do you have a 970 test for every algo, or x algo at least?

Yesterday I improved Simd. Compress1 and compress2 can run in the same block on the maxwell,reduced the size of the constmem tables. (24 bit multiplication is faster on the maxwell). X11 seems to go 20-50KHASH faster on the 750ti, but slower on compute 3.5 and below devices.  The sourcecode is commited to github.

I am going to merge 1.4.9 with my kernal changes soon. Release 9 will work with the latest drivers and will be based on 1.4.9/1.5.0 with API support, Intensity parameter and bugfixes.

Travis, what the heck man...
The dude said - "...won't invest... ...not worth it."
Definition of invest: expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit
And while we all agree the 980 is a great card overall  - it is not a good subject to invest in.
It's a very good thing to spend your money on though.
So if you are talking about investing with the intent to gain fun instead of profit,
that is not investing, but spending. Which I like to do too.
If your nitpicking is caused solely because you had time to "invest",
please do it somewhere else and let whoever has a comment for
"CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP" to post it here.

Oh, and if you want your post to be the last in the 980 investment discussion please do it
and let us chat and wait for the next modded ccminer in peace.
I wasn't nitpicking anything.  It was meant as somewhat of a joke, since most gamers consider all their gaming hardware to be investments.
Lighten up, man.  Tongue

thanks for the clarification dear mod  Roll Eyes
but I think everybody is entitled to his own opinion (and actually you are the one nitpicking...)

Make it worth the wait.  Then game your brains out after ROI.  First, kick some AMD biscuits.  Just for the thrill of it...

p.s.  tpruvot appears to be adapting some cgminer code for monitoring the nVidia cards.       --scryptr

With ccminer v7 from DJm34 I have an average of:
x11 = 2605 Khash

With ccminer by SP_ release 8 I have an average of:
X11 = 2800 Khash

That's a 195 Khash average difference. It wont make me any richer but it is always welcome Cheesy

You should try the 980. Up from 7MHASH to 9. 30% faster.

Naaa, wont invest in any GPU anymore. Not worth it.
Unless you're a gamer.  Then the 900 series is very worth it.  Grin

This is a mining forum....
I know.  The point is, if you're a gamer, then the 900 series is worth it, because they'll play your games very well, and they also mine very well when you're not currently gaming.

Some of the bugs have been removed in the the Tvpouvet release that I forked. I will probobly refork. My focus is on the kernals, and only 50% of the kernals of x11 have been modded in the opensource.

I just recompiled with yesterdays NVIDIA driver (344.75) There seems to be a hashincrease on the 750ti of around 30KHASH.


You are talking about this: https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer ?

yes, When I do a refork, only some of the kernals will be different. On github alot of good changes and bugfixes have been done in 1.4.9. API support as well.
Makes it worth the upgrade

Kernals are beeing merged up to the head branch by tvpouvet. 1.4.9 and this mod based on 1.4.6 share the same optimalizations.
There is a small difference though. 1.4.9 has improved the throughput settings in the kernals. I need to do a refork, and redo launchbounds tweaks for 1.4.9.


So it means you'll make use of his API too? I'm busy writing a .NET app that monitors your cudarigs with his API, with detailed stats etc, so that would be nice for comparisons Smiley

No improvement with GTX 970 whatsoever over 1.4.9.
Or maybe there was no such intended?

EDIT: Just looked at Echo again. Quite well done, I tip my hat.

Instead of doing 10 rounds of echo, I do 9.25 rounds. This is because most of the first round is done on constant input. But someparts of round2 can also be precalculated... More boost is expected.
To be continued.
