Title: Cuda 9.0 can potentially bring more MH/s?
Post by: h2gvaka on July 22, 2017, 02:28:14 PM
I saw latest nVidia drivers got Cuda 9.0 code. Any rumors/info if Cuda 9.0 is bringing something for mininig software? Maybe we can see some MH/s bump?

Yes there will be some improvement, but hard to say how much. Just compiling the ethminer with CUDA 9 won't help I guess, but I will give it a try this weekend

Yeah, I bet just compiling won't help. Low level programming is a Spanish village to me but I guess guys developing miners can squeeze some  Mhs out of Cuda 9.0 improvements..
