Here is what I'm getting currently on an 750ti: (a pretty weak GPU)
The fastest miner that I'm aware of averages at about 72 Sol/s on this card.

   Sol/s: 75.064927 Avg: 81.905332 Shares/s: 0.004478 luck: 0.000055  +                                                        
   Sol/s: 86.066275 Avg: 81.925931 Shares/s: 0.004455 luck: 0.000054

....

Reported Sol/s rates:
GTX 1070 MSI Armor(Micron) 340 Sol/s
1080 ti 420 Sol/s

It's different GPU architecture. Unfortunatelly now cant test GTX970 for the comparison (EWBF gives about 280-290 sol/s), try the miner as soon as possible and will post results

Nice,

so it's latency dependent. I'm not sure how much time u have. If u have some, I would compile some versions that should show where the bottleneck is. Also could u pls check the cpu usage. If u have some time for all this stuff

ofc.

Fee or nofee, open or closed source it wont make any difference because there is already open source cuda kernel, just noone is interested as of devs to improve it for free

Open source miners are dead.

Setting it to performance does provide a small increase

Could u please run another test. Set your cpu-governor to performance mode this time. The miner is highly multithreaded. Since it scales so bad compared to a 1070 - it could be due to scheduling latencies. So if u have some time pls test with cpu-scaling governor set to performance.

I'll do it if I can't get enough performance.
Give me some tries first Wink

it's the first time it runs on pascal GPUs.

If you want fee you must be faster then ewbf, else open source it

Thx, finally 1080ti

1.76 times faster. That's a much bigger difference then I expected. Not sure if it's due to design or due to optimization. I'll have to take a closer look at pascal manuals.
Also it seems not to scale compared to a 1070.

I get about 740 Sol/s using EWBF

Thx a lot.

Actually that looks good, since I've never tested it on pascal class GPUs so there is zero optimization for them. So it looks really good.

What column in the output did u use when reading my Sol/s? "Avg" or "Sol/s"?
Concerning the --dev option. Currently only one GPU per process is supported, however u could start different processes for different GPUs.

Just finished benching(Couldn't find out how exactly to use --dev to enable all gpus, tried 012345 then 0,1,2,3,4,5 then 0 1 2 3 4 5 and still only one enabled)

GTX 1070 MSI Armor(Micron)
core +125 , mem+750

your miner: 340Sol/s
ewbf: 410Sol/s
ccminer/nicehash miner: 370Sol/s

A source code would be greatly appreciated.

Oh

I wrote it a bit confusing. The second fastest is actually the fastest I could find. I called it second fastest because it's slower then mine miner. I've edited my posts now. Wink

Why do you always compare with the second fastest?
Which one is the fastest one and how much sol does it give on a 750ti?

Quarx2k That would be really a great benchmark.

Unfortunately it's currently written specifically for linux and uses direct OperatingSystem calls to be as fast as possible, to have very low cpu usage and to consume energy as little as possible. However if people are interested in a Windows version I'll port it. First we have to check how it performs on something faster then a 750ti

However my test are very promising.

dstm, can you please compile for windows? I can test with 1080 TI

I've done some comparisons now. It seems there are not that many cuda miners out there.
The fastest miner that I'm aware of averages at about 72 Sol/s on the GPU I've mentioned in the OP.

Ah, I see. Malware seem to be a huge problem on this forum. I took a look for a description to setup a VM quickly. It seems it not that easy. PCI/GPU-Passthrough seems to be very hardware dependent - not that easy to setup. I've really no good idea how to provide security for you, without opening the source. Well I guess someone has to try it out and report. Sry, but I have no better ideas for this.

It's clean. It does only one thing, it mines ZEC.
Launch it in a VM and monitor everything u can to get confident.

Scans clean with ESET, but dammit there's alot of new malware thats undetectable too... :/

no source you would share just for quick perusal eh? Sad

why the brand new account? you wrote a zcash miner but NEVER made an account here ever? :/
