https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/commit/72f35da0e3c86ff6564686502b0607c9df9211ca

Took the easy gains first, around 18% boost on 750 Ti. Still trying to wrap my head around the hard part.

Will upload a win32 binary later, got something to do right now.

Nice Work Tsiv!

I'm looking at all the different 750 Ti cards, not sure which one to order.

I'm debating between the ASUS http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121855&cm_re=750_ti-_-14-121-855-_-Product

or maybe even the Gigabyte one http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125502&cm_re=750_ti-_-14-125-502-_-Product

At the end of the day, does it even really matter?

My Gigabyte have been rock solids so far. (5x) The only things I would consider a 750ti without 6-pins connector. With five GPU I don't have any more 6-pins or molex connector I can safely use.

Both good, but I only have experience with Gigabyte cards which have been rock solid and very quiet for the power.

Also look at the Superclocked EVGA cards. Boost Clock: 1255 MHz for a little extra kick.

The Asus was 1150MHz and Gigabyte was 1085MHz

I was thinking of getting something without the 6 pins, but my X58 mobo doesn't really have any supplementary power for the PCI-X slots, would this matter at all? If running 3/4 cards?

I've got 3x EVGA 750Ti's on my X58 (no risers) with the TDP unlocked, +12mv, +151 GPU clock and the board is rock solid. I'm not doing scrypt/nscrypt though and haven't tested long term with it, short term it works and there is no burning smell

Even though I only have the 1 fan version of the ASUS 750 Ti's, here's a bit of a comparison of what I learned about the different brands so far:

	JPC hashrate	temps		notes
Gigabyte	~5.5 MH/s	~56C		2 fans, 6-pin power connector
ASUS	~5.2 MH/s	~66C		1 fan version
MSI	~5.3 MH/s	~59C		1 fan, has no fan RPM sensor (reports 4294967295RPM in ccminer - max integer) though it does have fan control

The numbers are just what I've read a few minutes into solomining to avoid pool delay/vardiff.

Haven't dwelved into overclocking much, but be careful going way beyond the factory TDP limit though, as apparently this might happen (user comment from cryptomining-blog):

I had 6 flashed hashing @ 300kh for a month or two. Had two burn themselves out day before and then another the next day. Temps were fine and I can see some discoloring on the back and one component looks blown-out? Mine were Gigbyte and I used the posted BIOS on this site.

Unfortunately the EVGA's are a bit too pricey here.

Compute 2.0/3.0/3.5 win32 binary: https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases/tag/v0.13

No need to update if you're running the previous release, this update simply pulls out the other ccminer algos and adds compute 2.0 support.

[Boffinboy]

Has anyone written a program for managing ccMiner, or is currently writing one? I've put together a shell script to handle ccMiner, and could share if there's demand for it?

Current features:

Failover support.
High GPU temperature temporary mining shutdown.
Miner restart on driver crash.
Monitoring of GPU's
Mining logs.
Error logs.
Email alerts.

Would be happy make this available, but not sure if anyone is working on something more advanced?

I believe there is some ongoing work, but nothing that has been published. A script like this could be really helpful for a lot of us!

fuck it, time to sell my amd rigs.

but it isn't profitable right? 2-3 monero a day?

This would be a godsend for people like me. I have been looking for something to help manage my nvidia farm for a while now. Failover support has been a want of mine. 4x rigs 7GPU's each here.

You can manage your nvidia miners using miningrigrentals.com for free and they support 5 failover pools. Works great! If you decide to sign up please use my referal link: http://www.miningrigrentals.com?ref=28

Mining using crytonight miner is very unstable. The hashrate shown on miner and pool is very different. Most of the time pool hashrate could be reduce by 50% of what is shown on miner. I think crytonight miner submitting of shares to pool need improvement because pool don't receive share often which cause miner hashrate shown on pool to cut down majority of the time. The only time pool showing correct hashrate as miner is when initial connection to pool. After which hashrate start to decay and reduce. Hashrate shown on miner is just a guide line, most importance is how much hash the pool receive because that is how much they going to pay you. So what u see on profit cal need to be reduce by 30-40% due to unstable hashrate.

[QuadraQ]

Does the new cryptonight release of ccminer support anything other than the 750 Ti? I tried to get it running on my laptop with a GeForce GT 750M (don't laugh) which is compute 3.0 compatible, but I got a message in windows that the driver had crashed and recovered and ccminer reported outrageously high hashrates while never submitting anything successfully to the pool and my GPU meter showing basically zero activity. Do I need to do more than put the "-a cryptonight" flag in the batch file?

not bad. The private mining code we have is only marginally faster now

GPU hashrate: 1561.1578

that's for 3 780 Ti cards.

Congratulations to tsiv for his work so far! I noticed several of his changes closely match what we have done to optimize.

tsiv and djm i may have to change cudamining.cc
I am considering on the releases page to have a few sections, one for christians releases, and a page each for you 2 with logins to the site so you can add releases yourselves. Up for it?

+1
Also consider the same agreement with bombadil
