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

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.

ROUND #1 complete. I will post results here soon. On to ROUND #2 , I switched which set of 2 GPUs is used for each miner.

t-rex takes round #1 by a solid 10% in earnings. could be due to the variability in the X16R algorithm, so we'll need a few more rounds before we declare t-rex the winner.

Remove d=15. Its to slow for 2x1080Ti. 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.

Dude, this is two different miners and they need different intensity --i params for optimal working! 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.

...which shows that your rounds are way too short to give any meaningful result. Especially with an algo like x16R... and even more today when the network is having a massive difficulty rape.
