Topic: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner - page 255. (Read 2164327 times)

I get 225-230 sol/s @ 65W (55% power limit). Core +185 / memory +240.
That's that, can't compare 1060 with 1070/80.

right, thats what i roughly had in mind, thanks for confirming! 
sec.suprnova.cc also allows choosing your own diff btw.

i also remember that it was recommended to ideally have each node send 4-10 shares per minute to the server in order to reduce load on the backend which in turn should benefit the whole pool. 

now what i wanted to better understand is what happens in cases where my nodes often get new work assigned without having sent any shares since the last work-package was assigned. are the computations done in this timeframe lost (to my disadvantage) and would thereby sending rather 10-20 (accepted)shares per minute lead to a higher accepted number of shares?
according to my (unproven) theory, i would loose less work if shares are sent more frequently. of course this has not to be the case every 3 seconds or so but i've observed quite a few cases where new workloads were sent only 10-20 seconds apart from another...

thanks for enlightening me 

How about you go and read the previous pages, several peoples posted their settings... alot of them....

what about 55% power limit?

Can someone share specific powersave values for 1070 ?
I can't seem to make it use less than 150W and the fans must spin 80% constant to keep temps below 70C.
Thank you.
MSI Armor 1070 8G Non OC version.

Power limit at 85% / core +180 / memory +540.
Almost the same with 0.0.8 (+/- 2%).

Someone with 1060 has posted the benchmark?

There you go, friend


Usually pools adjust difficulty against your hashing power. Some pools allow you to choose it like flypool. A little guideline taken from zcash page on dwarfpool

128 for one videocard
512  for rigs with 2-4 cards
1024 for rigs with >=5 cards

cheers

I agree please make also XMR miner for nVidia! I do not believe that a 1070 can only do 700 at the moment

Good idea but unfornately TSIV CCminer don't support cryptonote/XMR algo :-(.

Edit : so, there is an old version of TSIV CCMiner specific to cryptonote, I'll refound it...

Edit 2 : I refund the github repository of specific TSIV specific Cryptonote CCMiner : no news sinc 3 years...
Where have you seen a cuda 8 version ?

Pools are defined in the miner. You try to setup yourself?

thanks @EWBF_ for providing us with this nice piece of software!
007b was running smoothly on my linux machines on stock clock-speeds (gtx 750ti, gtx 970, gtx980) and so does 008b (alas not yet tested with the 750ti) with nvidia driver 375.20!

running multiple instances on ewbf v 008b doesn't increase my sol-rate on any of the cards but rather decreases by 5-7%, have not tried that with 007b so i cannot compare.

what kept me wondering a bit however is that my gtx 980 is not performing too well compared to my gtx 970 at the same power-levels (150W) and difficulty (64).
running 2 threads on each yields to:
gtx970@150W -> 2 * 105 sol/s == 210 sol/s -> 1.40 sol/W
gtx980@150W -> 2 * 109 sol/s == 218 sol/s -> 1.45 sol/W

of course the gtx980 runs cooler and if i set a higher power-cap it clearly beats the gtx970 in sol/s reaching
 ~257 sol/s (@230W -> 1.12 sol/W) or
 ~250 sol/s (@210W -> 1.19 sol/W) or
 ~246 sol/s (@190W -> 1.30 sol/W) or
 ~236 sol/s (@170W -> 1.39 sol/W)
but has a considerably lower efficiency (sol/W) than my gtx970. as environmental aspects are a concern for me i wonder what may be the cause for the gtx980's weak efficiency. any ideas?

my gtx970 reaches even > 1.50 sol/W when setting a power-limit < 120W and i'm quite happy with that.

that maybe has nothing to do with EWBF-miner directly but never the less might be of interest for some

ps: power-cap set and power-usage read through nvidia-smi

EDIT: i have no clue how to choose ZEC-difficulty but know that typical video-card-ranges are somewhere around 64-256. can anybody give me a hint how to choose a good difficulty? i think i remember having come across some guide or article regarding this but simply cannot remember where this was and search-engines are of not much help either...

Have you tried the cuda 8 version of tsiv ccminer by KlausT ? it's far better than what basic tsiv can give you (i do 4200h XMR with 6x1070 rig but i can't max it out using 100w less @50tdp than zcash), zcash is still more interesting, but it could become a good contender when zcash drop , i agree that XMR gpu mining could/should be improved. Interesting query. I wonder why claymore isn't working more with nvidia...


For my personnal knowledge what is the issue with coinotron pool, that would need special support ?

EWBF when you planning add coinotron?

EWBF are you interested in making more money? Cryptonote (Monero is Cryptonote) is another really big algo with a lot of volume and miners. It hasn't been improved in a really long time. Currently the public Nvidia miner is pretty mediocre. If you want to take a look at it, it's a potential for you to earn a lot more money, if you can improve it.

Not sure how much or if it can be improved, but there is very little competition there and it's definitely stagnated.

I don't own any, so sadly no input , i know from what i read in the thread that it perform even better than 1070, so you should do testing

It works but don't expect great things since he's using Cuda 8, even Maxwell runs better with cuda7.5 or 6.5.  As my GT 730 gets the same amount of hashes  as your GTX 650

Well just tried on my 650 GTX and it runs.. a massive 13 kh/s but it works

FYI this miner is as fast/faster then latest Nicehash EQM miner does uses 2 threads..

I would like to integrate this miner into multipoolminer for miningpoolhub as done with Claymore's miner.

An api is needed for benchmarking/monitoring. Please can you advise if you have an api to read the hashrate whilst mining? If not, would you be able to add one?

I tried the 0.8b on my gtx 580 rig and it detects the card unlike before where it would just say no supported card detected, now it does 0 sol/s.   Just letting you know if this release was intended to work with Cuda 2.0 devices it ain't working with 5 series cards.

Thanks,
