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

[Notanon]

Pooler's cpuminer was recently updated with stratum support.

I will try to integrate the changes into cudaminer soon (for those who don't know, cudaminer is a fork of cpuminer)

Christian

Looking forward to it!

Hello,
I'm trying CUDA miner on Geforce GT520 (Fermi), Windows XP x64 and ForceWare 301.42

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\guiminer\cudaminer\cudaminer.exe" -D -o http://...:8332 -O ... -d 0 -i 1 -l auto -C 0 -m 1

Incorrect compute capability Is it possible to fix the problem?
The card works correctly under rpcminer-cuda for bitcoin mining.

What about trying it with no flags other than the pool connection ones?

I think the minimum requirement for a CUDA 5 application like cudaminer is a 302.something driver.

I hope there's one available for Windows XP Professional.

Thank you very much, I have 306.23 on another XPx64/GT520 computer, it is sufficient 

[Raulnsh]

314.22 is also perfect (20.5 KH/s at 1000/780) but the newest 320.18 is slower (17.5 KH/z)

[bart4282819]

I would very much like to know how to do this as well. Tried everything i could think of, in terms of cgminers protocols (attempting to apply them to cuda miner). It would be brilliant if there was a way to add backup pools in case one goes down.

Thank you all for any help you're willing to give!

is there a cuda miner driver for a generic asus 1gb. i can't seem to find a driver anywhere. its asus 1gb ddr. i can't tell if its nvidia or ati

[bart4282819]

is there a cuda miner driver for a generic asus 1gb. i can't seem to find a driver anywhere. its asus 1gb ddr. think it might be a radeon of some sort

First of all, cuda miner is for nvidia cards. Using any AMD card with cuda miner would be worthless. Secondly Find a scrypt miner that is used for AMD cards. You'll be getting a much better khash/s out of it.
If it's a radeon you've come to the opposite place you should be..
IF it is a AMD graphics card (radeon) then download the latest drivers from AMD for your card.
Next,

[Diamondstarfall]

I just want to thank you for your great app. It is by far the smoothest one for me to use for the few Nvidia GPUs I have. I can leave it running for week+ without problem.

thats why i changed my post. i can't tell if its an nvidia or ati. i've tried amd but i can't find the model and none of the drivers seem to work. in system information it says Nvidia under system manufacturer. in addition to the graphics card it has a "epox" graphics processor. don't know if thats why it says nvidia or not, but i can't find the graphics card anywhere online

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone can direct me to a readme as to how to set up cudaminer with multiple pools for failover.

I've read the thread and the readme, but not sure if this feature has been added yet.

Tyvm!

Sorry for the double post (mines 5 above [in post number/pages] the last post I made), but in my first post I'd forgotten to quote whom I was replying to.  

If anyone can point both of us in the right direction I would love that person! The direction I'm referring to is as follows all lines below below:

I would very much like to know how to setup my cuda miner so that I can have it pointed at two pools (not simultaneously). First the preferable pool, and the next just another pool in case the best pool goes out

Tried everything i could think of, in terms of cgminers protocols (attempting to apply them to cuda miner). It would be brilliant if there was a way to add backup pools in case one goes down.

As said above, helping us in this would make my day.

Thank you all for any help you're willing to give!

Try Unknown Device Identifier/Everest and see if that helps for id'ing your card.

ah, thanks man will do.

[cbuchner1]

People asking for pool failover support should direct this question upstream towards the pooler's cpuminer project. I am working on a cudaminer release that is essentially a clean fork of that project, so it can always pull in any relevant feature enhancements or additions from upstream.

for future reference, failover scripts for nix and win https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74941.msg830201#msg830201

Thanks for the link, this will be very useful for a script I'm making. Hopefully I'll be able to share it here soon.

Anyone had any luck with the GTX 260, I had an old one lying around which I chucked in a test machine but can't get more than 20kh out of it.

I get 44 kHash with Windows 7, cudaminer Version older than 2013-04-30 using

-i0 -l S27x3

It should work a bit faster on Windows XP or Linux

Christian

I'm getting 37 KH/s on my GTX 260 using this configuration.
