hello,
the new Feature -mcdag 1 doesn't work on my Gigabyte 3070.  using v.5.5c under win10. When i oc using afterburner before starting the miner, i will get only rejected shares after dag generation. If i dont oc befor starting the miner, the shares works fine even i oc after dag generation.
even when using -lidag 3
  If you are using external program to overclock the memory (MSI Afterburner in your case), there is no way for PhoenixMiner to control that program's behavior. So, in order to use -mcdag 1, you need to let PhoenixMiner to set your memory overclock (and turn off Afterburner). You can set the same settings that you were using in Aftrburner (e.g. -powlim -30 -mclock +800 -mcdag 1 will set power limit to 70%, will overclock the memory by 800 MHz, and will remove the memory overclock during the DAG generation to avoid corrupted DAG buffer.

   Note that the recent Nvidia drivers require PhoenixMiner.exe to be run as administrator in order to control the memory clocks.





If I set the  overclock by Phonexminer for RTX 3060   ,   and later change it with MSI afterburner, will the changes from afterburner take effect or they will reset back to the script again?

Meaning will the script of phonexminer set the overclock once at the start or does it keep  setting it ?



for everyone having issues with   the RTX 3000 series I found this amazing program that automates everything

I set it to set the MSI overclock to low mem speed  then   run the phonexminer   wait a minute and then set the overclock on MSI to high mem speed, 
this way the DAG is already created
it also monitors the rig if it creates bunch of errors it will restrt to force the DAG creation again with slow mem ...

Runnig RTX 3060 ti with  stable 62MHs
