Title: miner battle: z-enemy 1.16 (x64) vs. t-rex 0.5.7 [x16r / ravencoin] Post by: kerzNOberz on August 15, 2018, 03:22:54 PM Head to Head test of Z-enemy 1.16 Vs t-rex 0.5.7 (X16R Ravencoin) I've been wanting to compare performance between z-enemy and t-rex on the X16R algorithm for some time. This will be a test done in the vein of JackIt's tests in the past, where I ask which miner puts more coins in my wallet? Setup: For this first test, I'm using a 4 GPU rig with Zotac 1080 Ti Minis running Windows 10 x64. I started an instance of each miner at the same time (using 2 GPUs each) running on the same pool (Ravenminer) and the same machine. The miners will run for ~12 hours (started around 8AM PST 8/15), I'll stop them simultaneously, and we'll see how many coins are in the 2 wallets. I will likely run this test 2-3 times to ensure that the results are consistent. Overclock: 100% TDP, +110 core clock, stock memory Drivers: 398.82 Miners: Z-enemy 1.16 x64, CUDA 9.2, intensity 22 (thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3378390.0)) vs. T-rex 0.5.7 , CUDA 9.2 , intensity 22 (thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4432704.0)) . Both miners have a 1% dev fee. Running auto (server set) difficulty on both miners, it appears to stabilize in the 60-75 range. For the first test Z-enemy will use GPU0&1 and t-rex will use GPU2&3. For the second round, I'll switch which GPUs each software uses to control for variations in hardware & PCIe slot. Results: ROUND #1: 650 minutes z-enemy 1.16 : 38.63 RVN: pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RTRrTjepaKnGFe2WjnFCBKUYnUgsvkLi7M) t-rex 0.5.7 : 42.50 RVN (+10.0%) : pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RCcDGb9aL1zMmnY5vzodqswm7UAcL9CY9y) ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3) ROUND #2: 750 minutes z-enemy 1.16 : 109.63 RVN (+7.3%): pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RQpJ5RtkarKWqBZvEmmwkn8keqPvXv5kKF) ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3) t-rex 0.5.7 : 102.16RVN : pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RAp7K198246evRfFD1KieCBeBo9euP5Vha) Round #3: 250 minutes z-enemy 1.16 : 39.79 RVN (+13.7%) : pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RBhHCXapCwJaRwRpef8fZfmVcWUfRwSHx) ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3) t-rex 0.5.7 : 35.98 RVN : pool link (https://ravenminer.com/?address=RNwAsrDLDxKbYrKnpF1tJKTJvEqwUB4Vex) TEST FAILED!!! GPU2&3 are winning every test (rig unbalanced). I'm going to redo the test on another rig in hopes of conclusive results. new test here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4907176 Title: Re: Head to Head: z-enemy 1.16 (x64) vs t-rex 0.5.7 :: x16r Ravencoin Post by: kerzNOberz on August 15, 2018, 03:30:41 PM GPU-Z shot of one of the 1080 Tis:

I will post results here soon. On to ROUND #2 , I switched which set of 2 GPUs is used for each miner.

On default intencity.

And next round run without -i. On default intencity. I'm not running static difficulty (see my post). I will probably test intensity at a later time.

It looks like --i 22 is optimum for t-rex but it isn't for z-enemy. Z-enemy need -i 19/20 param it's optimum for that miner.

It looks like --i 22 is optimum for t-rex but it isn't for z-enemy. Z-enemy need -i 19/20 param it's optimum for that miner. Nah, I’ve optimized these in the past on my system and z enemy performs better at 21.5/22 intensity. I can test them again at different intensities (or their standard intensities). This is a test of the intensities that run the best on my machine.
