Still having problems at Nicehash on a multi gpu rig.. one device start to hash, while the others idle.

waiting for linux version

Good perfs in L2Z but high power consumption

With 6 x 1080Ti PL 80% GPU +100 RAM +0

CryptoDredge : 22.1 Mhs - 1340W
Ccminer Tpruvot : 20.3 Mhs - 980W

Would love if you could test t-rex (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/t-rex-0268-ethw-etc-dual-mining-gpu-miner-4432704) vs Crypto Dredge. I think t-rex is a little faster, but no Windows version yet so maybe it's not possible with your setup. Thanks JackIT

Why you think such a heat difference?

Lyra2z - Head to Head test of CoolMiner 1.3 Vs CryptoDredge 0.4.1

---

Hash rate numbers are vanity metrics and can be gamed.  The only thing I care about is "which miner puts more coins in my wallet?" I've done dozens of Head to Head tests in the past see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/x16r-rvn-miner-head-to-head-test-log-3385643

I've decided to test CoolMiner 1.3 Vs CryptoDredge 0.4.1 to see which one mines more coins on Lyra2z.

---

MINERS:
CoolMiner 1.3 intensity = 20
CryptoDredge 0.4.1 intensity = 6

The Setup:
I use a 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows 10, split into three mining instances of 4 GPU's each (for this test, only two of the instances are used). All three mining instances are balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible.
Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine mining on the same pool.

Overclock settings: 100% TDP, NO overclocking
Drivers: Nvidia 398.11

Test 1 Results: Test aborted

about 4 hours into the test, the rig crashed. I'm confident that it was due to CryptoDredge, the rig had close to two weeks of uptime running Coolminer.
When I went to restart CryptoDredge, I got the following error: > Error: bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target

Given the increased temps, increased power draw, and stability issues; I cannot recommend CryptoDredge, even if it does provide a few percentage point gain over Coolminer.
I'll wait until CryptoDredge has the bugs worked out to give it another try

Notes on CryptoDredge:

• GPU's run about 6-8 degrees Celcius hotter than with coolminer
• The GPU count starts at 0, whereas ccminer variants start the count at 1. this obviously makes a difference when using the -d flag
• Intensity ranges from 0 to 6, 1080Ti defaults to a 6
• I initially had issues with stability. The miner would crash the rig after a minute or two of running. I had 397 drivers on the rig, which I knew caused issues for some miners. So I DDU'd the rig, installed 398 drivers, and didn't overclock... that seemed to clear up the problem.
• No API support

Did a small test. My 6 1080tis run around 21.5 mh on coolminer. I was sitting at 22.5 with cryptodredge with the same settings. Only thing, is that my Temps were around 8 degrees Celsius hotter with cryptodredge. Settings are 80% +75 core - 502 on mem with 21 intensity. Hope it helps

Anyone compared to coolminer for lyra2z yet?

quick review for 0.4.1

1st rig
RIG- GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 6pc (the best performer in my collection)
Driver 391.xx
TDP 70% coreclock 130 memory 0

2nd rig
GTX1080ti x 8 (Zotac amp) - only can afford this LOL
Driver 391.xx
TDP 70% coreclock 100 memory 0

Algo Lyra 2z
Pool : nicehash

Miner                ccminer 2.2.5     Excavator(bundled in NH 2.0.2.4) Cryptodredge 0.4.1

Temp                    65c               70c                             70C   


other issues:
 It seems when initial starting of miner, will get lot of rejection rate and slower hashrate, However after 3-4minutes hashrate increased and hasrate become as above

for lyra2rev 2 (or lyra2v2)

RIG- GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 6pc
Driver 391.xx
TDP 70% coreclock 130 memory 0

Algo Lyra2rev2
Pool : nicehash

Miner                Cryptodredge 0.4.    Cryptodredge 0.4.1
hash (perGPU)                55MH                 56.6MH
Power consumption (watt-o-meter)   980w           980w


my verdict:
good performer. However power consumption and temp increase for lyra2z. Not power efficient anymore with this miner
Will use it. Keep the good job

Thanks, works fine on gtx1070 now.

I second this.

please add api access to the miner. I will not use miners that do not have it.

v0.4.1 released

• Improve Lyra2REv2
• Add check for new versions
• Remove limitation for Lyra2Z
• Other minor fixes

Hi devs, any plans to add -r command to close miner when connectcion lost? This is important on miningpoolhub on multi algo

is there some option to autoclose the miner if it fails to connect?

have plan to make lyra2z support for 1080ti?

You just need to work and not connect various adaptations. You give more for electricity denyuzhek than you earn on the video card. Is it really necessary, is it worth it?

So after some testing the first thing that pops up to me is one rig is mining, sending shares.  But the rig is offline on my pool and no shares are accepted, and none have been for some time now.


Got some explaining to do.
