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

I'm getting in on this page 500 business.

Great, so we are on the same page.

welcome to page 500.

I'm using the rig with 6 cards MSI Gtx 750Ti,please help to share the configurations for mining ultracoin (UTC),thanks

[bromstar]

Awesome update for the 750 tis:) Thanks!

CONGRATS ON 500!!!

Just a heads up, I had to drop my overclock a little bit after switching to two ccminer windows (2 seperate bat files for 2 cards each)  I woke up and they both crashed in the middle of the night.

Dropped the OC a bit and so far so good.

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)

Running 2 750ti's on ccm35 and 1 GTX670 on ccm30.

My systems stalls/hangs a lot. Is this normal? I am using Windows 7 64bit.

I am also cpu mining a different coin.

See you cpu usage , you need some cpu to use many instancaces of cuda miner or ccminer.

Forgot to check that.

Well my 750ti's went from 10,500 and 11,100 to 13,200 and 12,797 just from me stop using the cpu from mining. But it will not last long since I am going to cpu mine again, just with less threads.

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!

Edit:  Two fried pins on the motherboard main power cable too.  They were hidden behind two capacitors. Ouch.

After the first 25 yays or so, you will get a lot of boos, rapidly, because the difficulty is extremely low, due to VARDIFF screwing up. After about 10-20 seconds, the issue resolves itself, and you get shares of an appropriate difficulty. Those few hours you let them run are not enough to let the percentage catch up again. I predict that if you let them run for a while longer, provided nothing crashes, that you will eventually get a much higher accepted percentage. So don't worry, you lose about 10-20 seconds of mining, so, for me at least, 2 shares or so.

i think all the cool kids are using zhpool

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

Which one is better? zhpool or 1GH?

[djm34]

I prefer 1GH, I tried their xdiff stuff, getting at 28MH a share in a while, not really my cup of tea

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!

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.

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