Anyone had a chance to test the new 337.50 drivers yet and see if there's any more performance out of em for mining? Guessing not since it's focused around DX, but one can always hope ^^

i wouldn't expect much improvement, if any.
unless they re-do some internal register performance i don't think we will improve much. and if they could im sure christian would have been on the phone already

I don`t know , but 6xti750 on my asrock pro btc , burn 590w minig scrypt N=9. It is not  that good. i don`t know these about these 38w , but may be they are not so 38w. 

what CPU are you running? are all power saving features enabled in the BIOS? Are you mining with the -H 2 option, and what is your CPU use while mining?

hmm i only just noticed his system is using 290W on things other then his GPU's
i dont think you could genuinely use that with 2 cpu's, ram etc.

I am using dualcore celeron G1820 , 8gb ram , hdd sata. Cpu usage is 20-25% . PSU is 700w cooleremaster. And yes i am minig with -H 2 .
when not runnig cudaminer the machine uses 80-100w.

So 6 cards are pulling almost 600w?

Something is wrong there

modded the VBIOS to 65 Watts maybe?  Normally TDP is locked to 35 Watts if I remember correctly.

[liomojo1]

Moded to 45w. But even 65w will not make that much. It is more like 75-80w

yes it is. i mean at the 60w bios he would have to be using a very cheap and low efficiency bios to be using 100W per card.
Although i have seen some 100W bio's kicking about on the net, though i still dont see why anyone goes up to the 65W bios

Moded to 45w.

ok that power usage is way way too high at 45W, i dont think power supplies even run at that low of an efficiency

[ManIkWeet]

Any other devices connected to the power outlet?
Monitor, keyboard, speakers, mouse, load of harddrives...
Maybe some very inefficient component?

[cryptomines]

Do you guys think theand iciency of 2x750ti is better than 1x280x...
 - in Scrypt?
 - in Scrypt-N?
 - in HVC?

With HVC my cards burn 4-5 watts per Mh. With my 5* 750ti (+160 oc) I get 58 Mh/s. I think per Mh amd will cost you twice as much, but don't quote me on that. I did a comparison on one of these pages....

usb mouse and keyboard. I will remove them to see but i doubt about it.

100W keyboard ? (should be good for working outside in winter)

ok following that there are a few options,
1) you have something else plugged in you have forgotten about (My 50" plasma only uses 110W)
2) you have an electrical short somewhere

with 6 cards your total power usage should be around the 420w area, thats 100w for system and 320w for cards
You are reporting an extra 170W ontop of that.

So either your risers have a power short and are draining a LOT of extra power,
or something else is plugged in. your reported usage is more then my entire system usage, and i'm running;

Full system
GTX 780
3 x 750Ti's

Could be the risers (they have 3 nice capacitors... what's the cos(phi) on that ?)

defective Watt meter maybe? it may be overreporting certain kinds of load. And the load posed by a switching power supply is certainly a challenging one to measure correctly.

Is ccminer copatible with Myriad Coin on Poolrino?

[testminer42]

Does Cudaminer have fail-over support at this point? I'm making the switch to 750 Ti's due to power savings, but would still like to rent out the rig if possible.

scrypt might work, but not myriad skein or myriad groestl.

But the latter 2 are definitely on our radar as we're working on a super efficient groestl implementation.

Failover still requires external tools at this point, CUDA Manager being the most well-known tool at the moment (but Windows only).
