Topic: NiceHash EQM Zcash NVIDIA optimized miner [Maxwell/Pascal] + CPU mining v1.0.4c - page 7. (Read 237998 times)

We were able to reach 490 on overclocked GTX 1080. We also noticed that temperature has some effect on all pascal cards - the higher it is, the lower it would clock and thus slower it would mine. But the hashing rate was always consistent, never more or less, as long as all clocks were fine. Also, if there is a driver crash due to too intensive clock, it may put your card into locked low clock and reboot is needed. That is all I can help you with. You may observe GPU load, TDP, memory load and see how these numbers compare to your first run of 500+.

Yes, this is used in NHM right now.

Regarding crashes. We will not deny that it cannot happen. We used some unsafe shared memory to gain extra speed. The crash possibility is very low. That is why there are auto-restart scripts included. If crash happens, it will not break your driver, so restart fixes it and you keep on mining.

for me it works as in nheqminer: you query "status\n" on a raw socket on the port and get a json result back (though the last version i tested it with was a while back, but if nothing broke it it should still work)

Latest EQM seems to have stability issues, what about you all others fellow miners ? Im not able to keep it from crashing with same level even 5% lower OC than previous EQM version. Keep randomly crashing every 3-4h, happily i got my nice monitoring scripts to pick-up so mining downtime isn't that much but still annoying

by the way nicehash guys, how do you use the monitoring/api port you can start with -a xxxx is that feature working ? i don't see any datas or port even being opened.

There will be another update with 1-2% speed increase. Then we will work on to prepare public source release. We will put solver cuda_djezo into existing nheqminer: https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer and bump the version up to 0.5. We made this decision, because nheqminer is widely popular (200 times forked) and will serve good as a base for this new solver (with possibility of other solvers being added in near future - something faster for AMD perhaps?).

-cd 0 1 2 doesn't work... that's how come I needed a bat file.

give you the help... (well duh :p)

-cm [mode]      Working mode (1 or 2, 0 = auto)

auto by default it should run into the proper mode depending of your card compute capabilities

Power comsumption .

kinda fake ... or more then 2.2ghz on gpu?
