I DID NOT BUY A CARD SHRINK WRAPPED IN A CHEAP PLASTIC SHELL--
You did. I bought a card with a cooling system that acts as I described. If you can not understand it, you were the one who bought a cheap plastic card that you don't like. You bought a swamp box in a cheap plastic shell that might melt. Tough!

It's not plastic. Swamp cooler is a type of cooling unit, you would've figured that out if you googled it... Just like randomly coming up with boyle's law after googling condensing and fluid dynamics. Actually that didn't even bring up boyle's law, not sure how you came up with that one as it doesn't even relate to what we're talking about besides loosely trying to tie it in.
While I don't have a doctorate or a degree in mechanical engineering, I do in other areas and I can smell BS a mile away. That and I actually own the card we're talking about and it does nothing like what you're talking about (including being 10c warmer then other cards from other manufacturers) while running at 100% fan speed.
there is no more talk of ccminer optimisation here for long now.
we should move to a generic nvidia mining thread, if there is one.
otherwise we can create it.
Yeah, after SP disappeared it kinda died out. There really isn't a better place though. The original CGminer thread? Could just leave it where it is. It doesn't matter if SP is around or not. Right now I'm monitoring a couple threads for a couple different distributions, Nanashi's/Genoil/Epsolyn, no one is currently really doing anything though besides Nanashi, but the thread isn't managed by him so I don't know what he's actually doing. That and he doesn't seem to be very good at fixing bugs or problems with his miner.
Other then that, no one is really making pub miners. Epsolyn makes hobby projects and doesn't really adhere to whatever is profitable, so he's out of the picture, although he finally merged the faster Lyra. Genoil I guess is waiting on the new WDDM patch/drivers for Windows sometime this month and not really working on a dual miner or speed improvements.
In other news, the shortage of 1070/1080s is 100% being caused by miners. If you look at the revenue per coin, it's been on a pretty regular downhill slop since the launch, even though BTC has actually increased in value as have a lot of the cryptos. Expect income to equalize with 970 revenue from a month ago in another month (August). IE you'll make with a 1070 what you made with a 970 a month ago in a month. And this is even before Ethereum explodes with PoS.
Happy mining -_-
