Example for Litecoin Mining on coinotron pool with GTX 660 Ti

cudaminer -d gtx660ti -l K28x32 -C 2 -i 0 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O workername:password

Anyone else getting infinite "result does not validate on CPU" errors with this settings?
I have an Asus GTX 660Ti OC

you are not alone, I have the same problems with my GTX770, cannot find a setting without validation errors ...

Anyone been able to get a evga gtx780ti with acx cooling to 640khash?

Highest I can get is around 400. I'm just guessing different values now. But the old version could get very close to 650
cudaminer -a scrypt:2048 -d gtx780ti -H 1 -l t15x16 -C 2 -i 0

For vertcoin getting 181khash/sec. The gpu reaches 1.1Ghz when running cudaminer. I should be getting over 650. With the old version gpu would only get up to around 1000mhz. So now I'm getting 100 more mhz but very bad hash rates.

Difficult to understand if you are speaking about scrypt, scrypt:2048 or both...
Anyhow, on vertcoin I use t15x32, and I get around 320khash/sec (pointless though...)

Start at T15x24 and scale the x24 down by 1 till you find the best fit for you. T15x16 was the best for me, other with 780ti's was T15x20...

ICO? Not even once.

I'm getting real sick of google and the way it can't handle a spreadsheet. 352 lines and 50 users and it's dead.

It keeps disconnecting me, reverting changes I made, giving errors, etc.

Anybody have a recommendation what alternatives are out there to replace this =/%! piece of +!%/?

2014-02-04: all three of my GPUs run in one instance now. Autotune is much better also. It found optimal settings for my 660ti (K7x32), and was almost optimal for my 660ti SC (only 15 khash/s short of what K7x32 can do).

I posted a new release 2014-02-04 fixing two important bugs.

- autotune underreporting kHash/s values if the kernel finished in under 50ms (forgot to divide time elapsed by number of measurements, doh!)
- Multi-GPU support was not working - it is now.

OMG at last!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

28x32 is a big number. Try 7x32 or 14x32 maybe...

So i broke something. Hopefully someone can enlighten me to where my problem lies (other than in the chair)

Please keep in mind i make no claim to knowing what the hell i'm doing, but only one way to learn, right?

2 670 GTXs, not in sli, sep .bat files for each, x64 cudaminer

On VTC, K7x32 was producing ~133kh per card. After tinkering with some different kernals received cuda error 30 and display driver crashed. Rebooted and went back to K7x32 but that now produced cuda error 30 and a crash. Reinstalled cuda and vid drivers and was able to use K7x32 with same results (133/per). Once again tinkered with different kernals (using WHQL driver instead of beta this time to see if there was any difference) and received cuda error 30 etc etc but this time a cuda/driver reinstall didn't fix issue.

Currently running K7x20 with 155kh on one card and 135 on the other atm, but what did i break exactly and how?

maybe the x32 config is at the limits of what the WDDM graphics card driver will allow you to allocate. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Leave away any -m1 or -C 1/2 options or reduce the x32 to something slightly smaller e.g. x30, x28

Settled on K7x24 for now getting 160kh/157kh. Pulling m and C seemed to be the big factor. Thanks!

Anything else I could check?

what device nodes starting with nvidia are in your /dev folder? only the nvidiactl node or also a node representing a GPU?

is the nvidia kernel module loaded?

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# ls -lh /dev/nvidia*

[2014-02-04 15:08:32] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

creating the nvidia device nodes manually may be required.

see here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.msg4750585;topicseen#msg4750585

Thanks for a fast reply!!

I've already tried. With this configuration:

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# cat ./nvidia_nodes
#!/bin/bash
timestamp=`date`
modprobe nvidia-uvm

if [ ! -c /dev/nvidiactl ]
then
   echo "Server $HOSTNAME device files re-created at $timestamp"

   # Count the number of NVIDIA controllers found.
   N3D=`lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "3D controller" | wc -l`
   NVGA=`lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "VGA compatible controller" | wc -l`

   N=`expr $N3D + $NVGA - 1`
   for i in `seq 0 $N`; do
   mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidia$i c 195 $i;
   done
   mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255
else
   echo "Files exists"
   exit 1
fi

... and this result:

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# ./nvidia_nodes
Files exists

Anything else I could check?

Hi, I have a problem and I'm out of ideas of how to fix it. The cudaminer gives me this error:

Code:

[2014-02-04 15:08:32] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

I have CUDA installed:

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2013 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Wed_Jul_17_18:36:13_PDT_2013
Cuda compilation tools, release 5.5, V5.5.0

And the Nvidia Driver updated:

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# nvidia-settings -v
nvidia-settings: version 331.38 (buildmeister@swio-display-x64-rhel04-15) Wed Jan 8 19:53:03 PST 2014

I've already searched the forum and I'm sure I
- have correctly installed autoconf and automake
- first run autogen.sh, then configure and the make.
- have the path for CUDA to work correctly exported system wide

I've been dealing with this for more than a day so any suggestions are welcome!!

[ps]

Code:

[root@fedora cudaminer]# uname -a

1024 would get me ~280 with best results from Y14x20
2048 it's ~133 with the best results from K7x32

isn't Y an alias for K? Wink

Actually, it's funny you mention that. If i try to run Y7x32, it fails horribly aand crashes the driver

according to the code, it shouldn't crash.... K and Y really do the same thing.

Code:

            switch (kernelid)
            {
                case 'T': case 'Z': *kernel = new NV2Kernel(); break;
                case 't':           *kernel = new TitanKernel(); break;
                case 'K': case 'Y': *kernel = new NVKernel(); break;
                case 'k':           *kernel = new KeplerKernel(); break;
                case 'F': case 'L': *kernel = new FermiKernel(); break;
                case 'f': case 'X': *kernel = new TestKernel(); break;
                case ' ': // choose based on device architecture
                    *kernel = Best_Kernel_Heuristics(props);
                break;

After tinkering some more K7x32 isn't working. Has to be something on my end. There's a seperate 670 in another machine that's happily hashing away with K7x32, but now the 670s won't. Going to reinstall drivers/cuda and see if anything changes
