Title: Automatic Overclocking / Tuning - Bounty for improved software. ??? Post by: Transisto on August 21, 2011, 03:07:08 PM Aren't we all interested in something better than CCC "auto-tune" specific for stable mining ?
I know it can be done manually but some people here have dozens of GPUs of variable model, brands and bins. The thing is, when a GPU run unstable the computer can freeze, and waiting for it rebooting take t0o much time. A GPU can become unstable and freeze the OS after hours or days of work and, guess what, that take t0o much time ! These work conditions are not humane, programmers, help us out ! I do not expect it to be perfectly reliable, as long as it can help find the average stability threshold automaticly. (I'd downclock by 30-50 mhz and be done with it) Features I'd like to see : Start overclock at X Time vs fine tuning trade-off Continue on reboot (obviously) Learn from previous profile, (same model) Down voltage mode : find lowest voltage at a given speed. It could be mining while it's stability tested and on reboot show dialog : "your computer rebooted unexpectedly, would you like to downclock your gpu by 5 / 10mhz / NO " (one GPU per machine for simplicity) I think a USB bootable Linux version would be preferable over a windows version. Realizable ? / time frame ? / bounty size ? Thanks for your input. Title: Re: Automatic Overclocking / Tuning - Bounty for improved software. ???

Realizable ? / time frame ? / bounty size ? Thanks for your input. Using what I already have setup in BAMT, this is probably about a day's work. At current prices, bounty of 75 BTC and I'll be happy to provide it. |
