Claymore v11.0 yields performance increase, more dual-mining options

I normally don’t post about every new release of Claymore’s miner, but this one is a bit different in that it’s probably worth your time to make the upgrade from whichever release you currently have installed on your rig(s). Version 11.0 of the popular miner was released about a week ago, and I’ve been running it on my own rigs for several days now with no issues. The latest release offers the following:

  • Mining performance improvement (about +2% on my own Linux rig vs. version 10.5)
  • Reduced developer fee when dual mining (from 2% to 1.5%)
  • Dual mining now supports coins which use the blake2s & keccak algorithms (I’ve tested mining XVG alongside ETH with no problems)

You can get the latest version here. Note that you may have to whitelist it with your anti-virus software, as many flag Claymore as potential malware.

You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.

    Are you using any different switches with 11? I’ve tried a few I’ve seen suggested but they all kill my hash 🙂

      The only thing I changed was the -dcri setting when testing out the new dual mining algorithms. I found -dcri 40 to be about optimal for dual-mining XVG on my hardware, whereas that is way too high for many other coins.

      A straight copy of my startup scripts from version 10.5 over to v11.0 yields about a 2% ETH mining performance boost for me.

    Definitely. Not sure on the mechanism but HWiNFO shows fewer errors, almost zero for some of the headache cards I have after I switch to v11. No statistics for harshrate performance since my rigs are upgrade constantly. The only cons is Windows 10 Antivirus reports v11 as a virus while previous versions are fine.

    • CryptoBadger says:

      If you’re paranoid (and running AMD cards), Win10 AV seems to only report that the executables in the Claymore /cuda* directories are potential threats. As long as you don’t have any Nvidia GPUs, you can safely delete (or quarantine) those folders.

    Just tried Claymore ver. 11.3. It is even better. All Sapphire Nitro+ rx570 8gb hits 31 Mh/s and rx480 8gb hits 30 Mh/s in dual mining mode(ETH+XVG). Now am testing the stability.

    please write a guide on connecting to claymore v11.5 is it the same as v10?
