Title: New ZCash OpenLC miner
Post by: maztheman on October 16, 2017, 07:13:26 PM
Hello all,

I got a Windows build working for my new OpenCL miner, im looking for people to test compatibility.  Please check it out at https://github.com/maztheman/nheqminer/releases/tag/BETA1
Let me know if there is a gpu that is not working at all, or has terrible performance.  Anyhow, thanks in advanced for testing it for me!

Wouldn't hurt if you give out some more details about the miner, would it?

What GPUs it is designed for and should work on, what performance you are getting on what GPUs... things like that can help get people attention.

Okay,

I designed it for NVIDIA at the start, but AMD and Intel Gpu's work pretty good too.

Its programmed in OpenCL, so it should be compatible with any gpu's and CPU's with OpenCL 1.2 support.

The issue is I dont have any "high" end GPU's to test with, so I dont know the performance on them.

GTX 650 - 13-17 sols/s
AMD Oland - ~20 sols/s
Intel HD4000 - 8-10 sols/s

Uses ~580MB of GPU memory and Uses very little cpu time (except with some intel gpu's due to driver).

For comparison EBWF gets 16-17 sols/s on my GTX 650.

ok got some results

- GTX 1080 Ti is getting 600+ sols/s
- GTX 1070 is getting 350 sols/s peak.

More results as i get them.  This is not fully optimized for these high ends cards, so there is room for improvement.
