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

[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.

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

Good to know. Do you know of any Linux failover tools?

[Schleicher]

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

No improvements on my system.
275 kh/s for Litecoin
220 Mh/s for Bitcoin (not with cudaMiner  )
(without overclocking)
Didn't test other coins.

I know it's tiny, but what settings should I use for a GTX 260?
--algo=scrypt:2048 -i 0 -H 1 -C 0 -m 1 -b 4096 -L 1
Boosted me up to 4KH, from the default 0.22KH I was getting, so I know there is a lot of room for improvement.
Tinkering with overclocking and not seeing any improvements, also it's only using around 800 of 3092MB of GPU RAM.

So 6 cards are pulling almost 600w?

Something is wrong there

Yes his is high.  My 6 FTW cards come with an increased tdp of 35% and the system uses 545w max around 300khs each on scrypt. I'm powering only 2 low speed fans and a 2.5" sata drive as well. It's an i3 on a h81 btc board.

Beta 337.50 Driver

"*sigh* and not one mention in the article about the linux drivers that were released as well that also introduce overclocking controls for Fermi+ GPU's (and a few other enhancements)."

Drivers improvement are mostly for gaming (unless we see something 20% improvement on cudaminer in their ads), and the largest part of the gamer are on windows...

agree actually that could improve cudaminer perf (at least in linux)

[bigjme]

Linux tended to always get more performance then windows, atleast last i heard. So allowing for overclocks, i wouldnt be surprised if we didnt see 14MH/s on hvc

[jack80]

Christian Make Cudaminer up to 400 kh/s with Nvidia 750 ti on scrypt .

I wish it wasn't so ugly and X11 such a pain to tune...

[bigjme]

Your not the only one but if it gets the performance out, im sure we will deal with it.

or may-be starting over with fedora... ubuntu is clearly a no go for me the only reason I installed it was because 
was possible to instal it without having to instal a boot loader...

[bigjme]

I tend to install linux on a seperate ssd to my main so i can atleast switch back quickly so boot loaders are fine with me. Except when it random installs it to one of my storage drives on accident lmao

I had some bad experience with boot loaders...
On a laptop, I go through a first linux boot loader to select windows, then a second (windows one) to select my windows partitions (have 2 win partition on that laptop). I really want to avoid that on my main computer

[bigjme]

I had that for a while aswell. I ended up editing grub to go directly between the OS's and remove the stuff i didnt want

the Easter bunny said nope, and Santa Claus also didn't think he could manage.

Who care about scrypt? 

[ManiacMiner]

In new 337.50 beta driver core clock for 750Ti again locked to +135 MHz

So in other words, let's not update
