EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[TessellatedGuy]

Anyone getting random horrible hash rates? My 1080 strix goes from 480+ suddenly down to 150. Then with a change of clock frequency just up and down slighty, or restart its back on 420,but not 480 which it used to be.

Try using an auto mouse clicker (I suggest the one from murgee) and set it to move your mouse after a period of time repeatedly. If it does fix your issue (as in the hash rate stays consistent all the time), then you're probably having the same issue that I am. It's probably a bug caused by something, probably not the miner because it was fine for me before a windows update or maybe after an nvidia driver update. (I'm mining with a gtx 1070 and my hash rate goes down from ~480 to 130-150 when idle almost like yours).

I would like to know gtx 1060 3 gb cards performance. Can anyone tell with details, who have experience?

I would like to know gtx 1060 3 gb cards performance. Can anyone tell with details, who have experience?

I'm getting roughly 300 H/s with ASUS 1060 3gb cards right now.

Haha oh man. If it's my window version idk what to say. I sold 2x 980tis for 2x 1080 because I thought they had gone wrong.

My main comp use brand new windows 10 version downloaded this April. Running a 1080 ti with no performance loss. Going to install newest version of w10 on my rig too now it seems

Haha that clicking worked. Thanks man

how do i use the --api and view it?

Can you give more details with tdp? I want to compare with amd rx series

how do i use the --api and view it?

The information that you need to read the API information is found in the Help.txt file.

Code:

API Description.

Api establish the tcp connection and send through it json data, like a stratum protocol.
Every json request and response must be ended with new line symbol \n, this symbol used 
as a sign of data end. 

Request example: {"id":1, "method":"getstat"}\n
Respond example: {"id":1, "method":"getstat", "error":null, "result":[{
		"gpuid":0, 
		"cudaid":0, 
		"busid":"0000:01:00.0", 
		"gpu_status":2, 
		"solver":0, 
		"temperature":64, 
		"gpu_power_usage":150, 
		"speed_sps":420, 
		"accepted_shares":1000, 
		"rejected_shares":1
	},{
		"gpuid":1, 
		"cudaid":1, 
		"busid":"0000:04:00.0", 
		"gpu_status":2, 
		"solver":0, 
		"temperature":70, 
		"gpu_power_usage":100, 
		"speed_sps":410, 
		"accepted_shares":1111, 
		"rejected_shares":2
	}
]}\n

Method getstat:
  Request parameters:
    id       optional,  type: unsigned int,  response will be have this id.
    method   required,  type: string,        method name
                      
  Response parameters:
    id                          type: unsigned,          id from request or 0 in other case.
    method                      type: string,            method name
    error                       type: null, string,      null if no error otherwise message 
    result                      type: array of objects,  array contain objects by one for each gpu
    result[0].gpuid             type: unsigned,          internal gpu identifier
    result[0].cudaid            type: unsigned,          gpu cuda identifier
    result[0].busid             type: string,            pci bus id in format: 0000:00:00.0
    result[0].gpu_status        type: unsigned,          status of gpu 
                                                         0 - gpu launched, but not yet work,
                                                         1 - gpu launched, but he prepare to work, for example execute benchmark. 
                                                         2 - gpu works
                                                         3 - GPU stopped, for example, a temperature limit is reached
    result[0].solver            type: unsigned,          selected solver
    result[0].temperature       type: integer,           gpu core temperature
    result[0].gpu_power_usage   type: unsigned,          gpu power usage in watts, not all devices support this in this case this value will be 0
    result[0].speed_sps         type: unsigned,          gpu performance in solutions per seconds
    result[0].accepted_shares   type: unsigned,          amount of accepted shares
    result[0].rejected_shares   type: unsigned,          amount of rejected shares
    Remark: temperature, gpu_power_usage and speed_sps updated every 30 seconds.

At this moment supported only one method "getstat".

You will need to write some sort of software interface to use the information from the API.

I would like to know gtx 1060 3 gb cards performance. Can anyone tell with details, who have experience?

I'm getting roughly 300 H/s with ASUS 1060 3gb cards right now.

Can you give more details with tdp? I want to compare with amd rx series

Optimal TDP is 100W with core160/memory800 overclock. Overall score is 290 S/s.
 Thats 470/570 performance plus you save 50W of power. The only downside is that is not so good at mining ETH compared to Radeons.
You can try increasing OC slowly until unstable. All the way up to 180-200, depending on card.
If you have Samsung memory go for 1000memory OC.
If you do not care about power consumption you can push them to 310 S/s without increasing PL.

But buying 1060s for a 6 card rig is dubious. Go for 1070 if you have the money or buy a couple of 1060s and then use the money they earn to buy 1070s one by one.
1070s have much better resale value, as do 1060 6G.
Or you can buy 1060 3G and put fans at 100% and they will die in a year so hopefully you will get an new shiny 2060.
Thats what I am doing with my 970 right now

I loveee my Gigabyte 1060 6G - currently sitting at 51c - 323 Sol/s - practically silent, ticks over like a perfectly manufactured slinky slinking its way down a never ending set of stairs. Bulletproof, in every sense of the word. I'd shoot it, but I enjoy hating my AMD rig so much sometimes that it would render any gunfire scenario impractical/nonsensical.

Super important post, coming through! More-so bordering on the realm of Law, rather than personal opinion.

So, yeah, if you can get a good deal on a 1060 - or find yourself at a krux - I can at least give the thumbs up re the 1060 6gb - as it was a spontaneous purchase, hadn't planned to get anything - but was quickly tiring of  the alternative.

[Sinprier]

Dear @EWBF can you add additional restart option to your miner? Sometimes miner cannot restart cards (looks like cards restarted but it doesnt work) and I have to close app and open it again, then it works perfectly. So I think software need option to restart like Claymore did (restart PC if cards went down, or re-open app if cards went down). Thanks

what GPUs are you using? they are all 1060 ? (or are you mixing different GPUs?), what power limit?, are you OCing?, what motherboard, what kind of risers, are your risers powered?, EWBF miner on 1404 is a no brainer, it just works perfectly, it has to be something in the hardware, :p plz answer that, see if we can figure it out

Make a .bat file with this in it:

Code:

:startminer
miner [all your current paramers] --eexit 3
GOTO startminer

The --eexit 3 will exit the miner on any error (see the help file for details)
When it exits, with the GOTO command, it goes back to the line tagged with :startminer and then launches the miner again.
Such an infinite loop should do the trick

What with cheapest 1060 3GB cards are ok for zcash? I read here, try to find on other sites, youtube and not so detailed info

Such cards like are ok for rigs?
KFA² GeForce GTX 1060 EX OC 3072MB GDDR5
Palit XpertVision GeForce GTX 1060 Dual 3072MB GDDR5

Please share experience, sols/power from such cards.


Anybody have 8GB KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 EX Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16? Is it ok?

I am thinking to buy cheap 1060 3GB cards and make 7-10 cards per rig - possible? Anybody tried with nvidia 1060 3GB?

I use 5 1060 gpus, they all are 1060.

I aslo think it's the problem of hardware

Try changing PCIE ports speed to Gen1 in BIOS.
