Thank you. What is etc values from 0 to 4? What does it mean. Where I can read about it.
With solver 2 while it works stable

--solver 0, --solver 1 etc values from 0 to 4. For pascal gpus better choice 0 - 2.
Error 77 can happen with one gpu but after it all other gpu will exit too. And miner can't restart threads automaticly.
In your log file "device 1" exit first.

Also you can use this bat file:

:loop
  miner  --eexit 1 ....
goto loop

It will restart miner automatically in case of error.

Where is info about solver? How it works?
Why do you think that it is GPU1?

What about stock settings? Does the error always start with the same GPU? In this log it gpu 1. And try the solver 2 it slower but more stable.

Hi
Yes Game Rock Premium it is overclocked version of cards. In stock it was game rock and jetstream versions without OC and I use bios from GRP cards.
Miner version sure 0.3.2b

Here it is my log:

Give advise, please
I have periodical instability. Miner hangs with error each day
I use 1070 palit with game rock premium bios. Temperature near 60 C

Before that i use nisehash miner eqm and it was stable during months

I'm not limited by TDP and not using this adjustment at all (never really understood why people use it, is there any advantage to it instead of manually adjusting voltage and clocks?), I've got a fixed core voltage (with MSI AB curve, set to 0.875V for this particular card) and fixed clocks (1911/4400). With these same settings I'm getting 450 H/s with EWBF and 395 H/s with Excavator. GPU won't go any higher without increasing the voltage and RAM won't overclock any higher as well.

Up memory clock, set TDP to 70% and you will have same speed and no fee.

Thanks, it works. It's quite a bit slower though, I'm getting 450 H/s with EWBF, and only 395 H/s with Excavator, so I don't think I'll earn more with it.. but definitely more than not mining at all!

Use excavator and set single thread only. PC is perfectly usable, even for watching movies. Plus, it doesn't have a fee, so you will earn more.

Is there any low intensity mode with this miner so that the screen isn't lagging? I've got 1070 in my desktop, and would like to be able to use the computer while it's mining, but right now it's so laggy that I just have to stop the miner completely. Tried different solvers but that didn't solve the problem.

Didn't Nvidia announce they GTX 1080ti would be $500? Or is it a new version of the normal gtx 1080?

Edit: ok you were right, they are coming out with a regular 1080 with boosted memory clock for $500. It will likely beat the 1070 though.

My 1070's do 490 Sol/s


Even at 450 here is some math. When dividing the investment cost of a 1070 and Sol/s with the 1080ti, the 1080ti gets 50% higher hashes while costing 75% more almost. You actually gave me a regular GTX 1080 price rather than the 1080ti there

That is a slower ROI for the 1080ti

Of course after hitting the ROI you stand to gain from higher hashing so depending on how long ZEC or another coin remains profitable it can be a better investment after 2 years+ but that is a lot of foresight. Right now we're in a bubble for mining profits with ETH going PoS in a few months and the net hash flooding everything else.

684 sols/s @ $500 has a much faster ROI than 450 sols/s @ $400. The GTX 1080ti will ROI 60 sooner if it really does 684 sol/s.
