I am use ubuntu 14.04, and I have five gpus, :

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f1 (rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)
03:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f1 (rev a1)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)
04:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f1 (rev a1)
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)
06:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f1 (rev a1)
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)
07:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f1 (rev a1)

but when I run :

it only show 4 gpus:


GPU0: 74 Sol/s GPU1: 281 Sol/s GPU2: 283 Sol/s GPU3: 281 Sol/s

I don't know why, can anybody help me ?
what GPUs are you using? they are all 1060 ? (or are you mixing different GPUs?), what power limit?, are you OCing?, what motherboard, what kind of risers, are your risers powered?, EWBF miner on 1404 is a no brainer, it just works perfectly, it has to be something in the hardware, :p plz answer that, see if we can figure it out Smiley
cheers

Dear @EWBF can you add additional restart option to your miner? Sometimes miner cannot restart cards (looks like cards restarted but it doesnt work) and I have to close app and open it again, then it works perfectly. So I think software need option to restart like Claymore did (restart PC if cards went down, or re-open app if cards went down). Thanks Wink

I loveee my Gigabyte 1060 6G - currently sitting at 51c - 323 Sol/s - practically silent, ticks over like a perfectly manufactured slinky slinking its way down a never ending set of stairs. Bulletproof, in every sense of the word. I'd shoot it, but I enjoy hating my AMD rig so much sometimes that it would render any gunfire scenario impractical/nonsensical.

Super important post, coming through! More-so bordering on the realm of Law, rather than personal opinion.

So, yeah, if you can get a good deal on a 1060 - or find yourself at a krux - I can at least give the thumbs up re the 1060 6gb - as it was a spontaneous purchase, hadn't planned to get anything - but was quickly tiring of  the alternative.

I would like to know gtx 1060 3 gb cards performance. Can anyone tell with details, who have experience?

I'm getting roughly 300 H/s with ASUS 1060 3gb cards right now.
Can you give more details with tdp? I want to compare with amd rx series

Optimal TDP is 100W with core160/memory800 overclock. Overall score is 290 S/s.
 Thats 470/570 performance plus you save 50W of power. The only downside is that is not so good at mining ETH compared to Radeons.
You can try increasing OC slowly until unstable. All the way up to 180-200, depending on card.
If you have Samsung memory go for 1000memory OC.
If you do not care about power consumption you can push them to 310 S/s without increasing PL.

But buying 1060s for a 6 card rig is dubious. Go for 1070 if you have the money or buy a couple of 1060s and then use the money they earn to buy 1070s one by one.
1070s have much better resale value, as do 1060 6G.
Or you can buy 1060 3G and put fans at 100% and they will die in a year so hopefully you will get an new shiny 2060.
Thats what I am doing with my 970 right now  Smiley

how do i use the --api and view it?

The information that you need to read the API information is found in the Help.txt file.

Code:
API Description.

Api establish the tcp connection and send through it json data, like a stratum protocol.
Every json request and response must be ended with new line symbol \n, this symbol used
as a sign of data end.

Request example: {"id":1, "method":"getstat"}\n
Respond example: {"id":1, "method":"getstat", "error":null, "result":[{
"gpuid":0,
"cudaid":0,
"busid":"0000:01:00.0",
"gpu_status":2,
"solver":0,
"temperature":64,
"gpu_power_usage":150,
"speed_sps":420,
"accepted_shares":1000,
"rejected_shares":1
},{
"gpuid":1,
"cudaid":1,
"busid":"0000:04:00.0",
"gpu_status":2,
"solver":0,
"temperature":70,
"gpu_power_usage":100,
"speed_sps":410,
"accepted_shares":1111,
"rejected_shares":2
}
]}\n

Method getstat:
  Request parameters:
    id       optional,  type: unsigned int,  response will be have this id.
    method   required,  type: string,        method name
                     
  Response parameters:
    id                          type: unsigned,          id from request or 0 in other case.
    method                      type: string,            method name
    error                       type: null, string,      null if no error otherwise message
    result                      type: array of objects,  array contain objects by one for each gpu
    result[0].gpuid             type: unsigned,          internal gpu identifier
    result[0].cudaid            type: unsigned,          gpu cuda identifier
    result[0].busid             type: string,            pci bus id in format: 0000:00:00.0
    result[0].gpu_status        type: unsigned,          status of gpu
                                                         0 - gpu launched, but not yet work,
                                                         1 - gpu launched, but he prepare to work, for example execute benchmark.
                                                         2 - gpu works
                                                         3 - GPU stopped, for example, a temperature limit is reached
    result[0].solver            type: unsigned,          selected solver
    result[0].temperature       type: integer,           gpu core temperature
    result[0].gpu_power_usage   type: unsigned,          gpu power usage in watts, not all devices support this in this case this value will be 0
    result[0].speed_sps         type: unsigned,          gpu performance in solutions per seconds
    result[0].accepted_shares   type: unsigned,          amount of accepted shares
    result[0].rejected_shares   type: unsigned,          amount of rejected shares
    Remark: temperature, gpu_power_usage and speed_sps updated every 30 seconds.

At this moment supported only one method "getstat".

You will need to write some sort of software interface to use the information from the API.

Anyone getting random horrible hash rates? My 1080 strix goes from 480+ suddenly down to 150. Then with a change of clock frequency just up and down slighty, or restart its back on 420,but not 480 which it used to be.

Try using an auto mouse clicker (I suggest the one from murgee) and set it to move your mouse after a period of time repeatedly. If it does fix your issue (as in the hash rate stays consistent all the time), then you're probably having the same issue that I am. It's probably a bug caused by something, probably not the miner because it was fine for me before a windows update or maybe after an nvidia driver update. (I'm mining with a gtx 1070 and my hash rate goes down from ~480 to 130-150 when idle almost like yours).

Haha oh man. If it's my window version idk what to say. I sold 2x 980tis for 2x 1080 because I thought they had gone wrong.

My main comp use brand new windows 10 version downloaded this April. Running a 1080 ti with no performance loss. Going to install newest version of w10 on my rig too now it seems Smiley

Haha that clicking worked. Thanks man

Your welcome!  Wink

Edit: after watching it live, it's slowly dropping from 480 down to nothing until it stops. For every hash calculated, it drops by about 5.

Can you help me ?  I cannot find any solution about my problem

I have 3x1060, but when I run miner, only one GPU work. Look:
https://i.imgur.com/6JUPJig.png

After some time I got "GPU1 Restart attempt" "GPU1 not respond"
and:
"GPU2 Restart attempt" "GPU2 not respond"

With --eexit 1 miner restarts but problem occurs

I'm not using --cuda_devices option
This happend in stock settings too.
Sometimes I got 2 GPU working, sometimes I got all gpu working (I have to restart miner many times to get all gpu's work)
I'm using 0.3.3b
Win 10, x64 (1703) 15063.138
Drivers: 376.12. Also tried 381.89

Any ideas?

P.S. With any other miner's I got all gpu working, no matter how many times I restart it
P.P.S. Also I have installed AMD drivers 16.9.3 (and rx 470 on it) if it's matter...



Hi, yes, this situation is rare, but possible, it happens when a worker can't start working, and the miner tries to restart him. When all gpu is work and you are restarting the miner, the problem does not appear anymore?

No,
After restarting miner problem still exists.

I have to restart miner many many times, to start mining on all gpu's

Anybody here been running 1080 TI for few days ?

I always have hash drop few minutes after starting the miner , that is one thing .
Second thing , opposed to other i find that dropping memory clock result in higher core clock within the same TPD and gets little performance increase .



Does it happen after sometime of not using the PC? Try moving your mouse and clicking things and see if hash rate comes back up to normal... You might be having exactly the same problem as I am. I'm using a single 1070.

I gave found that keeping too many Google Chrome window opened affect performance, found that I haven bitcoin mining virus wasting 10% of my hash.
Now I am playing with nvidia power options to see if its will affect my usage.
That card is running inside my daily rig.

I actually found a way to "bypass" my issue by using auto mouse click by murgee (Google it) and set it to move my mouse from one side of the screen to the other once every half a minute. Seems to have fixed the issue and hash rate stays the same even after 12 hours.

Who set up Meiner, ewbf 0.3.3b to the https: //slushpool.co...g_started_zash pool, the miner opens and closes immediately. But with the same builds works on http: //zcash.flypool.org


Sorry for my English)

Hi, see this example:

miner --server eu.zec.slushpool.com --user slush.1 --pass x --port 4444
