Re: SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.8.2 - native algo switching

I'm getting alot of "pool rejected share (Share Above Target)" errors at nicehash on CryptoNightR
Anyone else getting this too?

Yes, I am as well.  Asked about it earlier in the thread but didn't get a response from anyone so figured if might just be my machine.

Those errors are nicehash specific, because nicehash is so 'special'. You will get those on every miner, or if not, it means the miner is not showing those messages to the user Smiley
Is it Algo specific?  
I was using CastXMR on CryptonightV8 and on the pool side it was very rare to see rejected share percentage, whereas on Cryptonight-R and this miner I see 10-15% rejected more frequently pool side.

Are "share above target" errors common when mining at Nicehash on Vegas?
My Vega64s are underclocked to 1200/950 core/mem.

I'm getting quite a few "share above target" errors mining CryptonightR at Nicehash on Vega 64. Miner is saying only 80-85% are accepted.

intensity=0
gpuworksize=16
threads=2

Card is underclocked/undervolted, running 1200MHz/950MHz
Is this normal?

How do you use only one GPU out of several in the same PC?

Use something like this, where index is the gpu you want to use:

Thanks

Version 0.8.1 released.

Changes:
* Patched to handle coming PoW changes (CryptoNightV7)
* Added power_limit profile option

https://github.com/arnesson/xrig/releases

How do you use only one GPU out of several in the same PC?

I'd definitely switch to this if I could use the Adrenalin drivers and get speeds similar to the blockchain drivers.

Re: Optiminer/Zcash v1.6.1 (GPU, Windows+Linux, AMD)

V1.5 and V1.6 have been crashing the 16.11 driver on my 290.  This happens at stock and overclocked.  Actually it's weird, I ran 1.5 from release right up until last Tuesday, so about 7 days, when it hung.  Since then I cannot get V1.5 or 1.6 to run stable at stock or overclocked settings.  This happens with stock or modded BIOSs.  V1.3.2 runs without any problem, but speed is lower.

Could something have changed server side on Nicehash that is causing the crashing?  Temps are fine as it is watercooled and VRMs are staying at under 70C.  Not sure what could suddenly cause the instability.

I'm getting an "argument index out of range" error with v1.4 on a 290.  Works fine on 1.3.2.  Tried changing intensity values, taking out "experimental-kernel" but no luck.  Anyone else?

This is a problem with nicehash and v1.4. Use a different pool or run 1.3.2 on nicehash.

Will try to provide a fix.

The root of the problem is that nicehash sometimes uses extremely long extranonces . This violates some of the optimizations I made for v1.4.0 which causes this error (it should have printed a nice log message but there was a bug there which ended up in this cryptic message).

Thanks for the heads up.  I went back to 1.3.2.

This is my bat file:
optiminer.exe -s equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u someuser -p z -d 2 -i 6 --experimental-kernel

Try -i 5
-i 5 ; -i 4 ; w/o -i the same error and 0 S/s
v 1.3 ... work great and I back to 1.3.2 - its still better than last Claymore 11.1

Yeah I also get 0S/s at any intensity.  The GPU is doing something though since the GPU usage shoots to 100%, so I'm not sure what is wrong.
v1.3.2 works fine for me.

Has anyone found a reliable bios mod for the Sapphire rx 480 8g cards that reduces power but keeps the h/s rate respectable?  Most of what I have found on forums have been unstable.  I have 4 rigs with 6x Sapphire 8g 480's that each run at around 1200w (and I have a 1300w psu) and 11.5A  and deliver 260 H/s on each card with the stock bios and I am having to reduce their intensity each time the mining software speeds the mining up or the whole platform shuts down due to exceeding power limits.  I have played with different power tools such as Watttool (Wattman is useless for multiple cards and settings in Claymore just freeze my systems) but I am a bit of an inexperienced computer user so I am not sure what to try and I don't want to damage my systems.  I have read every page of this forum as I have worked through all the same issues with Open CL and cards not being recognized, and I appreciate the degree this forum supplies ideas and methods to help others work through their issues.  So I am asking my first question around suggested settings in Watt tool or perhaps even a stable and capable bios mod that keeps power down while not giving up on the current performance, if possible.  Any help is appreciated.

Wow, 1200w for 6x480?!  That's way too power much I think.  Is that at the wall?
I have a reference 480 (stock BIOS) that runs at 1100/2000 0.85v, hashing at 230S/s and using about 100w.  You should be able to get your 480s down to MAX ~150w each while keeping stock clocks at least.

I am using Watttool to underclock/undervolt it.

Sorry, I don't speak Russian.  I tried google translate but it says "increase paver limit".  Not sure what that means lol.  Did you mean power limit?

If so, the cards are undervolted slightly to not go near the power limit, and the clocks are fixed in Afterburner.

Hello,
I am getting this when mining on my 290:

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g51/thilan29/optiminer.jpg

No error, it just stops mining.  Card is rock stable mining at higher clocks on Claymore.  I've underclocked it by 25MHz from those speeds.

Using 1.3.2 version, Win 10-64, Cats 16.11.3

Bat file has --watchdog-cmd option set with timer, but it doesn't actually get to the watchdog command I'm guessing.  I've seen it start the watchdog option when the internet connection was lost but it didn't in this case.

Any thoughts?

To the Nicehash guys:

I was able to get mining going with the GUI by deleting the parameters related to clock/fan settings in the json file.  I am using msi afterburner anyway so I didn't test individual components, I just deleted it all.

Also, while mining, the miner would only display something and the GUI would not be frozen *IF* I used the "--text-only" flag in the algorithm parameters in the json file.  I believe this is because I don't have anything connected to the fan header since I am watercooling.  I remember this was an issue for me before, where the miner would only display anything if I used the --text-only command...it would mine, but the miner window was just blank.  Maybe you can put that "--text-only" command into the settings page for your next release?

Hope this helps with subsequent versions of your program. Smiley
