Yes, BUYBUYBUY for only 0.005BTC each! Get them while they are still low!
sooo you were the one who was selling 1963hex for 13btc...
Maybe... Roll Eyes I lowered though, silly people dumping, I want to dump!

MINE MAX, HELIX WITH THE 2014-02-28 release.

For keccak, use the T kernel now for Compute 3.5 devices. Careful, its warp limit is 24 not 32.

My GTX 750 Ti makes 164 MHash/s   << this is the new keccak ACE CARD.
My GTX 780 now breaks 200 MHash/s at 80% TDP.  YEAH BABY!

Thanks to Alexey for the submission, even though he bungled up the ROL macro at the first
attempt, which is why we didn't make the Helixcoin launch Wink

MINE MAX, HELIX WITH THE 2014-02-28 release. Also use this for improved Yacoin performance.

For keccak, use the T kernel now for Compute 3.5 devices. Careful, its warp limit is 24 not 32.

My GTX 750 Ti makes 164 MHash/s   << this is the new keccak ACE CARD.
My GTX 780 now breaks 210 MHash/s at 80% TDP.  YEAH BABY!

EDIT: my desktop PC now has a combined keccak power of 555 MHash/s.
GTX 780, 2 GTX 750 Ti, 1 GT 640 (GK208). And none of this is overclocked very high.
I wish I've had that at the Maxcoin launch.

hm, any idea why they seem to run better in 16x slots and poorly on risers? Doesn't seem to make a difference for AMD cards..
hmm the crashrate of the r9 290x on riser is pretty high (but still better than the gtx780ti which vomitted lines of errors when I tried to put it on a riser)

I've now got 6 750 Ti's running on Win8 x64. I'm pretty disappointed.

1 Cards, OC'd, in x16 slot (running at x16): 320-330 kH/s [Total of 320-330 kH/s]
2 Cards, OC'd, in 2 x16 slots (each running at x8): 300 kH/s each  [Total of ~600KH/s]
4 Cards, OC'd, running on x1-x16 risers (each running at x1): ~270-280 each [Total of ~1100 kH/s]
6 Cards, stock, running on x1-x16 risers (each running at x1): 230-240 each (one runs at ~210 and is operating at PCIe 1.1 x1...whereas all the other cards are running at PCIe 2.0 x1) [Total of ~1430kH/s]

I haven't been able to get 7 Cards to show up in Windows...figure that it could be a MoBo/BIOS address space limitation.

I can't really apply any overclock at all when I have 6 cards loaded. MSI AB, GPU-Z, etc., all feel a little unstable when using. Applying even just +100MHz to MEMCLK will cause cudaminer to crash.

I have also noticed that my little G3220 is way too puny to run -H 1 flag.

Here are the flags I'm running -H 2 -i 0 -l T25x16

Will I see improved scaling in Ubuntu with cudaminer?

I'm thinking of returning all of these cards because 230 kH/s per card is not so great. If I was even hitting 280, I'd maybe be able to swallow this.

What is the primary factor here causing a scalability issue? Is it the PCIe operating mode? Is it Windows 8? Is it the Nvidia Driver? Is cudaminer not written to scale well past 4 GPUs?

Yes, I did try running 2 or 4 cards each in a separate cudaminer instance. While the system stability improved, the results yielded the same aggregate hash rate, and any attempts to boost any clocks cause a quick cudaminer crash.

If I can't get more out of these cards by Monday, I'll have to send them back to Newegg. Sad

Am I misunderstanding something? With:

1 Cards, OC'd, in x16 slot (running at x16): 320-330 kH/s [Total of 320-330 kH/s]
2 Cards, OC'd, in 2 x16 slots (each running at x8): 300 kH/s each  [Total of ~600KH/s]
4 Cards, OC'd, running on x1-x16 risers (each running at x1): ~270-280 each [Total of ~1100 kH/s]

That's 7 cards (with OC) at best case 292KH/s ave, or 285KH/s ave? More than the 280 you said you might be able to swallow? Are you factoring in power usage into your valuation of the cards? It seems they use even less than first thought.

I've got 5 x Gigabyte 750 Ti waiting to plug into a Win 7 x64 system but I need risers before I get going, so I'm very interested in the experiences and thoughts of yourself and j0achim (and indeed any others with 5+ cards in a single rig!).

Banned: For Your Protection

Here's a noob question that my google-foo doesn't seem to be able to help with. How in the heck (with any given coin) do you figure out what the main server/ports are to Solo mine? I would like to try this on a new coin for the first ~1-2 hrs, cause I like the lottery aspect of it! lol! That's how I got my first 96 Max Coins, and it was kind of a rush. Luckily somebody posted a how-to for max, and listed server/ports - but I never see these listed in the launch pages of the coins.

TIA!  Smiley
The wallet runs a server (server=1 in conf file) on your computer (localhost or 127.0.0.1) or local network on the port you choose (rpcport=).
Now you can also check on which port it runs by default using the task manager and resource monitor.


I wanted to thank you (djm34) for taking the time to answer my question. Once I looked at the old maxcoin.conf file I figured it out. I had thought that I was missing something, because everytime I tried firing up my solo Max.bat, it wouldn't connect. But you got me to re-think that. Thank you! Been solo mining Helix since it started rolling. Haven't found anything yet, but that's a different story.

Again, Thanks!

Not really no. Some very low scrypt cards can get surprisingly high keccak numbers.

would you have any examples for scrypt duds & keccak ace cards?

Christian


LOL sometimes this world is like learning another language. What are scrypt duds and keccak ace cards?! I googled "keccak ace" and this thread was the only real result Tongue
dud = bad
ace = awesome
Got that out of the context Smiley

You should continue to solomine, you will never be able to get to 2000 on a pool
Yeah, solo would take some years now!

Bummer, it looks like I only got like 20 some coins on 1500 mh/s of power
Funny, I got 1963 with just 164mhash... sorry I am bragging

your the lucky one, but are they worth anything? :p right now, nope

He's asking for a specific example of a card that sucks on scrypt but is awesome on keccak like you mentioned in your post. You high?  Wink
