Were there any perfomance upgrades in v11.8 since v11.5? is it worth upgrading?

Im on GTX1060's

Return question - WHY?
Why upgrade or update windows? especialy on mining rig? It works good - leave it as it is!
Updates wont give you hasgrate increase. Honestly speaking you wont see any difference at all. You have about 70% of seeng new problems instead of any improvements..


Trying Clay 10.2 will see how it goes. 10.1 was highly unstable and unusable..



Benchmark is not the same as real minig. it will never have the same result.
Also as far as I remember you have to specify difficulty or epoch for benchmark.
In your case it looks like you are starting benchmark with a lower difficulty than it is at the moment in real mining

I got i5 2500

With 3.5 beta i get  up to 208H\s
And it shows pool diff as 50 000 (dwarfpool)

with 3.7 and 3.8 i get max up to 108H\s
And it shows pool diff as 20 000 (dwarfpool)

why is it so?
these are the setting I use:
-o stratum+tcp://xmr-eu.dwarfpool.com:8005
-u 4JUdGzvrMFDWrUUwY3toJATSeNwjn54LkCnKBPRzDuhzi5vSepHfUckJNxRL2gjkNrSqtCoRUrEDAgR wsQvVCjZbRvVs9vWzizq1q1KQyV.Work
-p x
-t 4 (usualy have "-t 3" because there is no difference in hash rate but system starts lagging noticably with all cores loaded)

Also a tryed it on i7 3630Q and i get around same 110H\s with 3.7 and 3.8 miner.

I have found v10.1 version to be highly unstable.
Every day i get all GPU complete failure (all 4 gpu lost by system) I even lowered OC that on 9.8 could work for 3 weeks with no fails.

Now using v10. at the moment it has been 2 days. and it seems to be ok, well better than 10.1

Can anybody help me out with  Claymore setup, with restart option?
Some times i chech my rig and it is on standby. Miner is closed. In logs it is trying to reach pool but after 2-3 tryes it just closes because cannot reach pool.

So these Are my parameters in v10.1
i use config file insted of start.bat for settings.

So this is config file:

-epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal 0x15bc7702a8ed2710544e5e6c2e85cf2edd335938
-epsw x
-ethi 16
-mode 1
-tstop 70
-wd 1
-r >60
-mport 0

this is epool file:

 POOL: eu1.ethermine.org:14444, WALLET: 0x5704af0e1da22632410254948fd0c794037f3ccb, PSW: x, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 0

I need miner to:
1) Restart incase any problems.
2) switch to epools file for alternative pool adress.

Looks like im missing something. I cant understand how to set it up. I read Readme dozens of times still cant make it work.

I Got 4 1060 6gb Aorus with samsungs.

I was beating about 3 weeks with strange instabilty wit h my rig. It works OK then BAM! cpu gets loaded up to 80-90% and hash rate drops. Cards seemed ok.
I reinstalled win 7 and win 10 dozens of times. tryed dozens of drves versions and settings.

The problem was EASY - too much overclock!
If you are used to artifacts and freezes due to ooverclock - so in in mining it is strange instabilty. First  sign is MSI AB or any system proces start to use 60-80% of CPU even if miner is stoped! Reboot and lower OC by 5 pints  backwards. watch your rig again until it is stable. then do another -5 and this is you stable OC.

Second sign of GPU error - fan speed in Claymore i 0% i logs.


And dont OC the CORE. ETH needs only Memory OC. Core can be undeclocked for coolnes..

I got 50% power limit, -200 core, +765 Memory. I get 98.2mh by x4 GTX1060 rig power consumtion it 472wh!

-ethi 16 -dcri 15 Gives 94.2 Eth + 471 Dcr
-ethi 16 -dcri 30 Gives 92.5 Eth + 925 Dcr


My electricity cost is $0.03 per kWh
Power Consumption is the same with ETH only and ETH + DCR = 473Wh  ( On ZEC it raises up to 525Wh)

Hello everyone!
I got x4 1060 6G  with pentium 4400 cpu

Im sorry if my question is dumb but i saw an update today (been using 9.8 before) and decided to update my miner.

Features states: - Supports new "dual mining" mode: mining both Ethereum and Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal at the same time, with no impact on Ethereum mining speed. Ethereum-only mining mode is supported as well.

I tryed it and when i mine ETH+DCR i get ETH hashrate drop.

ETH only i have 98mh\s on a rig
ETH + DCR (- decri 5 as lowest) i get 94.7 mhs + 159 h/s

So eth still drops as before. Is it supposed to be so and i understood a feature wrong or im doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
