Personally i would say upgrade your cpu. If it cant handle 6 instances then i would definitely upgrade it

Nigeria, really?

Dear CUDA Miner user,

I am Mr. paul agabi, a Lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Charles (my surname) ,
a national of your country, who used to work with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in Nigeria, herein
after shall be referred to as my client.

On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their onlye child were involved in a car accident along
Lagos - Ibadan express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives.
This has proved unsuccessful. I came to know about you through an enquiry I was making in the internet,
and I found out you shared the same surname with my client, which is why I have decided to contact you,
in order to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank.

Particularly, in a local commercial bank here where the deceased had an account valued at about 15.5
Million Nigeria Coins, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisticated
within the next ten official working days.

Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at 15.5 Million Nigeria Coins can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money,
on the ratio of 50% for me, and 50% for you.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by email and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss
further about the details of this transaction.

Best regards, Mr. paul agabi.

The problem is that if i run 3 different for 3 different cards it is 30-40% cpu , but if i start 2 for the same two cards then the cpu goes near 100%. And it dual core cleron which is a good cpu.

Does anyone have a usable batch file for gtx 780 classy mining memory coin? Just can't get mine to work...

There are 500+ pages of good advice... unless you are more precise in what you intend to do, we can't help you...

Sorry, but can you tell me what information you need? I'm new to this..

[zelante]

Temporarily I created an app to auto-close any ccminer*.exe dialog window pop-ups, then the batchfile continues to auto-restarts the mining.

Last night it crashes twice for about 5hrs difference.

But too bad I can't do anything about the GPU idles (SICK?).

When a card goes idle or errors out for me usually just restarting the miner will not bring the card back up to full speed (usually just 10Khash/s or something like that).

You can reset the cards from the command line (using the DevCon [Developers Console] command available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272) by disabling and enabling them again without restarting windows and it seems to always fix the problem for me.

first run 'DevCon find *' to list out all your hardware, and then find a unique part of the card ID to add to the command.

In my case '*dev_1380' identifies all my MSI 750 ti cards at once.

Quick and easy to add to your .bat loop.

devcon disable *dev_1380
devcon enable *dev_1380

Hope that helps!

Sound interesting.
Does it work with windows 8 ?

Have not tried it... I am on Win7 x64 for my mining rig, but I don't see why it wouldn't unless it is some obscure change. It is just a download .exe though you throw in your windows32 folder and run, so not hard at all for anyone to try it out.

There so many things on my computer, so if I can know if it runs before downloading it, it is always better.
And actually, it does not work.

Work for me. win 8.1 x64

750Ti -> *dev_1380
660Ti -> *dev_1183

ex.: devcon disable *dev_1380 (disable ALL 750Ti on your board)

5 x eVGA 750Ti SC non overclocked = 61MH

but I'm unsure how to explicitly compile it for sm_35 and 128 regcount this time (due to the new Makefile.am). Everytime I get invalid calculations for the shares. But I think compiling with standard settings is a bit slower on groestlcoin atm. Any advice?

on compute 3.0 and above we're using a block size of 768 which cannot work with more than 80 regs per thread.
it's the reason the 750Ti jumped from 9 MHash to 11 MHash... just like that

ah, thanks for clarification. just two more questions:

1. under linux, after compiling all compute settings are within one executable? how can I make sure, that sm_35 is used?
2. is there a possibility to change regcount for a specific algo (in my case groestl) while having it untouched for all the others?

unser Linux it uses the compute setting matching your card best.

add a file specific rule to Makefile.am vor groestlcoin kernel. Nur IMHO you should try upping the groestl Thread block size to 768 first...

hmm..is that the value in cuda_groestlcoin.cu:

const int threadsperblock = 512;

? or do i need to change it somewhere else?

that what I thought too at first. But the launch went well with a dev. who seemed to know what he was doing and had some communication skills.

We will be looking into this ourselves. I don't really want to spoon feed code modifications to users here.
Feel free to modify yourself, but you HAVE to know CUDA and watch out for the shared memory initialization
at the start of the kernel code (don't run into this initialization code with more than 256 threads)

The next release will have the change, provided that it improves hash rates.

There are 500+ pages of good advice... unless you are more precise in what you intend to do, we can't help you...

Sorry, but can you tell me what information you need? I'm new to this..

at least what you want to mine, the configuration varies depending on what you run. (there is also a readme file which might help)

I use Z12x24 to mine at 1gh.com for memory coin. The gtx 780 was overclocked +135 MHz. I use algo=scrypt jane , no CPU parallel. This is all I can remember at the moment, I'll check later.

yes it works, I thought at first it was going to open a console...

what is the Nfactor ? (it should be displayed when you start cudaminer).
What you can do, it to run the autotune, it works rather well with scrypt-jane.
If the Nfactor is large, it could also helpful to increase large lookup gap value (-L)

Thank you!forgot to mention, the error cudaminer gave me was "json decode fail(1):"[" or "{" expected near "<"

Looks like AMD card got a boost for HVC.  Too bad the 290x power usage cant compare with the efficiency of a 750 Ti!

I didn't monitor so far the TDP of the amd (can't in MSI AB just realise I can do that with HWinfo), but with a card running at 60°C it shouldn't be high.
For some reason, everybody seems to think that the R9 290x is a very power hungry card, but it is rated 250W.
Clearly, past generation amd may have been huge electron suckers but that doesn't seem to be the case for this one

It's still one of the most power hungry cards there is

Pretty sure it can peak to 300W, and that's without overclock...
But yes, my GTX 780 has a 250W rating too...
I thought AMD has a different way to rate watts however...

[djm34]

I am running on script at the moment (solomining spartans) hwinfo says 188W+25W (no idea what the second number is...)
the 780ti is running at 95% tdp (temp limited... the temps are bad with skynet mod bios).
At the moment, on power consumption, the 290x wins...

But comparing to the 750ti is a bit unfair, in the sense that it is new generation against old generation.

[liomojo1]

where did you saw these power usage reading in hwinfo please?

[bigjme]

ok lets end the power war. Hashrates to power wise, the 290X is better then a 780 or 780Ti

When you compares a 12MH's 750Ti pulling only 25W
if you consider power only, you can run 10 750Ti's for the 250W that a 290X will pull, yes they do pull up to 300W without overclocking so 250W for heavycoin is about right

one way or another the 750Ti wins over the 290X for heavy coin, its proven, so arguing over it isn't needed anymore
