Having problem with 1060 3gb and buffer (I have 25gb of pagefile). Im back to claymore (using -eres 0).
I will wait a fix in phoenix..
   You can use -eres 0 with PhoenixMiner too. However this is only a temporary solution - in a few weeks you will have to switch to Windows 7 or other OS that doesn't hog the GPU memory like Windows 10 does.

cvddc and mvddc do not work for AMD blockchain drivers 23 august 2017, claymore does, can you make it to work on your miner? Also, claymore stale shares are lower than your miner right now.
   This is a known issue and unfortunately we can't lose more time trying to fix it as in these drivers the ADL support is seriously broken. The OC settings should work properly in any of the new 18.x.x drivers. As for the stale shares, this should be solved in the new PhoenixMiner 2.8b.

Thanks for responding, that info is helpful.  I did actually notice that even on reboot, the hardware settings previously set in PM are still active.  But, like I said, I've been shutting down with a taskkill.  I will continue to experiment.  Considering that you specify a voltage in mV and not a mV offset I could not figure out the problem I'm seeing with super low voltages.  If I reset my GPU using MSI AB (I didn't know there was a -resetoc command) and I run PM with a undervolt, say 1050mV on the core.  It goes off and voltage looks good.  Then if I close (the wrong way, I know), the 1050mV core voltage persists, but I understand why now.  What is still a mystery, is that when I launch PM again, with the same 1050mV setting in my bat, then I see like 930mV in GPU-Z and I get artifacts leading to either driver crash or BSOD.  So I still can't figure that one out.  Again, this is on an R9 390 / Hawaii.

Regardless, thanks for the great attentiveness to user issues!
   There is no -resetoc option in the current release but it will be added in the final 2.8 (or in the first 2.9 if it prove challenging). We will investigate the issue further, using the same card as we were quite busy with the new AMD kernels.

2.8 crashes one of my rigs every 3-4 hours and needs manual intervention. Can’t really figure it out.
   Could you send us a log file from around the crash? Also, info about what card you are using and which drivers would be helpful.

Does the miner support Ethereum classic, can you provide list of supported coins?
   Yes, it does. You can see the list of supported coins on the first page of this thread under the possible values of the -coin command line option:

Code:
-coin Ethash coin to use for devfee to avoid switching DAGs:
     auto: Try to determine from the pool address (default)
     eth: Ethereum
     etc: Ethereum Classic
     exp: Expanse
     music: Musicoin
     ubq: UBIQ
     pirl: Pirl
     ella: Ellaism
     etp: Metaverse ETP
     pgc: Pegascoin
     akroma: Akroma
     whale: WhaleCoin
     vic: Victorium
