all gpus but 1 go 0.0/s

Open ghost opened this issue 9 years ago • 43 comments

after 8 or so hours mining all gpus but the first one go 0.0/s. doesn't matter which gpu is first the rest go 0.0/s.

-i 20 is the only thing that run, all other -i 16/18 crash once cache binary compile on r9 270's.

it very random if it wil crash once u launch program at the start. running 5 seperate miners with -g 0 -g 1 -g2 -g 3 -g 4 seems to never crash on launch, will see if any go 0.0/s in future

EDIT: seperate 5 miners still crash because of possible "ghost gpu?" zconn not accepted: Invalid Equihash solution (20) image

this is on flypool so its not pool related if other ppl from diff pools have same problem

Same issue. Have to restart the miner all the time. Will try running a separate miner for each GPU as a temporary solution

How do you run a separate miner for each GPU?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 17:11 ofpcarnage

Add -g 0 1 2. Etc.... save as and a new name.bat. Make sure to change from text to ..

Little trick for those with 290 290x and 390x. Run two instances for each card. ;). Runs gpu at 100% and more sols/s

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 17:11 d57heinz

where do you add the -g 0 can you show an example?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

Genoil.exe -c .... -P 0 -g 0

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

tried it on -g 0 getting 0.0S/s ?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

Go into cache folder and then the bins folder I think. Top one once you double click cache. Delete the bins created for your graphics card. Try the miner again each time advancing one number on the -g setting. It creates bins one by one that way. Less stress maybe they are corrupted

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

I'd especially do this is they aren't all same type and manufacturer card

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

Also if you could post your command line leaving out your credentials if you must:)

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

they are all the same type of card

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

genoil.exe -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.worker01 -p z -g 0

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

Get the same. Seem to be something wrong with the pool

Try it with this. ...... -p z -P 0 -g 0. Of 0 don't work after the -P then try 1. If you have an onboard graphics it will probably be 1. If only amd then 0 should do it. Otherwise I'm out of suggestions for now. Maybe a reboot and try again. Sorry I can't be more helpful. May have to wait for next release

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

I have amd mate RX480

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

yeah not working ...as the above mentioned maybe a problem with the pool as I'm now getting 0.0S/s when I try to run it as normal settings

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

If you want to benchmark. Then remove all pool details and add -b I believe. I'll double in a second. Had to run to farm and hard boot a rig

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 d57heinz

tried the benchmark but I couildn't figure out what you meant so I just ran the start file and it all looked good but it was for a different pool I'm mining on zcash.flypool

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

the command line to double is it -k zec zec -c ?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

same problem but this time i get an actual error message: zconn not accepted: Invalid Equihash solution (20)

only 1 gpu still hashes, it is very odd too when the other miners are running they have a "ghost" first gpu, image

this is on flypool so its not pool related if other ppl from diff pools have same problem

ghost avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ghost

mines working but I think I need a better processor if I try to run it on x2 it crashes

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 18:11 ofpcarnage

Just run the command twice or click on your .bat twice. Wait for first to load if you have bad processor. Remember doesn't work on 7970/280. Instant crash. Also it reduces speed tremendously on rx480's

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

Yes I see the ghost process too. Not sure what it's for either. But it only happens with gpu0. If you start more bats with other gpus it will not show that zombie card/cpu. Don't think it's harmful. It could be he has a flag that disables cpu by default idk.

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

I just ordered some rx470's hopefully they will be able to run @ x 2

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

I got all 6 cards running separately so if 1 goes to 0.0S/s I only have to restart that bat file instead of the entire miner =) Hopefully a new release will be deployed soon

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

for some unknown reason gpu #2 keeps going to 0.0 after maybe 10 mins ?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

Yea I'm fighting it aswell. There's a few people that created some restart bats to combat the issue. I've been babysitting mine pretty hard today.

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

I'd like to know how to create a restart bat I cant be sat here all day =(

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

just had to restart gpu#0 lol

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

Dig thru the issues on github. It's the one that says gpu goes to 0.0/sols/s. I believe. Then dig thru the comments. I'm on my mobile atm. When I get home I can hopefully pull it.

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

@EvilCodingMonkey EvilCodingMonkey commented about 5 hours ago • edited about 5 hours ago @MGraf023 I made something very similar to this 2 days ago. It worked great for about 30 hours. Now the shares have dropped a lot (like I wrote). I tried rebooting several times, resetting Trixx settings, no luck. Just to make sure, I went back to ETH mining: everything ran normally. Here's my batch script:

I set the P flag to 1 because 0 is the CPU's integrated GPU.

:loop start genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u [wallet_address] -p z -P 1 -g 0 1 -i 20 -w 64 timeout /t 600 taskkill /f /im genoil.exe timeout 2 goto loop

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

think I found it ":restart start "" cmd /C start.bat start "" cmd /C start2.bat start "" cmd /C start3.bat TIMEOUT /T 1200 taskkill /f /im genoil.exe goto restart"

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

Sorry that was this thread lol. It's the slow rx480 issue thread. There a couple in there

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

Yep that was it. I'm going to test it and see how it does too. Can't hurt for now

d57heinz avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 d57heinz

I just tested it and ran it for 25 seconds....I ran it on bat file for gpu 0 only but it killed all the other separate bats

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

just tried adding -P 0 -g 0 1 2 3 4 5 to the end of the line but it will only run 1 gpu ?

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

ofpcarnage If you have integrated GPU on your CPU (Intel Graphics for example), then -P 0 will probably be that GPU. Try -P 1 in that case.

ghost avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ghost

Thanks mate I sorted it I used this file :loop start genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u [wallet_address] -p z -P 1 -g 0 1 -i 20 -w 64 timeout /t 600 taskkill /f /im genoil.exe timeout 2 goto loop I deleted the -i 20 as it was not recognised

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 19:11 ofpcarnage

restart bat is a nice workaround thnx

ghost avatar Nov 01 '16 20:11 ghost

No problem!

ghost avatar Nov 01 '16 20:11 ghost

nope mines not working I thought I'd solved it but I see no second window popping up with a countdown and it will only run 1 gpu at a time if I use the other code I posted

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 20:11 ofpcarnage

:restart start "" cmd /C start.bat start "" cmd /C start2.bat start "" cmd /C start3.bat TIMEOUT /T 55 taskkill /f /im genoil.exe goto restart genoil.exe -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -uxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.worker01 -p z -P 1 -g 0 1 2 3 4 5

ofpcarnage avatar Nov 01 '16 20:11 ofpcarnage

doh I figured it out I had named my bat files gpu0 / gpu1 I created a seperate bat file and I run that it then runs all the other bat files for 20 mins then restarts
