Luv this miner I find its giving me about 1 mh more than CL 10.4. I'm running several fury x and it seems there is room for more optimizations. if I can help in any way please pm me if I can provide you any data as id love to help you get these legacy cards more out of them for all fury users.

thanks

@PhoenixMiner, bro I have been with the newest version 2.7c for a week now and I see the following tendency - every 12 hours or so the rig freezes and stops mining, the cards go in idle state and I have to make a hard reset in order to restart the machine.
For the last 5 days this has happened around 5 times. What may be causing this issue? Anyone else with the same problem?
    Obviously this is not DAG generation related as it happens too often, so we will need some logs to make any suggestions.

When new version available? What are the best NVidia drivers/settings for the 1070 GPUs?
Regards
   The first beta of 2.8 should be released tomorrow. We found some regressions during the internal testing and we had to delay the release.

The -gt parameter is quite similar but not the same as -dcri. Replace -gt 110,44,110 with -dcri 110,44,110, which will force PhoenixMiner to try and approximate the GT values from the supplied -dcri values.
Any reason this isn't mentioned in readme? Why hide such beneficial (albeit experimental) thing?
    Well, we print a warning for each Claymore command-line argument that is not implemented by us, and we assume that if anyone is switching over from Claymore, they would try first with the same command-line options as they used before. However, for the new users it is best to use directly the -gt parameter as the approximation of -dcri is not ideal and may give some strange results in certain cases.

...Quadro K2100M..... with 2GB VRAM ...


.... However i have not yet run any Ethash based miner. I thought your's would be the first .... but no luck.

...

You can't mine ethereum with 2GB of RAM.  Current DAG already passed 2GB.  You can still mine newer coins with smaller DAG sizes though.

Hi there,

Being using Claymore and had a steady hash rate at 243.5 Mh/s. Switched to PhoenixMiner 2.7c but hash rate fluctuates between 239+ to 248+ Mh/s; pool report an average of 242.4 M/hs. Does anyone hash rate fluctuates or it is just me?
    We report the hashrate as (almost) unfiltered momentary value, which is exactly what the GPUs are giving at this time. You can also see the 5 minute average hashrate every 30 seconds or when you press the 's' key - this is much more stable and consistent value. As some people prefer more smoothed out values, we will probably add an option to set the amount of filtering.


Thank you for your explanation. Now I understand and I like the way it was implemented. Great job PhoenixMiner developers!
In the end you should consider what the pool reports as your hashrate and earnings. It's easy for any mining developer to obfuscate or in other ways present wrong numbers.

Yes, I did that and the result was PhoenixMiner does a little more shares. Initially I'm not sure why the fluctuation therefore curious to find out.

I have a weird thing, when mining PIRL I have 29mh/s but when I try to mine ETH Im getting 18mh/s. I tried ethermine and nanopool but nothing changed. Anyone got an idea ? I should get the same speed since its the same algorithm right ?
    If you have an AMD GPU(s), most probably you have old drivers or haven't switched the driver in compute mode. PIRL has a low DAG epoch (less than 40), while ETH is at 175 already. The driver must be in compute mode in order to avoid losing hasrate with higher DAG epochs.



I have the blockchain drivers from august, I will try the latest ones with compute mode thanks.

would it be possible to get a fresh compiled version straight from the owen, or is it possible to get the source code so i can compile myself?
i need a fresh version because i allways get problems with precompiled binaries and AV.
Maybe I missed something.
Are you asking Phoenix to give you their source code so you can compile it ?

Phoenix team can you make ASM kernel for rx 560 (baffin) ? Miner is considerably slower than claymore...

thanks

Hi Guys.
i am very happy with Phoenix Miner so far but i am having strange issue with Afterburner...i have Rx570 and 580 in my rig and in total 8 cards installed.Afterburner works perfect with old blockchain driver but when i installed latest adrenalin driver afterburner wont recognize my cards at all.all cards are good in windows device manager.Any advise?

It’s been my experience that afterburner doesn’t work very well with RX cards in general. My advice is to use a different method of overclocking. Use the built in commands of Pheonix instead.

Agree, I just use afterburner with nvidia cards, for amd I use OverdriveNTool, it works very nice!!


@PhoenixMiner
DevRequest: Forget about Dual mining on any other coin but XVG!!!!! PLEASE! Implement one of the multiple algoritms that Verge supports (Scrypt, X17, Lyra2rev2, myr-groestl, blake2s), you got options! Pretty please!!!

@kkanoee which card is it?  Most likely you've some settings messed up

RX580 8G Armor. some settings in the bat file you mean ?

So far so good...

I have double digit rigs with different card setups, I have not tried Phoenix Miner on any of those yet.  However I did try it on my test single GPU test machine.  It is right now a solo GTX 1070.  It was getting 29 to 30 mhs consistently at 62C on Claymore 11.2, rarely get stale shares with this card.

I started testing Phoenix Miner an hour ago.  I am getting 30 to 31 mhs.  It seems stable, same 62C.  However it seems my Effective speed is lower with Phoenix Miner at ethmine.   Then I noticed that in the short DEVFEE transition, it found 2 shares for the Devs while in the first 30 minutes it found just 6 for me.  So my effective rate(the actual rate measured by how many shares I find) at the pool is still 22.71 mh/s, but after a couple hours I will see if it catches up.  With Claymore my effective hash rate is pretty close and sometimes more than reported hash rate at the actual pool.

Overall it seems stable and if this small 0.5 mhs difference in speed on this one card is legit AND the dev fee is really legit then this looks like a possible better alternative to Claymore.
