Title: Nvidia Grid K1
Post by: speedyrazor on December 27, 2017, 11:02:15 PM
Hi, I have use of a Nvidia Grid K1 card (I know this is a bit old and wont earn much, but I would like to test it out), but whatever I use with it, I just cant seem to get anything to mine with it.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this card and mining / setup please?

Kepler cards use Compute Compatibility 3.0 which is not compiled into ccminer by default.

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/wiki/Compatibility

You need to uncomment https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/blob/windows/Makefile.am#L118 and recompile ccminer.

OK, cool, thanks for the info. I am new to this, and have been looking around for a guide on how to compile ccminer on windows, but couldn't turn anything up.
Could you point me in the right direction of a guide or something to get me going please?

Google "ccminer visual studio" and you will get results like https://github.com/ZiftrCOIN/ccminer/blob/master/build_notes_win.txt and https://www.creativechain.org/mining-crea-with-keccak/

Thats excellent info, thanks. Using those guides, i have been able to compile ccminer with Compute Compatibly 3.0.
I have previously been using MultiPoolMiner with a 1080Ti and CPU, so now need to use this compiled ccminer with the Grid K1 card. I tried a few commands with different coins and algos but get various 'unsupported' errors, including "Sorry neoscrypt is not supported on SM 3.0 devices", "Sorry, This algo is not supported by this GPU arch (SM 3.0 required)", "Invalid Device Symbol".
Could someone point me in the correct direction please?
