ICO? Not even once.
My 780 3gb gets 3.77khash/s using ubuntu 12.04
As gpu performance doesnt play a huge part I would say maybe a little more then my 780?

What 700 series card are you looking at?

Thinking about getting some 4GB 760's.

Anybody has a reference of how well any 7xx series 4GB card performs in scrypt-jane?

Did you get the full rig running Christian?
Does -C do much or anything on the titan kernal with scrypt-jane?

I would try linux. I had mint 16 and that was the one that died because it was using ubuntu 13.10. My ubuntu 12.04 LTS is rock solid. Compiles easy and runs well. Plus the huge spike in performance and it uses the memory better :-)

I would use a decebt hard drive though. My yacoin wallet can take 15 minutes to load sometimes. And that is loading off a 550MB/s read and write ssd

Only uses 1 thread to load though. Be nice if I could tell it to use all 8

Using the recently linked to 32bit Windows build I am seeing 0.64 kh/s per each of my GTX 580 cards.

well with K13x1 my 660 ti gets 1.33 khash on windows...I'm really tempted to throw another drive in my rig and put mint on it and see the difference but I've only got until Sunday before I gotta drive back to school so I'm just gonna be relaxing haha.

I use -l K4x4 -b 8192 -C 1 -i 0 and get 2.65 Khash but I also overclock...


K5x2 with -b 8192 gives me 1.80 khash anything higher crashes the drivers
What specifically do you focus your OC on? Memory?

EDIT: Actually getting a few that dont validate with the cpu

Right now I'm in a pool. How would I solo mine Yacoin?...I wanna test my luck Tongue
And as far as overclocking goes, memory OC if anything for jane? But doubt that will help much since its more mem capacity and the way windows is utilizing it correct?

Ah ye forgot to mention, it's an gigabyte WF, so the cooling isn't a problem. It's the power draw ^^ Way crazy. Gonna see if I can manage around 500khash/s at a less dangerous power draw

You can dowclock the memory pretty heavily for scrypt and could try undervolt the GPU.

Heh ok, can't mine with that overclock! Just got myself an GTX 780 which is running nicely at 1250mhz core and currently 1600mhz memory, skynet bios etcetc. Discovered what you did earlier, power draw is off the charts hahah. It wants more even at 125% TDP and that's when the 100% is boosted to 300W+ on this bios >_> Did give me 555k/hash+ though! xD Will have to tweak it a bit  Grin

these mod bioses are made for overvolting - and the stock cooler can't take it. You need water cooling or extra strong aftermarket heat sinks + fans

Am I doing it wrong on a GTX 660 2GB?

-a scrypt-jane -d 1 -i 0 -l K10x1 -C 2

Getting 0.48khash/s anything higher than 10x1 gives me the too much memory error.

Don't use -C 2, use -C 0.

Also, you should try K14x1 or if it gives you out of memory error (due to some background applications using VRAM) go for K13x1 for optimum performance.

Yeah I followed your advice a few posts back and it worked for my second card. Running on igpu to try to free both cards up for mining. Anybody try that and make it work?

hi are there ways to stop cudaminer from using all your gpu power?
like it can only use like 50 percent because I dont want to have an fully exhausted gpu all the time

Would a scrypt-jane version of cudaminer that utilizes SLI make sense?

SLI is strictly for graphics. It literally means "scan line interleave". Anything computation and CUDA related doesn't have scanlines, so the whole SLI concept is moot.

CUDA sees two SLI'd cards as two separate CUDA devices. You can run two cudaminer instances, specifying -d 0 on the first one and -d 1 on the second one. Instant double hash rate.


I have SLI off for mining. Still having an issue with my first card not wanting to cooperate in Windows 7. The -d 1 card is hashing scrypt-jane just fine (-a scrypt-jane -d 1 -i 0 -l K14x1 -C 0). Cant seem to get the -d 0 card to do much even with separate instances for both.

Just compiled the git version to enable scrypt-jane.  I have been reading others speeds and see everyone post their speeds. When I ran it and started poking around I saw my khash as high as 18.33 khash/s and am wondering if what I am seeing is correct or actually working correctly.

[2014-01-10 16:36:18] GPU #0: using launch configuration K7x32


use small launch configs, like K7x1 or K14x1 - even better let it autotune.

K7x32 would use way too much RAM. Not sure why you weren't notified that the memory is not sufficient.
Maybe some integer overflow... I need to fix that.
