Thx for the new version.

You have added 2 new tuning param in last 2 versions:

Bralock
fragments

Can you pls help us as to the nature of the tuning ,its effects and sort of recommended values for vega cards.
This will help us fine tune our cards better.

Thx dude !! Cheesy

Fragments -> my tests show it can REALLY be different for even the same type of GPU, but different vendor.

So i can't give you a recommended setting for a vega, sorry. For my Gigabyte 56 with hynix mem the winner value is 4 for v8, and 1 for everything else.

Bralock -> this is something similar as worksize, you will also need to experiment with the values

Hmm, k dude.

The miner shows fragments of 4 as defaults on my vega.

Testing other fragments also generates the same 4, doesnt change to 8 or 2 etc.
My config file:

Code:

{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv8",

"intensity" : 124,
"worksize" : 16,
"double_threads" : true,
"fragments" : 64,
"shutdown_temperature" : 80,

"timeout" : 5,
"retry_time" : 5,
"giveup_limit" : 5,
"main_pool_reconnect" : 300,

"min_rig_speed" : 11850,
"min_rig_speed_duration" : 250
}

V1.6.9
- Algo switching without miner restart
- Benchmark everything from algos.txt and just paste the hashrates (--benchmarkalgos)
- Added number of algo switches to API and stats
- Added cmd parameter --resetmineronalgoswitch which forces miner to reset on algo change
- Changed minimum --algoswitchmintime from 3 min to 30 sec, default is still 600 sec
- Fixed API pool stats when not connected to a pool
- Added cmd parameters --cjobtimeout, --cmaxdifficulty, --ckeepalive
- When critical temp is reached, ADL temp is now logged before shutdown
- Notification on too many compute errors (set with --gpuerrorsalert value)
- Added a performance tuning parameter 'fragments' for gpu_conf and cmd
- Fixed a bug that could crash miner on shutdown

+ Algo switch without miner restart is here finally. This is now the default mode. If you want to use the 'old fashioned' switch where the miner restarts itself use --resetmineronalgoswitch in .bat.
The only reason i can see to use the switching with restart is for Vegas, because they tend to drop hashrate on algo switch, and only --resetvega can help to regain full speed again.
Check out here how to setup algo switching

+ Some people were too lazy to benchmark algo by algo to get the 'hashrate' values for algos.txt, so there is a --benchmarkalgos now , that benchmarks the algos set in algos.txt, and creates benchmark_results.txt, from where you just have to take and paste the values into algos.txt

+ The --algoswitchmintime minimum value can now be 30 seconds, altough Monero Ocean really likes to disregard this setting

+ There is on-screen and log notification now when you have too much compute errors (default is 15). You can set this value with --gpuerrorsalert value

+ (re)added fragments parameter for some performance tuning. This parameter was set internally, but my tests show it can REALLY be different for even the same type of GPU, but different vendor.
So now everyone can find his 'optimal' value for this parameter. It differs for algos and also for the amount of VRAM, so a value that is good for 4GB cards maybe isn't the best value for 8GB cards.

thx for check Wink

but why in my log miner will do first a restart ?

can you share your reboot me .bat ?

thx !

It could be anything in the .bat, as long as miner runs it

I just had something echoed for the test.

If the miner is stuck when trying to reatart itself, and your rig can't restart either from windows, it means ypu gpu hard crashed and nothing can save it except haed reset of the pc (removing the power). Try to reduce overclock settings for that card

Hi all - how do I set the miner to use only 1 or 2 of my GPU's?

I tried setting gpuid is BAT file and setting gpuid in config in "config-normalv8.txt" but it always mines on ALL GPU's.

What am I missing ?

Thanks.

Please help. I have one Vega56 and one RX580-8G. Got the following error when running SRBMinber 1.6.8. Tried different drivers (18.5.1, 18.5.2, 18.6.1), DDU clean install every time. Also tried the default kernel and compiled kernel. One wired thing I noticed is that the miner recognizes my RX580 as "Radeon RX Vega [ellesmere]". The miner is working properly only when I use one card at a time to hash with fresh compiled kernel.

Open a command prompt and run clinfo, let's see what does it say, how does it recognise your cards.

Also guys, please don't send me PM's without reading the first page of this thread, because 90% of your questions is answered there. I really don't have time to answer everyone separately.
And don't send me PM's asking what intensity should you use, and why does your GPU crashes. Please take some time and read back, everything is answered in this thread.

For me this error had to do with my iGPU. Oddly when I had it disabled the miner would insta-close but when I enabled my igpu the miner worked fine. In fact the miner working better than ever before. Using 18.6.1 drivers, 1 rx 580 and 2 vega 64s.

If I wana try Nicehash what is the command to put it in nicehash mode and in what bat file do i put it in?

And also how do I turn off sending stale shares since my pool rejects them anyway why bother sending them.

Hi

What can I expect from RX580 4gb samsung on Bittubev2 algo?

I have it running on Rx570 4gb hynix single thread intensity 60, 6 card rig around 4580h/s

It looks I can't pass that on my rx580 nitro+
