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

[Amph]

so what about 970 mining? no review for that, only 980 overpriced gpu?

[Raistilin]

any plans for ccminer to add statistics like other miners out there or is there a version that has that already?


Average hashrate, current difficulty, etc would all be nice

I'm mining x11

Amph, I just found this Scrypt mining comparision between 970 and 980GTX...about 90KH/s in favour to 980GTX.

At least in Scrypt, nvidia still sucks behind AMD

Don´t know the others algos for this 970 comparision...

Cheers

ccMiner and nvMiner both have average hashrate statistic.  Using the "split screen" tool also gets you other statistics & info.

Just a thought...980GTX is out of question for mining purposes, 970GTX is more price x performance friendly...I will replace my four 750Ti and my 600W PSU with 4 x 970GTX and a 1200W PSU...will post the results when done.

again don't trust those review....

first I never been able to get to 900kh/s with my R9 290x (rather 700kh)
second my 780ti is doing around 750khash/s, so you should get more...

and if you are still running on scrypt with a gpu... then you are a moron (and there isn't even a point explaining to you as you would  probably not understand...)

I'd be happy to test on a 980 but so far, all I saw was pre-order with 2 to 3 weeks delay....

dont trust most reviewers. especially gpu ones, they get highly funded by either amd or nvidia so are close to always bias and use old results, which we have been 50% performance jumps in 1 release

I don't know how they  even manage to get a card... so early

I don't know how they do to even have a card... at the moment.

..And deffinately GTX980 cant consume 308W of maximum 180W by specification...

right I didn't even pay attention to that... 308w is kind of a lot for card rated 165W... (with 2x6pin... meaning you can't get those additional 150w out of nowhere...)

actually it isn't watt (it is written power  )... must be some arbitrary unit...

Indeed, but I think 308W may be the entire system consumption from the wall....

Some reviews are really cheated, unfortunetly.

Do you know how to be a nvidia tester? Subscription?

We have a respectable site here in Brazil and they receive the nvidia reference sample as well, check it out:

by tester ? you mean getting free cards ? well.... I wish I knew too... 
I guess you have to have a major blog with lots of hits or be some kind of journalist...

[bigjme]

Or own the main community website where reviews could be posted with configs, tutorials, and downloads?

I wish :p I have approached evga actually so we will see

yeah, i'm waiting for a review of one of you, otherwise i must wait until i'll do one myself, but i'm waiting for a decrease in price, i never buy hw pieces at launch

legit review indeed lmao

Yeh I won't buy yet either

[bathrobehero]

Hehe, exactly.

I actually like that nvidia is behind in scrypt because the majority of people getting into mining will start with scrypt and they will go with amd, so less competition for nvidia-friendly algos (if there's any left which is still profitable  ).

[Ignition75]

So I've got 2700 mh on my 750ti with 344.11 drivers. Is this optimal for the moment?

Yep, that's on the money, if you fancy a bit of OC'ing you can get the 750ti to 2.85 Mh/s on x11, but it takes a bit of fiddling to be right on the edge without crashing.

Hi all,

Is there any way that ccminer/nvminer can detect that it can run CUDA if the primary display GPU is not NV?  I.e. there are multiple NV cards installed, but I am POSTing and displaying off iGPU, and in which case nvminer is throwing an error about not being able to find CUDA devices. When POSTing off an NV GPU this issue does not occur. 

I am asking because I need this functionality for a special configuration where I must POST/display off iGPU.

Thanks!
