What do ya know...ccminer.exe compile worked. Next question....what do I delete now...everything in that dir or do I keep it.

Thank you again....think I'll copy those instructions and save 'em someplace.

That was fast. You only really need ccminer.exe. You can delete the rest of the tree.

Edit: For the really addventurous you can also compile in a VM. The only difference is don't
install the drivers with cuda. Probably shouln't do that in any case if you already have
newer drivers already iinstalled. I do that on a linux host because that system has the fastest cpu.

As I said in an earlier post, I've tried to compile in the past, but I musta missed a step or something. Your explanation was very good, easy to follow. Already had the needed programs installed. I tired it with git-work ( or whatever it is) a few times also..didn't work out well. I've saved the instructions...we'll see if I can get it to work, in the future. Thanks....

edit: now if I could just find out what the difference is between scryptN, scryptNf (same or not), and blake, blake2b (same or not)? And do those use the same miner setup? It gets confusing when the names are so close. Angry

scrypt is good old scrypt with n factor of 1
scrypt-N uses double the memory per hash and this is fixed.(n factor fixed at 2)
scrypt-N factor has changing/increasing memory requirement with time and you have to change your .bat every time as GPU's memory is fixed.(N factor 2-16 with time, most i have seen)

Does this help? I dont know about blake.

Hmmm no.
Plain scrypt has an n-factor of 10.
Scrypt-n, as in vertcoin and many others, starts at 11 and goes up with time (see the vertcoin thread).
Scrypt with adaptive n-factor, or scrypt-jane, like in yacoin, has a different algorithm for the n-factor and different hash.

OK ? Back to my question.....are these algos able to be mined with ccminer (/w adjustments)? And does something similar go on /w the 2 blake algos. I don't think I'll ever mine any of them (/w the exception of scrypt) but it would be nice to know if I could.

Some....does that mean that they can be mined with the same program (ie, ccminer), but you have to use the 'switches' to adjust for the (sounds like) slight differences (mem requirements) in algo?

Anyone using some 960s? What are you getting for Quark/X11/Neo?
I assume ccminer doesn't scale and needs to be tailored to each cards gen.

you can get 10mhash if you overclock. With standard clocks around 9.2 Mhash

GTX 960--

Mining Quark, I get 10.5Mh/s with +80mhz/240mhz core/mem on the 2gb 960 SSC card with default intensity. It runs on Win 7 x64.

--scryptr

Thanks for the replies, so it's pretty much on par with it's price point ($200 vs $300 970).

Still looks like the 750tis are the best buy, but they suck balls for density.

Does it pay to OC memory at all? It doesn't seem like memory clocks matter at all with Nvidia compared to AMD.

I can tell you that on my 750Ti...what you do with the mem clock matters quite a bit. Surprisingly, I underclock the mem on 1 of my settings to keep it stable.
