Hi guys,
Sorry to bring this up, but I have been testing PhoenixMiner vs. Claymore's tonight and the (preliminary) results are not in favor of Claymore...

I have a small test rig (Win10, latest amd drivers, 3x RX 570 4Gb modded bios) just to test latest drivers, miners etc before loading on to my other rigs.

I have mined with the following batch files:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0xAddress.RigName -proto 3 -tt 65 -tstop 80 -tstart 60 -fanmin 80 -fanmax 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xAddress.RigName -epsw x -platform 1 -etha 0 -eres 1 -gser 2 -r 1 -mport 0 -cvddc 980 -tt 65 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 100 -ttli 75 -tstop 78 -ethi 20 -etht 20 -cclock 1150 -mclock 2090

Reason for the test was I was getting big difference between reported and current hashrate at ethermine. Stale shares are always around 2-5%.

What I see now after one hour mining with Phoenix, is this:


Whats happening?


It looks like you're seeing the effect of the command lines working somewhat differently between the two programs.  Claymore is obviously only running one card.  I see you are mostly only supplying parameters for one card on the Claymore command line.  For example -cvddc 980 instead of -cvddc 980,980,980 ... etc.  I don't think you have to do it that way but it always helps remind me that I'm working with multiple cards.
