Hello,

I use a Rig with Windows 10 update 20H2. 2 x AMD and 2x Nvidia Cards.
The AMD RX 570/580 with 8gb VRAM. But Phoenix Miner shows only 6,4gb VRAM.

Thanks.

update your amd driver to 20.11.2. I am on the same version of windows and that driver version works fine. Also update your miner to 5.4.c. Try the miner update first and then the driver next.

Hi all,
I'm extremely new to mining and decided to start using my rtx 3080 during downtime to mine some Ethereum. I started with phoenixminer and had everything running great for the past 4 days. I decided to update my Nvidia drivers since they stated their were critical security flaws in the current. After updating phoenix miner no longer works. I click on start_miner and it just says "access is denied". Im using sparkpool for my pool and mycrypto for wallet. I have tried everything from changing pools completely to changing to a secondary wallet address and even rolling back my drivers. Nothing is working. Does anyone have some insight or help for this? Its very discouraging just getting into this to have no idea how to fix it?
Thanks

Did you already try right clicking Phonerminer.exe and select "run as administrator"?

I have that problem, virtual memory in 40.000.

Try to add -gser 2


SAME BRO, same problem

you need to find the optimal value for the -gser command for your gpus.
Example:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999 -wal wallet.rig -gser 2

or

Perhaps your drivers have been automatically updated. You need to roll back the drivers to the version on which the program works stably.

In config.txt add:

-rvram -1

And add more virtual memory in windows 16 to 32Go, Me for 6 * RX580 i have 65635Mo virtual memory for no problem



Same but i saw this: GPU4: DAG  22%

Same problem, delete all and paste what you write and same vram problem, today was working fine, i did not update nothing and stop mining

go back and read few post, I had same problem post #7311 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56049534#msg56049534 )
Also, windows 20.4 with PM 5.4c and AMD 20.11.2 working nice

+merit if solved Smiley

Got the same problem today.
On 3 miners.
2 miners with Rx580's and a 3rd one with Vegas.
All of them showing the same not enough vram and gpu1 error.
I updated to the latest edition of phoenix but its still the same..
Could this be a drivers or windows update issue?

What do these commands return on your system?

Hi, you don't seem to have the Modified Bios on your cards, maybe that's what you need. If you already have it modified, you can try to reinstall it and do the tests

i had bios flashed the rx580's back to stock with atiflash. and was using Radeon software to adjust the timings cvddc 853 cclock 1165 mvddc 853 mclock 2080. i was doing this on claymore and had 31+ hash.
I must have missed this part with phoenixminer to mod the bios.
could you tell me what program i am suppose to use for modding the bios?
Thanks for responding before

PolarisBiosEditor1.7.4 allows you to modify a bios file and save it and then use
atiflash_293 to flash your bios.

Make sure you save the original bios before flashing the new one in case you need to revert.

This version the gui would not work for me on windows so i used the command line to run the flashing and saving.

I thought using Amd's Radeon software to manually adjust the GPU timings was the same as bios flashing the GPU??
It might be, not sure what timings you are referring to in the radeon software. I usually change voltage and clock using radeon, but the timing straps is what I change using polaris and then flash it to the gpu bios. if there is another way to do the straps in radeon, i didn't know.
This is my timings I set on Radeon software
cvddc 853 cclock 1165 mvddc 853 mclock 2080

Not the timing i am talking about. Read here.

Also this is the version i used.

atiflash_293 to flash your bios.

Make sure you save the original bios before flashing the new one in case you need to revert.

This version the gui would not work for me on windows so i used the command line to run the flashing and saving.

I thought using Amd's Radeon software to manually adjust the GPU timings was the same as bios flashing the GPU??
It might be, not sure what timings you are referring to in the radeon software. I usually change voltage and clock using radeon, but the timing straps is what I change using polaris and then flash it to the gpu bios. if there is another way to do the straps in radeon, i didn't know.

Hey guys
Im stuck and need help with this issue.
i am using the latest PhoenixMiner 5.4c " administration"
Windows 10 latest update
Amd 20.12.1

16 Gpus: Msi RX 580 8Gb oc
All Gpus on Compute with these settings in AMD 20.12.1 cvddc 853 cclock 1165 mvddc 853 mclock 2080

i can only get 22 hashrate for each gpu.

here is my bat file

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
timeout 15
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl: //eu1.ethermine.org: 5555 -pool2 ssl: //us1.ethermine.org: 5555 -wal ******************* -rxboost 1 -straps 1
pause

when adding more commands in bat the hashrate does not increase.
i have tried different amd drivers and no luck.

rxboost 1 gives me 2 more hash every gpu

Hi, you don't seem to have the Modified Bios on your cards, maybe that's what you need. If you already have it modified, you can try to reinstall it and do the tests

i had bios flashed the rx580's back to stock with atiflash. and was using Radeon software to adjust the timings cvddc 853 cclock 1165 mvddc 853 mclock 2080. i was doing this on claymore and had 31+ hash.
I must have missed this part with phoenixminer to mod the bios.
could you tell me what program i am suppose to use for modding the bios?

PhoenixMiner.exe -amd -eres 0 -mi 12 -dcoin blake2s -pool us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20535 -wal ################.#### -pass x -proto 4 -dpool BLAKE2S.eu.nicehash.com:3361 -dwal #############.####### -dpass x -log 0 -wdog 0 -cdmport 4001 -gpus 2

This is Windows 10, mixed rig with AMD & NVIDIA cards installed, Amd driver version 3110.7 (OpenCL driver version: 20.7-10/20.11.1)

No matter what value I set for -SCI PM always goes into auto-tuning and never reports any Blake2s hash rate.

This issue seems to be related to the DAG epoch, because I was able to run the excat same command at lower epochs.

Dual mining on Nvidia still works.

Can anyone reproduce?


I just assumed you replied to the wrong thread because nothing that you said corresponds to anything discussed on this post or the one I linked. I should have been explicit that I have 8gb cards. This is not about ether mining but about the dual mining coin blake2s. I am mining main coin, eth, without any issues.

Posted earlier this week, same issue with my amd cards. I have not received any response yet. Happened as soon as the epoch changed to 385.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg55976270#msg55976270

No an 8gb card wont help 4gb cards unless you replace all the 4gb cards with 8gb.
Try lolminer ..but honestly windows is about done as far as 4gb cards.  Linux has a few more weeks but it too will succumb.
If you are having issues with hiveos sounds like you got a card or cards with issues.  Watch you rig if you see a card slowing down or failing remove it and try without it..if the others work fine you may have a card issue...or riser issue...etc...

My card is a Rx580 8GB

Trying to mine on my 50th Annv edition of RX 5700 Xt and Phoenix miner 5.4c is seeing 2 thread but both 0MH/s  on both, I have restarted no luck what could be the issue here please?  I am using Driver 20.4.2 version.

I only have 1 GPU not 2 but phoenix is showing 2 GPU. after loading dag still showing 0MH/s and then it hangs after a few minutes

i mine with latest drivers on windows 10.
i get a good hash rate on my 3060TI but i think there is something wrong with my settings.
share count is low but share difficulty is extremly high (see screenshot)
is this good/bad and what to do about it?

Looks like you are doing excellent. I don't run the same card but here is what I found for expected hash rates from a nice hash blog https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/nvidia-rtx-3060-ti-mining-hashrate:

Code:
NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti mining performance
The first rumors have it that the RTX 3060 Ti can perform at 61 MH/s with a 60% power limit (120W) and applied overclocks (source).

We cannot confirm the above rumors, but we can confirm the hashrate of at least 53 MH/s. We do not know what mining software or overclocks were used.


The "Effective speed:" from your image is > 61MH/s which means you are submitting shares at expected hashrate so you are good. That will fluctuate up and down but should over time average to ~59 MH/s which is your reported hasrate.

Rig 1) 6 x RX580 8GB - since couple of weeks I started having problems with ETH. I have updated the drivers as they were pretty old. I have been using Claymore for a long time with no problems. I have read that it's no longer the best option, so I tried Phoenix miner, which I am using on the other Rig already - latest ver.5.4c. It starts, connects to the pool and at the end of the creation of the DAG, it gives this error:
Code:
2020.12.30:17:39:49.974: GPU1 GPU1: clSetKernelArg (-48)
2020.12.30:17:39:49.974: wdog Fatal error detected. Restarting.
I could not find solution so far. I have increased the virtual memory to 54000, just in case, the drivers are the latest version, the phoenix miner is the latest version. Any suggestions what could be causing this?



What is your output from phoenixminer list?

my radeon vii used to run 95~96 but this morning only runs 92 any thing happens to the miner software?

you're not the only one who noticed, check previous page. My Vega VII dropped from 91 to 88 as well. You can notice that yesterday around 7:30 pm UTC global hashrate dropped everywhere in general when DAG epoch switched from 384 to 385 if I'm not mistaken.

Ok this must be the reason for my issue as well. Anyone dual mining also noticed dual mining hash rates drop to 0? I have 2 rigs and around the same time they both stopped mining blake2s. The miner connects to the dual coin pool and receives work but the reported hash rate is 0. It has been working fine for the past few days. I am assuming now this epoch event caused the issue. I tried different pools to make sure.

I have AMD RX580 cards, have not seen a hash rate decline on ethash.
