So any thoughts on why using Anydesk or Teamviewer might increase hashrate significantly???
Evidently others in different coin threads and miners have noticed this too , however I am using Nvidia , this particular topic is about AMD
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2256917.400Try setting the --set-work-batch setting to 8 or higher. It has worked for me and a few others. Some have reported no change though so YMMV.
Helped even things out across 3 gpus, but they are smaller gpus, 1050+ 2x 980's. And hash was still less than havy Anydesk connected.
Did not help on 1080ti's made things worse.
I have played with a ton of settings, I really cannot figure what it is that Anydesk would be invoking that would cause this.
I even added the exe file to my Nvidia control panel as a controlled program with maximum performance settings.
I'll keep at it but I'll try any other suggestions out there.... I run multiple rigs and it is not feasible for me to keep an anydesk window open for each, however the difference in hashrate makes it significant
From what others have explained, it has something to do with Windows reducing the gpu and cpu performance when it detects that there's no display being used. Someone has also suggested playing a long youtube video and putting it on replay to trick Windows.
I also read someone with multiple rigs basically having a teamviewer session from one rig to the other and vice versa, you could try that.
