Final result

6x1070 rig, 2650sols/s 145/590 @60% tdp, had to reduce OC a bit to be stable. solver 0 forced, the best so far. Multiple instance of the miner seems to make it unstable now, with 3 it's totally unstable, with 2, it's pretty stable, but don't get more sols than with 1 instance. so about 2/2.5% gain from 0.0.1b

Can I ask what 1070 cards you are using?

Thanks

Yes of course

6x EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, 60% TDP (about 110w per card, nvidia-smi, 830w @ wall)

@m1n1ngP4d4w4n - may I ask - what motherboard/processor combo are you using to get (6) 1070's to run?  I have had no luck with (6) card rigs.  Thanks - pokeytex
Man! Most miners use AsRock H81 Pro BTC or H97 Anniversary for 6 cards but most mobos with 6+ PCIE are good. Though some had problem on Z170 mobos...
Nvidias (6) are easy even with Win 7.

@nocab72 & @AzzAz - thank you for the information.  I am running (2) Asus Crosshair V mobos with quad core AM3+ processors.  I have (12) 1070's but could not get more than 5 to work per board.  I am running Windows 10 Anniversary edition - 64bit.  I would love to get them all humming on the same board.  I use EVGA 1300 Watt Gold psu's.  

Have you tried adding one card at a time, let the OS associate/load the driver (so it is recognized properly in Device Manager), then power down, add next card, boot and repeat.  ie. don't just slam all six cards in and pray ;-)

When you get to the last 2 cards (5&6) - if the last card won't recognize, try swapping the PCIe slots for cards 5&6 - donno why it works but that is what I needed to do with 2 of my three setups to get them working with all 6.  Once recognized - has been rock solid (except when I push the OC settings too far, lol).  =)

0.2.0 is 2-4% quicker, on 1070.
For my EVGA NVIDIA 1070 miner EWBF 0.2 is slower (by about 20 - 30 Sol / s per graphics card).

I'm mining with a GTX-680M and am only getting 10-12Sol/s while my CPU is getting 15-18Sol/s, also read on here some one is getting 40-50Sol/s with a GTX-680, any idea why this is?  Is there any tweaks I can try or a read me? Also getting alot of rejected shares, I'm currently using flypool.  I've tried coinmine but same results.
25 s/s ? dont waste your electricity and burn your cpu and vga card

This is why I'm looking for advise, the GPU is getting a lot of rejected shares.  Is this due solo because of my card?

Mobile GPU = less hash than real card.
Lots of reject, either bad overclock or bad pool

Version 0.2.0 seemed to fix everything, no lost shares so far and 50sol/s

I have 3 rigs with (6) 1070's, all cards are ASUS STRIX GTX 1070 OC.

MB/PROC/RAM/PSU: Gigabyte Z97X-GAMING 7 / i5-4590 / EVGA 8GB DDR3-1600 4GBx2 / EVGA 1300 G2

Afterburner: +100 CORE / +620 MEM @ 100% TDP  (my power is cheap)

450-470 Sol/s per card, seeing total Sol/s per rig at 2740-2780 Sol/s. 

MAJOR KUDOs @EWBF_ for improvements in 0.2.0b!  Up a solid 10 Sol/s per card from 0.1.0b using solver 0!  (1 and 2 are both slower for me)

BTW:  It is quite interesting to have 3 identical systems - 18 cards, all with the same OC settings, some cards want to scream and do upwards of 480 Sol/s while others are total slackers barely touching 460.  All in relatively controlled environment, none exceeding 60C.

Made two separate folders one for the EVGA 1070 SC and one for the 5 X EVGA 750ti SC  No processor OC Memory +600 on the 1070 and +400 on the 750tis  (Windows 8.1 Pro) Latest Drivers

Run the 1070 on solver 0  Run the 750tis on solver 3

1070 is getting 440-445 Sol/s

750tis are getting 394-400 Sol/s (showing 77 to 81 Sol/s each)

TDP in % mean nothing at all, some brands on 90% TDP have over 210W and some 150W....
but for sure zcash over 2100mhz you need a lots of volts to be stable, prolly 1.05v or so
well if we are going to do this right, use the NVidia-smi utility to figure out the wattage, and compare to the calculated wattage using the input voltage and current, or better yet use a kilowatt meter.  The TDP % is total inaccurate it's just a good guess at best.

This miner 0.2.0 is not  faster than 0.1.0  tested with 2 xgtx 1080 --solver 1/2/3 is also unstable connection lost !!

NO NO NO Temperatures rise to 93° degrees

Miner is not usable, will continue to use 0.1.0

what are you talking about ? what solvers ? i dont understand without readme file ((

did you read the help of the miner ?

miner --help

also read up a bit on equihash https://www.cryptolux.org/index.php/Equihash you will get what solvers are  Wink


--solver 0
gpu clock 2140
memory clock 2275

and probably TDP 100% ?

Thx  Smiley

@EWBF,

since you added solver's need a way to select solvers for individual cards, claymore's miner does this so he might be able to help since I don't think he has an interest in building CUDA based miners.
