Re: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

The new beta version is ready. It is mostly a bugfix release, the more significant upgrades are coming next month. You can download PhoenixMiner 6.3b from here:

PhoenixMiner_6.3b_Windows.zip
PhoenixMiner_6.3b_Linux.tar.gz

The new features in this release are:

  • Full LHR disable mode -lhrdis <n>  1 - yes (default), 0 - no

  • RTX 3060 LHR       ~ 50 MH/s
  • RTX 3060 Ti LHR       ~ 60 MH/s
  • RTX 3070 LHR       ~ 60 MH/s
  • RTX 3070 Ti LHR       ~ 81 MH/s
  • RTX 3080 10GB LHR   ~ 98 MH/s
  • RTX 3080 Ti LHR       ~ 120 MH/s

  • Dual mining TON

  • Fixed an issue with expired SSL certificate that led to "certificate verify failed" errors when connecting to some pools (notably Ethermine) when using SSL connections
  • Show the GPU vendor name in the list of GPUs to make it easier to identify the GPUs
  • Added support for the latest AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1. There are some bugs in these drivers, particularly the clocks and voltages can't be set properly with older
    cards (RX4x0/RX5x0/Vega/RadeonVII)
  • Validated support for the latest AMD Windows drivers up to 21.11.2
  • Fixed issues with AMD RX6700XT cards with the latest AMD and Linux drivers
  • Fixed issues with AMD Vega and Radeon VII cards on latest Windows and Linux drivers
  • Fixed crash with very old Nvidia drivers (3xx.x)
  • Other fixes and small improvements

Known issues (driver incompatibilities, etc.) and workarounds:

If you are using Linux drivers 21.40.1 with Radeon VII cards, you need to add the option -fpwm 1 in order to have proper fan control.
AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1 has finally removed the requirement of PCIe atomics but there are problems when you try to mix Polaris (RX4x0/5x0) cards and Vega or newer cards on the same rig.
Some Nvidia cards will report a lot of stale shares under Windows 11. Using the same driver version under Windows 10 resolves the issue.

5970 (drivers) crashing after a few hours?
by
humanage
on 16/08/2012, 23:17:28 UTC
I have a dual 5970 mining rig, and I use CGminer. I use 800mhz core and 267mhz memory. I don't know what on earth could be the problem... My GPU core temps don't go over 80c and VRMs don't go past 110c.


When I witness the crashing, I notice that the ATI driver goes first, and then CGminer crashes.

I would recommend you use these pools because of their fair payout systems (DGM or PPLNS) that cannot be hopped and because they do not have a mandatory fee.

So they're better than PPS or Score based?  Cheesy

Edit: ozco.in seems to have a 5% fee on PPS.

What's the best pool right now?

BTC Guild does pay per share, which is very profitable, but they charge a 5% fee. Slush's Pool only charges 2%, but lacks some features. I want to hear what you guys think on the topic.  Smiley

Thanks for the quick response! I'm on Windows 7 with 11.4. I might just switch to Linux as recently people have been reporting higher hashrates with it.

Edit: I just tried mining without the dummy plug, everything is well, time to try without the monitor.

I have 2 5970s on my mining rig, one is using a monitor and one is using a dummy plug. If I removed the monitor, would anything happen? I want to use the monitor for another computer, but don't know what to do. Should I leave it, get a dummy plug, or just unplug the monitor?

That's my fee for turning your BTC into cash, but I see your point. How's 3 BTC. BTC is under the $5 value.

Is Bitcoin really the only way to make using your computer's power? Folding @ Home is sorta like it, but it's a charity thing with no profit(I guess you can count pride though). Has anyone seen something like Bitcoin mining before?

Re: 6870 and 5970 on 750 Watt PSU?
by

Provided you don't waste power by e.g. by CPU mining Litecoins, easily.
A 5970 shouldn't pull more than 250 W with its memory underclocked.
With 120 W for the rest of the system, the PSU load would be 82,7% - not unreasonable for a high quality PSU such as the ZT 750W.

Make sure that the CPU power save options (such as SpeedStep or C1E) are enabled in the BIOS.

Okay, so I got my 2nd 5970 today, running both @ 820MHz Core/300MHz Memory with the CPU having power savings enabled. No problem with my OCZ ZT 750 Watt handling this, getting 1400mh/s.

Re: Bitcoin USD value 6 months from now?

I'm guessing $7-$11. After the drop in the last few weeks I was worried, but it's going back up at a steady rate this week. Cheesy Anyways, I'll keep mining no matter the price as I pay a fixed power bill. Also, it might go over $10 in Q3 2012 due to the expected block drop from 50 to 25 BTC, this will cause some people to stop mining, lowering the supply, but the demand will be the same so... $$$ Cheesy

Self bump. Would my OCZ 750w actually be able to push 2x 5970s at 820MHz Core/300MHz memory? Just confirming.

Just curious, so post the miner you are using. Smiley
I'm on CGMiner with a 5970(820MHz/300MHz) and a 6870(1020/2370).
Currently getting around 1050MH/s.

cgminer but getting no where close to your number Smiley
