EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[thesavoyard]

Ok so currently 540 sols for gtx 1080 OC. I expect it will gain at least 10% with the boosted memory clock.

[un4given]

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.

GTX1070 price is also getting lower and 1070 is still a better choice in terms of performance for different Cryptos due to better memory. 1080 Ti will be better anyway, but the final price will influence the investment decision.

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.

My 1070's do 490 Sol/s


Even at 450 here is some math. When dividing the investment cost of a 1070 and Sol/s with the 1080ti, the 1080ti gets 50% higher hashes while costing 75% more almost. You actually gave me a regular GTX 1080 price rather than the 1080ti there

That is a slower ROI for the 1080ti

Of course after hitting the ROI you stand to gain from higher hashing so depending on how long ZEC or another coin remains profitable it can be a better investment after 2 years+ but that is a lot of foresight. Right now we're in a bubble for mining profits with ETH going PoS in a few months and the net hash flooding everything else.

Is there any low intensity mode with this miner so that the screen isn't lagging? I've got 1070 in my desktop, and would like to be able to use the computer while it's mining, but right now it's so laggy that I just have to stop the miner completely. Tried different solvers but that didn't solve the problem.

They are dropping the 1080 price and making a GTX 1060 with factory OC'd memory

Best solution I know to use the computer and mine smoothly is to do a script that uses little memory clock focus like LBRY or DCR

[Etherion]

how can one monitor the miner via the api? did someone make an app?

Speaking of the 1080 Ti, below are some of the benchmarks done by cryptomining-blog.com

• GTX 1080 Ti ccMiner 2.0 RC2 benchmark
• GTX 1080 Ti Nicehash benchmark

Use excavator and set single thread only. PC is perfectly usable, even for watching movies. Plus, it doesn't have a fee, so you will earn more.

Thanks, it works. It's quite a bit slower though, I'm getting 450 H/s with EWBF, and only 395 H/s with Excavator, so I don't think I'll earn more with it.. but definitely more than not mining at all!

Up memory clock, set TDP to 70% and you will have same speed and no fee.

Up memory clock, set TDP to 70% and you will have same speed and no fee.

I'm not limited by TDP and not using this adjustment at all (never really understood why people use it, is there any advantage to it instead of manually adjusting voltage and clocks?), I've got a fixed core voltage (with MSI AB curve, set to 0.875V for this particular card) and fixed clocks (1911/4400). With these same settings I'm getting 450 H/s with EWBF and 395 H/s with Excavator. GPU won't go any higher without increasing the voltage and RAM won't overclock any higher as well.

[CitricAcid]

You don't need a 1080TI to get 600+ sols, you can get it with the regular 1080gtx with ver. 3.2b

If you launch only 1 thread, then speed will not be so great, so is your GPU load only like 90% instead of 100%. To reach full speed, you need 2 or maybe even 3 threads.

[Bulletdodger]

yeah, I noticed the performance upgrade with 3.2b
I have a downclocked 1070, and I can squeeze 460+ sols from it @135W at the wall (even though TDP says like 60%),
I tried OC'ing it just for fun and got around 500.

Give advise, please
I have periodical instability. Miner hangs with error each day
I use 1070 palit with game rock premium bios. Temperature near 60 C

Before that i use nisehash miner eqm and it was stable during months

Hi. What sort of error and what version of miner? GPU overclocked?

Hi
Yes Game Rock Premium it is overclocked version of cards. In stock it was game rock and jetstream versions without OC and I use bios from GRP cards.
Miner version sure 0.3.2b

What about stock settings? Does the error always start with the same GPU? In this log it gpu 1. And try the solver 2 it slower but more stable.

Where is info about solver? How it works?
Why do you think that it is GPU1?

--solver 0, --solver 1 etc values from 0 to 4. For pascal gpus better choice 0 - 2.
Error 77 can happen with one gpu but after it all other gpu will exit too. And miner can't restart threads automaticly.
In your log file "device 1" exit first.

Also you can use this bat file:

:loop
  miner  --eexit 1 ....
goto loop

It will restart miner automatically in case of error.
