 and works great, now I want to run PhoenixMiner 2.8c with Windows 10.0.16299.334 with the last patches in the same Workstation (Intel s5000psl, 2 Intel Xeon E5450 processors for a total of 8 cores, 32Gb RAM, EVGA nVidia 1060GTX 3Gb, a virtual memory assigned to 16Gb Min/64Gb Max) but appear the follow issue:

GPU1: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (pcie 7), CUDA cap. 6.1, 3 GB VRAM, 9 CUs

Thread(s)  not responding. Restarting.

In an infinite loop until I close the window, I've used the following syntax in the bat file:

PhoenixMiner.exe -coin eth -nvidia -gpus 1 -pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -pool2 asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -wal wallet.workername -proto 3

or

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -pool2 asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -wal wallet.workername -proto 3

In both cases the same issue "CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:205 : out of memory (2)" .

Anyone that could help me I appreciate, thanks in advanced

Added PhoenixMiner 2.8c to official EthControl software list, great work.

Those are numbers indicative of cards not in the compute mode. If you are using the AMD utility to switch to computer, you have to switch each card and restart to take effect, repeat for all cards (very time consuming). There is a script to switch all at once by modifying the registry (much quicker). Also, how did you mod your bios? with a downloaded rom file or change the strap yourself? If you have not fixed the problem ping me i will try to help.
