EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[tf2addict]

I'm only getting 602 H/s from a 8GB 1070 and 4GB 1060.  I was expecting more like 670ish.  WhatToMine says 700 but that's with an 8GB 1060.

The 1070 is doing 339 H/s and the 1060 261 H/s.

post you config here.
maybe you have set low intensity?

I am using Awesome Miner.  I used the Diagnostics feature to view the command line and intensity is set to 64.  This is the command line (user name omitted for privacy reasons):

miner.exe  -di 45 --intensity 64 64 --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --port 20570 --user xxxx --pass x --api 0.0.0.0:4028

I did reach 620 H/s for the 1070 and 1060 but that's still low I think and most of the time it's between 584 and 603.  I hope I can improve this as mining Zcash is pretty profitable at the moment.  I'm going to tweak Afterburner settings next but my current settings work very well for Ethereum mining so I would expect them to work well for Zcash as well.

EDIT:  I was underclocking the core clocks by 100 MHz or so and by changing that to zero it got me up to 656 H/s and by overclocking I'm getting even more.  I have to see what that does to my power load though.  Quite the difference from AMD cards where reducing the core clock doesn't affect hash rate.  

EDIT2:  I have hit 438 H/s on the 1070 by overclocking core by 114 Mhz.  That's better!  But I have to go look at the power meter to see if it's worth it.

I'm curious on the INFO (when it is running)
This vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ewm_3EFtp0  show's these guy's 1080ti's INFO settings at 19:58  (set it to half speed in google so you can see it)

Theirs says,...
INFO 02:50:07: GPU3 Accepted share 63ms [A:38, R:0]

Mine says,...
INFO 20:37:40: GPU3 Accepted share 219ms [259, R:0]

Is this just a time flag?

Thanks

2nd that. I thought is had something to do with round trip to the pool?

I'm using Linux and never messed up with overclock...

I just create a config shell script that runs at system startup and sets the maximum wattage for each GPU (here the energy costs are high) trying to set perfect stability and efficiency:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

# Get date/time
date=("$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")")
time=("$(date +"%T")")
                                                                                                                                              
# Create log file
printf "%s\n\n" "*** Configuration applied at $date and $time ***" > /home/MyUser/gpu.startup.log

nvidia-smi -i 3 -pm ENABLED >> /home/MyUser/gpu.startup.log                                                                               
nvidia-smi -i 3 -pl 90 >> /home/MyUser/gpu.startup.log

chown MyUser:MyUser /home/MyUser/gpu.startup.log

Everything else stays as default... The Sols/s isn't that incredible, but my efficiency is good!

 "INFO" timestamp gpu# "accepted share" pingtime "(" starestats ")"

 Seems pretty obvious.

How do you get that to display in EWBF?  I was able to get it displayed in the web browser though using localhost:4028.

I can't get either the 1060 or the 1070 above 2.9 efficiency stable no matter what settings I tweak.

--pec to display statistics

clock settings on those 1060s ? efficiency looks awesome

[jpl]

Thanks Leo,.. just new at this, and trying to figure my settings... I kind of guessed that is what it was.

Btw.. are you guys using Zcah4win,. bittrex.. or?.. Still not sure how to connect the money to any account to save money.   I've been through a ton of vids.
It should be as simple as .. mine to address, save amount, and send to bank.  (I think I'm missing something)

Thx  jpl

Can we expect a better performance in the future? or this is the end for optimization?

All the best and thank you for EWBF!

With the current algorithm, the speed is close to the maximum. Currently, i'm working on new features and bug fixes.

Thanks for the best ZEC Nvidia miner (seriously)! Can we expect better perfomance optimization for 9gbps cards with bad memory timings ("MSI 1060 gaming x plus" for example) in next updates?

It was the last version. There will be no more new versions of EWBF miner (((

[oup59]

I still mine SIGT and will do till PoS. Which of the Z coins do you mine? Zec, Zencash, Zcoin?

I am looking for the coin I will mine on my 1080Ti rig after SIG.

Hello

I would like to know if it is possible to view these rig, on a screen, like ethminer of claymore with ewbf?

can you adapt ethman for ewbf? or there is a control program with ewbf?

thank you

[matmator]

Im thinking i should buy a lottery ticket....



Almost 7 days without a crash....

EWBF never crashed on me. But Im impress with your Sol rate. What are those GTX-1070 and what are your settings ?

TYIA

what is this little app to control your rig?

this is not an app, its the built in api. You need to turn it on in your batch file ( --api 127.0.0.1:42000 ) and you get that screen using your browser eg: http://127.0.0.1:42000/

[matmator]

Ah thank you !!! I put this command in every bat of my rig, but I see that 1 rig on the web page, there is a command to set specific for each rig?

[Temporel]

replace 127.0.0.1 with the ip address of the rig you want to see, probably something like 192.168.1.x . If one of them is not behind your router (eg: outside your house), then you need the external IP address of your router and to port forward the port 42000 to the local address of that rig.

Google port forwarding with the model of your router to get more infos.

[matmator]

thanks, I did not understand everything with the external ip but it does not matter if it works locally is perfect, so I put the ip address of each rig.

it works .

but it's possible to have stats of 3 rig on one page?

excellent question. I too have a few rigs , maybe I should find a way to do it. Probably with a custom html page. I will report back if I find to time to do it. Im pretty sure its an easy thing to do.

[matmator]

ba yes, because if we have for example 20 rig, then open 20 pages. It would be great if you could add to the ip address a worker name. and then see all the different worker on a single web page.

Make an local html page and use iframe https://www.w3schools.com/TAGs/tag_iframe.asp
Sorry but have no time for this. But it is very easy.
