Thanks for the new version Version 1.3.5 alpha NVIDIA !
On 1.3.4 - frost the screen at five 1070? on 1.3.5 - fixed!

CryptoNight GTX 1070 - 660.0 !!!
CryptoNight GTX 1080Ti - 800.0 !

CryptoNight GTX 1080 - 530.0 :-( Still low speed. Apparently the video memory is to blame?

What is expected with CryptoNight GTX 1060 3GB?
Also what settings?
1 worker per card with default settings (no paremeters) don't give good performance in exevator...

Thanks in advance!

I might have not tuned cryptonight for 1060 3GB. I will get to it.

Yeah, I was working all day yesterday to fix these bugs. You really have to jump through hoops sometimes.
The unexpectedly low performance on 1080 is still pretty mysterious to me.
I must have messed up global memory access somewhere. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

How to add a backup pool?

You can't. Excavator doesn't support backup pools.

When using the miner do i need to alter any settings in afterburner or will the miner alter these for me?

this is on Nvidia

You should alter GPU settings on your own, miner will not change them automatically.

You can either set GPU settings in afterburner or using Excavator's api (see device related get and set methods). It's up to you.

How to connect the excavator to the VTC p2pool, for example here http://vtc.geekboxit.com:9171/static/ ?

Please help!

In this case, do not connect - the pool developer abandoned it a few years ago https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy
Hardly he will rewrite his stratum protocols

Use https://www.coinotron.com

please add the Phi1612 algo so that we can mine LUX Coin. Right now it's one of the most profitable coins to mine on Nvidia.

You should use one worker per device when running with M2. M2 mode is already using 2 streams.

M1 should perform better with one worker than two.

Excavator version: 1.3.3a_nvidia :
GTX 1070x5 Equihash with 2 worker and M0 - 2.226 kH/s
Excavator version: 1.3.4a_nvidia :
GTX 1070x5 Equihash with 2 worker and M0 - 2.168 kH/s

This is weird. There were no changes regarding M0 mode. Speed is usually bouncing up and down a little, could that be the reason?

Our tests showed running M1 with one worker should reach the highest rates.

What version of drivers do you have? Also can you tell me your oc settings (mem, cor, power limit)? Thanks.
