- slight equihash efficiency improvement for GTX 1060 cards
- equihash GTX 750 Ti fix
- added missing MSVC files
- fixed issue of inability to display proper power usage
- general improvements

GTX 1060 6G gets 310 sol/s @ 90 W. GTX 1060 3G gets 255 sol/s @ 72 W.

Thanks, but my 1060 is installed in my Lunux box Sad

Any word on Lunux version? At least a bare-bone one without bells and whistles.
So EWBF can learn more about it

MSI Afterburner has the advantage to set a group of same gpu's with the clock/mem settings without the need to select each card by its own.
If you manage to provide this than you can claim to replace or no need for it..but not now..still 10 steps away from what MSI Afterburner or similar tools are offering.

Nice. The 1060 6BG is 21% faster than the 3GB.

I think the 3gb cards can run mush faster than 255 with some more tweaking..

Okay, we are close with "reverse engineering". Next version will have fan control aswell Cool

And when commanding interface is done, you will be able to finally say goodbye to tools like MSI afterburner.

Thats great info. Thank you. Will be then published some documentation for API with examples? I never used this way so it will be something new for me. Again thank you Tongue

Of course, documentation will be very good with each parameter explained and examples provided.

Some speed results:

equihash:
optimized GTX 1080 at 60% TDP = 500 Sol/s
optimized GTX 1070 at 60% TDP = 440 Sol/s

How do you get 440 Sol/s with 60 TDP ?

I'm getting 365.

My EVGA GTX 1070 SC is running at 60 % TDP + 200 Mhz Mem.

i'm not making at all the 440 reported here, but only 1650(412 each) with 4 gpu, 60% tdp +100 core +600 ram

Make sure you are using at least 2 threads. If only 1, then your GPU is not 100% loaded. 1 thread solution is good if you plan to do other stuff with your card. Imagine it as being an intensity switch.

We reached 440 with 115W TDP limited card that has OC set to 2120 core and 4700 mem. With next version, it is about 445 with these same settings.

Another example is 126W TDP limited card, OCed to 2110 core and 4400 mem (micron with BIOS patch) reaching 440 sol.

You can view how far is your card OCed when you launch excavator with overclocking set.

do you think you can get 440 with stock clocks like ewbf does on a stock 1070?

Hello,

nice release thanks.

I have some suggestion for next version:
- add FAN control for devices (so are not needed external utilities anymore)
- change -or function in overclocking section when you close miner will set default parameters (to 0 0 100) and I want them customisable for example I want set 60% TDP and prepare card for another algo and mining software. So again here eliminate some external utilities.

Its possible? Thanks for answer.

We will add fan control in near future. 'or', 'od' and many more will not be needed when API commanding interface is made.

Greetings,
out of curiosity, this miner is open to any pool and does not contain any fees, so it basically works against your core business of selling hashing power/providing pools.
So whats the rationale behind it?

have 85 - 87 hash per thread on asus gtx1060 o3g (65% tdp,core +170),total 255-261 hash.

on the same sets have 26x - 27x hash/s with ewbf.

without fee ewbf speed is faster.need improvements.

even more: new ewbf version 0.3.3 has --fee option with 0% fee set.so we need serious speed improvement.

I don't want excavatgor woverride my settings i apply after i started the miner.
I want to use my tool..how to achieve this? so it should take the setting i made with msi afterburner etc.. how to achieve this?

Then you don't set any overclocking in excavator. It is only optional, it can help you reach higher stable clocks because there is no switching to p0 state and it is free for anyone to use or not.

Does excavator overwrites the oc setting by default I set with MSI Afterburner after I started excavator?
Or the settings are remain..because I set the oc after starting the miner with msi afterburner but I noticed it's still slower than EWBF by 20%.

It applies overclocks x seconds after startup (by default, x is 2 seconds), so, it overwrites your previous overclocks set by any other tool. If you use another tool to override overclocks, excavator will not mess with that. If you used -or parameter, then clocks are reset to default 0 0 100 at exit of excavator.

i see that nexus is using sha3, is it the same as shat? isn't shat three times sha or there is something more?

nevermind the rounds are different...
