Should "cudaminer" work on X11 ?

Nope. For that you need ccminer!
~ Myagui

Thanks
            I have now got ccminer v 1.2 from page one with an old 8800 GTX GPU. When i run it with this .bat the miner runs and i see some very high kh/s, Straturm detects new blocks but no accepts also GPUZ reads "no GPU load" and the miner does not show up at the pool !!

Am i missing something in this .bat file ?

color 0A
ccminer.exe --algo=x11 -o stratum+tcp://mine.xpool.ca:8888 -u XfPufoyE8XSR1gDbVW2idBUsAJuwcBmFZo -p x -v 256
it won't work, you need some custom built supporting old compute version (what is the compute version of the 8800 gtx ?)
it should show up in gpu-z

compute version = vs 1.0
Shocked I am not sure it is even possible to go back that far...

It is like being in a Ferrari behind a trailer and no way to pass...  Grin

Not if the road is wide enough  Cool

i will donate some burst if u make one
well trust me it is a small mountain road, like the one you don't like to see trailer (even if you are not in Ferrari)

u mean the CPU is the bottleneck ? If so , it's good news. Meaning the coin is truly GPU resistance

The CPU will limit it because it won't be able to handle the amount of data the GPU will throw at it. It would offer some improvement but it depends on how the CPU will handle the data from the GPU and if PCI can handle the data
and the disk itself, it isn't even obvious that he can handle many read/write operation at the same time...
(may-be a decent disk server (I mean a machine dedicated to that) will do better ?)

Disk wise, use a full system with raid cards and the drives raided together. It would look like a single disk to the os but writing would write to all disks at the same time. So 2 disks could handle twice as many writes at the same time.

So a proper raid card would be maybe 8 HDDs raided together giving 8 times the disk io for writes.

It has draw backs though

Hi
    I have this miner working on a nvida 8800 gtx but gpuz is reading temps of 95 !!!

how can i slow the miner down a bit

cheers
you need give us first more detail on what you run and things like that.
Make sure the fan are at 100%
But quite frankly you are probably just losing money on electricity

thanks

It's just the one card, fans read 100% in GPUZ and this is the .bat file no .conf
color 0A
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mine.xpool.ca:7777 -u XfPufoyE8XSR1gDbVW2idBUsAJuwcBmFZo -p x -i1 -H1 -l L16x4

No need for the setx etc. They're stuff only used with AMD IIRC. You could try playing with the launch config (-l). Some settings will result in a lower temp but also in a lower hashrate.
Don't let your fans spin at 100%, they'll wear out pretty fast. It's possible they're already worn out. Take a look at them.

djm, possible to develop a nvidia GPU plotter based on this ?

let me know when he posts something which has been tested (lol that guy post a bunch of line of code not even bothering testing it...  Grin)
Until then I will stay on the impression that it isn't gpu job to write to hdd...
and no matter how fast the gpu will do those calculation (shabal ?), it will still be up to the cpu to write to hdd... meaning it is a lost of ressource.
