EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[sublimus]

@EWBF. you miner really good. using it long time. question: when you put option no fee? already paid many coins to you. just show some love to me and i give more love to you. you like that?

Yes, i will add option "fee" which will allow you set devFee manually for example --fee 0 is no fee --fee 1 is 1% etc. This option will be added in version 0.3.3b and released around march 20th.

Aren't you worried people will just set it to 0? Maybe just lower it to 1% or 1/2%, the increased adoption will probably even out in the end.

Like Claymore the nofee option will come with a decrease in performance. The best way people to have a no fee miner is
to code one yourself. Just try to and in the end you will be more than happy to pay a small fee. Well i am.

I have no problem paying EWBF a fee. He not only makes NVidia a viable and economic miner, he blows the competition up.

Is anyone using EWBF on linux and if so can you tell me how you are OC the cards?  I am using the nvidia-settings and I am setting core, mem and fan speed but I feel like I am missing something else.

nope, that's how you OC.

In MSI afterburner I have a PowerLimit and TempLimit, do those correlate to nvidia-settings.  I have searched and looked at many articles and cannot find anything.  Just wandering if setting the fan speed in linux is how temp limit is handled in MSI afterburner

TempLimit is the temp you allow the card to reach before shutting down.
You adjust the fan curve to maintain the temp below your TempLimit. Ideally 55c to 65c.

right now I have

nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:N]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=150'

nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:N]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=525'

nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:N]/GPUFanControlState=1"

nvidia-settings -a '[fan-N]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70'

Are there any other settings to control temp?

Enable Persistence Mode

Code:

sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1 

Power limit to 90w

Code:

sudo nvidia-smi -pl 90 

Code:

watch nvidia-smi

Thanks a billion, that was what I was missing.  With the persistence, does it stay set through a reboot, or do I need to add those 2 commands to my startup script?

you need root privilege open after.local file

Code:

sudo vi /etc/init.d/after.local

and add this lines

Code:

/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pl 90

while i agree with all of the supplied information about OC-ing nvidia-cards under linux i just found my system (GTX970 + GTX980) to be stuck in performance-level 2 (out of a range of 0 - 3) and ignoring GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset -commands.

running

Code:

nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes

confirms that memTransferRateeditable=0 and memclockeditable=0 for perf < 3 for my GTX980 and =0 in all perf-levels for my GTX970.

i'm not sure about the GTX970 but i am somewhat confident that i've set a custom GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset on the GTX980 in the past but cannot remember how.
can anybody hint me to what i might need to do to enable/set performance-level 3 on my cards?

many thanks in advance,

Thanks EWBF. Checking it out now.

For performance mode

Code:

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1 

Valid values for 'GPUPowerMizerMode' are: 0, 1 and 2.

If you have many cards replace [gpu:0] with [gpu:N]

v0.3.2b
Nice, +1% on my GTX 1070 farm ! (maybe even be more than that, but have to make average on about half a day to have some accurate numbers)

btw you should post at the end of the thread, when you release something new

Good work !

0.3.2b is out.
Thanks EWBF. Checking it out now.  

Thanks for the notice !

GTX 1080 FE, 0.3.2b

I've noticed that memory speed now has large impact on mining speed, with full oc(120% power/+220core/+1000mem) my 1080s hash at almost 600 sol/s, however going over +500 mhz(10ghz effective speed) sees little to no improvements. Current power optimized setting for me is 65% power, +220 core, +500 mhz mem, which yields about 500 sol/s.

I have no problem paying EWBF a fee. He not only makes NVidia a viable and economic miner, he blows the competition up.

This plus the alternative to supporting these 1-2% fee miners is for other people to just make private miners at atrocious down payment rates that only those with mega farms can ROI on

This here keeps an even playing field for all to mine

GTX1080Ti  684sol/s 0.3.1b

is it OC'ed?

[PovertyByte]

GTX1080Ti  684sol/s 0.3.1b

is it OC'ed?

I missed this. I also want to know if OC'd?

By calculating, the 1070 is still far greater in ROI

684 sols/s @ $500 has a much faster ROI than 450 sols/s @ $400. The GTX 1080ti will ROI 60 sooner if it really does 684 sol/s.

[Zimmsquad]

Where is the $500 coming from? 1080 ti is $699 minimum

Didn't Nvidia announce they GTX 1080ti would be $500? Or is it a new version of the normal gtx 1080?

Edit: ok you were right, they are coming out with a regular 1080 with boosted memory clock for $500. It will likely beat the 1070 though.

https://www.vg247.com/2017/03/01/nvidia-cuts-the-gtx-1080-price-to-500/

[Zimmsquad]

I wonder if the performance will be enough to justify $500?

What are current hash rates on 1080?
