my sia preview is almost ready, but for now only for suprnova... 1GH/s on 970
Will it work on solo , also Smiley

The 3.5GB partition has been known for a couple years now. It hasn't ever effected mining. However there has never been a algo that has filled 4GB of memory on these cards, so Ethereum will probably be the first if there is one... But considering they aren't super amazing in Eth to begin with and Eth going PoS in a couple months, it's not going to ever happen.

Some algos like Neoscrypt/scrypt-jane and at least a couple others can fill 4GB and then some if you increase the intensity.

oh? wonder if the 8GB GTX 10 series might be able to make good use of tat. AFAIK they are good, but not mindblowing, at neoscrypt. definitely not as profitable as lbry/lyra2/lyra2r2

Yeah... Scrypt... Yeah.... >>

Neoscrypt you never mine at those intensities as it causes crashing.


In other news, ANYONE working on a Steem GPU miner? Hit me up with a message and I'll buy in on it for a 'preview' build, similar to Epsylons.

and had one for the 970
Anybody know why plz?  On the 970.  thx

From the same thread:

Reasons:

Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that the GTX 970 devices were sold based on misleading representations that the devices:

1. Operate with a full 4 gigabytes (“GB”) of video access memory (“VRAM”) instead of the actual 3.5 GB of VRAM and a “less performant” and decoupled 0.5 GB spillover segment that operates as slow as one seventh the speed of the 3.5 GB pool once the device is required to access more than 3.5 GB of memory
2. have 64 render output processors (“ROPs”), as opposed to 56 ROPs
3. have an L2 cache capacity of 2,048 kilobytes (“KB”), as opposed to 1,792 KB, and omitted material facts to the contrary.
4. Defendants have denied these allegations and asserted numerous defenses.
Thx bathrobehero.
So this could lead to instabilities?
I have 2 980ti and 2 970gtx. Wonder if I can get $ for that?

I have no idea on any of those fronts. I never had any issues with my WF3OC 970's for mining or gaming. Not even when using more than 3.5 GB memory.

I basically love everything about these cards.
Thx
I hate these cards clocks locked at 1400 and just loves to crash.
Tomorrow going to try to set the clocks to where their supposed to be see if that helps.

Hi pallas
For some reason ccminer (all versions) does not seems to detect the new driver i get:


Can you confirm you are actually using the new proprietary nvidia driver and not the open source nouveau?
Did you install from the repository or use the run file?

I have Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 14.4 so I'm very interested in this issue.
In mint there is a driver manager with one click switching to the proprietary driver. It still shows the
old 352 version as recommended and I haven't found 367 packaged for Ubuntu 14.4 yet.

Hi
The driver IS working properly, I also had parts of older drivers 349 and 352, that i had to weed out  Grin
i can see the card specific status, i can set power target limit.
i installed using repositories (ppa:graphics-drivers) so far it seems to be the only way to install from repo, since the driver is in beta.
also to get cuda 8 i had to register as a developer in nvidia  Shocked
it seems that this driver requires CUDA 8, I thought that maybe i can test first with cuda 7.5 and then install cuda 8 and see the difference, but no, this driver requires cuda 8 to work, so right now i'm installing it (it takes like an hour or so install it on a flash drive) I'll post results later Smiley

using the run file for months and didn't have any issue.
of course you must reinstall it every time a new kernel version is booted.

Hello
as anyone be able to use ccminer with the GTX 1070 ?, i installed the new drivers 367 (xubuntu 14.04 x64) nvidia-smi works perfectly and I can set power target, but ccminer won't load.
i tried sp's ccminer, tpruvot's ccminer and same, it won't load.

i'm still with CUDA 7.5 (i have cuda 8 ready but i didn't install it yet because i wanted to test how it went first with 7.5 but it does not load.

both compiled from source after the driver install.
was anyone able to make it work under linux?

Yes it worked right away for me.
I just updated the driver for pascal support.
Even the old binaries worked without recompile.
Nothing different.

There is one realllly big miner that I've seen hop on and off of Lbry the past couple days. Somewhere around 300GH. I think there is another one around 200GH that is constantly on the coin I saw pop off once.
