Just done some comparison for GTX970 on quark algo.  Release 61 is faster by roughly 200kH/s compared to release 57 and 58.
So probably only GTX960 is affected?

Update with same accept count. Same command line used for both.




Edit:x11 r61 better than r57 Seeing mixed results depending on algo mined.  Undecided

Still seeing a little better numbers from r57 vs r61v4 I think that's the release number for the most recent r61.
with my new tweaked command line, same flags used for both test. Do I have a magic r57 release?  Shocked   Grin  Wink

When comparing releases you should show the results with the same number of accepts in the miner. Since some cards trottle and loose performance over time.

close enough, or would you rather it be spot on?
r61v?



r57



Looks like nicehash or my internet went down just after 6am. Anyone else have that happen?

Classified 980 Ti is clocked higher in fact. So, it is not clock that would explain low speed... I also noticed high bus load (up to 40% on times), while the GTX 950 doesn't have this bus load - same algo, just number of blocks and threads are different.

Sounds like the kernal need some tuning in the threads per block

Axiom uses 2 mega of memory per single thread. This means that we are pretty much limited when it comes to number of blocks&threads that can be run on device. Also, each hash goes through 2x64k shabal256, so it takes a lot of processing time too.

I tried many possible combinations of number of threads and blocks. For GTX950, I achieved best results with 60 threads and 16 blocks. I know the numbers are 'odd'. 64 threads was not possible, since that would be too much for 2 gig onboard memory. For GTX 980 Ti, best is to use only 8 threads and 156 blocks.

Can anyone tell me how to get a multi GPU rig mining Ethereum with the ethminer-cuda? I have all Nvidia maxwell cards and have tried everything I could to get it to work.  Any thoughts?  My machines run Windows 8.1 and my .bat file is ethminer -F http://eth2.suprnova.cc:3000/pokeytex.cgar/10 --mining-threads 5

thanks in advance. - pokeytex

CUDA SWITCH--

Where is the Cuda switch "-U"?  And, at a pool, you normally need your account number, not a user name.  You need to generate an account number with Geth, the text-only command line wallet.  Check the several CryptoMining Blog articles on how to set up and run Ethminer, several have been linked on recent pages in this thread.

If you are running Windows 8.1 and have 750ti cards, you will not get optimal results, only ~1Mh/s per card.  There is a known bug.

@Pokeytex : Have you tried Genoil ethminer? If yes, which one?

@Scryptr : Here's suprnova.cc command line for ethminer

The "-U" switch specifies Cuda coding, the "-G" switch specifies OpenCl coding.  If he has nVidia cards, the "-U" switch is best.  And, I haven't tried to mine with Ethminer on Suprnova, so apologies if they have a different setup than the other Ether coin pools regarding user names.

That being said, there are several good tutorials out there for a miner to research.       --scryptr

Yep, that's a fact, I just copy suprnova's getting start line, I should had chane the -G for -U, my bad Wink


I was using -U but my shares dropped off SuprNova and then I was producing nothing.  I was messing with the settings.  My main problem is that i have (5) GPU's on the rig but only the 750ti shows up.  Does anyone know the command to get all GPU's to work?  I am using Genoil's fork of SP and Trupvot.

-U --gpu-devices 0 1 2 3 4

The spaces are required. With the --gpu-devices it works like ccminer in picking the devices

Worked for me too!

sp, any news regarding your GTX 950 ? I received mine today, tested with lyra2v2, and it is not much faster than GTX 750 Ti (only ~15%). I think there is room for improvement.
While on another hand, GTX 950 is the most efficient card for mining Axiom. 900 hps @ 60 W.
no there isn't much: mem bandwidth is the same, core count is more or less the same

But since the corecount is low, it should be possible to overclock +200 stable on the core.

I am very disappointed with 980 Ti performance, it seems as if there is some bottleneck that all maxwells share thus 2x faster cards can't get 2x hashing power.

Normally the highend cards are clocked lower than the lowend cards, and this is causing the biggest difference. Download GPU-Z and inspect the clocks. A kernal that use little or no memory will always run at max boost.

A $100 gtx 750 with 512 cuda cores can be clocked stable as high as 1500Mz on the core without extra cooling. And then it mines quark at 750ti speed. ( 6100KHASH)

Yea, mine boosts over 1350 too.

Hard to say about exact wall load, because I would need to test it separately without 980 Ti. But it was showing 75% TDP usage. Intensity didn't have much effect on it, 256*256*5 up to 256*256*12 yielded same hashing power ~5khs on lyra2v2.

Regarding Axiom, I made CUDA kernels for it and my results are these so far:
OC GTX 980 Ti ~1300 hps @ 200 W (wall)
OC GTX 960 ~800 hps @ 80 W (wall)
OC GTX 750 Ti ~350 hps @ 40 W (wall)
STOCK-OC GTX 950 ~900hps @ 60 W (wall)

I think 950 could go even higher, but with settings to reach 900hps, 2GB of ram is almost maxed out so there is simply not enough memory to do more parallelization.

I am very disappointed with 980 Ti performance, it seems as if there is some bottleneck that all maxwells share thus 2x faster cards can't get 2x hashing power.

I will get it today. With 768 cuda cores vs 640cuda cores on the 750ti I don't expect much. But I want to check the Hash/Watt and tune my kernals. In the latest sp-mod the Axiom algo is not working. It's just mining with the cpu.

What is the watt usage on quark and lyra2v2?

The card I ordered has a boost clock of 1350 wich is higher than most of the other cards I own.
