Hi all,

I'm having a really strange issue with WinMiner.

When running the benchmark it reports that I'm getting 12-14GPB per day. However when it actually starts mining (on the same coins that the benchmark gives that GBP value) it drops to 8-10 GBP per day.

Looking at the dashboard/application I can see that the culprit is the Radeon R295x2 that I've got running. The hashrate drops through the floor when the benchmark has completed and it starts to 'live mine'.

Would anyone have any ideas what would be causing this?

Thanks

From my experience with WinMiner, when you see the hashrate drop post benchmark on a set of cards its normally due to the miner that WinMineer chooses. Since version 1.94 it's had a bad rep for choosing the wrong pairing when dual mining. Check your command log and see what miner it's using. If it's the ClaymoreDualEthBlake70 or 100 miner, disable it and the program will choose the other dual miner which will in most cases improve your hashrate and profitability.

The two mentioned miners have the secondary coin option defaulted to -i 70 and -i 100. The other miners have it defaulted to -i 30 which will yield better results in most situations.
