Any suggestions on a vertcoin pool for someone only doing 90Kh? I don't recognize any of the names on the vertcoin.com pool page but dedicatedpool, and that's a 2% fee. I picked a P2P node with low latency at random, I don't know that going P2P is going to be the right path for me.  

EDIT: I let cudaminer autotune, and it picked K4x32 for my 650ti boost, but I"m running about 2% rejection rate at 64*C and gettng occassional "result did not validate on CPU" errors.

okay just realised, I missed your point in my previous message.
You need to chose a p2pool close to where you leave for latency reason.
Other alternative is to install a private node on your computer and run on it.

edit: realised, I missed (again) your point... choose a pool which gets a lot of blocks.
But to be honest at 90kh, vertcoin won't be profitable at all.

Got y-day 2x 750ti to put with my gtx770 and the damn 770 is getting way too hot along-side those two (90C +) and I have nicely vented chassis.
It was hovering around 82C full load OC-ed before.

Anyone can recommend good store with USB risers that delivers to EU? Thanks.

some local dealer (or mining enthusiast) on ebay... That's where I find them... the delivery was pretty fast.
ordered one old model from amazon, it took a month to get delivered from china (things they don't tell you when you buy it...)

Okay guys, here is my setup for 1800 khs with 6xMSi 750Ti TF:

- ASRock H81 pro btc with 1.50 bios update
- PSU Corsair CS750M 750W
- DDR-III 8GB Corsair 9-9-9-24 1333Mhz
- SSD Sandisk 60GB
- 6x MSI 750Ti Twin Frozer with following settings:

all cards bios modded to 66.5W Powerlimit
All cards overclocked to +135/+520 except 1 card ( it lacks with just +135/+300 )
Each card plugged to mb with powered usb 3.0 risers 1m lenght.
Overall power consumption is 555-565W.
All the temps are less than 60.

my cudaminer setting: -i 0 -H 2 -l T10x24 -m 1 -b 4096

you have to use x86 cudaminer + google chrome with some flash animation for best results.

After a full day of test I'm really out of ideas    pheraps is better to look for a new motherboard ( maybe the gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 )

Get a better CPU (AMD is known to suck )
Or, indeed, the motherboard...

I give up.
I've updated mobo bios, changed the cpu with a quad-core and uninstalled also the wifi usb dongle ( as 69charger suggested )... no luck. Same shitty problem.

Tomorrow I'll probably change the mobo on the rig and switch to intel for the first time in 12 years

Is there any news on a cudaminer which works with Darkcoin?

sgminer won't work with nvidia.

Yeah, 1.2 vertcoin in 12 hours so far. Heck, I'd have to look it up, but it still may be more profitable than doge.

Hi,

Is there a tutorial on how to compile a 32bit version of cudaminer on a 64bit machine (running 64bit ubuntu 12.04). The usual "./configure -m32" whines about openssl.

You should check the "new vertcoin" execoin which may-be one day will reach the profitability of vertcoin (or not... lol ).
I mean it is easier to mine at the moment (but less profitable too...)

you need all dependencies as 32 bit versions as well. Install the corresponding :i386 packages

for a few packages the 64 bit developer packages and the 32 bit developer packages may collide,
so you have to pick one.

Any progress or updates on the riser issue?

[rahrahrah]

Whenever I close Cudaminer (2012-02-28), my system becomes extremely sluggish (Win 7 x64). I was going to say that it seems to be MSI Afterburner that is the culprit but that might not be true. Before running Cudaminer it doesn't take up much CPU resource but after quitting Cudaminer, it fluctuates between 10 and 99%. Beforehand it's no more than 4-6%.

Here is the CPU usage after a fresh boot. It settles very quickly and stays low:



And this is minutes after I've closed Cudaminer *and* MSI Afterburner. Lots of spiking to 99% but it doesn't appear visible in the process list from what I can see.



The CPU is a single core AMD 2.8GHz Sempron but they run perfectly well with cgminer/sgminer/vertminer and AMD cards.

Any ideas?

What's your launch config?

[rahrahrah]

What's your launch config?

--no-autotune -l T5x24 -m 1 -i 0

[bigjme]

What's your launch config?

--no-autotune -l T5x24 -m 1 -i 0

Pass -H 2 aswell

Cbuchner1 has confirmed this doesn't need passing now and is default (http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1ymph4/issues_optimizing_4x_gtx_750ti_cudaminer/cfnwzgt).

Welcome to the light side

Yes welcome! Intel is just soooooo much more capable. I've owned both and have not tried to fanboy either side, but there is a night and day difference between Intel and AMD.

Interesting you achieved this with risers. Have you ever tried to see what kind of hashrate you get without risers on those cards?

Whilst mining (4 card rig) responsiveness is terrible too actually (this still doesn't explain why it remains so after finishing mining). Between cudaminer, cudamanager and either MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X (tried both) it hogs the CPU - almost 100%.



Connecting to the sytem takes a long time (sometimes times out). Testing / tweaking settings becomes far slower. When it crashes, the only solution seems to be a system reboot (often taking a very long time as the system is unresponsive).

This doesn't happen with AMD cards/drivers/mining software and it's making the switch from those to these cards extremely difficult (I want to convert! really!). System usage on the same configuration but admittedly with 1 x 7990 (hashing far faster than 4 x 750 Ti):
