noob question, does solo mining get you more hashes? thread 0: 1372913665 hashes, 484587 khash/s

Hey guys, just a quick question/request for assistance.

I own an Alienware with a 780m in it, as well as my desktop with a 750ti. Now before you tell me I shouldn't be mining on an Alienware, the cooling is just fine, so please don't lecture me.
My problem is that I've spent three days optimising/tweaking/overclocking both rigs for mining. The 780m is getting ~260 K/hashes, whilst the 750ti is doing ~320 K/Hashes. I don't understand how this is possible, when the 780m has just shy of 3 times the CUDA cores. Forgive me if this is a nooby question, I haven't been able to find answers anywhere.

I like to think I understand pretty well how the configs work, the letter signifies the kernel/compute version, first number is the number of SMX's, second is max warps per SMX, so i'm pretty sure the launch configs are pretty well optimised, if not as optimised as it can be.

My launch configs and clocks are as follows, any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

The 780m is set as: Core Clock: 888 Mhz, Memeory Clock: 2500Mhz (5000 Mhz effective)
cudaminer -H 2 -C 1 -d 0 -i 0 -l K8x24 -o pool -O Workernameandpass
pause

The 750 TI is set as: Core Clock: 1411 Mhz, Memory Clock: 3300Mhz (6600 Mhz effective)
cudaminer -i 0 -H 2 -l T5x24 -o pool -O workernameandpass
pause


Edit: i forgot to mention this is for scrypt mining.

just bumping because I haven't received any replies yet.

try to use the autotune just to know if you are far off.
However your config looks ok to me (however the x24 sometimes works sometimes not...)

anyone knows if I can install CUDA toolkit on system without nvidia card installed?

I guess it is possible, just don't try to instal the drivers with the toolkit
(I assume it is just for compiling... not to run anything)

looks like you're running a ccminer .exe that's not compatible with your hardware. Such hash rates are impossible.

ye its an old 580

Support for anything lower than 3.0 Compute Capability has been dropped for ccminer, so he can implement much more efficient algorithms.
You can look up the Compute Capability of your gpu here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

thank you

would that be possible to implement stratum support for DMD (groestlcoin with bugs ( ... could call this a feature... but since it is unintentional)  meaning groestlcoin stratum is not working).
Some updated sgminer by one of the DMD pool has been released: https://github.com/danbi/sph-sgminer.
apparently it also need the diff adjustment but I think it is already in ccminer

Yes you can. you cant debug tho.

Just find out that in Talkcoin chat, if you click the "B" for bold text by mistake, then it will cost you 10 TAC instead of 1. Normal chat just 1 TAC. Find it the hard way....LOL.  Stopped mining TAC after about 500 coins, it should cover the chatting for a while... 

What become to the TAC we give when chatting ? Everybody chatting lose TACs so who is the big winner who receive all the TACs ?

Chat TAC goes into a developement and bounty wallet

I think we might need also need X13 (a new coin is going to be release) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=601965.0

It appears crypto coins are adopting the razor blade strategy. I predict we will have a x22 algo in a month.

Since the arrival of Scrypt asics, we're all aware ASIC's can be made for everything (not like I wasn't before lol). The only real way ATM to resist pure ASICs is to change/add algorithms continuously.
CPU miners are easily rewritten. GPU miners need a bit more of a dev, but christian shows it off pretty well!
FPGA miners, like Christian said, only need to add another FPGA, rewrite the code for the new/extra algorithm et voila. This needs a lot more development time, but I guess that someone who has been coding FPGA's for years will pull this off pretty easily (and if he's smart, not re-sell it!). FPGA's will be few and not really worth it if you can't rewrite it yourself.
And ASICs require hardware development at its finest. It takes a month, maybe two to get a working prototype and even that isn't what you'd call stable and ready to re-sell. So ASICs for X??? will never exist for the general market if it goes on like this.

THIS also makes it more or less "multipool-resistant" BTW. If the markets are filled with coins, each having their own algorithm, this will make it hard for a multipool to switch according to profit.
I wonder if it would be able to add something onto stratum that lets the stratum tell the miner which algo to pick, so it can change in an instant, without you requiring to manually do it?

Thanks @djm34, @cryptomines

I got adventurous this morning and tried the Linux 337.19 beta driver. Still did not get manual OC options in nvidia-settings. I guess while the beta driver does support my GT640's, my GT640's don't support manual OC?

Could someone post their ccminer bat file contents for X11 on 750Ti?

TIA

Not a lot of adjustments in it - just:

Code:

ccminer50.exe -a x11 -o http://127.0.0.1:15818 -u user -p pass -d 2

Edit: (This is for Color Coin solo)

Getting around 2.5-2.6 Mhash on GTX 770 and on 750ti pretty much same as others here. Seeing my 770 beating top AMD's at x11 makes me extremely happy
As soon as I mine some of the "donation" coins, I'm sending some. Won't be a lot since i only have 2 GPU's atm, but it will be from the heart!

Thanks for awesome job guys, keep it up!

not sure what you call top amd, but my R9 290x is doing around 3MHash/s (400khash/s short from my 780ti), so there are still in the game (however waiting for the update)
