Topic: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner - page 182. (Read 2164327 times)

Personally I too prefer linux for mining.
Currently I use nVidia's 375.39 driver - it is rock solid, but it lacks support for 1080 Ti in your case.
You can get more GPU usage by manually setting P0 instead of P2 by setting highest application clocks via nvidia-smi.
I use it on a rig with GeForce GTX 970 that also prefers P2 by default.

I've tried many ways to overclock nVidia card in linux, none of them successful (I use Ubuntu Server, headless, without GUI)

Here's the output of nvidia-smi for one of my rigs (headless):

A couple of questions:
       -one card is usually around 65%. This is a headless machine with no monitor. Is that the issue?
       -the miner auto selects algorithm 0. I presume that's the best? Seems like there's a fair amount of memory left, but then the GPU is at 99%.
       -are some 1080's that can't be OC'd on Linux? I tried to set some of the clocks with nvidia-smi - but they failed as not supported.

(and yes the fourth card is a 1080 Ti - I'm getting about 660 sol/s with stock.

Windows defender has now marked version 3.2b as a virus and will block the file.

Anyone have Palit gtx 1070 Dual and can post sol/s? 

Pool-X listed it: http://pool-x.eu/gettingstarted

Yes, but i think it's better to fix this. On the side of the pool speed also falls? And can you show the log file?

I second this, I will run for a good 2 days and then start hashing 0.  For me I don't think it is OC issues cause I already had to go down from when I ran 3b.  3b was the most stable at highest clocks.  I dont mind the lower clocks but frustrated with the stability issue so having a command to restart the miner if it reaches 0 would be great.

EWBF,

Will it be possible to add another switch under --eexit?
Like, exit the miner if total speed reaches 0 sol/s.

well, 0.3.3b is more stable than 0.3.2 in my system PLUS 0.3.2 heats the risers much more than 0.3.3 (this is less important if your cards are on the mobo).

For me , stability is much more important than about 3% difference as I don't have time to check it every hour.

Think my Palit Dual have micron memory. Now I'm on +140/+600, let see what it give.

depends on memory quality. 1060 has micron mostly, so not so good for overclocking.

Didn't thought that +150/+650 is too much for 1060 card. Thanks, will do it.

you OC'ed too much. play with memory and core settings.

Is there solution of issues "Thread exited with code: 46" or "Thread exited with code: 2" ? One of my 1060 is periodically crashes with one of that codes.

@alucard20724 My 1060 is a Asus Strix OC 6Gb.

My avarage when using v0.3.2 is 302H/s, and when using v0.3.3b its around 285H/s.
Needless to say I switched back to v0.3.2.

Something  between 10 and 30 percent. It's hard to say for sure, because the price of zcash is very volatile, and people are constantly switching between different coins.

putting your minimum and maximum, but stating your average has dropped by a % without stating what your actual average is, is irrelevant data.

What is your Average Speed?  Also... is your 1060 a 3gb or 6gb card?

@EWBF

how much did your fee income drop since you introduced --nofee option?

You have to take into account the difficulty rates of the pool.   Mine have been up and down over the last week

Has anyone else noticed that v0.3.3b is a lot more volatile than 0.3.2?
On 0.3.2 my minimum and maximum over a 24H period was 216H/s & 373H/s (That is not such a big spread)

Since I started mining on 0.3.3b the fluctuation are lot more. Now my minimum and maximum over a 24H period is much lager at 135H/s & 385H/s, and also jumps a lot more.
This caused my average effective hash-rate to drop by about 20H/s.

I'm using a 1060 to mine.
