Quote Quote from: gsrcrxsi314 on May 31, 2018, 03:26:17 AM So Im guessing that like most of the other neat features, auto-tuning doesnt work for nvidia cards? The miner gives no feedback on My nvidia rig that auto tuning is doing anything. On my AMD rig it explicitly says in yellow text that auto-tuning is running.



also your readme file is not updated with any new information about the new features or usage.

Yes, the auto-tuning is only for AMD cards as it changes the GT parameter. We have tried to do something similar for Nvidia cards but they aren't affected by it. This is because the Nvidia cards are more balanced in terms of compute capability vs memory bandwidth and don't benefit from this kind of fine tuning. We are working on HW OC settings for Nvidia cards though, and it should be ready for the next version (3.1).



The new features and changes are moved in the ReleaseNotes.txt file because Readme.txt became too cluttered. Of course, the Readme.txt contains all current information about the command-line options.

Thats what Im saying. Not all of the commandline info is in the readme file. I didnt see any mention of the useage for the Z or X key options in the command window while the miner is running.

I have 1 Rig that didn't run on 2.9e only on 2.7c because of crashes.

And even this headache Rig is now running steady with an hashrate of 194.2 in stead of 191.5

I increased the memory clock of all 12 GPU's (GTX 1070) with +/- 3-5%.



Total hashrate of 385 is now 390.5!



So, I am happy with this version.

Thanks. Very nice fine-tuned setup.

How long can Phoenix run without crash at you end?

My max was 5 days (7x1070), still trying to find my OC sweet spot.

With 2.7C it ran about 2 weeks or so without a crash.

With 3.0 I have to fine tune it again. But Rig1 run now 9:50 hours and Rig 2 an hour after playing to much.

I am still looking for the new sweet spot with this version which is much higer than 2.7c



I have put on both rigs also a Xiaomi temperature sensor on GPU 1. If the temperature goes down 2 degrees I get an alarm on my Xiaomi alarm system and on my apple watch.

Note that this is not an official release yet. The changes from 3.0a are:

Added option -gsi to set the speed stats interval (5-30 seconds, default 5; 0 turns off the speed stats). The detailed stats are still shown every 45 seconds and aren't affected by the -gsi value

Fixed crashing with Vega cards with AMD drivers 18.4.1 and newer

Bugfix: don't restart the miner if -minrigspeed is exceeded but some cards are in auto-tuning

Other small changes

For reference, these were the new features and changes in 3.0a:

Quote Implemented auto-tune functionality which will find the best GT value for each GPU. You can activate it by either omitting the -gt parameter in the command line, or by pressing 'z' in the console. Note that auto-tune process takes about 3 to 5 minutes on average and during this time the hashrate will be lower and will go up and down. You can abort the auto-tuning by pressing the 'g' key in the console window.

Note that auto-tune process takes about 3 to 5 minutes on average and during this time the hashrate will be lower and will go up and down. You can abort the auto-tuning by pressing the 'g' key in the console window. Added support for 'x' key in console window. This will allow you to select a single GPU for manual or automatic GT tuning

Added support for direct mining (without DAG switching for DevFee) of the following coins: Nekonium ( NUKO ), MIX , EtherGem ( EGEM ), AURA , Hotelbyte Coin ( HBC ), Genom ( GEN ), EtherZero ( ETZ ), Callisto ( CLO ). See the -coin option documentation in Readme.txt for details how to specify the coin you are mining.

), , EtherGem ( ), , Hotelbyte Coin ( ), Genom ( ), EtherZero ( ), Callisto ( ). See the -coin option documentation in Readme.txt for details how to specify the coin you are mining. Added support for on-the-fly reload of config.txt file and applying the new options by pressing the key 'c' in the console window. This allows more convenient adjustment and fine-tuning of big mining rigs by avoiding the requirement to restart the miner every time an option is changed. Note that most options require restart in order to change. Currently the follwing options can be changed without restaring: -mi, -gt, -clf, -nvf, and all hardware control parameters (-tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -powlim, -tmax, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc).

Added -cdmrs option to reload the settings if config.txt is edited/uploaded by a remote manager. This allows you to change and reload the config.txt options via remote manager without access to the console window of the miner.

Small improvements in AMD kernels

Added -nvf 3 setting that could solve some problems with unstable Nvidia cards (but may affect hashrate negatively)

Added option -acm to turn on AMD compute mode on the supported GPUs. This is equivalent of pressing 'y' in the miner console.

Added option -retrydelay that sets the pause between the reconnection attempts in seconds (min value 0, default value: 20)

Added option -resetoc to reset the HW overclocking setting on startup to their default values

Added option -gpureset, which forces full reset of the GPU when the miner is paused (or before DAG generation when switching DAG epochs). This is designed to avoid problems like the hashrate drop of GeForce GTX1080 Ti after pause/resume. This option can be specified per GPU and is turned on by default for GTX1080 Ti.

Added option -gser for serializing of DAG creation if your PSU(s) can't take all GPUs generating DAG simultaneously.

Graceful shutdown when closed by the close button of the console window (including reseting OC settings to defaults)

Multiple small improvements and fixes

WARNING! Because the new auto-tune functionality is automatically started if you don't specify -gt parameter, your hashrage will be lower and will fluctuate in the first few minutes while the miner searches for the best GT values for each GPU. If you want to avoid that, you have to specify -gt value on the command-line (or in config.txt). If you want the same behavior as 2.9e, specify -gt 15 (15 is the default value of the GT parameter).

why is the -gt ?? option has no effect whatsoever on the mining result hashrate on the Nvidia GPUs, everything for amd and for nvidia gpus niks.al you do not put anything on the start.bat if you press S is standard on -gt 15. people best solution for the -GSI 0 and the -minrigspeed certainly 40 or 50 lower put due to startup rig, unfortunately on the pool lower report hashrate but there is currently nothing to do until version 3.0c comes out.

Last edit: June 01, 2018, 10:38:06 PM by grenwolde #1938 have been trying to use Phoenix on one of my small rigs -- keep getting a variety of cuda errors sometimes including illegal instruction -- with the miner crashing right after start -- it also now has decided not to write logfiles so i don't know what the problem is now -- running win 10 with 4gig ddr3 with 2-1060 3gb 2-1060 6gb 2 r9 280x and 1 rx570 8gb -- currently using claymore with no issues. Have increased the virtual memory to 60 gig from 30 gig added the -log 2 commands -- still crashes right away -- any suggestions would be appreciated. The rig is really just a spare parts rig -- but hashes quite well.



ok turns out part of this is win 10 -- lets just say it sucks .



The cuda errors are still happening will run for 20 minutes and then will crash -- running on ubq so dag shoud not be an issue -- cards are overclocked but not by much -- did try it with stock and same thing happens
