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

[bradaleyx]

Just moved over to HVC after the latest CCminer released.  Let the cards run for a few hours and im seeing only about 60% accepted across 3 machines on the
1ghz pool.  Is this normal for 1gh?  Is there a better pool to use?  Something on my end? (doubt this because 3 diff model cards across 3 comps but who knows)

i think all the cool kids are using zhpool

Which one is better? zhpool or 1GH?

zhpool is good , but you have to put the port that suits your hashrate :40001 is for 10mhs and more , so the difficulty is individual . If you chose the correct port everything is nice and easy. But the difficulty is so high that it is not that profitable anymore.

Which is more profitable?  Assuming 5000 satoshi for HVC, it certainly doing better than multi-pools as of lately

Thx...

I'm getting 12,7~12,8MHs with a single GTX750Ti at 1GH.
Will stick to that.

Ok guys im run at 13 mh/s for single 750ti on HVC ( thank you very much Christian ) .

I have 4 750ti ( work on 2 pc , 1 pc 2 750 ti msi - 2 pc 2 750 ti palit ) and im run total at 52 mh/s , but hvc.1gh.com read only 41 mh/s .

Im use 1 single session .bat and dont use -d .

ccminer35.exe -t 2 -a heavy -o stratum+tcp://hvcpool.1gh.com:5333 -u address wallet -p x -v 512

On win 7 64 bit , 4 gb ram . Use X86 folder with chrome browser open .

After a couple of weeks of happy vertcoin mining with 5x EVGA 750ti's, I can't get anywhere now.  When Cudaminer first started crashing, I found it worked fine when I removed the two cards on powered risers. So then I mined with three cards for a few days. But now it just crashes on startup... with one, two, or three cards in the 16x slots.  I've switched them around, no luck.  I've reinstalled drivers, no luck. Stopped overclocking, no luck.

Win7 64 bit, Sempron processor.  Any suggestions?

Mobo is new, no apparent damage.  Power supply is new, only drawing about 60% of its capacity when everything is hashing.  I don't think either of these are the problem.

Helps?

Does this only happen when you use cudaminer?
Try running a game or a benchmark.
Does the driver crash together with cudaminer?

Have you tried explicitly removing the driver and installing it fresh?
sometimes that can make a difference, especially with amd cards.

Crashed on GPU benchmark... clean reinstall of driver... crashed on GPU benchmark again.  Repeat.  Same result.  But now the rig won't power up at all.

Figured I had a bad motherboard.  Started disconnecting it from the power supply (brand new Seasonic Gold 600w). Found that the power cable for the GPUs on the risers was melted at the power supply.  Obviously not Cudaminers fault!

that's funny how often this happens... sata or molex ? and how many on the same cable ?
(photo welcomed)

Molex for the ones on risers.  Two 750ti's on the same cable. Won't make that mistake again.

There were also two pins fried on the motherboard-psu connection.  I don't know which came first, the chicken or the egg.  Guessing the motherboard problem was derived from the riser problem, since the GPUs on the risers went out a few days before the mobo finally died.  Running at full voltage but I did have the power dialled back to 97%.  Will be more conservative with replacements!

Are you sure the problem is not in the power supply ? (I mean if everything start burning around it...)

Well, now it's motherboard problem too, seeing that the socket is charred!

Have ordered a new mobo and PSU.  Once I get mining again, I'll see about what happened to the old stuff, maybe some of it can be saved.

But I'm thinking the two 750ti's tried to pull too much power over the single 4 pin molex cable.

Thanks for the advice guys.  Ill leave one rig on 1gh and see how the acceptance rate rolls and ill give zh a try on the other 2

[bigjme]

Do you mean you used a molex splitter to power 2 gpus from one plug? Or do you mean 2 from one psu slot?

For example when my 3 cards come, my psu only have 2 molex cables coming from the psu. So if it a 75w limit per cable from the psu or 75w per molex socket? (2 together would be 150w total)

HVC GO DOWN! :

[djm34]

actually it has been going down since this morning (except when you read HVC forum... but they are kind of delusional there... gpumining doesn't exist, hvc to the moon  they have an history of not seeing things clearly...)

Will keep mining... Awesome rate with 750's

Just a small heads-up, allthough I am guessing most of you know, but the Humble Bundle accepts bitcoin payments.

Just not right now...

Because Coinbase is giving them some trouble, and of course that's got to happen when I want to buy a bundle. Well, here's hoping that they get it back up soon.

Anyway, back on topic. So HVC is dropping, do you guys expect it to go up again some time soon, or will it continue to drop to a new low?

[djm34]

may-be....
More people mining a coin, means larger coin supply the price can only drop...

[blinkxzero]

The diff should be going up as well, so it will even out.

Honestly I expect it to normalize again in the next coming week. I'd just hold on to your coins instead of selling, but that's just personal opinion.

Yeah, I put a 6 pin connector into the modular PSU. It had two four pin molex sockets on the same ribbon.  Each 4 pin molex I connected to a powered riser with a 750ti on it.  In retrospect, obviously pulling 150 watts over the single 6 pin connector. Seems to have been a mistake.    Live and learn!  

[djm34]

I don't know if this could make a difference, but I use risers with a sata connector (must be the same as the molex... don't like molexes, they feel so cheap and badly build...)

[DemosMirak]

Sometimes I really hate the confirmation time. I don't think I'm going to get my HVC sold before it really crashes.

[bigjme]

So if i put a card on each individual molex strand from the psu (only using 1 of the molex)
And then used a sata to molex adapter for the 3rd card.
Should all be fine. I didnt think the power to sata was as much as molex but it must be as all my risers come with sata to molex adapters

[Maestro1]

I'm getting around 21~22 on a 780 Ti with the new ccminer, is that what is expected?

if you are selling low... don't complain the price decreases, it is entirely your fault (and other having the same strategy)
I mined exe 3 weeks ago, I don't even consider selling at the moment...

Yup I get the same.

A good reason to keep your HVC:
