Title: Can anyone recommend a fail-safe Ubuntu Build for ZCash using NVidia 1080ti's Post by: JohnWave on December 12, 2017, 01:15:32 AM Hello there!
I am looking to build Ubuntu 16.04 with (3) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's for starters (plan to add one more) to mine ZCash using EWBF Miner. I have already performed the following with little success: Asus Prime P270-P Motherboard 1350Watt PSU 16GB RAM 240GB SSD Base Ubuntu Server build installed CUDA 9.0 as per instructions here-=> https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads installed 1080ti drivers from NVidia version 384 (latest long term release) installed EWBF Miner 0.34b Once I installed CUDA 9.0 the following command did *not* work: nvcc --version it recommended i install "sudo apt-get install cuda-toolkit" of which installed version 7.5 nvcc --version *did* work However when running the actual EWBF Miner the GPU temp would be zero and the miner would freeze up. Does anyone have a fail-safe guide or step by step to use in order to get the a succesfull Ubunut miner? I have have plenty of issues with Windows and was hoping to get a plain vanilla Ubuntu minig build. Thank you in advance!

http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-linux I've always found these to work with a vanilla 16.04.3 server. You'll still need to install the cuda-toolkit, but that's about it... |
