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

[djm34]

Hey Folks,

I have spent most of the day trying to get CCminer up and running with a GTX 750 TI. 

I'm running Windows 8.1 with ccminer 1.2 and the Geforce 340.53 drivers, but every time I start up the batch file I get:

"Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an Nvidia drive installed?"

I have tried wiping out all of the drivers and re-installing to no avail. I also tried running ccminer 1.0 and it generates the same issue.  It seems this topic gets mentioned every now and then on different forums, but that there is not fix for it.  At least, I haven't been able to find one in any of my searching. 

Any suggestions on other things to try?  Thanks for the help.

Try installing CUDA 6.5:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit

you don't need to install cuda, if you are just running ccminer and not compiling it.
But may-be there is a problem with new drivers and stuff compiled was compiled with cuda 5.5... however it is very unlikely,
 in principle it is backward compatible

I did try installing CUDA 6.5, but that didn't change anything.  Still gives the same error.

Do you think 5.5 would yield a different result?  Also, I keep seeing a lot of references to Visual Studio with the CUDA tool kit.  Is there a specific one I should have installed?  I tried 2010 and 2012, but no change with the error.

Go to the Nvidia control panel and make sure that your card is enabled at "CUDA - GPUs".
Or reset everything to default.

Oh, and don't use ccminer's -d option

I use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) when I want to totally uninstall drivers. This makes sure all drivers, registry keys, folders and whatnot are properly and permanently deleted. No trace. Then and only then I install new drivers. This will make sure you have a fresh install with no garbage left from previous installs. Google DDU you'll find it easy.

Also, DDU should be run under Windows safe mode. It will normally automatically reboot into safe mode if you run it in normal mode.

As previously stated, you have absolutely no business in installing CUDA if you are not compiling. Otherwise do so.

Totally unnecessary if not compiling.

DDU saved me.

Thank you for the suggestion about the Nvidia control panel!  When I opened it, the GPU was listed.  I selected ccminer and assigned the GPU to the program rather than "all" GPU's.  That was the trick.  CCminer saw it with the same batch file I have been trying for a while. 

Thanks for all of the suggestions, folks!

is the faster xcn cuda miner (Wolf or djm34?) source released (so that I can compile and run on Linux)?

No. Wolf0's miner is linux but private, djm's has so far released his miner as a win binary. W's version might be a bit faster but not much.

Not yet

[markoniko]

The new low_mem ccminer works perfect on Gigabyte gtx750 1gb nonTi, thanks dj34

Nice mem OC you have there, though you have somewhat high voltage for 1286Mhz. 
Is the card windforce(2 fan) edition or regular single?

Single fan version with 6pin power conentor, voltage is on default, only bios mod is power target on 70w.

it may be just an extreme oc involved with the wolf release, i doubt it's optimization only

Nope - OC doesn't seem to matter with my miner. I tried stock vs 1475/7000, and got pretty much the same hashrate.

your miner is working on linux, could be some boost due to that

Got XCN to 5.2MH/s - 5.3MH/s per 750Ti: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/xcnwolf750ti10.png

750Ti 1GB Does it work properly?

Do I need to pay any cost to use your program?

How much should I pay?

BTC? XCN?

No idea if it would work on a 1GB; already sold and waiting for a while before selling more/releasing.

Perhaps you would work with jk_14 to release your miner under KopiemTu distribution. Od perhaps compile it on KopiemTu.

May be that is why the price dive so deep. Back to monero.

Yes , but XCN burns 460w and monero only 320w for 6 Ti750

if u don't mine any , u burn 0w.

[liomojo1]

0 is so unexciting.

460w? i'm at 396 MAX with 6 x 750ti, oc is useless with those babies
