EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[njappboy]

Hi
Anyone tested it with a 1080Ti ?
it looks quite unstable, hashrate jumps up and down all the time, it is hard to find the best efficiency values

thanks
indkt

I have 2 running on a rig now. They are using EWBF with https://zhash.pro
zhash.pro shows the rate jumping around but I don't see that on my side.

Sol/s ranges from 710-722 Sol/s for each gpu @ about 74C each @ 262-266W each

for me with Gtx 1070 armor i get 470~sols

what is your OC settings?

Has the dev quit?

There was no update in a long time. Maybe now with a new challenger there will he a new version of EWBF.

Whew!!! Am a Newbie, how can I take advantage of this Info? Where do I start from?

dstm's ZCash miner faster by 8 % !!!!  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021765.500

Can confirm. 8 rigs have been running 3 days now, only one crash and on very low OC settings it's about 6% faster.

I tried it and got about 1% faster, I'll try it on my larger rig and see how it does.

I was sent to this page from BTGMINE's site.  I'm interested in mining Bitcoin Gold as soon as it's available to do so, but not sure what software or configuration(s) to use.  My best nVidia card is an older GTX 470.  Assuming benchmarks are any indication of overall performance, that card is better than my son's more recent nVidia video card, that came as part of a "Gaming Rig" (CyberPowerPC or something).  Can it be mined yet or no?  I got my BTG over at BTCPOP, so I know at least they support it.

dstm's ZCash miner same but faster EWBF about 5%

Just started mining today on flypool with 4x 1070 MSI Gaming at around 1853 sols.  So far it seems to be working great!

My rate is close to the same as yours with 4 1070's.  2 Asus and 2 evga... just a little overclocking so it doesn't crash.
Also, looking at the dtsm to see what it is.

I've got relatively pricey electricity. Curious what people have found as the sweet spot between sols and power consumption.

For example, I'm hitting about 400sols for a gtx 1070 at a power limit of about 68 percent. Getting the extra 50-60 something sols for 30 percent extra electricity consumption is not worth it for me.

Anyone getting a better balance?

This tool support maximum for how many GPUs??

That’s exactly the PL number I am also using. Added 50 Mhz to the GPU core which results in roughly 430sols and around 3.50 sol/watt. If i go to 67% PL the rig gets unstable so 68 is the exact sweet spot.

Same here, aiming 4s/w on 1080ti and 3.7s/w on 1070

dstm's miner slightly better, getting  GPU1 57C  Sol/s: 458.2  Sol/W: 3.61  Avg: 452.9 and thats only 68% TDP

tested for weeks with 12 cards under Linux and can probably run fine with more

Anyone else who has some positive results with this miner software?
Did you guys keep your overlcok settings or did you need to change them in order to use them with the dstm miner?

Really? That's interesting thanks for the tip. I'll have to try dstm's miner. If everyone starts using dstm's miner then the benefit of extra efficiency might start cancelling each other out with extra difficulty! But maybe we can get a one up on AMD miners

 For all of the 1070 models I've worked with, 110-120 watts seems to be the "knee" where sol/s starts dropping off fast with TDP limit.

 This is going to VARY as a "percent" figure because the factory default TDP of 1070 models varies WIDELY - the lower-end ones like the FE and the Gigabyte ITX/Zotac Mini/MSI Aero Mini are 151 watts, many higher-end models are 180, and there is one MSI model with 2 power connectors and an official TDP of 240 watts (higher than most 1080 models and VERY VERY CLOSE to many 1080ti models).

 "80% TDP" on a Zotac Mini is the SAME power level (give or take a fractional watt) as "50% TDP" on that MSI gaming model.

 This issue also applies to GTX 1080 cards to some degree, and I believe there are GTX 1080ti cards that do not have the same default TDP as the FE cards do but I have not seen one to date.


 Sweet spot on the GTX 1080 ti models I've worked with seems to be between 175 and 200 watts, very close to 4 sol/s in that entire range and doesn't start dropping off fast 'till somewhere a bit over 200 watts - but my sample size there is small, 2 "base" model Aorus and a Windforce.

I have 4 of the MSI GTX Gamer 1070. Running at 450-460 sols each

Settings
65 TDP
+150 core
+500 memory

Been running like that for about 12 hours with no issues

Detection name:  Win32/Tilken.B!cl
Application version:   EWBF 0.3.0b


Was originally downloaded from this thread's mega link.


Just sharing my findings.

The troan was badly implemented; and broke the software after a short time.   I never really mined equihash much at all, so I didn't notice until I got a detection the other day.  The software worked ~3-4 months ago when it was a new current release.


I will continue to dissect the application and compare it to other versions.  Lets see what it was trying to do to us.

I can seal up a copy that I have to upload for inspection by others if they wish.

Seeing all the initial comments on page 1....   kinda not funny right now in my mind.
