Bitcointalk picked the perfect time to go down, right?

Indeed it is the NF15 affecting the hashrate.  I am currently getting just over a 1/3 of the hashrate that I was before with my 750ti rig.  After about an hour of fiddling with settings I'm at 1.1-1.25 khash/sec per 750ti, still using a lookup gap of 4.  I didn't seem to gain anything when I tried an autotune with a lookup gap of 8.  I still recommend trying autotune with nvidia.

Code:
cudaminer -a scrypt-jane:15 -l auto -L 4 -D -o stratum+tcp://pool.address.com -O user:pass

Here is an example setting that I am currently using with my 6x 750ti rig:

Code:
cudaminer --algo=scrypt-jane:15 -L 4 -D -l t19x5,t75x1,t76x1,t38x2,t5x16,t40x2 -b 1024 -o stratum+tcp://utc2.tumblingblock.com:5555 -O user:pass

Setting the algorithm to scrypt-jane:UTC will not work with autotune does not appear to use the modifier in autotune, use scrypt-jane:15 instead.  As long as you have enough power going to your cards and haven't overclocked them to where stability is an issue, it should be able to run through completion.

ATI folks, check out http://cfg.ultracoin.net to get a baseline setting for your hardware to work off of.

Try not to get discouraged that your hardware seems less efficient than it was before.  Everyone else is going through the same thing and the blocks will continue to be minted at the same rate and those mining will generally get the same share of the total as before.   Those with graphics cards that have more memory will experience slightly more of an edge.


Anyone who is too lazy to look, here are settings for 750ti

0.25 - PoS?

Kracko, it is time you address this issue...

There is a strong mining force outside of the advertised pools here. Even at 1-minute block intervals, the orphan rate of utc.tumblingblock.com is over 5%, and the orphan rate is over 2% on top of a 3% fee at utc2.tumblingblock.com! You can easily fix the problem of this coin being the 5% guaranteed inefficiency coin... Consolidate the two pools. It doesn't help to 'balance' the two--in fact, it hurts. There is something which is not 'friendly' to UTC taking advantage of this scenario. It seems to have a hashrate that is at least 3 times both tumblingblock pools combined! You can still charge a 1% fee or what not if that is really important to you--better than 5%. But you need to allow miners from the two pools to consolidate onto one without being punished for it!!! What you have now hurts the coin...

Someone found good settings for NVIDIA 970 cards?
Autotune makes my rig crash Sad

I am using these configs

GTX 970 @ 2.75-2.85 kh/s: --algo=scrypt-jane:15 -L 8 -i 1 -l t64x4 -C 1 -b 65536
GTX 750ti @ 0.98 kh/s: --algo=scrypt-jane:15 -H 2 -i 0 -m 1 -l t5x24 -L 8 -b 65536

I hope this helps all Nvidia miners. If anyone else has better configs please do share. Smiley
These are basically same configs as for nfactor-14 but with lookup gap (-L) at 8 instead of 4.

I get horrible speeds on my R9 290 . About 1 KH/s . The same speed as on my 280X cards.

I see that ATI cards get around 4 times less than on NF14, but NVIDIA cards go down only 3 times in hashrate, damn wish I had more Nvidias Sad
280X - 1,2 kH/s is OK
290 - 1,4 kH/s is OK
Because you have the wrong AMD cards for high N factors Smiley
U mean 6-8gb cards?
Or new R9-285?
Or even Firepro?
I dunno other amds.
absolutely not.  Looking at the wrong end of the rainbow you are.
Oh, I see. You mean low-power cards with a lot of memory? Like 7850/270X with 4Gb?

I played with miner settings on my rig (4x280X):
- core 1200->1000 MHz: hashrate decreased;
- mem 1500->1125 MHz: same hashrate;
- 2GB-settings -> hashrate decreased.

So... much mem is good, but powerfull core is important too.
Wanna see 290X-8GB hashrates!

This may get kind of interesting if the LTC tsunami washes over UTC

Yes, @ 1200/1500 seem to be working, getting the same 1174h/s for 4 out of 5 GPUs the sick one gets around 445h/s then goes sick again.
config from configgen


Gettin` 1188 h/s on 280X @ 1200/1500
Now 4 (cards) x 20-25 accepts without HW.
Config from configgen.

FAAK, the rig died when rebooting through TW, HAHAHA, have to go and restart it manually tomorrow, that's what you get for being to greedy  Cheesy

@ Wirly Thanks for trying to help! Might be back again when its up again tomorrow...


Reboot the rigs. Do not just restart the miners when you make these changes.

So this is the batfile:
C:\Users\Mining1\Desktop\Yacminer-3.5.0-yac2-x86\yacminer.exe --scrypt-chacha -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.tumblingblock.com:5555 -u worker.1 -p password -R 2560 -g 1 -w 128 --buffer-size 2590 --lookup-gap 8 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1250 --temp-cutoff 85 --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

gives me: 0 (Sick), 978,978, 450, 130

I use the data from configgen and have this setup for all my rigs:
C:\Users\Mining1\Desktop\Yacminer-3.5.0-yac2-x86\yacminer.exe --scrypt-chacha -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.tumblingblock.com:5555 -u worker.1 -p password -R 2560 -g 1 -w 128 --buffer-size 2590 --lookup-gap 8 --temp-cutoff 85 --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

From that I get different results for every rig:

5 x Sapphire Dual-x R9 280x 3GB: 998h/s, 998h/s, 490h/s ,139h/s & one SICK
5 x Sapphire Dual-x R9 280x 3GB: 998h/s, 998h/s, 998h/s, 362h/s & one DEAD
5 x Sapphire Dual-x R9 280x 3GB: 998h/s, 998h/s, 490h/s ,139h/s & one SICK
4 x Sapphire Dual-x R9 280x 3GB: 998h/s, 998h/s, 998h/s, & one DEAD

5 x ASUS Radeon R9 280x 3GB: 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s & one DEAD
5 x ASUS Radeon R9 280x 3GB: 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s & one DEAD
4 x ASUS Radeon R9 280x 3GB: 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s, 1,047Kh/s & one DEAD

5 x MSI Radeon R9 3 GB: 998h/s, 998h/s, 998h/s, 998h/s, 998h/s

Anyone got any idea why one card is always dead in each rig from Sapphire/ASUS but not from the MSI-cards?
Before mininig at N14 they didn't go DEAD/Sick...?

Friends share settings for R9 28x 0and R9 270x. Just not here - http://cfg.ultracoin.net/ the result is less than it should be.
Thank U.
Coz MSI iz teh best!

You are having memory issues, to much engine speed not enough memory. You can see that your gpu 0, 1 and 2 are affecting each other and 3 and 4 are proly sharing. Depending on the design of your MOB your GPU may be sharing a data bus. Example, my 6 gpu rigs are the same and  gpu1 and 4 share a bus and changing anything on 1 affects 4, but only when there are 6 gpu's running. try gpu-engine 1000 and gpu-memclock of 1250 for start.

So tried --gpu-engine 1031, 1031, 1031, 1031, 1031 and get : 0 (Sick/dead), 1,009 Kh/s, 1,009Kh/s, 490h/s, 134h/s.
Then I try --gpu-engine 900, 1031, 1031, 900, 900 and get: 0 (Sick/dead), 881h/s, 881h/s, 489h/s, 130h/s
Why is GPU 1 and 2 affected by the GPU 0 engine set?

@SecretsOfCrypto

Rapture has always been my online alias; in the beginning anonymity was important to me, just like many in the crypto word, but it is much less so now that I am doing professional work for Ultracoin and using my full name all the time. I am not a hard target to dox either.
Is it a religious rapture, or just a normal rapture?  Tongue

Non-religious definition, Rapture 1. "a feeling of intense pleasure or joy." Also the name of my motorcycle  Cool
