Ok, how do I set my gtx 680

cudaminer to change pools if 1 cant connect for a certain amount of time?

Would like to do multiple pools.



I got this so far, but i want to add more pools

cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u Miner.user -p password
cudaminer.exe -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1

HElp will be appreciated and maybe i can donate??  

Use cudamanager to run cudaminer.

Ok, got my parts in and my initial 2 GIGABYTE GV-N75TOC-2GI GTX 750 Ti's in, and have everything up and running. So far I am only managing to get ~280 kHash out of each one. Running Windows 7 64 with latest Nvidia drivers and latest cudaminer.

My launch config is -m0 -l T5x24 -I 0 -C 1 -H 1

Tried different values for m, C and H and no difference. I am also running a slight +50 core and +300 memory overclock. I was hoping to see the 320 kHash everyone else seems to be getting but running out of ideas. Any insight or ideas of things to try would be appreciated.

Just popped in the same card as you to test,

+100 GPU
+700 Memory Clock

-m 0 -H 1 -i 0 -l T5x24

297 khash/s and holding

Hey guys,
  Am new here, and new to mining with Nvidia cards.  I've been following this thread for the past week, finally got my hands on a few of the 750Ti cards last night.  Picked up 3 different brands, but have only had a chance to tinker with the MSI twin frozr (no pcie plug) so far.  I am definitely no expert, and am learning cudaminer as I go, but wanted to share my experience so far:

  I've only run one card at a time so far.  Biostar H81S2 mobo, 4gb ram 750w psu.   and mostly using auto-tune, as I dont understand the blocks and warps yet..
System idle = 42.2W (per killawatt meter)
gpu = +0, mem= +0, load @99% = 114W.  hashrate 268 kh/s T5x19
gpu = +0, mem +300, hashrate 252kh/s (T230x1.  this may have been a bad setting by auto-tune, i'm not sure.  i initally was trying gpu and mem clocks others were reporting, and was getting alot of instant artifacting, or 'rapid scrolling' error. so i left it at that, and moved on to doing the TDP raising bios mod.

  With TDP bios mod:

gpu = +0, mem= +0, hashrate 272khs, T10x24, gpu utilization 75% (?), and system load increased to 124W (from 114W)
gpu = +0, mem= +300, hashrate 291khs, T10x24, system load = 130Watts.

  This last setting was stable for 6+ hrs while I was at work today.  I have tried, briefly, with higher gpu and mem clocks, and highest i've hit was ~322khs. but i need to keep testing for stability, as i was getting errors along the way.  Interestingly, the bios mod has definitely increased power draw, and has allowed near 300khs with a modest +300 mem overclock.  I have seen others on this thread with much higher clocks at this speed.  Christian, are you using a modified bios on your 750 Ti?  I feel there is more there.  Also, after the bios mod, the power % on Precision X drops to 75%.  I dont understand this, or if it may be reporting it incorrectly.
   I'll continue seeing how far i can push this card.  I am concerned about the scalability issues others are having, and will assess this as well, when i have time to add other cards (hopefully tonight).  Will keep you guys posted on my findings.

A Bit More on the Actual Power Usage of GeForce GTX 750 Ti
http://cryptomining-blog.com/1141-a-bit-more-on-the-actual-power-usage-of-geforce-gtx-750-ti/

holy moly! Surprising results...

I'm sure the author of this article's findings are much more accurate than what I can do with a Kill-a-watt on the whole system, but here are my results.

No graphics card in computer: 153w idle
1x 750 Ti in 16x slot, no BIOS power mod, stock:
165w idle
230w scrypt load, ~250kh/s
223w yacoin load, ~3kh/s

1x 750 Ti in 16x slot, no BIOS power mod, +135core +600mem:
166w idle
230w scrypt, ~290-310kh/s
223w yacoin, ~3.35kh/s

1x 750 Ti in 16x slot, BIOS power mod to 65.5w, +135core +600mem:
166w idle
255w scrypt, ~290-310kh/s
225-230w yacoin, ~3.35kh/s

What this leads me to believe is that we should NOT be doing the BIOS power mod. It yields no benefit in hashrates, just increased power consumption. I couldn't get my card stable at higher than +600mem overclocking with or without the BIOS power mod.

Hi madman,

I believe your findings are in line with mine. I would say try the non-BIOS mod +300 mem overclock again with the same T10x24. My results yielded no additional hashrate with the power mod, but increased power consumption.

Precision X is reporting % power correctly. It is just that the bois mod changed what is considered 100% power.

On a side note, other then helix coin, what coins do you guys recommend mining? Im getting tired of mining scrypt coins with my GTX 780 and would like to try mining a coin with a different algorithm.

[69charger]

Vertcoin and Panda are both profitable coins.

Hi madman,

I believe your findings are in line with mine. I would say try the non-BIOS mod +300 mem overclock again with the same T10x24. My results yielded no additional hashrate with the power mod, but increased power consumption.

Re-ran it on stock bios, +300 mem, T10x24, and at 268-269khs, unchanged from stock clock settings.  Another note, this was on the pci-e 16x slot, no riser.  I just tried the card on 2 different powered riser cables (ribbon and usb), and seeing reduced hash rate ~255khs, and reduced system wattage on the killawatt meter to around 114W, even with the above mem +300 overclock.  

[69charger]

T5x24 is pretty much the optimal setting for the 750ti.

Helix at the moment but I remember the maxcoin pools doing the same thing.
It's actually slightly higher than half but it's consistently about 40% lower than it should...
I'm currently using your latest build with the T2880x24 command on a 780ti.

we could try tinkering a bit with the difficulty target in the cudaminer code (artificially lowering it).
If the pools still accept these shares, you would see a higher hash rate and higher payouts

Christian

I saw the same think and was wondering why? The strangest thing is that i stoped my miner on the pool.helixcoinproject.com , now for 2 hours and it still shows on the dashboard and worker that i am active and minig with 460000 khs. i think that the pools just cant get it fast and it needs sometime to digest the info. may be they have a max limit for khs of worker , some kind of protection, but they accept shares. i dont know but it is strange.
The web chat on one of the pools, they said they show only accepted shares hashrate. It is strange man. May be they just use our hashing power for them.

Yup, just tested two different cards individually on risers to a 4x PCI-E. I lose about 6.5% performance for whichever card is on the riser. I also tested and saw that using power to the risers is pointless and is actually a waste of electricity. The cards don't need additional power and unpowered risers will do just fine. Plugging the riser's molex in actually increases power consumption by 10-15w for no hashing gains.

Yup, just tested two different cards individually on risers to a 4x PCI-E. I lose about 6.5% performance for whichever card is on the riser. I also tested and saw that using power to the risers is pointless and is actually a waste of electricity. The cards don't need additional power and unpowered risers will do just fine. Plugging the riser's molex in actually increases power consumption by 10-15w for no hashing gains.

got all six going, all at stock settings.  they scaled pretty much perfectly, WHEN compared to a single card that is also on a riser cable.  I am convinced the reduced performance is due to the riser, given the card is completely dependent on it for power (no pci-e).  i wonder what the maximum wattage these risers are rated at.    will test some more tomorrow.. i have the gigabyte cards with the pci-e plugs too.  maybe after replicating this  with those cards, can determine if the risers are the culprit.  heres a pic of the testing setup right now, and a screenshot of em running..

Would like to do multiple pools.

I got this so far, but i want to add more pools

cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u Miner.user -p password
cudaminer.exe -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1

HElp will be appreciated and maybe i can donate??  

CUDA Manager is an easy solution.

This is pretty mean from the pool.helixcoinproject.com , already 3 hours since i stoped my miner and it still showing me minig. It should be good , but the difficulty is much higher now .

Morning all

absolutely new to mining, especially with Nvidia and cudaminer. Following the thread here and using almost all suggested settings I am a little bit confused. Got 2 750ti yesterday and tried to get them running on Win7 32bit and Helix. The advised best setting T5x24 didn't even give me a single jay, so I played around a bit. Anyway, I ended up on T800x24 with 122000 khash/s.  This does only work for about 50 accepts in a row (approx. 1 every 2 seconds), after that accept rate decreases dramatically down to 1 per minute.
Restarting the miner keeps accepts running with highspeed again. Afterburner tells me GPU usage of 74% at 50°C, but I fear that I am overloading the GPU and it shuts down slowly. Any ideas?

Anyone tried a GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti yet with cudaminer? What's the kHash/sec on it?

Interesting numbers.  I don't have a 700 series but I'm getting 92-95kh/s on a GTX 650 Ti Boost.  I'm surprised the speed is that much slower than a 660 Ti.

The reason I am asking is that I believe the 780 could do nearly double of what a 660Ti does. 350-400kHash/s I believe. It has twice the memory bus width (and hence bandwidth) and it has 2304 shaders compared to the 1344 shaders in the 660 Ti. I woud just like to have a confirmation of its hashing power before I shell out 400 Euros for one .  Also it has Compute 3.5 capability, and I think this would allow for some extra code optimization in the future.

This is what's in my development box currently

580Ti                       (150 kHash) - Compute 2.1
660Ti                       (200 kHash) - Compute 3.0
580Ti 448 core edition (220 kHash) - Compute 2.0
GT 640 (GF 208 based) (55 kHash) - Compute 3.5

That's a pretty good variety of compute capabilites, so I can optimize for different generations of hardware.
When everything crunches simultaneously, the machine pulls 800 Watts from the power socket.

I have two evga acx 780's

GPU 0  625 kh/s   both gpu's +260 engine
GPU 1  580 kh/s

You might just be seeing vardiff from the stratum upping the difficulty because you're sending many shares.
Which is perfectly fine.
