ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1

[calculatorduck]

So I tried a version compiled with CUDA 6.5 on Windows 10 with the nvidia 347.52 driver and I'm only getting about 3mh/s on an GTX 760. This same build gets me about 13-14mh/s on Win7.

Is Win10 just totally screwed up?

Still no luck figuring this out...can't get any decent numbers in Win10 even with the older drivers and CUDA 6.5. Anyone have any suggestions?

switch to the custom old WDDM driver

I can build this to work on linux? Any instructions on how to do this anywhere? Thanks in advance

I'm working on a new README.md. Almost there. For now, check out he knowledge base on ethpool. It has build instructions for my miner.

I finally got DAG chunking working today. Not that it's really required now that the right AMD environment vars have been found. If there happens to be demand for it anyway, please let me know so I can implement it in a clean way that doesn't hurt the non-chunked version. Because on AMD chunking does negatively affect performance.

Thanks I found the instructions for compiling on ubuntu

switch to the custom old WDDM driver

Sorry, which driver is this?

[PcChip]

look at Genoil's first post in this thread, FAQ #1

Edit: if you're already using the old drivers, verify it is NOT using WDDM 2.0  
  
if it is on the old WDDM, then just give up and put the cards into a spare Win7 box (is what I would do - some things are not worth the effort fighting with)  
  

Speaking of fighting with something - I've managed to get this far building it on Ubuntu Xenial:

- built the miner only without setting -DBUNDLE to cudaminer  
- tried running cmake again with -DBUNDLE=cudaminer  
  
got this far:

Maybe I should take my own advice and switch it to a Win7 box ?

Thanks, I'm using the 347 drivers and a build compiled with CUDA 6.5 so I think that's what he's talking about, that's why I was confused as it's still not working on Win10 unfortunately.

Ok  - the error ways "mvcc fatal  : redefinition of the argument 'std'
SO, let's change that -

**make your change (removing --std) to libethash-cuda/CMakeFiles/ethash-cuda.dir/ethash-cuda_generated_ethash_cuda_miner_kernel.cu.o.cmake

set(nvcc_flags -m64;--std;c++11;-DETH_JSONRPC;-DETH_READLINE;-DETH_MINIUPNPC;-DETH_ETHASHCL;-DETH_ETHASHCUDA;-DETH_STRATUM;-DETH_CURL;-DETH_FRONTIER;-DETH_TRUE) # list

Delete the "--std" and try your build again.

Hey Genoil, I have a 5770 I could do some testing on with your "chunked" version.
Did you make a new fork? Or is it in the 107 branch?

thx

AMD 5770 has at most 1GB memory. So it will not work to mine Ethereum, even with the "chunked" version.

Ah - I misunderstood what he meant by "chunked".
There was an effort some time ago to allow 1GB cards to use a "streamed" DAG - at least I can only assume that's how one would do it.
Thanks for the info.
Some 5770's have 2GB of RAM per core, I don't have one of those. I have the std 2 core 1GB per core.

Just want to ask if this miner can mine using this GPU http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-21234-00-40G/dp/B00JS8JRHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460828841&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+gpu+8g

I am planning to buy this GPU card or to upgrade my super pc..

YOU CAN MINE WITH IT--

It will mine digital currency, including ETH.  However, it is not a CUDA card, it is AMD.  That won't stop you from mining with it, though.       --scyptr

[molitar]

I am having a severe problem with this version of ethminer!  I never got Failure: GPU gave incorrect results ever before!  This Genoil appears to be unreliable first time using it. it ran good for a while than stopped mining with that error.

Windows 7 x64
Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280x 3GB
XFX R9 380x DD Black Edition 4GB

I have not had a failure with the original ethminer but I am using the switch -S with this one which the original does not have.

ethminer -G -S coinotron.com:3344 -O username.workername:workerpassword

original line is ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://coinotron.com:3342/username.workername:workerpassword

What could be possibly wrong?  This happened only after several hours of running.

Also have trouble but  sintax "ethminer -G -S coinotron.com:3344 -O username.workername:workerpassword" job unstable.
What parametr -F mean?

P.S Params -G -F not job. Params -G -S job unstable and freeze (stop after some time....)

P.S.S Params -F (Work farming mode:
    -F,--farm <url>  Put into mining farm mode with the work server at URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:8545))

Genoil how you doing boss? I have 2 GTX 980s, i usually mine at night, because when ethminer is running my computer is unusable. However I was thinknig, can I just make one video card mine? So that way the other can run my computer normally. I tried putting cuda devices to 1, but it didnt seem to do anything
thanks

Re: unstable stratum; try 1.0.7 beta in 107 branch release folder.

Please add next epoch dag generation in new version
