The new beta version is finally ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.6a from here:

PhoenixMiner_5.6a_Windows.zip (GitHub)
PhoenixMiner_5.6a_Linux.tar.gz (GitHub)

To check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes (you need the last file PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip only if you want to mine BCI with Nvdia cards under Windows):

The new features in this release are:

  • Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
  • Increase the max supported DAG epoch to 550 (should be enough to about Jan 2023)
  • Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards
  • The specific hashrate is now shown in the form of kilo hashes per joule (kH/J). Example: if a GPU has hashrate of 30 MH/s with 100W power usage, the specific hashrate is 300 kH/J
  • Added new command-line parameters -ttj and -ttmem, allowing automatic fan speed control based on GPU hotspot (junction), and memory temperatures respectively. Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. These parameters can be combined with -tt, as well as with each other. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
  • Added new command-line parameters -tmaxj and -tmaxmem, allowing to decrease the GPU usage when the GPU hotspot (junction), or GPU memory temperatures are above the specified thresholds. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
  • Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
  • Added support for AMD Linux drivers 20.50.x. Use this drivers only if you have Polaris or older GPUs, or the latest RX6x000 GPUs. WARNING: Vega, Radeon VII, and Navi GPUs won't work with these drivers!
  • Turn off the zero fan feature on AMD cards whenever a fixed fan speed is used (e.g. -tt -40), or when an auto fan with min fan speed is used (e.g. -tt 63 -minfan 35). To disable this feature, add -fanstop 1 command-line parameter
  • When -mcdag 1 is specified under Linux, the miner will not wait for the daggen.sh script to finish before starting to generate the DAGs. Instead it will for a fixed 7 seconds. This allows you to do all the following in the daggen.sh: turn off the overclocking of Nvidia GPUs, sleep for 30-60 seconds to allow time for DAG generation, and then re-apply the overclocking of the Nvidia GPUs
  • Other small improvements and fixes

The support for -ttj, -ttmem, -tmaxj, and -tmaxmem for Nvidia 3090 and 3080 GPUs is not yet ready for release. We hope to have it ready for the final 5.6 release.

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869. Here are the signatures for the files in this release:


Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.6a.

Bug: No temps in on Nvidia cards in Windows driver 461.92

The wording for option mcdag 1 seemed to have changed.

Original says the following: “ Under Linux -mcdag 1 will execute provided by the user shell script named daggen.sh (if present in the current directory) for each Nvidia GPU, passing the GPU index as the first argument, and PCIE bus ID as second argument. The miner will then wait for about 7 seconds before starting DAG generation to allow the script enough time to reset the memory overclock.” Bad wording on 5.6a or change in how things work?

Both v 20 and v20.1 seem to produce a lot of stale share…at one point 20.1 was producing 49 stale shares. Dropping back down to v19…if that doesn’t fix the issue, I am going back to Phoenix.

Hello,

Running PhoenixMiner / Windows 10 with 12 Nvidia Cards is running fine, but when adding the 13th Card, I got an "Out of Memory" Error. Adding extra RAM or enlarging Swap File doesn't help. Using different RTX and GTX Card, always the same.

Is this a hard limit, or is there a way to work around this?

Thanks for help!

You should really be running HiveOS at this point.

Why is v5.5c mining slower than v5.4c? I lose a minimum of 5 Mh/s with v5.5c and HiveOS.

If you are not using HiveOS, do yourself a favor and use it. Much more stable than using Windows.

Are you guys using PhoenixMiner or MSI afterburner for overclocking RTX3060 TI, RTX3070 and RTX3080?

Kind Regards

I use MSI Afterburner with my 1070s and 3080s. Overclocking through the Phoenix miner seems to be broken.

I used Claymore/Nanopool for almost 2 years. Recently switched to Phoenix/Ethermine and saw a 9% increase in mining speed. This was measured not by Mh/s, but by the timeframe of payouts. Phoenix is BY FAR the more stable and better performance miner.

I’m running 7x 1070s on Win 10 (1903) without any memory problems. 4.5c is rock-solid for me.

I don’t run DCH drivers. Currently running latest Nvidia driver with 7x1070s, memory overclocked +600, 80% power. Hashing at an average of 33.4 Mhs per card.

Have anyone else seen performance degradation using the latest (431.60) DCH driver for GTX 1070 (Or any DCH driver)?

I'm barly getting over 30 Mhs and have to increase power.

Having issue with 4gb Nvidia cards in windows not having enough memory to create the DAG. Its not a virtual memory error

I’m running 7x Nvidia 1070s...rock solid at currently 100 hours. What is your virtual memory size?

Is there a -minspeed option in the PhoenixMiner to set a minimum mining speed before the miner automatically reboots? One my cards dropped out and lowered my hash rate with no user notification or automatic miner/system action taken to fix it.

my tests Claymore v14.4
1050 Ti ~ 17.7 strap 5
1060 6Gb ~ 26.5 to 27.6 strap 1 (depends on card)
1070 ~ 33.5 to 34.7 strap 1 (depends on card)
1080 ~ 44.3 strap 2 (without pill)


My memory-overclocked, Samsung/Micron-mix of 1070s run at 33Mh/s per GPU without straps. Are straps going to increase that hash rate substantially?

Does overclocking memory and decreasing power work with NVIDIA straps?
