Guys, forgive this stupid question but can AMD catalyst 14.6 (or some component of it) somehow improve the hashrate of our beloved gtx750ti 's ?

I just get so confused with all the updated / macho'ed up miners. I can't figure out if, when people post in the forums, they refer to just AMD seeing improvement, or nvidia somhow benefit as well.

Related question: Wat's the current best gtx750ti hashrates for x11 , x13 , and jha atm? I'm still running my miners at x11=2.55mhs, x13=2.05mhs, and jha=5.5mhs

Thanks in advance! Smiley

That depends on your cpu a lot. I have 3 750tis mining and my display card (780) and get no lag atall. Hell i even watch movies while it mines. And my sister has been known to play minecraft while its mining as you get better fps

Yeah... I mined your mom last night.
Can I use the gpu-inside-i7 4770 as video output instead of the 750ti.It is so laggy when mining.

you SHOULD be able to.

But in my experience, even if you mine with just 1 gpu, and leave the other, regardless of the manufacturer, it STILL lags the desktop.

I had an AMD card as my main display, while I had 2 560ti cards as my mining cards, and the desktop STILL lagged.

Minor update + Win binary: https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases

No longer wasting CPU cycles on busy waiting, some checks on the initial memory allocations before getting to work and per device launch settings.

Seems like we have a lot of Win 8 users with problems, but apparently it works for some. It is a mystery, my money is still on hitting TDR. If that's the case http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946 will provide a workaround. It's not pretty but increasing the timeout from the default 2 seconds to something like 5 seconds shouldn't hurt anyone. The real fix would be breaking up the kernel into smaller pieces that are run in sequence as opposed to one huge kernel that does the whole hash in one go and takes near forever (well, over 2 seconds) to do it. Looking into that, should be relatively easy. A compute 2.0/2.1 version shouldn't be too hard either but I'm not sure if they're going to perform too well and worse than bad is... very bad? Smiley


Don't care if they perform as well as a 750ti. We don't really expect them to.

However, comparitively, a 750ti is supposed to be around the same compute performance, if not better... than the R9-270/270x/7850/7870 AMD card family.
I have 2x 7870 cards, that get 340h/s each overclocked to 1200/1250 (gpu/mem). I also get 125h/s out of an old 1156 Xeon X3460.

I would expect a new GPU like a 750ti with compute 5.0 capability to outperform a 5-6yr old CPU that doesn't have AES-NI. Tongue

I'm sure cbuchner1 could chime in here... and help a brother out.

Great job with porting it over, now it's time to polish and refine. Tongue

Let's show Claymore that closed-source is not the way to go!



Oh... btw. I'll donate 10% each cryptonote currency that I mine for a month if you get a 2.0/2.1 version out for Windows out soon! Smiley

Has anyone made any improvements to the cryptonite algo for ccminer? I was able to get like 10 more hash with an different kernel but that's it...

"Someone" knows the answer in improving hashrate  Cool

I haven't looked at the CryptoNight code at all but I'm curious how we arrived at 8x40 or 8x60 configs?
Why this size block and why 2MB per block?

If each bock is about 2MB then 8x40x2=640 while 8x60x2=960

Can anyone share how this relates to the 640 shaders we have and the 128 bit bus of the 750TI?
Could/should this be better optimized to match the hardware?

I know my kepler cards that won't run ccminer/CryptoNight have more shaders and a higher bus so I doubt this has anything to do with the current problem with these cards and CryptoNight code.
It would seem that is has to do with the code used for version cuda version 3 vs 3.5!?!?

Just wondering, but for kicks has anyone tried to compile ccminer only for version 3 and running this on the 750TI to see if it flakes out like the kepler cards do?

I could be totally off on all counts and ideas here.  Was just thinking and figured I throw this out.

Any enlightenment from anyone would be appreciated.

Quick advice I left my XMR wallet open for one day and I got for 100GB of bandwith during that time. My internet quota is busted until the 14 of July. XD

Nice  Cool It's more of a warning.

Crytonight still have a very long way to go.

msi nvidia 570 92 khash/s
not bad on X15

err, you quoted a posting from page 1?

BTW it seems the clone wars have already begun. amazon spot prices are through the roof.

Christian

that strange, I am pretty sure, I was on that page when I quoted that (and was wondering on what he was running) Grin

...so all by yourself you have been able to make amazon raise its price  Grin

I so wish I had made this thread self moderated. I would just put a blanket ban on cloud mining related discussion.

I am in the cloud. And then I let it rain Wink

Why do I keep thinking "Star Wars" when I hear the term cloud mining?

I've made some quick calcs and its not yet "profitable" (maybe i am wrong) we still need your magic! (or tsiv's) :-)

Please let me know if you like me to hold the AWS guide.

don't know making lots of clone instances ?

and soon we'll be fighting the clone wars.
