Topic: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner - page 119. (Read 2164329 times)

Personnaly I have always use the 2 main x16 slots first. Like I would with physical GPUs.

i had the same issue. reinstalling the drivers should make the gpu available again, but this fix worked only for a few hours up to a few days for me. i've updated the bios version of my mobo, now it is running stable since 2 days.

Strange. I'm gonna ask my mate (who's hosting the PC for me) to manually switch slot. I'm hoping that the issue is that all three x16 slots need to be populated. Currently I plugged the risers in the order of the slots on the mobo. We'll see.

Ran into same kind of problem this morning.
6th GPU stopped by itself and was stopping a few minutes after restarting the rig.
I switched GPU #6 with #5 and everything went back to normal. Go figure.

As a matter of fact, Windows will now only see four of the five cards even after I run DDU so something's fubar...

I have this problem to fix this either restart the pc or try run the nvidia container again coz that one didnt restart itself
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Display.NvContainer

Hi, I'm in despair... I keep getting this:

ERROR: Looks like GPU1 are stopped. Restart attempt.

Then upon restart I get this:
ERROR: Cannot initialize NVML. Temperature monitor will not work!
...and one card is not showing up.

To make things worse, when I reboot the PC, one card is hidden in device manager with error code "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)". Only way to get it back is to DDU and reinstall the driver.

As soon as I start mining again, I will get the same shit happening within a few minutes.

I'd really appreciate any help, it's driving me nuts!
Thx

Hi there, the thread is long and i couldnt find an answer, anyway from time to time i got 0 sols on all cards and i need to close the miner and open it again. IS there any automatic solution like script or something which can do this automatically? If cards start making 0 sols, end the process and start it again?

ZCash value has already jumped - and I don't see anywhere near as strong of a reason for it compared to ETH.

 I wouldn't count on more climb, but I didn't expect to see the CURRENT climb.



 Ethereum isn't going to "half the reward in August" - they're talking 1% move to PoS or something like that END OF YEAR (as in December).

 At current pricing on GPUs, and current income level they generate, ROI in 6 months seems .... maybe. Depends on if prices go up any more AND how many more new rigs get deployed driving up the network hashrate you have to compete with.
 With the last week or so of more-or-less flat pricing, and the network hashrate jump in that time, I've already seen profitability drop quite a bit....

 It's NOT a good sign that NVidia cards that are good at ETH mining are ALSO selling out and getting price gouged - GTX 1070 availability has been very spotty AT BEST the last week, when I looked at NewEgg today the highest-priced GTX 1070 (MSI Gaming model, NOT a water-cooled card) was at the SAME price as the lowest-priced GTX 1080 TI model (not 1080, 1080 TI - both at $700) - and only 3 other 1070 models listed in stock at all, ALL of them quite a bit higher in price than MSRP.
 1060s are also climbing, though they don't have AS BAD of availability - yet.

 I've also seen a couple reports that NVidia is deliberately not raising their production on the affected products, as they're worried about a "channel glut" when the inevitable crash comes - which is probably WHY they're doing the "mining specific card" thing in the first place - once the crash happens, those cards aren't going to glut the used marketplace and drag sales of new cards down much if at all.


 scyth33 -

 EVGA has "black edition" for MOST of their GTX 1070 models - WHICH cards do you have?

there is a chance that also the value of zcash will jump very high to help the diff going high, if ETH go down in some way all other alt go up and the profit will remain the same i think, nothing to worry about

I'm mining with a couple of evga gtx1070 black edition, getting 420sols avg with windows 10 and 460sols avg with windows server 2012 r2. I do not have windows 8/8.1 to test out.

which OS are you guys running?

@EWBF_
The new system with config file since version 3.04b is great but I'm experiencing a little problem..

I have set in the config file:

Normally the worker name on the pool should be name of the machine running the miner by interpreting the environment variable %COMPUTERNAME%
Instead the worker is literally referenced as %COMPUTERNAME% so it seems environment variables are not interpreted by the miner reading the config file.
Is this indeed the case or am I just doing something wrong ?

When ETH goes PoS ZEC difficulty will go sky high and profitability will drop and only the most efficient miners will survive because of all the new rigs that have come online the last few months. That's not FUD just facts. Mining is boom and bust business.
Mimblewimble is an anonamous version of Bitcoin, hopefully that will be released and can be mined by GPU before ETH goes PoS, that will offset all the ETH GPU looking for new coin to mine

On your miner add the "--api" parameter, then you will be able to access it by loading 127.0.0.1:42000 on your browser.

How come I only get 80% power with my GTX 1070 instead of 115%, unless the "Power & sleep settings" (as typed in Windows search) window is opened (can be minimized) ?

Is this a bug with the miner or Windows 10 ?

I've got Windows 10 with Anniversary update installed, haven't installed Creator's update yet.
Edit: Got Creator's update now with the latest insider build (fast ring), still the same problem.

Found a fix: Change Nvidia Power management mode from "Optimal Power" to "Prefer maximum performance" or "Adaptive".

Memtest - 0 errors found
Thank You

Yes,this is your system memory DRAM , try and run a quick memtest and see what happens

One question pls, i am getting an error 0xc000007b on windows 10 64 machine,EVGA GTX 980 (EWBF Miner for Nvidia), any advice ?
Thank You

So if Ethereum will half the reward in August (2.5) miners will switch gpus to the next most profitable coin (which is Zcash for now).
Zcash difficulty will jump remarkably high. And so on with VTC, SIB, etc.

Is there any chance to pay out new gpu rig in half a year or so?

I have Antminer S7 x2, and want to switch to GPU 1070 Rig.
