21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 20, 2013, 06:45:46 PM
Got an extra 20khash boost out of the crummy CPU.  At least now this computer will be doing something useful.

That puts me over 300khash.

Is there a way to force Cudaminer to utilize more CPU so that I don't have to run Cudaminer and CPUminer at the same time?

Cudaminer doesn't actually use the CPU to "mine", just the sha256 stuff that can now also be done on the GPU itself. So if you want to mine with your CPU also, you need a separate miner.

getting 105-107 kHash/s from aGT 640 (GDDR5 model), overclocked. Wow.

Has anyone figured out yet which nVidia cards give

- best kHash/s per USD (or per EUR) ?
- best kHash/s per Watt (not just the GPU's TDP, but actual power draw including memory chips)?

I like the overclockability of GTX 780. Despite having just 12 SMX it seems to reach the same kHash/s levels as my 15 SMX wielding 780 Ti's. I can only configure 106% TDP, whereas the 780 seems to allow much more.

You could try skyn3ts bioses (unlocks pretty much everything you'd want) http://www.overclock.net/t/1438886/official-nvidia-gtx-780-ti-owners-club (scroll down and read ^^)

No luck with my 580 and the latest version, its basically cooking itself with no performance increase.
gtx660 got a nice performance bump  Smiley

Yeah, just use the 12-10 version until/if he can fix the increased temps w/o performance increase on older cards, or at least on the 580 since my result with the new version is the same ^^ I mean, if there was an equal performance increase for the heat I'd be fine with it, but absolute waste when it performs the same/slightly less with all that extra heat.

Does anyone have settings for a 690 that doesn't absolutely melt the device? How can I throttle this thing to make it less intense?

Try running with -i -- it'll reduce the speed a little bit.

I _just_ got my 690 up and running and am still having driver issues with it (I can't run on both devices at the same time, sigh).

But with a single device running with -d1 -m1 -lK8x16
I'm seeing about 270-275 kh/s
and after a few minutes my card is at 78C.  It's freestanding (motherboard-on-a-table kind of thing).  78 is not something you want to stick your tongue on, but it shouldn't hurt the card.

What kind of temperatures are you seeing from nvidia-smi?  What hash rates and what config?

(And - for my own use - if you're running Linux, which driver are you using that works?  *grins*)

I tried running "-i --" but that just put interactive mode to 0 and made my pc unresponsive.

I'm seeing 400 KH/s in total with default settings on my 690 on Windows 8.1

Is there really no way for to have my 690 only mine at 60 % for example?

I'm guessing that should be -i 1

That's a very old version, go get the latest one and see if it works better: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/msi_afterburner_beta_download.html

Mines the same performance wise, although running hotter the same as yours. Major improvement on an 670 I tried on though, best previous was 230ish, now it's at 330-350! With above mentioned 14x14 conf, can't remember the previous one.

Any more details on this? I have the 14x14 config running on my 670, and am only at ~244, even with interactive mode disabled.

Full config is -H 1 -i 0 -m 1 -l K14x14 x64 exe, win 7, 331.93 drivers. I'm guessing you haven't overclocked your card either, that card boosts to 1280~1300mhz core, memory sits at around 3500mhz.

Ran it some more on my 580 too, heat is way crazy now, performance is the same as 12-10 build, but where it stopped at around 76C there, it now goes up to 84 and beyond :/ Worse than furmark haha. Cooled with an accelero xtreme II at 100%, so a 10C increase is quite a lot.

Oh and also auto with debug on seems to fail a ton on the 670 now, gives some 1&jhash /similar error config then starts hashing at <20khs. Without debug it's a really low config like 2x1 6x4 or similar, which also sucks.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 18, 2013, 12:31:11 PM
Looks like my GTX580 doesn't like the latest build (both x64 and x86). For some reason the core temperature increases with ~8 degrees, while performing slightly slower. GPU load is 99% all the time.

Hi,

I have 2 680's, and letting Cudaminer automatically find the best settings for each card individually, it tells me 16x14 is ideal - which it appears to be. If I run one of my cards at that (either one), it'll give 200+ khs.

Trying to run both cards at the same time (with -H 2 -d 0,1 -l K16x14,K16x14) and the rate drops to around 0.7 khs - whats going on?

The only config I've found that gives anything other than either <1khs or a crash is 8x24, and that tops out at about 220khs with both cards running.

Any ideas how it can be improved?

Thank you Smiley

Tried it with -H 0/1 and different combinations of -C 0/1/2, 32/64bit exe ? And also disabling sli, since I don't have sli/xfire I don't know that much about the problems myself, but everywhere I've read about it people seem to say it's a bad idea when mining, no idea if it's the same or not with cudaminer though.

-H 2 with the new version gives me 10kH/s less on both x86 & x64, and also x64 is still marginally faster for me than x86.
On win 8.1 x64.

Problem is, with capital letters it's just "unknown", with non-capital the program just crashes, even with "f", which is the correct one for my card..

you'll get a warning that the launch config is unrecognized, but it does indeed work (assuming you use uppercase letters)

But you need to watch out for minimum requirements regarding compute capability.

Christian



Oh ok cool! Will try to experiment a bit then.
Do you think you could change the text there to be a bit more obvious about it actually working? I mean I understand this isn't exactly something everyone will do, but should be a minor code change I guess with just some text?
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 08, 2013, 11:28:02 PM
Yeah it's the whole -l F / -l f (and that's even the correct kernel for my card, 580) etc thing that doesn't work, at least as far as I can understand the readme we're supposed to be able to do something like that, and it will autotune with my choosen settings, and for the kernel that I specify from the list of L/F/K/T.
Only result I get though is either "Given launch config 'x' does not validate" or the program crashes so yeah.. Otherwise I'm using the given launch config of F16x14 which I got out of normal autotune run with -D yes.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 08, 2013, 10:27:45 PM
I'm quite aware of the normal autotuning, what I want to try is force it to autotune with another kernel and see if there could be any gains like you found, albeit unstable.
Problem is, with capital letters it's just "unknown", with non-capital the program just crashes, even with "f", which is the correct one for my card..

Interesting! Thx for the summary.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 08, 2013, 09:05:01 PM
How do you make it autotune for an specific generation btw? Would like to experiment like blackraven here above. Am I just missing something very obvious here or is it just broken? All kinds of combinations I can think of end up in either crashes, even when using the correct Fermi config (-l f?) which is my card, or just "unknow operator"
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 07, 2013, 01:27:18 AM
Ok spoke a little too soon.  Hash rate on 2 780s is now 620 khash/s.  Utilisation is 70% for one, 78% for the other.  Is this about the best I can hope for or can the cards be maxed to give more?

Based on my understanding of the readme, try removing one card and then find the best combination for the other card, then put the other one in and do the same thing. Then use the appropriate launch config for each card. Try it with -i 0 -H 1 -C 0/1/2 -D. Do a few runs and see which one gives you the highest hash rate, note down the launch config (letter)number x number, then use that with the -l operator.

Edit: guess you could specify an device with the -d operator and not have to remove or disable anything

For reference, I'm getting 99% usage and 320kH/s on my 580, albeit highly overclocked but still, you should be getting quite a lot more imo.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 06, 2013, 08:43:49 PM
My GPU drivers are the latest ones.  311..something.  Is there anything else I need to install apart from Nvidia drivers and Cuda 5.5?
331.82 is the latest.
http://www.geforce.com/drivers
On Windows you don't need to install CUDA seperately. CUDA is included with the driver.

Thanks.  I'll uninstall everything and give it another go with a driver reinstall.  Will the autotune detect both cards or will I need to write the script to reflect the setup?

http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=379506 Display driver uninstaller, good for clearing everything out before a new install. Newest driver as of right now is 331.93, didn't give me anything over 82 though, it does have newer sli profiles for games though which you would benefit from I guess.
If you want to use different setups for the cards you can do that, check the readme, it explains how to with an example setup. Otherwise it'll just use the same settings for both if you don't specify anything else far as I understand it.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: December 05, 2013, 07:49:58 PM
Really, what other settings? 16x16 with my config gives me only ~200kH/s
cudaminer64.exe -H 1 -i 0 -d 0 -l F16x16 -C 2 --no-autotune

Device driver ver. 314.22 WHQL

Strange.. guess it's the other hardware/driver ver diff. in our rigs then. Or our cards are just veery different haha.
Anyways, why the --no-autotune? Far as I can understand it, if you specify an launch config like we do with (letter)numberxnumber any kind of autotuning is disabled.

Early christmas present for all 580 (and maybe 570?) users:
-H 1 -i 0 -l F16x14 -C 2 x64 exe
Currently hashing at ~320kH/s! My 580 is running @970Mhz core / 2200Mhz mem. Mem speed doesn't affect much if at all, biggest increase is core. So if you can clock higher by lowering your memory, make a mine profile for that and another for normal games if you need the mem speed, usually though core is better there too.
My GTX580 peaks with the F16x16 config (~293 kH/s @ 825MHz). And indeed the mem clock can be slashed down without impact on the performance.

Really, what other settings? 16x16 with my config gives me only ~200kH/s
