SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

[toptek]

mine to windows support.

V5 will be my favorite version

As I see FGLRX constant has been removed from params.h. So, for 15.12 fglrx leave params.h as is?

• v4: Nvidia support → DONE

What is the hash rate of 1070 with V4?

30 s/s on one, and very very very high CPU usage .

 


Really it is a shame, that there is no opensource miner for nvidia, only with devfee one, which makes 53-54 s/s on one 1070, and low cpu usage.

[doktor83]

well if it's a shame that no one wants to make one free, then make one yourself.
People work a LOT on these things, even on free versions, so tell me again, why would anyone give it to you for free?

Do you have a link..or copy of it..the links i found are all gone.

I got it working, but as I was already suspecting from experiences with my own ZECMiner, running multiple solver instances doesn't work on Windows. A more sophisticated solver has to be written to fully utilize GPU resources. So this make the Windows port not very competitive with Claymore's miner.  

--edit--

i just noticed my port sends many duplicates to the pool. have to figure out why that is.

Wow! with gtx 1070 and windows 10 x64 how much the hashrate ? you know ? .

[doktor83]

try it and tell us

[giagge]

Need compiler for win .

Wait for compiling version .

Genoil, you forgot to tell people that they need to install python on windows too
X64 : https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe

Yes that is true. For anyone that has downloaded before I make this post, please download again. I fixed the duplicate shares bug.

And download python for windows. Make sure to have the installer add python to the system PATH.

[doktor83]

yes, and replace in .bat python with py to make it work.

[Genoil]

ok done 

never used python before.

CPU usage of this port is about half of my 0.6.

As far as I know there is no NVIDIA closed-source miner with devfee that makes 53-54 S/s (hopefully you are not referring to this scam https://github.com/zcminer-dev/zcminer).

So for now Tromp-based miners are the only one available for NVIDIA (for example, https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer).

why is zcminer scam? it works for me (nvidia 1070 ~60s/s) for 5 days

It worked fine for me on Ubuntu 16.04 but only gave me around 56 Sols/s (or was it 52? Can't remember) on a GTX 1080. While certainly better than any other Nvidia miner available, it used too much CPU so I couldn't use my CPU to mine anything (or rather, they "evened each other out" making CPU mining pointless) so I just stopped and went mining with Nicehash instead.

Now, regarding Genoil's Windows version, it gives me about 27-28 Sols/s on my GTX 1080 which is about the same as Nicehas's GUI miner does.

me neither LOL  
C++ neither

But i installed VS , and the AMD SDK and resolved all the include dirs (your D:\lib\CL lol) and stuff like that.
So now i am able to compile it successfully.

Still need to learn c++ cause its far from C# which i know a little.

Works fine for me on zec.suprnova.cc:2142 on nvidia 1060 and 970:

Works but 33sols for 1070 with good OC - so sad...
