Re: PhoenixMiner 5.1c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

I know, new card and driver but I got many invalid shares in connection with Nicehash on my new RX 6800.
At the moment no OC and anyone else optimizings active. Seems to be a problem with the many new DAG generation within the mining process.

"Normal" ETC and ETH mining runs properly, but with very fluctuating (56-60Mhs) hashrate!


I would first update driver to a version that supports the 6000 series. 20.11 seems to be old isnt it?
Roll Eyes, that is the newest driver from AMD.
Also with 5.2e still invalid shares (only) on Nicehash!
