I've always gone with what was stated in the wiki. I'm pretty sure the same info is stated on the nVidia web site as well. I will gladly try compiling for 3.0 and see if it works. Probably not till tomorrow though. Will report back my results. thanks all for chipping in to help.

Just reporting back that yes indeed, building for SM3.0 for my card that nVidia and the Wiki both state is 3.5 did the trick. Looking through the makefile of ccminer 1.2 I see that it was building for both 3.0 and 3.5 so that's why it worked. Some bitquark (quark algo) hashrate comparisons from that machine:
ccminer 1.2 = ~1200KH/s
ccminer 1.6.6 = ~950KH/s
A little disappointed with that. Hoping the share rates are higher to compensate but that's harder to gauge. I'll be trying 1.7 tonight.
With the current prices you will make $0,05775 of mining quark 24 H @ 1MHASH
Old hardware is a waste of power. Supporting the old hardware is a waste of time...
sp please go back to your thread... (your attacks are so pathetic, that it doesn't even deserve to be commented...)
This is not an attack this is just facts. A well coded 980ti kernal can mine quark easily at 35MHASH.
35x the speed of the old shitcards and with 250W of power. Instead of 5 cents a day you earn $1.75 and that's enough to cover the powerbill and give you free beers in the weekend.
Sorry to stir up such a shit-storm. I mean. yes, at some point one does have to look at the economies of their hobby if they want to move beyond it being just a hobby. 35MH/s mining quark from a single card sure got my attention, until I looked at the average price on ebay trending about $675 a pop. That's a very big investment for such a small return. And in 3-4 years when you've finally broken even, the card itself will have probably depreciated in value to pennies on the dollar. To really be in the game you have to be rotating out cards no more than 1 year old to get any resale value, constantly updating miner software to keep up with the flow of newer, and better cards coming out, yatta yatta yatta. I'll leave it to the kids. I'm too old already for that nonsense.
And calling it an attack I think might be overstating it just a bit. A little blunt and abrasive, maybe. I fit that description sometimes too so I try to overlook it in others. Deep breath, everyone. There. Doesn't that feel better?
ok lets get back to the basis: The reason why a coin is mined is to propagate and expand its network through many peers, hence you get a reward for that. Sure if you can get "rich" in the process, that's good too.
But pure profit has never been the "raison d'être" of the PoW, you do something for a coin you get a reward.
So may-be I am a naïve idealistic moron, but believing PoW is just about making money is a bit minimalist (and probably the reason why many coins are considering PoS instead, so that there isn't a bunch of greedy miners dumping on anyone interested in a coin).
What I mean, there are people who wants to mine with their hardware and support the network of their favorite coin and don't necessarily want to upgrade to the latest hardware, I got many request both for neoscrypt and lyra (you can see on reddit, they are people who just want to mine, no matter what. And you can look into other thread they are many request as well from people who wants to mine with the card they have.
So upgrade, sure I encourage anyone to buy the latest bad ass new shit (at 600$/gpu), but not everyone wants that and before becoming a "serious" mining farm you start that as a hobby and you just want to try (and altcoin/bitcoin community is a little more than getting rich fast )
That was my first point
The second, you can ask whatever you want to a dev or another but as long as no-one donate anything or ask a dev to work (and pay him... ), a dev is still free to work on whatever pleases him and makes a thread about it, without having anyone coming to shit on his parade (especially when the person is using the that code and again there are other way to contact a dev... )
... i have just never setup a test machine to document it all ... power bills are my indication - and when you have a farm of machines - the difference is huge ...
