Is there a way to change the default version of a particular miner that is being downloaded?
In particular, Z-enemy-1.22 is still defaulting to the CUDA 9.1 version instead of CUDA 10.0.
I'm familiar with the "Upload custom software" tool, but the 1st time I used it, I had to RDP to each miner to add an exception to the virus scanner for ..\AppData\Local\AwesomeMinerService, in addition to the exception I previously added for ..\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMinerService. This can be a pain with more than a dozen Managed Miners.
I looked under Manages Software Z-enemy nVidia Miner, and noted the download URL is
https://s3.amazonaws.com/awesomeminer-download/z-enemy.1-22-cuda9.1_x64.zip. So I took a look here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/awesomeminer-downloadBut only the cuda9.1 versions of Z-enemy are there, so I figured putting in a custom Download URL reflecting the CUDA 10 version would not have worked.
Anyway, just curious if there's a better way to accomplish this than having to resort to using the Upload customer software tool.
Thanks for your feedback.
My understanding is that CUDA 10.0 is supported on quite old GPU's as well. The main issue is that everyone is not running with the latest driver versions which is a requirement. I know from the past that if I include a later version of mining software with latest CUDA, I do get at number of upset support messages about the new version is breaking the mining - even if it's stated in the release notes.
Already today Awesome Miner supports displaying the AMD and nVidia driver version on the Summary tab. Maybe the solution is to highlight this even more and give more visible indications if you run with too old driver versions. Then we can include the latest CUDA 10.0 versions of the mining software while still trying to minimize the issue with users running with older driver versions.
nVidia do have a list of required driver versions for each CUDA release:
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.htmlWould that be a good way forward? I'm actually very open to suggestions here.
To solve your specific request, I've made this URL available:
