Are we finding x11 very profitable right now?
Can anyone post their income per MH on which coin?

Im still getting 5 blocks a day solo'ing jackpot coin so my income right now is still almost 0.01BTC for 3 750Ti's

Looks to be about 0.002 - 0.0025 per 750Ti based on calcs. Not sure how power use compares to jackpot as I've not tried mining it. Beats YAC and SRC for set and forget for sure! With improved performance it will be brilliant.

Just wish faster Maxwell cards were out. My SLI 670s are due an upgrade... Wouldn't hurt to mine too hehe

Christian,

Thanks for the rapid support you give on this forum and the talent you share with us.

I finally managed to get your ccminer v1.0 running on my Xubuntu 13.10 Linux box with two GT640 (Yes, yes, I know, lame hardware but it's all that will fit in the case I have right now and at least it's cc 3.5. My 8 RAID-10 drive carriages impose on the space that would otherwise give room to full size graphics cards). I did so by first enabling "nVidia 3.19 updates" which is 3.19.60, adding the aaron-haviland cuda 5.5 PPA, installing cuda 5.5.22 from the repos then compiling.

Mining BTQ I'm getting about 845Kh/s/thread or 1.69 Mh/s total. Now that I have it running, is there any way to tune it for better performance? NVIDIA X Server settings reports PowerMiser level 2, Graphics clock 954MHz, Memory transfer 5000MHz.

we're making extremely good progress with the SIMD hash function here

NOTE: this one hash taken 50% of your hashing time in x11 so far Wink

Christian

Yet I hear people are reprogramming old bitcoin FPGAs and LTC FPGAs to mine x11 coins, and keccak.
That wouldn't surprise me one bit, it's 100% doable with any of these new sha3 algos.

but every single algo requires a totally different configuration of FPGA gates. So the only way of doing this efficiently
is to chain several FPGAs, each one doing one or two hash functions only.

If you try to cram all algorithms onto one FPGA, you might run out of programmable gates, or you don't get a lot
of parallelism in there.

Interesting, thanks for the insight...Wonderful performance btw, if your killer x11 is 50% better than current ccminer perf, then you deserve a shitton of btc.

Weird problem.

While mining Anime Coin on a pool I show my 750ti's at about 3.2-3.5 Mh/s. But when solo mining they are only showing 88-110 kh/s each.

All I have in the bat is -a anime

Restart sytem , your driver has crashed , or something is loading your cpu to 100%

It was the cpu load at 100%.

I am going to say this to show how much of a rookie I still am.

When running the qt -server wallet it automatically went to 100%. I thought all this time it had to be at 100% in order to solo mine.

Thanks for helping though.

The 750 Ti's giving 1,6-1,7 Mhash and the 670 almost at 2 Mhash. This algo is really putting a strain on the 670. The temps went to 85 degrees and I had to drop the power target to 70%. The 670 get's an occasional does not validate on cpu error. The second Ti is refusing to play nice with the drivers again...

Official binaries?

What clocks on them?

EDIT: one instance per card helped...from 1400 to 1750.

I have two MSI's. One is at 1315 MHZ and the other 1200. Memory is on deffault. I get now 1500-1600 kHash per card. The difference because of clock speeds is minimal; around 40 khash. My config is the same as yours... Not sure why you get only 1280. I'm using separate instances for my cards if that helps.

I will test it out later with just one instance on a card... not sure if I can get 6 instances running, but maybe I can double them up.

Haven't had to run multiple instances of CCminer on anything lately...

Thank you for the input though, I will test and report back if it helps.

Can anyone with MSI cards that has had success mining X11 so far post their config please?

I could only get my MSI 750ti TF cards up to 1280 khash/s, so I must be missing something if people are getting 1600-1800 khash/s

This was with my max OC settings 1210 GPU/ 1675 MEM.

I am using ccminer 1.0, and I can use everything just the same to mine Groestlcoin, so I don't think anything has really changed on my system.

Figures I have wanted to mine DRK since I started mining, and now that the ability is here my rig hates me

Thanks for anyone posting what they know...

Here is my startup line.

ccminer50 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.suchpool.pw:3335 -u nomad1109.miner01 -p x

I even tried ccminer35 to see if there was any diff, but it was quite a bit slower.

I have a MSI TF 750ti as well. I have the core at 1375mhz and zero mem overclock and I reach 1.6 to 1.7mhs with x11. My command line (apart from the pool, uname, pwd) is the same as yours. Check task manager and make sure you don't have something that's hogging the CPU 25% and over.

I can't say I'm getting the same experience with my 670.
I get close to 2 mhash speeds as well at stock speeds. Overclocking hardly gave any performance gains.
However, the card is staying noticeably cooler than mining scrypt. Hovering around 56C with fans not exceeding 35%.

I do however also get the occasional validation error.

You are right. My 670 is cramped between two 750 Ti's, that's why it's hotter, but still never got so hot... Have to get a riser.

Anyway, does anybody else have problems with evga precision? As long as it's open I get driver chaos, chrashes and bsoods. But when I close it, everything is peaceful again. ? Undecided

Not sure if you can do custom fan curves with EVGA (i know some people like afterburner for that) but check out nvidia inspector. EXTREMELY powerful tool for driver modification and overclocking, lightweight, and not flashy at all, doesn't need an active process to work. I've never had a crash with it.

It also allows you to create settings shortcuts, so say I know exactly what voltage and clocks I want for a certain algo, I simply create a shortcut in the program, name it after the algo, and then boom. Double click shortcut, double click bat and I'm mining. I really like this since I often check my rigs from my phone and it's just easier than trying to drag sliders through chrome remote desktop or team viewer.

I kill off the front end and all the voltage regulation everytime I update the clocks and reset... pretty easy to script a 'reset.bat' for changing your settings to tailor for each coin.

Here are the commands I use.

Code:

taskkill /IM EVGAPrecision.exe /F

timeout /t 2 /nobreak > NUL

taskkill /IM EVGAVoltageTuner.exe /F

timeout /t 2 /nobreak > NUL

Hope that helps.

Yes, CCminer 1.0 can.

Hello, can someone point me to ccminer binaries link?
I found only source.
Thanks in advance.
