gpu aren't that good for plotting, one i7 4790k can compare with a 290x for 200w less consumption, a no-brainer

oh really how much nonce / minutes it writes?
compared to google cloud it can produce about 7800 nonce / minutes, how much for gpu ?

7800 for the 4970k? someone early said that his 290x can plot 1tb in 3.30 hours

we have a 2:1 ratio then, still the gpu consume more per time

1tb plots are 4194304 nonce.
3.5h are 12600 seconds.
12600 seconds are 210 minutes.
4194304 nonce / 210 minutes are 19972 nonce per minute.

yeah i know, still x3 the cosumption vs 2.5 the nonce lol

can anyone explain why 1tb hdd gets 1 payment from cryptoport of 250 where a 300gb got 5 payments plus 3000 burst 10 mins after setting up rewards in wallet. .... is pool broken

wow!
whats your address? both for 1tb and 300gb

how many TB on your pool?

The next version should work on both NVIDIA an AMD cards. Still need some test but sounds promising.

Can't wait, and bravo for the work you are doing.

How much memory do you have in your GPU?
The most I can gen @ is 3000 on a higher end card.

The lower end ones with 1GB constantly fail with the error posted above.

It's a 3GB R9 280x... Undecided

Hi guys,

I am aware of this issue. The fact is that I have to create two full size buffers on the GPU side to reduce thread-local memory consumption. Thus the memory amount needed on the CPU side has to be doubled to get an estimate of what is needed on the GPU side.
As an example, for a stagger size of 4000 you will need 1GB RAM on CPU side and more than 2GB (exactly (PLOT_SIZE + 16) x stagger) on GPU side (doesn't include here the local buffers and the kernel code itself).
Once I have a stable version (really soon Grin

), I will work on this particular problem.

Please, consider also to test a version for nvidia cards! Afaik there isn't yet a user that was able to start the plot generator on nvidia gpus

The next version should work on both NVIDIA an AMD cards. Still need some test but sounds promising.

I'm down to be a tester with a HD7970, HD6950 2GB and HD6970. This 16TB is going take a long time to plot anyway, about 30+ days on a old Core i5 750 with all 4 thread plotting.

it seems too low for a 16 core, my i5 4670k is at 4500/min

Maybe the 280x and 290x memory system works/handles better with the plotter compared to hd7970/7990, that why it kind of work on those cards.

Maybe it's not just the card. I am running the same card (R9 290) and similar specs to the 1 or 2 reported working gpu plotters. However I can not get mine to start plotting as the .exe crashes.

I've tried various definitions for the batch file and various driver versions with and without SDK.

There is something else I am missing and until I find it I will sit here and stare at my screen :/

just woke up...
checking forum...
people freak out ...
checking here and there...
nothing wrong
except for that wrong block height, because i am updating whole 8 wallets for pools
checking again
oh we dont found any block for 8 hours
checking again
yeaa we found a block!
payments working without any problem...
waiting again
yaaayy we found a block again...
can i sleep again?

Yes if you give me my 4000 burst

Check you last 10 post from you pool.....all not recievement payment.
We're all mad?

oh..?
why is that 4k burst?

Previous 24 hours i recieved about 4100 burst with almost 4t.
Today only 750.
I was thinking something wrong with my miner.
Have checked forum and other users complain same stuff today about payments.

So, please check your pool. Mayne something is working not properly.

yeah me too...!
i dont receive any payment for past 12 hours with almost 24TB..
what a freaking day...

how many tb are mining at the pool?
my longest break between blocks has been 8 hours for 150 tb plots.
have to check how much i actual have cause plotting still continued since i last checked a few days ago Cool

Could the issues we are having be a w7 thing? I see people with 8.1 are getting it to work, but two rigs I know of with 13.x and w7 64 arent working. Says gpu not detected....

Anyone know why I'd be getting a "[WARN] No GPU Device found" error when trying to use the GPU miner? My r9 280X is definitely there... AMD APP SDK v2.9 and Catalyst 14.4

https://i.imgur.com/yeJqHzM.png

I have the same. Do you have GPU on the motherboard?

I upgraded from Windows 8 x64 to Windows 8.1 x64 and the problem disappeared.

I just (well, for the last few hours ) created 2 x 100GB plot files using the dcct plotter, and afterwards used the merge tool on them. I was under the impression, that the resulting file name should be:

ID_STARTNONCE_ENDNONCE_STAGGER

now, the files seem to not contain the end nonce, but the number of nonces instead:

ID_STARTNONCE_NUMBEROFNONCES_STAGGER

does that matter in any way? the range checker did not report any issues, but showed the total size correct. also, the dcct miner did show the correct size, but resulted extremly high deadlines (already using the new version from http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/howto.html). Using the java miner seem to work better, but I can't verify that the complete files are used.
