EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[Heguli97]

just got my ZOTAC 1080ti, extreme amp editions

friggin cosmetic damage on them too, they must be trying to knock out as many as they can so watch out for reselling value


anyway

what program do people use for NVIDIA power clocking? been doing it with AMD for years but kinda forgot about poor old nvidia


getting 750h/s out of the box per card, really really nice upgrade from my HD7990 rigs


any other programs that are useful when mining nvidia?

I use MSI Afterburner for core mem and voltage clocking. With the 1080ti you can use the Voltage/Frequency curve editor to achieve better stability, higher overclocks, lower voltages and lower power consumption.

Here are my settings for a MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X:

awesome thanks bro

thats odd

settings seem work on MSI AB, but after a while they seem to revert to normal

is there some override i need to do?

Not As far as i know, could your drivers be crashing after a little while?
It's also a bit wonky for me that you have to apply the oc curve after a few minutes of mining to keep the core mhz stable.
Also make sure you unlock voltage control from the afterburner settings and maybe try the "third party" option as well because your card isn't from MSI.

What perfomance i get on 1060 3gb and 6gb models? stock and overclocked?

I get 330-345 on a 6g oced (2088mhz core clock, 4498 memory clock)
And around 300 on the same card at stock speeds (its a msi gaming x, so it has some factory oc)

very nice, which Settings do you have?

Nothing particularly special, here are the settings:

Code:

nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
nvidia-smi -pl 300
nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=1
nvidia-settings -a GPUFanControlState=1
nvidia-settings -a GPUTargetFanSpeed=100
nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=100

you put those in the bat file or in the cfg file?

[QuintLeo]

1070 performance on 0.3.4b? Anyone?  

480 - 500 Sol on Zcash

In stock settings, right?

Thanks buddy!  

 That won't be on anything close to stock settings.
 Stock would be more like 400-420 ballpark depending on your specific card (some have a FACTORY overclock).

[xgtele]

kjs,  can you tell briefly about Nvidia drivers installation on your Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS? Are you using a server?

[kangjooe]

guys... what is the factor for mining speed in equihash? is it bigger core clock or memory clock? and is that true that 280X is perform the same to 1060?
and one more... is it better mining in win 7 or win 10?

thanks before

hi i`m new to ming and i have a  problem/question: why 1 card is not on the same performance as the other 3 always is a difference between,is there a bios setting or something like this that i`m missing ?

my mining rig :mobo z270 a prime (bios up to date , above 4g enable set, video on mobo ), 4 gtx 1080ti gaming x clock +150 +400 :

x16 x1 x1 x16  always is a difference of 16 20 sol/s not a big deal but i`m currios what`s happening , when i raise the power limit to 100% the boost clock only gets to 1890 mhz , the other 3 are at 1911mhz at 100% tdp , can this clock damage my card ?

I am running Ubuntu Linux, so it goes into a .bash file.

Same for me. I try to lower the power of other GPUs and speed of 'weak' gpu back to normal. I really don't understand. What drivers are you using?

Anyone experiencing an issue with the API? I've it turned on within the cfg and only receiving characters...those are looks fine, but...I want the fancy one

I updated the nvidia driver to ver 382.53 but i have problems with afterburner stability so i`m on 382.33 version , its not a big deal but it is strange how 1 lane performs less than other

[ayke99]

use http://127.0.0.1:42000 (or whatever you put after --api)

use like this --api 0.0.0.0:42000 or --api 192.168.1.*:42000
* cmd ipconfig see your local ip
check you windows firewall to allow

I have same problem, but on much larger scale. Got 6x GTX 1060 and Z270A PRO mbo, all cards on risers and last gpu connected on mbo gives only half power.

why would you raise to 100%  would you drive your card with the speedometer pinned to the max 24/7/365?

your 4 cards  are doing well at 208 watts  you get 753 sol/s and one is lower

no i`m happy with that ~745 at 80% , just noticing that at 100 % tdp that card can`t move the clock higher like the other ones

1070 performance on 0.3.4b? Anyone? 

I just received my first 1070 yesterday.
(an EVGA FTW, just running at stock speeds now)
Still new at this, have been using EWBF for about a week.

EWBF says  ~445 Sol/s, 150W.  The watts figure closely matches my Kill-A-Watt. The Sol/s seem reasonable.

Good luck!

[hallway_monitor]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me get started!

All stock! I haven't even started tinkering with OC Settings (not like I know where to begin anyways..)
