The as-compiled by sp_ release 45 is a nightmare on my rig, mining Quark
GTX 970
i7 4770
16GB
Win 8.1
Unsteady hashrate with -i 20, and most any other intensity setting crashes.
After a crash, the GPU goes into a low power mode and I have to restart the machine. I suspect that if I used an older version of Afterburner or Precision X that has the K-Boost button, I might be able to wake it up after the crash without restarting .
Either way, it is very buggy and that makes me
download nvidia inspector
Use bat-file with
nvidiaInspector -restartDisplayDriver
DRIVER CRASH--
I am often able to overcome a driver crash with EVGA PrecisionX 16, an overclocking utility. If you drive the card to hard, and the driver crashes, the card can be reset by turning "Boost Clock" off and on and then re-applying the clocking settings. The desktop display may also need to be reset, as well. --scryptr
Thanks scryptr. But what I just installed was TdrDelaySetTo40 that I found in nvminer zip folder. It hasn't crashed yet. But when renting hash and not able to monitor all the time I needed something to restart the miner right away. Here is the problem I was having or still maybe have.
At that time the command window was still open and if I clicked the warning window off the miner would start mining again without any problem.
thx
EDIT: This happened a lot when the stratum failed and at the goto loop. Tested it by disconnecting the ithernet.
:loop
ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark -o stratum+tcp://us-west01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me -p x -d 0,1,2
ccminer.exe -r 1 -R 5 -a quark -o stratum+tcp://us-central01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u me -p x -d 0,1,2
goto loop
