Re: PhoenixMiner 2.5d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)

Please use a batch file to start the miner with the following contents (the important part are the setx statements to set the environment variables):
Code:
Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Still the same problem. Occurs on different GPU, sometimes on 2 simultaneously.
Please try using the command line option -mi with different values (for example 8, or 9 instead of the default value of 10). You can change it only for the RX560s by using it like this:
Didn't change much, still dropping hashrate. Code:
-mi 8,8,10,10,10
In the above example the first two cards will run with mining intensity 8, and the other three - with mining intensity 10. This assumes that the RX560s are the first and the second card and you have five cards in the rig. The order of the cards must be the same that is listed by PhoenixMiner when starting up.It probably isn't worth pushing back the linux version for dual mining capability. The Chinese released ASIC for Lbry, Pascal, Sia, and Decred so there isn't any point in dual mining anymore. If someone develops algos that play well with ethash in the future you'd probably need to start building from scratch anyways. The other tweaks are pretty sweet but once you get that linux version up an running talk to the ethOS guys an get them to incorporate your miner in their OS. I got 2 rigs on ethOS linux with 10 cards an 12 cards cuz windows don't play well with a lot of gpus on a single rig.. given the new mining boards coming out that can house 12+ gpus i think windows mining is going to be getting phased out by people running larger farms which i'm guessing is more your bread an butter target market. I'm running your miner on my desktop with 4 gpus an already wish the linux version was available for my other rigs. Faster hash rate, less fees, no dag switches. I get what you're saying about the dag switches I haven't watched enough to see the dev mining fee to see if my cards still have to spin up an i'm only running this on my small system anyways so even if i could see it it wouldn't be nearly as obvious as my other systems with 3x-4x as many cards. I skimmed the commands an i don't recall seeing a feature similar to -powlim from claymore. That would be a good feature to have so you can tweak power consumption. I'm not a pro or anything but I noticed that my cards will run at say 30mh/s with powerlimit 20.. but if I lower powerlimit it will drop total power consumption without decreasing hashrate or stability so the cards will just use whatever power they can for the most part. It would be nice to have the feature incorporated in the miner so we don't have to go around reflashing cards to find the sweet spot using powerlimit % / tdp in bios.
We'll try to release the dual mining as fast as we can because we are already invested a lot of time in it. The Linux support definitely is very important but given that there isn't one "true" Linux and a multitude of (AMD) drivers, it would take even more resources than the dual mining. The (probably flawed) rationale is that the dual mining window is closing fast, so if we don't release it soon, it becomes pointless. The Linux support will be useful a lot longer. We are going to implement all (or at least most) of the hardware control features that are present in Claymore dual miner. They will gradually start to appear from version 2.7. Right now we are chasing a few elusive bugs that some of the miners are experiencing.
So sad, almost want to cry...
So 2.5 came and went, 2.6 is here but no solo geth|parity mining.../frowny face & upset tummy.
I think I am the only person asking for it, so not surprised. But will I be surprised with 2.7b?!?
The good news is that there are other requests for solo mining So 2.5 came and went, 2.6 is here but no solo geth|parity mining.../frowny face & upset tummy.
I think I am the only person asking for it, so not surprised. But will I be surprised with 2.7b?!?
No promises but there might be an experimental support for it in 2.7.A question to the DEV - How may I undervolt with this miner? It's drawing 200W more than the Claymore's? I am scared to use undervolting from TRIXX, because my rig freezes if I touch something there 
I am using it only to set my fans speed. Are you planning on implementing the -cclock -mclock -cvddc etc etc?
Really happy with the miner so far!
There is no support for hardware control (fan speed, clocks, voltages) in the current version. We are going to add them gradually over the next few versions. For now use whatever over-clocking tool you feel most comfortable with - MSI Afterburner, OverdriveNTool, Wattman, etc. I am using it only to set my fans speed.
