Up guys !

Good Bounties available !  :)

That's not an impossible task.
The code is working for AMD cards, but the original developer just didn't have an nvidia card to do it ...

@j0nn9 - Any new performance improvements coming or nvidia miner?

Since i don't have any Nvidia cards, I'm not capable of porting the miner to Nvidia.

Okay.

How to say that.... ping @Everyone


HE DID IT !
The current GPUminer now works with NVIDIA cards. All you have to do is to replace the current fermat.cl (https://github.com/gapcoin-project/GapMiner/blob/master/gpu/fermat.cl) file by the 'new' one.
This new file still seems to work with AMD cards.


We can properly thank benxy031 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=375434) for his solution to make the current miner work, with the NVIDIA cards.


How To :
You just have to use this fermat.cl (https://github.com/wizz13150/GapcoinStuff/blob/main/Custom/fermat.cl) instead of the default one. That's all !! :o
This is not an Update. This is a Fix.

(in the gpuminer's "gpu" directory, no need to (re)compile)
(Temporary link, before integrating it properly into the project and releases.)


Obviously, that doesn't change the problem of a new miner or an evolution of the current miner.
But after so long without a working NVIDIA miner, it's still Awesome !


Enjoy, Plug in whatever you have  :D, and don't forget benxy031 !


I'll run a GTX660 5 CUs (1M PPS), GTX970 with 13 CUs (1.6M PPS), 750ti with 5 CUs (700K PPS).
I've tested a Quadro 410 512mb, it gives me 200K PPS for 1 CUs  :D  That's the low limit.

Good Luck & Have Fun :)
2021 smells good.
