Decided to hit the Diamond mines. Big thanks to djm34, for the ccminer tweak / stratum instructions.

Do you have it compiled to share?

Here the exe for 750ti and 780ti (-algo groestl)
Not to be used with other algo as I didn't change the fermi/maxwell everywhere

would be nice to spread the hashrate (right now almost everybody is going to one pool... )

edit: (obviously it won't work anymore for groesltcoin stratum)

Can someone tell me if this bat file is ok for gtx 660ti. I am using ccminer 1.0

ccminer30.exe -a x11 -d 0 -o stratum+tcp://useast.blackcoinpool.com:3333 -u xxxx.first -p xxxx

Also when i try to start the miner it gives me an error about the program not being a valid win32 program. How can i fix that.

Thanks alot

That should work, though. Are you using the V1.0 from here? https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer


Also @chbuchner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596649.msg6555975#msg6555975 You can have it ready by then? NVM, it's a myriad clone I wasn't focussing
Maybe together with an official DMD

Does it matter which variation of the 750 ti you get?

1.  Have the dual fan versions outperformed the single fan versions?

2.  Is it worth it to get the most expensive 750 ti version that has higher clocks of 1294 in the gigabyte version?  These are $20 more ($179) than the standard OC versions on newegg.  Do they hash more or does it not matter because we can overclock all cards in the miner anyway.

3.  Any recommendations on cards with a 6pin power and cards without?  It would seem to be an advantage to have cards without since you would need less cables for running off a single PSU but what are people's thoughts?

I don't own a single 750 ti but I just ordered a single fan PNY, a dual fan Gigabyte superclock, and msi ti classic single fan version.

4.  Which leads me to my next question.  What have been the results from miners mixing and matching different branded 750 ti's in the same rig?  No Problems?  Can use same clocks for all without issues?

5.  Is there a best card/brand/type per dollar that has already been established?

Thanks for your input.

1. Can't answer all my cards are single fans. I have 5 Evga SC and 5 Msi OC

2. In my opinion, No. These cards all over clock good with a simple overclock tool. If you buy them locally the store might price match. I get mine at Fry's and they have priced matched everyone to NewEgg or MicroCenter.

3. All mine are non 6 pin. I have read the 6 pin version gets a tad bit more juice, but you are adding more wattage. So for me I perfer the Non 6 Pins.

4. I had mixed mine before I got 5 per card in the same rig. Just use the Overclock utility and you will be ok. I use Evga Precision. I use the fan controller to put each fan at 100% to test what cards are where. Then throttle it back down. In my instance for some reason Windows 7 does not detect them in order of 1-5 in the slots.

5. My favorite has been the Evga OC. Personally I am staying away from Asus for now on. I have 3 AMD cards from them and the fans are so much smaller that when they crank up on rpm's the noise is very, very audible. I can litterally put the MSI or EVGA next to my bed and you will barely here them. I don't have them in there but just to give you a comparison.

Last thing. One word of advice and it is VERY important.When installing them you do not need a super powerful PSU. BUT make sure you do not put more than 2 on one daisy chain from the power supply. I have read people who have had melted power connections. These daisy chains are not powered to run 3 or more cards on each. I have 5 on a 550 watt power supply with no issues. It has 3 seperate daisy chains and I have 2 on each and the 5th on one by itself connected to the hard drive. My biggest power supply I have is 860 watts but I only got that to be ready for the 880 when it comes out.

Thanks Antonio.

x11-darkcoin

after uninstalling toolkit 6.0 i suddenly have less issues  .
i also updated my drivers afterwards

i now get 3200 khash on 1254 mhz on my GTX 780 lightning,

GPU utilization stays away too:)
finally found the error on my end


EDIT: ccminer30.exe works better then 35 for my GTX 780 too.
and still random validate errors ,but not often.

i dunno if i can help but .
make sure you download the zip and not only the .eze
make sure you got the x86 folder with all the .dll files inside
because i did not see the x86 folder in the path of that error window.

yes that's strange my 780ti gives around 3.8~3.9MHash (2 instances) with compute 3.0
however the gpu usage stays below 85% (75% only one instance and only 3.6MHash)

some more tests: I was able to get 95% GPU usage by opening 4 instances with a speed around 1000khash/s per instance.
So globally 4MHash/s with the 780ti (1MHash/s than the 290x)

Awesome got it to work. thanks for the help guys. just needed to add x86 to the bat file.Thanks again

    Does anyone know what are the top 3 motherboards to use with this card.  5 or 6 pci-e slots?  I'm thinking asrock btc81pro but what others and mayby AMD ones also have 6 slots or a more powered MB like the btc pro?

I can't really vouch for anything other than what I have running, but the ASRock btc81 that I am running has not given me any problems at all.

I have chosen to use the powered USB risers and not risk running on just the slot power from the motherboard for 6 cards myself, and I have had no problems or worries at all since I fired it up nearly 2 months ago.

I have the 4 of the MSI 750ti OC models, and two of the MSI 750ti TF models, and if I had to do it all over again I would certainly buy the TF model over the OC model.

It handles higher OC settings and it runs a solid 15c cooler even on the same settings and coin. Completely worth the extra $20 to me. Much beefier head sinks and the dual fans are nice. I can run the TF cards completely OC'd and still keep the fans set to just 35% which keeps the whole rig very quiet.

Both models do not have the 6-pin power connector.

Hope that helps.

Hey guys, if any of you are using Linux and are interested, I've written a script to help with CudaMiner and cpuminer startup, monitoring, fan speed, etc. It can be found on GitHub here: https://gist.github.com/tchieze/3f2eb68f51a5e98ee1e7

Any comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks

It is working , thanks , but I am getting 3800khs and i was getting 6500 for groeslt. Is it normal for a ti 750 or not ?

[QuadraQ]

Brand new to ccminer, been using CUDAMiner for quite a while. Trying to use the following bat file:

ccminer30.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333 -u <UserID> -p <password>

I get the opening message of the executable but then it quits immediately. No errors.

I've never had any trouble with CUDAMiner.

Any suggestions? Since there's no error I'm not sure what's going on.

I have two GTX 670's in a Win7 64-bit system.

[liomojo1]

try
x86/ccminer30.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333 -u <UserID> -p <password>
 

[QuadraQ]

try
x86/ccminer30.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333 -u <UserID> -p <password>
 

I already have a cd command that sets the directory first before the call to ccminer30.exe. And like I said I do get the opening text from the program which I wouldn't get at all if I were in the wrong directory.
