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

[jpouza]

I guys, sorry to bother you but i just started to mine some Litecoins and i'm unsure about my settings so i'm asking you.

I'm mining on the latest CUDAminer using CudaManager, i have a GTX 970 and use http://www.simplemulti.com/.
I'm mining Scrypt Litecoin (+MM) Diff: 8-32768, and i am able to mine at some 450kh/s avg (did'nt really tried to found a "high optimum" for now), but my problem is that i'm absolutly not sure if it's "good" regarding my GPU / settings ect...
I found very few to no informations on that new nvidia gen, even litecoin's chart don't list those GPU at this moment :/

If you guys could help me on that, or give me a better way / solution that'd be very helpful.

Tip for all GPU mining…don't mine Scrypt coins, or any other algo that has been raped by ASIC hardware.  GPU's simply can't compete against ASIC, and you're wasting electricity/money.  The best thing to mine with GPU's, is any of the newer algorithms, such as any X## coin (X11, X13, etc.), or M7, and others.  In your case, you're in luck because you got a 970 card and NVIDIA GPU's seem to currently have an advantage over AMD on the X## algorithms.  Although the 900-series is so new, that the creators of ccMiner don't yet have optimizations for this new generation of Maxwell architecture…but don't worry, your 970 will still run very well even with the current version of ccMiner.

Also, since you said you were using CUDAminer (which is currently extremely outdated, and only used for mining those older algorithms such as Scrypt), you had better go here to get ccMiner and start mining newer (more profitable) coins:  CUDAmining website

Yeah, kind of sad to see that i'm struggling to achieve some decent Kh/s when somes are sitting at 20mh/s T.T
Thank you for your help, i tried to mine some X11 with CCMiner already, i'm getting thoses results:

I know it's not optimized already but i don't think it's that bad so far right ?

too slow....970 is hiting 7000-7400KH/s already in ccminer, update your miner.

I updated to tpruvot's latest realase and i'm getting some 6000 - 6400 T.T

Here I get 8 to 9MH/s (Oced) with 980GTX.

So some noobie members are really lying about 970 hash rates in other threads LOL.

Cheers

Remember that i'm probably doing something wrong to get those rates, and my GPU is'nt Overclocked too, i might try this tonight just to see how far i get ^^

you are probably using _sp version... I am getting only ~7.2MH/s with a 980 with the standard ccminer
(and cudaminer isn't "extremely outdated" either... depends what you want to mine...)

[tbearhere]

Is there any fork/plan for neoscrypt I might have missed?

bathrobehero, I don't know. 

[antonio8]

The cgminer works good.

actually yes, from the numbers you sent me... writing a neoscrypt miner require first a better knowledge of scrypt algorithm (and I must admit, I don't understand a lot of what is done in nv2 kernel in cudaminer... haven't look a lot either...) and would rather go into cudaminer.

But it is funny that the 900's nvidia card beats the amd cards on their own turf (opencl)

And how fast is a 750 Ti? I couldn't get cgminer to work to check for myself.

cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -I 14 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ftc.theblocksfactory.com:3333

Leave all the other parameters out. -g -- worksize.

48 kh/s on 750ti

Thanks, that's not that bad. It leaves FTC as a nice go to coin.

[Epsylon3]

first step done for neoscrypt : just added it to cpuminer-multi project (with reduced changes)

https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi/commit/15f243e7236f545c192304ed9537d2e043ccc585

remains the big part : gpu code

Core i5-4570s (@ normal clock) (Haswell 4 cores without HT)
[2014-10-27 15:36:55] accepted: 70/70 (100.00%), 9.87 khash/s (yay!!!)

Core i3-3220 (@ normal clock) - cheapest Ivy bridge i3 (2 cores + HT)
[2014-10-27 16:15:05] accepted: 74/74 (100.00%), 6.36 khash/s (yay!!!)

I'm getting only 32 kh/s. Are you overclocking the card?

Cards are factory OC but I have not done anything else beyond that.

risers? 

having trouble getting consistent work from pools. hangs for several minutes. using cgwatcher to restart the miner.

My three 750ti's are on risers and my 970 is in mobo.

I am using Windows 7 64bit on Nvidia driver 344.11

I have had no issues at all on the Nvidia cards but I do have my rig with the AMD cards running on CGWatcher and restarting the miners every hour because they freeze up on that one. Again no issues at all on my rig with just the Nvidia cards.

Have you tried another pool? I am on Block Factory and running smooth.

EDIT: Let me change that " running smooth". Rig runs fine but it does slow it down a little. I can't watch videos as they are running slow motion. Besides that no issues.

5x750ti FTW on usb risers, Win 8.1 64, 344.48 here.

been awhile since I had a rig running, I have forgotten any performance advantages any OS/drivers had over others. Is there a difference between Win 7 or 8.1?

pointed at TBF now as it appears nut2pools seemed to be the worst offender of the two.

I set cgwatcher monitor to restart cgminer miner after 2 minutes if accepted doesn't change. seems to hang on the "waiting for work to be available from pools". restart gets the rig working again.

nice to see a native neo cuda miner soon...

[labestia]

so is XCN no longer the best coin to mine with Nvidia?  Been out of the loop and seeing tons of neoscrypt posts

[SRBOOTH]

cgminer neoscrypt375 from theblocksfactory link crashes in windows on 750ti am I missing a required file?
using pause at the end of command does not yield any info as to crash...any can help?

[go6ooo1212]

what exactly guys , do you mining at neoscrypt algo !?

[fredeq]

Use 3.7.7b.

FTC.

[SRBOOTH]

Use 3.7.7b.

FTC.

?? don't understand, are you replying to my question...btw my problem is only occurring on one of my comps with 750ti, makes me think t is missing something that it requires to run cgminer??? Using windows 7 btw.
