I was wondering how this works with a GTX760 or GTX660Ti and if you can solo mine with the latest version or any version yet?
I have a few BTC but must know how its working with the cards above before making a pledge. I also have a few GTX 480's
will this work with older cards such as those?
For the moment it doesn't work for cards using compute version below compute 3.5
I will look into this tonight, it shouldn't take too long however in terms of performance it won't be as fast as the compute 52
Could you be a little more clear with your answer about compute version and what cards?
For the moment anything below the 780 and Titan aren't supported.
I did a few test this afternoon with my 660, and there are still a few problem to solve. Also the speed isn't great... mostly because those cards don't have enough registers...
Also you didn't answer if this could be used to solo mine coins like PXC?
Yes the current version support solo mining (was able to solo mine a few ftc blocks as well as pxc), however it gets also many rejected (meaning the target isn't optimal for solo) but it works
Dang I was all set to send some money, but if it will not help my speed with the cards I have no since in doing that.
The 660 & 760 are the newest cards I have at this time from Nvidia. :-( I have enough EVGA bucks built up to get a 750Ti
but was holding off for a better upgrade than that to spend my bucks on.
Thanks or you honesty.
i had similar - but i changed ALL my AMD cards to the gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards ( low profile ) ... they were cheaper than any of the other cards out there and took up almost half ( yes - half ) the space as well as not having any power connectors - so all the power comes from the powered risers - which also meant a VERY low max power input ( about 60W each card as opposed to almost 300W per card with the gigabyte 280x oc ) ...
and hash - damn do these things hash ... and are very stable if you dont play with overclocking - too much ... i have mine all stock ...
the money i save on space ( yes - i saved money that way too - the farm takes a bit ) - on density - on power - on heat ...
win all round ... admittedly - they dont hash as hard as the bigger cards - but i can get almost 3 cards per for every 980 - and less than half the power usage ... so in the long term for mining - it means a MUCH less power bill ...
but then again - i am in australia - and this place has one of the highest electricity charges in the world ...
so i went ahead and bought ( and built ) 46 x gigabyte 750ti oc lp and STILL had money to get all the motherboards and psu's and risers and cpu's and ram
... the farm is no where near finished as well ...
so MY opinion is simple - if you can afford to do it - just do it ...
you are better off with the better cards than you have - until the next great card nvidia ( or amd ) bring out ... then swap again
