To get 42.8 - 43+ MH/s, I did the following:


1. Download the latest Claymore v14.6 -> https://mega.nz/#F!O4YA2JgD!n2b4iSHQDruEsYUvTQP5_w

2. Set up .bat file -> EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool IP_POOL:PORT -ewal ETH_WALLET.rig1 -epsw x -mode 1 -strap 4 -sintensity 50
(sintensity let it be in the range from 1 to 100) find that is stable.

"Strap 4" is the most important here, because it reduces low memory latency.

3. In MSI AfterBurner, sets the memory clock of 730+ to how much it can be stable. Power limit can be reduced to a voltage of about 900mv.


This card gives 43.2 MH/s at 800 OC memory.

Please, let me know if it works 8GB on the Asus P104-100. I really need this information.

You can try some of these bioses:

Nice, Good job! Cool  MSI P104-100 works steady 42.8 MH/s. No improvement in speed as before.

Does anyone know, how is it possible to unlock 2560 CUDA cores?

I found this information, that someone wrote:

- 8GB of GDDR5X of which half are disabled via BIOS

- PCI-E 1.1 X4 enforced with BIOS, true hardware form PCI-E 3.0 X16

- Display engine is disabled with BIOS, the I / O ports are actually mechanically functional

- 1920 CUDA cores instead of the default 2560  (possibly all 2560 on board)


Thanks darkneorus!

You guys should thank me i spent the last two days try to find this bios managed to find a 8 GB bios on tech power up can confirm it installed on my EVGA P104-100 4gb and made it 8GB and everything works fine......the Bios you provided worked for me but my Fans were constantly on 85% or more this BIOS fans work FINE here it is https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/210804/210804
yup, I've uploaded it to techpowerup. tried it for two days.
at first I thought that all is working fine, but then I've noticed that all reflashed GPUs are abnormally hot, even while mining eth. flashed back the stock vbios, got 10+ degrees C lower temps.

P102 uses 10 memory banks *512MB, so no solution for 102  Wink

just google the board layout and u'll find the answer.
actually I have 148 P104s and my friend has done his upgrade from 4 to 8GB with posting his cards to flash. since I'm a CS student I want to find the way to flash my own.

So being a "computer science student" you want to ask other people on the internet how to do it instead of your friend that has already done it?  Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

lmfao, My friend bought the service from local dealer and the card need to be posted to the dealer and post back. in public domain, even TechPowerUp doesn't have any 8GB vbios of P104, and Btalk is the best bbs to ask ppl for help about mining. you even dont know how hard this problem is before insulting ppl, so stfu.

P.S. I've already got the VBios for P104, any brand without ASUS and GIGABYTE can open all 8GB mem I'll share it on TechPowerUp and give a link later.

why not just dump from your friends gpu using nvflash?

and btw, what brand gpus he has?

Yes, would be interesting to know if it's possible to unlock 10GB of memory on the P102 GPU?
