[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[djm34]

hi im just trying to running 3X asus gtx 750ti running on win 8.1 64 bit but i got this error
unable to query number of cuda devices! is an nvidia driver installed
- driver is installed

not the correct one I suppose. You need the latest

oh 1Gb... ok, I will release a version with lower vram usage...
I don't think it change anything for the 750ti, but it slightly decreases the perf. for the big guns... (which become slightly underused...)

You are too cool minutes
I look forward to it.  ^,,^
Donation after release xcn ^^

Ok this one should work it uses only ~750Mb of vram...
https://mega.co.nz/#!NAlRAZYT!cXaPp798Ns5Icujkoui4hKmdeRX1YR81cWTdOOAZouw

The perf are slitly worst than the previous for the 750ti, so I would still use the other one for the 750ti...

That fixed the issue with the non ti 750's too, won over 1mh per card with this one will donate some of the next freshly mined coins in a bit.
Thanks djm , awesome work

( sent 237 xcn, what i got since i updated )

Great work djm! I've sent you 200 XCN. My 2 gb 750's were working flawlessly with the original v5. So glad I didn't buy the 1gb ones. So the Ti's are doing around 4600 khs and the non ti's are doing now 4300.

[Skarfur]

Thanks! djm. Sent you a 1000 XCN donation for your efforts.

Im so happy that people are donating

Bless you all

Running m7 on my 750 TIs, it says 1228mb used on cards that are NOT my primary display card. The primary display card shows a minimum of 1355mb used. This would explain why a 1GB non-TI card would have issues.  For comparison, running jackpot the numbers are 525ish and 635ish (display).

So I was correct about why non-Ti's cards were bombing on m7 since they can run the 750mb version miner now?

can someone help me please, i have decided to put my gb 750Ti back to work mineing Cnote after useing it in my media box, i have a fresh install of windows 8.1 Pro fully updated, newest Nvidia drivers and CCminer for Cnote coins and every time i try and run it it keeps giving me MSVCR100.DLL is missing from your computer. I have Visual Studio 2010 SP1 redistributable installed but it still claims its missing from my computer......

I guess you have the 64 bit package but you need the 32-bit version (they are not replacing each other)

32 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555
64 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14632

(googled links, not 100% sure they work)

solved my issue right away, i wasnt installing the 32bit lol..... much appreciated.

Just thought I'd share a little info for people with AMD mobos, FX cpus, and nvidia gpus...

I had issues with my gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 system after I had it turned off for 2 days while the internet was down.  I have no idea why, but it was bluescreening or freezing constantly even though nothing changed.  I'm not sure exactly what the fix was, but all of these things helped massively. (In the end I think upgrading to win8.1 fixed it due to my win7 registry probably having an issue, but I found these in the long trial and error process)

-turn OFF the APM option under cpu features (unnecessary heat, clockspeeds, and power consumption. It was boosting my FX8320 to 3.65ghz even though I had it set to 2.5ghz in bios)
-make sure HPC(high performance computing) mode is off if your bios has it. Mine was off by default
-research how much your cpu can usually be undervolted.  The FX8320 was sitting at 1.4V and it seems like nearly all of them will run just fine at 1.2V.  I could probably go lower with mine since I have it downclocked quite a bit, but I was just happy to get it up and mining again so I left it.

*This may not have helped the stability, but I took the heatsinks off of the northbridge and southbridge and found they were sitting crookedly on the small dies. Northbridge even had some super hard thermal paste in one tiny spot that I thought was corrosion since I couldn't get it off at all until i went to town with an exacto knife. It still seemed to get really hot afterwards, but that usually means that it's transferring more heat to the heatsink.  Temps were roughly the same at idle, usually a couple degrees cooler.  I think at load it would be a lot better than it was....but none of that will matter that much if you change what I said above.  

Now with the good thermal paste and bios tweaks, everything is barely above room temperature and the stock fan never ramps up much.  It also dropped about 60-70 watts! I will try and get up to 100 watts of savings eventually, but now I've got the 6x750 non-ti models mining at 100% for only about 350w on JHA. Won't have time to try other algos soon, but maybe next week I'll compare that with my intel i3 rig to see which one can be the most efficient.

I run my fx 8320 at 0.86v  

[wacko]

I ran my fx 8320 at 0.86v 

At 2 GHz?

new test release of the m7 for windows: https://mega.co.nz/#!8RsDiJxY!61uRgJmlkr-Y_mwaE0HrCrzI-O85s71qhvW3f7kM3uQ


You should get +350khash/s on top of what you were getting with the 750ti
There shouldn't much difference for the other cards

EDIT: NEVERMIND... finally got it... 

Hi,

I'm getting constant error trying to download this at MEGA.
The other lowmem version is fine.

PS.: Congratz for the awesome job.

Quiet before the storm

Hint: 800 series

[tc61]

I don't think the 800 is going to yield the gains that everyone is thinking..in the power to performance area..but we will see

[RavenXBR]

I think the 800's will give us "density": less rigs with more hashpower

The GPU price and electricity costs increase will be proportional to the hashrate gain.

[yellowduck2]

I don't think the 800 is going to yield the gains that everyone is thinking..in the power to performance area..but we will see

I am looking more towards cost to hash ratio.

[see360]

I wonder, if I will buy one... I think I have 50w left on my psu...
However, I am still undecided because of its performance outside those specific new algos (I have the feeling, it wouldn't bring much more on top of what the 290x and the 780ti are already bringing...)

That's exactly my line of thought. I would buy 4 new Maxwell cards today IF they had an improvement on the hash rate of a 780ti. Their latest double Titan is slower than just buying two (overpriced) titans. If NVidia waits much longer the net hashrate of altcoins will make new offerings less attractive. I would buy big Maxwell cards today if they had 'em, but I might buy nothing if they wait two more months to release.

I might have paid $700+ each for 800 series cards back in March, assuming they match a 780Ti in performance, but I wouldn't even pay $300 on one now unless it doubles the 780Ti performance (I'm not holding my breath). I can't believe people are still dropping $400 for an AMD R9 290. I guess demand has returned to the domain of gamers and CG artists.
