EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[asbator]

I have a problem with the miner - each time one of cards hangs, ALL cards hangs as well and are unable to restart.
So i learnt to run each of cards in separate process.
The newest version doesn't allow that. When running second process Windows displays some error about blocking access to graphic card for miner.exe and eventually hangs.
You could work on either one problem or the other.

damn that miner is good. Getting stable 500+ Sol/s with EVGA ftw gtx 1070 and it does go up to 505... while I was getting 440 at most with nicehash. Thanks and keep up the good work!

@2114mhz
88-89%tdp / 160w
1.0620v

Wow how do you get such high hashrates? I can only get ~470 sols at max core voltage (1.093V) 2126MHz Core 4233MHz memory and power limit to 105%. You are getting around 30 sol/s more than me even though our speeds are almost the same... What commands do you enter when you run the miner?

Nothing added to the originals commands. I get less Sol/s @2156mhz and 112% power limit. My memory is @4303... I got a zotac at the same frequency and it's getting 493 maximum while I get 506 on the EVGA.

p.s are you using the 0.3.4b version?

[saul.goodman]

someone have an example of zcash .bat suprnova configuration ? really dont understand what to put where...

"EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner
miner.exe --server zec.suprnova.cc --user suprnova.1 --pass x --port 142  --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 "

when i change password or user it's dont work...

thanks!

1) Hopefully you don't have "'s spanning the two lines.  that might cause problems.

2) Did you create an account profile on zec.suprnova.cc ?  You have to have an account for each currency, so even if you created one for another currency, you have to go back in specifically for zec.

3) You don't have to specify cuda_devices (if you want to use all).

4) I think the help text has an error - I believe you want to use port 2142, not 142 (but I could be wrong)

Hey
You can use the same account for all pools on sprnova.
Also you don`t have to create worker on every coin... just one time.

What does this error mean? I get it with both of the latest versions of the miner, tested on suprnova with ZCL and nicehash with ZEC.

Probably an unstable overclock, what is your core and mem clock and what GPU failed? 1070?

It was a single GTX 1080 Ti in my personal system. Core at +250 Mem at stock, I had used EWBF miner before with this GPU with no errors, but I believe I may have had the Core lower at that point. It works great at +250 with multiple other miners, but it seems it must not like that in this one. I dialed it back down to +225 and it's been mining an hour now with no errors (used to happen within 5-10 minutes). ~700 sols at 80% tdp is pretty nice.

Which is the highest one ? 1 or 64 ?

Code:

Q: How intensity works?
A: The miner uses adaptive intensity and tries to use the maximum intensity value, with the help of the --intensity option you can set a limit on the maximum intensity, this will slightly reduce gpu usage and performance. Allowed values 1 - 64. You can set different values for each cards --intensity 64 64 64 64

If you have one dollar and I have 64 dollars, which one of us has more?

I just wanted to thank the developer for the upgrade. Getting around 5 Sol/s more on already overclocked cards. I appreciate the continuous improvement. Cheers!

Dang, kjs, how do you keep your cards so cold?

[JamesAdams]

p.s are you using the 0.3.4b version?

Yup I'm using the newest version, on my Palit Super Jetstream card I'm getting around 485 sol/s +- 10 sol/s at 2113MHz core and 4201 MHz memory 105% power and +100% voltage in Afterburner. Did you get lucky for your EVGA? Your Zotac seems to be getting the same hashrates as my card.

Also did you optimize your cards?

[NOLA]

It's official....have my first miner up and running.

Didn't install all 3 GPUs, made sure I didn't blow up the first one first.

Have one 1080ti FE going to Nicehash w EWBF 0.3.4b

I will learn how to put in pictures later, not sure if I even can right now.

Pushing 700 sol @ 293W at the Kill-A-Meter.  276 sol/W efficiency ( seems low compared to others). 

GPU @ 72C

Have settings set on Afterburner---70 TDP, 73C temp limit, +250 Core, -500 Memory, Fan 75%

Appreciate everyone's thoughts and ideas in general.

Time to buy 500 more 1080ti's.

Curious why you turned the memory down so much?

Good to see the improvement, but equihash is more memory dependent. With a hefty memory overclock (~+800 mhz) you will see significant speed improvements.

The bigger question is what mobo and O/S are you using to get 11 gpu's?

Looks like --intensity option don't work here. Tested on Palit  GTX 1060. Assigned to 64 32 64 64. but GPU1 going for full speed anyway.
