Hi All ...

Curious to know what commandline is used for linux based BMiner to mine on NiceHash BEAM?

Any help would be appreciated, even if it just an example. Testing will commence as soon as we have the details. Seems we always get errors trying to run the miner with NiceHash.

Thanks in advance!

Any chance to make win10 grin29 mining on 6gb card work? I think eth miner are able to use all of the gpu memory, so maybe there is a way?


dragonmike is correct with amd grin miners being terrible in hash/watt right now, but I'm blamining AMD for that

i cant use telemetry on bminer 14.0 its shows me nothing just white screen please fix this problem for mining grin29

Has anyone been able to successfully use the RTX2060/2070 on Bminer yet?  Doesn't seem to be recognizing/communicating with the GPU drivers 410

Hello!

I have 2 rigs working with bminer, one is 3x1080 and 4x1070ti, second is 3x1080ti and 7x1070ti

They both have identical mb(asrock btc pro), same memory 8gb, same cpu intel 4400

Swap is set to 58 gb on first, and 80gb on second

drivers are last 417.71
CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10 installed

But bminer can not reach full hashing power on both rigs

Hash are vary from 2,9 to 4,7

Here is screen from first:

But i know someone who have similar cpu, his RAM are 4GB, and he is easily having around 5 gps per card

Can you give advice what can be done to fix that?
Thanks!

But i have proofs from other guy, who have 7x1070ti rig with just 4GB(!) of RAM  and he have 5 gps per card easily

You have not so bad results compared to mine:)
I think there possible can be problem in the mixing of cards i.e. 1070ti with 1080 and etc.

Can Bminer devs say something?
Thanks

Latest version starts puking out these error messages after a while:

"failed to fetch device status for device id: 1, Error code 999"

Hashrate drops by 20%, and CPU is completely maxed out - and no, it's not a Celeron.

Something's fukced up.
Please fix.

well with 5 GPU only hashrates are quite good on my rig, i think problem starts after 6 GPU, for example with 6 1080Ti even with larger pagefile 2 core cpu would have problems and hashrate would drop, maybe  6-8 core cpu should do better with 6-8 GPU or there's some kind of limitation at the moment with 6-8 gpu rigs using latest bminer build, as for celeron it can do well with 5X1080Ti, i use only 32gb pagefile and hashrates are quite high:

even with 5 GPU my celeron G1840 works at 50%, so with 6+ GPU CPU utilization will be even higher and GPU hashrates will dicrease, with 7-8 GPU rig there should be quite high cpu bottleneck, maybe i7-8700 should do better with more RAM

no fifth 1080 card is just different model and it's working with lower core speeds, difference is around 150MHZ between MSI gamer x 1080 and EVGA 1080 FTW using second bios with -50 core oc + teamviewer by the way in f2pool statistics average 24 hour hashrate is 30g.sec, while miner shows only 27.20g without using teamviewer, so there's no performance decrease on my rig, by the way first GPU is 1080Ti zotac amp on my rig with core oc 120+ all five gpu work at TDP 70% and 53-55% fan, temps are around 2-3 °C less than on skunkhash,X16R and other X algos

maybe it's because increased fidelity in latest build:

Improved the miner fidelity by 8%-10%. You will not see big local difference but you will see roughly 10% higher speed on the pool side.

so there's definitely some problem with 6+ GPU rigs at the moment even with latest intel i7, also 1080Ti will need higher pagefile than 1070-1080 with just 8GB VRAM, well 7-8 GPU rig need at least 120gb ssd with just only 4gb ram but at the moment performance drop would be quite big on such systems even with i7, i have only 60gb and there's only 10gb free space left with 32gb pagefile, but system stability is quite good in 24 hour mining period, even with 5X1080Ti maybe there's some performance drop using higher pagefile and 120gb ssd, since 60gb partition won't be enough with 5X11GB VRAM GPU + 1080Ti need higher cpu usage than 1080
i haven't tested beam hashrates and profits yet on nicehash with equahash 150.5 algo, i think it doesn't need so large pagefile and should do around 0.0016-0.0018 bitcoins per day with 120-130 Sol/s hashrate, later they should add grincoin as well, grin-beam-Zcoin are most profitable coins to mine at the moment, but grin at the moment has highest income on my rig

I think I found out what that was.
Lower your core overclock. If your display driver crashes as a result of too much core o/c the miner is not able to get whatever info it needs and throws out this error. Hashrate drops as well by about 20-25%.
