Surprised that very few in this thread have discussed playing with the graphics tuning -gt
In all likelihood the default of 15 is not optimal for most cards, you guys are definitely leaving some hash on the table.

I agree.
I wrote up a procedure for manually tuning the cards for the best -gt values a few pages back.
It's time consuming if you heave lots of cards but well worth the exercise.
The default is not giving users the most hashes.

I hope PhoenixMiner decides to implement the auto tuning like Claymore did.
it takes a process that can take hours down to about 1 minute.

@PhoenxiMiner
Please implement the auto tune feature in a release soon.
It's a big deal.





Just read your earlier posts - so the -gt is only relevant for AMD cards?

Thanks!

Is there a guide somewhere for exactly how the -gt option affects things?  What does it make changes to, and to what degree?

Thanks for the work!

New version of Excavator is out:

https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.4.0a

It's addressing the 'cuda out of memory' issues on NeoScrypt.

is there a CL argument to use to temporarily disable NeoScrypt until it can be resolved?


Never mind.  I have 2x1080ti @ 11gb ram.  Upped my paging space to 30gb and that fixed the problem.  Probably overkill on size, but I know now it should at LEAST be 2x total video RAM.

Still following to see if there are any further developments, but it's working for now.

Still getting the same error with a 1080 ti.  I updated excavator and increased paging FYI.
