His results are consistent with my 8x Zotac 750 Ti's on Win7. Note that in my testing there was no need for the BIOS power mod since it yielded no increase hashrate or stability, just extra power consumption. My overclocking is +135 core, +600 mem on all 8 cards.

Wait really? It should mine better if I disabled one of my 780's? -_-

I guess I can test it when I get home and flip one of the dip switches on the RIVE

Yeah that does make a difference, looks like Christian is working on fixing that though.

When Cudaminer does this, attempting to mine afterwards results in a very very low hashrate. Is there anyway to resolve this without having to reboot the computer?

Well apparently Windows 8 has issues with ones that aren't driving displays because the one driving the display never seemed to get knocked out.  I thought it was temps or the lower pcie slots, but changing configs didn't make a difference.  So far so good after registry change.

I've also got a few on risers now so thanks for working on that fix as well.

Pretty please could you edit your post to include the exact make and model of your cards? It helps other people greatly Thank you!

I have been getting an odd error with the latest version 2014-02-18

It doesn't happen right away, but after a few hours of running.

I have reverted to cudaminer-2013-12-18 which doesn't exhibit this issue.

For both versions I am using x64 version.

I run via a bat file that just says:
cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u USERNAME -p x

I'm running a 3960x with 16gb of ram. The only thing that could possibly be causing issues I've got all 4 slots populated with 780's. Don't know if that would make a difference or not.

I think many people will set up their proxy in iceland...
actually if you want to mine it, p2pool from a private node is the best option. (I don't think I saw one though)

edit: I saw one, I have even compiled it few days ago... (forgot about it...)

Funny, I ran on the p2pool for something like 2 or 3 hours last friday or saturday, I still received payout from my shares...

Been trying to mine aurora since it was around diff 300.. but comepletely unable to find a stable pool .  they've gotten better but the diff is through the roof now

Guys, check out the development of auroracoin. It is poised to replaced LTC in coin market cap... (okay, the huge premine artificially inflates the market cap of course, the only tradable coins at the moment are the freshly mined ones!)

The only major risk is that the intended airdrop to Icelanders will be a major disaster. In this case, expect the coin to crash...

this will be fixed at the software level soon'ish. I will be using risers myself, so it's in my best interest to fix it.

I was using lower case T not upper case. Switching to uppercase T fixed it

6x 750 Ti's (OC'd to stable + BIOS Power Mod)
-2x Zotac Reference
-4x ASUS OC'd w/ 6-pin PCIe header
-1x ASUS OC'd w/ 6-pin PCIe header (not currently in use...someone please help me get 7 cards working on a Z87-Pro!)

4GB DDR1333

320GB HDD
6x USB3.0 x1-x16 Powered Riser Cable Assemblies

W/ Windows 8.1 , scaling past two cards was futile--even placed in x16 slots and running at PCIe 3.0 x8 for each, there was a small performance hit. With six cards in the riser cables, I could not get > 230-240kH/s from the cards...some had a hard time hitting 200Kh/s. I was not getting above 1400 kH/s. Machine was not stable enough to allow for overclocking via software tool (MSI AB).

Same HW setup w/ Ubuntu 12.04 yielded about 1600 kH/s (BIOS power mod+modest MEM CLK increase).

Same HW setup w/ WINDOWS 7, was able to individually OC with MSI AB, each card, and get ~ 1750 kH/s out of six riser'd cards. This is the closest I could get to the 1800 kH/s holy grail.

Someone mentioned about that disabling iGPU would allow for the 7th PCie slot to be utilized? That sounds interesting.

I also have witnessed the performance degradtion from using anything but a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot in that native mode. Going down to x8 makes a small hit. Forcing a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot to operate in x1 mode does cause about the same performance hit as a x1 riser.


SO there were two issues going on here...the x1 / riser performance hit....and then a WIndows 8.1 scalability issue. No idea WTF was going on with W8.1, but I'm sticking iwth W7x64 for now for sure.

Just having six cards connected + W8.1 = unstable feeling system.

Here is screen capture of W7x64 with six riser'd GTX 750 Ti's.

My feeling is that I'm leaving about 10-30 kH/s per card on the table because of x1 slots / risers.

ok, I recompiled with the SIMPLE method.
That doesn't seem to improve the hashrate.
I usually get around 300khash/s at t15x32, here I get with L1 around 200khash/s
If I change to L2, I get a somewhat better hashrate 280khash/s at t32x32 (If I remember correctly) but it is still lower than what I get with the other method.

Now that doesn't mean it won't work for other type of 780ti (the T15x24 or T15x16 doesn't work at all for me and give something around 15khash/s)

I would have a crack at it myself, but I don't compile stuff (never learnt :/). I tried autotuning and it gave me my same config that I previously posted, so I guess that's good

I'm not sure how to force the autotuner to autotune for "t kernels" only rather than either kernel. I tried setting "-l t" in the config file, but cudaminer handled it as a invalid argument and autotuned as usual (eventually giving me T15x16).

Is there something I'm missing here?

titan_kernel.cu (compute 3.5) or kepler_kernel.cu (compute 3.0)

WDDM timeout can only be disabled on non-display driving cards.

I added code to not show my folder structure, but I wasn't really expecting forward slashes to be used on Windows in the __FILE__ macro.  So currently this only works on Linux to suppress my path.

In which file is this ?
