Miner not using AMD 6990 GPU #472
Comments
|
Off top question - is there a way to disable device(cpu) in mining, i have another computer with core 2 duo, that is used for mining when miner running and its just useless... i have 3 video cards on that board that do work well though. I want to use only cards and not use cpu at all. Tried deleting config and its being re-created, tried modding config to a point that it cant be used and miner says invalid config and just quits, so video cards cant mine, any suggestions? |
|
`--noCPU` disable the cpu. Please post the full terminal output.
|
|
I saw that the intensity is set to zero. Please increar the intensity by
hand to 128, 256 or 512. Yor gpu has only 300MB free some other apps using
to much memery. restart the system than delete the amd.txt an start the
miner and check the intensity.
|
|
try to change "platform_index" : 0, to 1 or 2. |
|
What driver are you using for HD6990? I have many issues with the card before I roll back to 15.7 driver but I never think that XMR-STAK can work with such old driver. I'll try to run 2.1 version of XMR-STAK and report results. |
|
|
|
I have not yet tried other suggestions, due to latest win10 update messing up system, had to undo update...took a while. Will do it a bit later. AMD driver is on screenshot and it is indeed 15.7.1 WHQL
|
|
I've managed to get xmr-stak running. I changed intensity to non-zero value and then try to set bigger values. Maximum value that I was able to reach was 250. Overall performance is 3 times lower then using old 9,7 Claymore miner. I beleive that problem is with incorrect memory detection. Only 384 M per GPU are detected when 2G are available. Low hashrate of GPU6 corresponds to performance in other miners. Please advise how to proceed with optimisation. Please note that we have some sort of bug if intensity is set to zero, we get error not stopped adapter. |
So i tried various intensity and could not go over "250" anything beyond this renders miner not seeing AMD GU. With intensity value 250 card gives about half of what it should be able to do. Any other recommendations are welcome. Also, does anyone know what does that little switch do on 6990?

I got switch figured: |
while its very convenient to have a cpu+ ati+ nvda miners in one, having cards underperform significantly, it was decided to switch 6990 to claymore 9.7, now card does what it should hash - 766hs. I would be really happy to use xmr stack all in one if this problem would of have been fixed.

please remove the amd.txt and try to generate the config again. an other
app is reducing your memory to only 380MByte. This is the reason for your
issu.
|
|
I remove amd.txt several times, no change. No other apps use video adapters, this is a dedicated rig. Fresh reboot do not change anything. Claymore 9.7 is running on the system 385 H/s per GPU, 3040 H/s for 4 cards (8 GPU). Should I manually set different memory size in config? What size should I try (each GPU have 2G dedicated RAM) if it is reasonable to do so? |
@Simaex - thought you have claymore 9.7 doing normally.... as mine does 766 stable(OC switch pos 1) with it.
|
|
@m03e5 I have CCNM 9.7 running, 785-807 H/s per card but it did not help much in tuning XMR-STAK :-) |
|
@Simaex Could you please run |
|
Which app sdk do you have installed. I compiled the binary with app sdk 3 maybe there is something incompatible with app sdk 2.X |
|
@psychocrypt while it could matter how miner is compiled on @Simaex system, if he did it himself, but i am using already compiled (by Dev's) version for win. I would assume original compilation would be properly assembled to work on any system. looking forward to see the outcome. Thx p.s. it seems that we all agree on one - it is VRAM related problem. |
|
I try to use pre-compiled windows version. Please find clinfo output. I run it when Claymore 9.7 was working. |
|
No chances to get HD6990 working I assume :-( |

Hi friends, I am new here ,but have almost same problem. Using Clarymore, and it keeps showing 0 h/s, no matter what I do. Maybe some step wrong, since I am new at mining world. Could someone help?Thanks!
|
|
I have the same problem on Arch Linux running the proprietary driver with failing to detect memory of the GPU (HD 6990). Setting intensity manually solves the problem (although I am not getting what the hashrate should be for this card, perhaps an unrelated issue as this card has just been repaired) Attached is a clinfo dump and the autogenned amd.txt |
|
@Simaex I get about 260H/s per GPU so about 520H/s for the entire card. Benchmarks indicate that this card can exceed 700H/s. Could merely be an optimization problem since none of the benchmarks I see use xmr-stak or it could be a problem with my particular card. I will spend more time investigating it this weekend trying different miners looking into throttling and so on, I just wanted to report that I see the same behavior of xmr-stak autosetting an intensity of 0 here. |
|
@dougvj I have four HD6990 - the same for each, 770 H/s for card with Claymore 9.7 but not more then 500 with xmr-stak when manually setting intensity. |
Occassionally the auto adjust doesn't find enough memory and the intensity is detected too low and aligned to 0 with the compute units. This patch fixes this situation by issuing a warning with a suggestion to set environment vars and then ignoring the alignment to 0 Per several issues: Principally: fireice-uk#81 Related: fireice-uk#490 fireice-uk#472

@m03e5 If you care to read the thread you will easily find that we used different worksizes from 17 to 21. |

Friends, now I'm trying to install the 14.4 driver in Windows 10 Pro. I used AMD's "clean uninstall" utility to remove any previous AMD drivers, and downloaded the 14.4 drivers nominally for Windows 8.1 from AMD's site. When I run the installer on Express mode, it finishes with errors, saying it was unable to install the driver because "Driver Install: the driver package does not specify a hardware identifier". Can anyone help? I know this is off topic but Google didn't turn up anything.... |
|
@cjp0008 Do not use AMD utility, use DDU |
|
Я немного убрал частоту ядра и получилось 792,8 х/с, иногда проскакивает 800х/с надо пробовать варианты. |
|
5-ый день не могу победить! |

@leou0 do not use Win7 for mining. Try to fix your problems using Win10. Do fresh install Win10 Pro, 14.4 drivers, switch off updates. Do not install AB and give it a try. You should get around 765 H\s per HD6990 rock stable provided you have normal ambient temperatures. If you want to try performance settingth you can use Claymore 9.7 miner to set your core and mem clocks and core voltage. GPU will retain the values until next reboot. Try to set your default display to on-board grafics if available else you have to fine-tune GPU that is used for video output. It may cause major performance drop for it or stability issues. |
|
Встроенная графика отсутствует в мат. плате, на win 10 AB работает вполне корректно, 1 из 8 ядер не майнит (т.к. нет встроенной графики).... но основная проблема не в этом, происходит хаотичный отвал графических ядер и далее зависание майнера как в win7 так и в win 10 |
|
@leou0 just get rid of AB and lower your intensity to the level that ALL GPU are mining. If you will still get stability issues it is you MB PCIe controller, try other MB. |
|
What is meant with AB? Please explain. |
|
@stefanbuerger I mean that when trying to troubleshoot an issue you should get rid of everything that may cause the problem exept miner itself. If it helps it is not a miner problem. BTW I explained how to OC the card without using AB (AfterBurner) at all. I have issues with AB and HD6990 cards some time ago. |
|
С AB разобрался, проблема оказалась в мониторе (при отключенном мониторе и подключении через RDP, AB не работает. Через VNC все ОК)... Но отвалы остались, повторяю, проблема не в железе, ПРОВЕРЕНО! На Claymore v.9.7 подобных проблем не наблюдается. Разгона карт нет: 880 по ядру и 1250 по памяти. Перегрева нет, максимум 74 градуса. // gpu: Cayman memory:1663 При таких настройках - 350 H/s на ядро (700 h/s с карты) |
|
Есть предположение что проблема в 6xGPU mod, есть ли еще какие либо способы исправить ошибку 43? |
|
I have a very similar problem with my AMD Sapphire HD 6970 2GB Graphics Card. It only sees i have 384 Cayman memory? This is a part of my amd.txt file: "gpu_threads_conf" : [ I tried many different settinsg and versions of XMR STak and ipbc-miner-win64-cuda8-1.1.4 which partialy has the same code, but i cant get it to use much more memory and have a higher H/s. The max intensity i can use is about 256. Please help or advice me, i think i should be able to have much higher hashrates. |
|
Which miner do you started first xmr-stak or ipbc miner. Both miner must
have the same issue because the ipbc devs only update the algorithm but
nothing else.
|
|
I started with xmr-stak i tried different versions then i tried different versions ipbc miner because my goal is to mine ipbc but somehow the miner does not see my 2GB video memory.
|
|
You have to use 14.4 drivers. Nothing else works.

@Milierkovic You are usung 15.2 driver. It is known problem discussed above. Deinstall 15.2 using DDU and Install 14.4 driver to access all of GPU video memory and try to use worksize from 17 to 22. Usually 19 work best. You can expect 400+ H/s for monero7 algo. If you are using the HD6970 as a primary display card you can have additional problems that affect performance. |
|
Нужен рабочий скрипт (bat) на перезапуск xmr-stack при отвале драйвера... на других площадках годного не нашел... |
|
@Simaex Problem solved! "gpu_threads_conf" : [ I have a very good hashrate now: HASHRATE REPORT - AMD I am using ipbc-miner-1.1-win64 now. Thank you very much for your help EDIT: only invalid results :( |

Ктонибудь пробовал на 69 серии запускать TRTL? Алгоритм Lite_v7 похоже вообще не работает на 69xx) хотя на монеро идет отлично. Пробовал разные майнеры ни на одном не пошел этот алгоритм. |

Всем привет! Помогите решить проблему, майнер (xmrig-amd) выдает ошибки, а именно: 2018-05-14 23:01:48] speed 10s/60s/15m n/a n/a n/a H/s max: 750.0 H/s Это происходит, непонятно по какой закономерности, если кто сталкивался поделитесь. Заранее спасибо! |

Downgraded my Ubuntu 14 to kernel 3.2 using old precise repo and a preferences file to pin just the kernel and junk, installed fglrx 13.152 (aka amd-catalyst-13.9-linux-x86.x86_64) and getting personal best ever 173.4H/s on this Sapphire HD5570 1GB (stock clocks, stock bios) using Any more intensity ran out of memory. This driver (referenced just above) and kernel combo works nice. |
|
Does anyone know of a complete step by step procedure for this? I am currently testing with a HD 5450 and 5570s. I tried using drivers 14.4 and I just tried with 13.12 and I have had no luck with my GPUs doing anything. The CPU miner works just fine. Did the latest release update kill this trick (2.4.5)? I am just looking for guidance on what people did. I have a fresh install of windows 10, pulled the c++ 2015 libraries, and have the gpus above. Thoughts? I would like to get this working as I have a few 5900, 5800, and 6900 cards. Thanks for any help. |
|
Please start from reading the thread. All necessary info is already mentioned. If still no luck please be more specific in your info and include all info like autogenerated config files, clinfo output, windows version. As 69XX make much more sense start with single 69XX card. Later you will have chance to practice with 5XXX cards. |
|
13.xx are the only ones that work. Speaking of which, none of the AMD's that aren't connected to a "screen" (or dummy plug aka screen without a screen) under Windows will show up for OpenCL usage at all. So if you don't have any of them on a LCD or whatever they won't show up (other than in Device Manager) regardless of having the right drivers. Thanks AMD, I guess you think a GPU is only for displaying graphics (idiots!) Run Linux if you want actual headless AMD mining. Same 13.xx driver limit applies, which means Or buy three dummy plugs. Test by hooking up some old LCD to one of them first, it should magically show up for work then. Also if you have Intel iGPU drivers installed, you have to kill the OpenCL part of that (or uninstall the driver / use Standard VGA for it) else it will crash the opencl backend during probe/startup. Thanks Intel... Latest release (and dev branch too) all work great on my HD5570, just recompiled last night. The AMD thread 0 doing ~173 is the HD5570, the other two are Tahiti (HD68xx or HD69xx or such) which also work nicely on the old drivers. |
and others
Please provide as much as possible information to reproduce the issue.
Basic information
Do you compiled the miner by our own?
-no
Stability issue
When initially executed miner creates 2 config files, one for cpu and one for gpu. However when miner is running only cpu is mining, no AMD gpu visible and no errors, acts just like its not there. Its a dual GPU on one physical video card and i know it works as it was mining under nicehash, both gpu's are listed in device manager and obviously they are seen by miner as it creates config file for it...
Here is config, generated during initial run of program.
