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

[coinits]

Guys read the last 4-5 pages , we discussed the risers and psu issues. Read it well to be sure you don't cry later.

I am not going to use risers. I am doing a case build as the computer will/may be used for more than mining. Mining is priority one but if I get a project to do that requires and extra computer, I will have it.

You will have to use risers of some sort. No mobo i know of has 4 x16 slots

a new Scrypt-Jane coin launching tonight: NITcoin! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522329.0
for those wanting to mine METH (Keccak algo): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=500175.0

www.cryptolaunch.net will keep you updated on upcoming launches ;-)

Keep me posted on launches with new algos. This is where the C+C hash factory can play out their rapid CUDA programming card.

I did try run ccminer, but no yay

Code:

It's a nice board...I've ran 5 gpus with only 1 on a riser before (wish there were more 1 slot gpus...specially gtx 750 ti 2gb's)

Using dual 280x now though lol (mining xpm)

I havent checked either in person, but from the pics should be able to swing 4 cards with no risers

[ivanlabrie]

the z87x-oc is one of my go to boards

[kucingmeong]

Make sure the direct connection is running in 2.0 not 1.1

i can't configure manually pci-e bandwidth, no pci option in BIOS.
i used gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

any advice?
thanks

So... every card you try is slower, so that rules out the riser? Can you not switch risers? I will say I've never had a riser make a card seem slower, but I have had a riser make a card seem to not work.

i'm 100% sure its not because riser, but something else. 

[restless]

Could it be that on this motheboard, last pci-e connector resources are "shared"?

Oh you mean the €0.22 per kWh they charge in The Netherlands?
Of which €0.09 is the ACTUAL energy price?

exactly that
at the moment im paying £0.135 per KwH here in the uk, so about €0.16

I was kind of pissed that I am paying .096 cents per kwh here in Arizona.

0.096 USD = 0.070064 EUR

I don't feel so bad now that I see what you guys are paying.

that .096 USD even includes some BS power supply charges, the actual rate per KWH is .0652 USD (0.047585 EUR)

Mining HVC, my 4x 750ti rig should cost $18.82/month in power charges (13.735495 EUR).

of course having a huge nuclear plant just 130 miles north of here you would hope there is some advantage...

Keep in mind those cards only burn 30w unless you're using a custom firmware.

What's the word on cudaminer X11 support?

That's not entirely accurate. The 750Ti's burn more than 30w depending on the algorithm used.

[nomad1109]

It is more than just the cards that are spun up when the cards are mining, but with 4x 750 ti OC'd and with TDP raised to 65 the whole system is pulling 243W at the wall right now.

Very low overall on power usage compared to traditional ATI based rigs.

They're locked at the firmware level to not go passed 30 watts. Show me proof.

[bigjme]

My 3 750Ti's are on their own psu on a kill-a-watt and pull 155W mining hvc. Want a pic? Lol

Stock bios, nothing has been changed. My psu would have to be adding on an extra 65w for the 30w limit to be true. Which i doubt but my psu is a peice of sh*t

it's only considered an advantage until it pops its lid and the wind blows southward.

[cbuchner1]

What's the word on cudaminer X11 support?

we're halfway there (6 out of 11 algos are working) but we still need to improve our Groestl implementation.
Its speed is holding us back (and not just us, also the AMD guys - and we really need to establish a clear advantage here)

We're currently testing Quark/Anime but at the current coin prices this is far from profitable. I am working on becoming an ANI millionaire...

[cbuchner1]

here's a pretty interesting list of algorithms and the coins running these

[bigjme]

Black coins value is rocketing at the moment. Its nice to see a comparison of all the algos. I hadnt realised how many were in use

Ooo and did you decide what you were doing for the miner feedback christian? I wouldnt mind being able to build a web ui for ccminer. Will gladly provide it anyone for free.

Perhaps you would be able to use curl and give an output in json format? Even if it just gave basic information like the last hashrate, if the window has crashed or not. Wouldnt be too hard to make a page to shutdown the windows. Would even allow for some online mining launchers

I dont know how hard the curl stat servers are to implement but it would be great to see. You may have already built something and i have missed it
