1080 no speedup. 

My 1080 reports 535 SOL/sec

Overclock and what settings?

initial power testing (4 GTX 1070 rig)

SOL/WATTS/TDP
1801/825W @ MAX TDP
1774/690W @ 80%
1728/613W @ 70%
1713/590w @ 60%

80% seems like a sweet spot (~2% hash hit vs 16% less power) for the time being until profitability takes a nosedive

Nice boost. I'd love to see the sourcecode behind this

kinda fake ... or more then 2.2ghz on gpu?

It doesn't matter. I think it is impossible without hardcore hardware mode overclock.

Could you give a batch file example for the  SM calls  plz  thx windows 8.1

eqm -help

give you the help... (well duh :p)

-cm [mode]      Working mode (1 or 2, 0 = auto)

auto by default it should run into the proper mode depending of your card compute capabilities

-cd 0 1 2 doesn't work... that's how come I needed a bat file.

You were speaking about modes, -cd is the card selection but you know you don't need to put anything, by default the miner will select all your cards and make then run with the associated mode.

Have you run the help command like i told you to do ? i would think that would have been beneficial for you....

see it's not so hard isn't it ? also if you look in the EQM package there are already bat files....

the private stratum is down/flappy for me, anybody else? observed since about 4 hours ago

edit: seems to be working again now

[stiffxiii]

What driver can i use? Currently using 376.09? Worthwhile updating?

[datBTC]

Just like the previous miner version, there seems to be something finicky about the SOL/sec rate on the GTX 1080. When I first updated the EQM miner i bench marked 535 SOL/s on my overclocked 1080. I mined at that speed all day, but when I restarted my PC the 1080 only mines at ~ 455-460. The weird part if that nothing changed as far as OC settings are concerned.

With the last miner version, sometimes the 1080 would mine at 505 SOL/sec , but then other times it was ~430. I really dont understand what could be happening to cause such a huge difference, but this tells me that there is a huge untapped potential left in the GTX 1080 that has yet to be fully utilized.

[NiceHashSupport]

We were able to reach 490 on overclocked GTX 1080. We also noticed that temperature has some effect on all pascal cards - the higher it is, the lower it would clock and thus slower it would mine. But the hashing rate was always consistent, never more or less, as long as all clocks were fine. Also, if there is a driver crash due to too intensive clock, it may put your card into locked low clock and reboot is needed. That is all I can help you with. You may observe GPU load, TDP, memory load and see how these numbers compare to your first run of 500+.

[NiceHashSupport]

There will be another update with 1-2% speed increase. Then we will work on to prepare public source release. We will put solver cuda_djezo into existing nheqminer: https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer and bump the version up to 0.5. We made this decision, because nheqminer is widely popular (200 times forked) and will serve good as a base for this new solver (with possibility of other solvers being added in near future - something faster for AMD perhaps?).

Thanks for your work.

Latest EQM seems to have stability issues, what about you all others fellow miners ? Im not able to keep it from crashing with same level even 5% lower OC than previous EQM version. Keep randomly crashing every 3-4h, happily i got my nice monitoring scripts to pick-up so mining downtime isn't that much but still annoying

by the way nicehash guys, how do you use the monitoring/api port you can start with -a xxxx is that feature working ? i don't see any datas or port even being opened.

for me it works as in nheqminer: you query "status\n" on a raw socket on the port and get a json result back (though the last version i tested it with was a while back, but if nothing broke it it should still work)

[NiceHashSupport]

Yes, this is used in NHM right now.

Regarding crashes. We will not deny that it cannot happen. We used some unsafe shared memory to gain extra speed. The crash possibility is very low. That is why there are auto-restart scripts included. If crash happens, it will not break your driver, so restart fixes it and you keep on mining.
