Have a stupid question but ask - GTX Titan 6Gb can mine anything at the moment?

Well the card was made in 2013 and is barely faster than a GTX970 so its not going to be a great miner. Power usage is probably very high as well. An R9 390 is actually faster than this card.

miner29, Thank you 4 support. There was one moment with ethminer - in some period it change reported hashrate from 0.8-1MH to 16.5MH, so... looks like it can mine eth, but ethminer have no parameter to set algo and as result it mine something wrong from pool. Anyway it's offtop and other questions are to ethminer dev.
Last question: why ethminer can and phoenix can't? May be I just not found right parameters for subj?

Most mining software has dropped support for very old cards where it just isnt reasonable to expect miners to use. Ethminer is opensource and supports just about all cards. There just arent very many Titan 6gb these days.

anyone having issues with RX 6800??

My 6800 Fighter is constantly fluctuating between 40 and 62mhs, from 100w to 180w, regardless of what settings I input in radeon wattman.
But I dont know if its a compatibility issue, since I have all kind of cards in my rig (2x3080, 3070, 5700xt, 1080ti, 6800) and the Fighter is my main card( the one giving signal to the monitor)
Anyone else experiencing same issue?

I have noticed that Radeon 21.2.1 that I get driver crashes with PhoenixMiner. 21.2.2 and 21.2.3 helped reduce the number of "Driver not responding" warnings where the driver recovers, but that would explain some of the issue. 21.3.1 has been confirmed to not work with PhoenixMiner and a fix is expected in the next version(but no ETA has been stated yet).

Now, because you are using different video cards in the same system, there COULD be some issue with cards not cooperating with each other and confusing the miner. You may want to make sure that for RDNA 2 cards that you don't have any other Radeon cards in the same machine for testing purposes, because something strange may be happening at the driver level.

Note that I am fairly new to mining, and am very small scale(single GPU system), but I also have a PowerColor Fighter 6800, and while it works well with 21.1.1, I've seen the problems with the newer drivers. If my single GPU rig has driver problems, at least that isolates the source of problems. As I mentioned, Radeon Software 21.1.1 will be your best bet for use with PhoenixMiner.

Not sure about the RX6800 but radeon drivers 20.11.2 have been very stable for me. I tried to update and immediately got crashes.

Use DDU tu uninstall the old drivers, then install 21.2.3, best drivers so far (I own a 6800 too).

take a look at these articles maybe they will shed some light on your low speeds.

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/14669/howto-efficient-mining-ether-with-nvidia-gpu-windows-10-uptodate-drivers
https://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/nvidia-smi/

Edit,,, spec wise these arent far off from gtx 1080.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080.c2839
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-titan.c1996#:~:text=NVIDIA%20has%20paired%206%20GB,MHz%20(6%20Gbps%20effective).

where you may run into trouble is the memory controllers. that may be the bottleneck in your card. I think 2mhs is very low considering the power that card has. has to be some older members that can give light on running that card.

Tnx. I will check the data and the logfiles.
When I run the miner in the console as far as I know it always starts with the card names.. (which GPU are found for mining) In this list it shows 6 times the same (type) cards RX 580

I even had fitted the RX 5700 as a single available GPU, but then I get the miner error "NO GPU for mining"

Is there any known hardware limit for getting the RX 5700 XT's to work in Phoenixminer, e.g. minimum of RAM used, or anything else, which we might have overlooked?
The rig is fitted with only 4 Gb RAM. (We use the Asrock H110 BTC Pro+ mobo)

Perhaps the driver version may be the issue. Do not use the latest AMD Linux drivers for anything other than RX6000 AMD cards.

Well we tried a different (lower version) driver but then we had to change the kernel and still it didnt want to see the 5700 and the additions in the setting didnot seem to work, so this morning I changed to Win10 and we did see all the different cards.. and even the card settings in the confiig file (the RX*580:1160) did work. But we had the 21.1.1 drivers installed and it was not stable. So I uninstalled these and installed the 20.11.
and forced the compute mode via the AMD driver software, but I do not get it stable after a few minutes I get black screens and AMD report of a driver issue and then it all stops???

Probably one of the cards is unable to run at the clocks and voltages that are set. Check the log to see if the proper clocks and voltages are applied to each card - if there is a mix-up and the setting for 5700XT is applied to one of the Polaris cards, or vice versa, it may lead to almost instant crash. The last resort is to check the cards one by one using the -gpus command-line option. If all are running fine by themselves, you may have issues with your power supply, or the cables to the extenders.

After a while I have found the problem... SATA power for the risers... is not a good combo.. So after changing those the rig was stable..
Now with replacing some of the cards for newer ones we have new challenges... ;-) Thanks for the support.. really appreciated.
