It would be funny if we did not see how cast-xmr increased Vega's hashrate twice. That is, sometimes software solutions can dramatically increase the speed on the same hardware.
But if somebody really make this, he can simply build dev. fee in miner and put it to open access.
10,000 downloaded miners with 1% dev.fee will give him a good income for good work.

what are you talking about? xmr stak 1950 k/h, cast xmr 2000 k/h and id rather use software with open code

Cast xmr added only 1-5% to public available wolf kernel used in sgminer or xmr-stak

Merit me or don't.
If it was real, it would of been confirmed and everyone would be using it.

Be skeptical until proven correct or false.

If not a scam, perhaps try to hand out even a single copy of the driver to a reputable forum member for review?

That's exactly what I was thinking! There's absolutely noone who reported that this is working or that this even exists. Who knows what you're really downloading after paying some hundred bucks.
As already said, if this would be real, everyone would be aware, if it's too good to be true, stop dreaming about it!;)

When people are greedy and most are, there would be always scammers Smiley

this is true as much as copying straps on a Nvidia card, lowering the voltage and reflashing

oh these scammers are getting more and more... can't find the word

I am surprised people still believe these scams but hey..its your money.
I thought this is true i was searching for moded bios for nvidia in youtube but i found that video since AMD graphics card can modify the bios i just search and found video in youtube that i thought its real..
Looks like only AMD has this option to modify the bios and improve the hashing power..

Hi Guys,

I bit the bullet and paid the 1ETH to buy, the link I was directed to was this one:
https://satoshibox.com/65rrpjv3hr2q4x5z4cydj7fi

Here is a link to the virustotal:
https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/0ddf6820f2fcca3ec3021e42a028f8bc08bca123fcea4c0c3f41c8c0ffa5febd/details

It's a compiled driver binary. I installed it and it doesn't seem to increase performance on 1070 nor 1060. Just seems like the standard NVIDIA driver, with god knows what baked into the binary.

If you guys want, I can upload the file itself too.

Best,
ark

Hi ark02, can you upload the file? I want to try installing the driver.

Hi folks,

3 days ago i came across with this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdeA7s9SmRY

I emailed the owner of the video and here is his response :

Hello,
We have currently a special offer because we sold 50 drivers from a price range of 6-100 ETH in one week. So the sale price is 2.5 ETH for  1- 50 GPU´s. It is available until sunday and you get the 1060 and 1080(TI) driver for free as soon as we are ready. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Thank you


So what do you think?

nvidia does not have open source drivers so it could not possible. Its scam.

The harder your life is the more meaning it has.
Why are you guys even mining ETH on nvidia cards? ZEC is like 20% more profitable on its worst day.

 Depends on the specific card.

 GTX 1060, it's been pretty close and often ETH IS more profitable.

 GTX 1070, usually fairly close though ZEC is usually a LITTLE more profitable.

 GTX 1080 and 1080 ti, no competition ZEC wins hands down as those cards are not real good at ETH due to the GDDR5X memory latency issues.

 GTX 1070 ti is a question mark at this point, depends on if the cores are actually usable for ETH or if it's memory limited, but I suspect it will be better on ZEC as well.


I agree mostly with 1080 but 1060 is way better on eth rather than zen or zec i have few and they aren't really good with equihash algo.

GTX 1080 ti can mine ETH - it's just not a sensible or economical option to do so, as it is nearly matched on hashrate by MUCH MUCH less expen$ive cards with similar or superior hash/watt.

An OTS 1080ti with a +600 mem overclock can touch 38.

1) If such a patch existed, you would think it would have to apply across most of the product line. So why not patch 1080 ti's instead?

2) The buyer has no idea whether some sort of insane overclock is required and therefore what kind of cooling is required. I'm not sure how useful the "Arctic Circle"  variant of any card would be. A further question at this performance level is, what part of the card is getting stressed the most?


A lot of technical issues need to be addressed before even thinking of buying such a mod purchase.

1080 ti for Zcash only I think
