so what happened with CUDA magic on ETH?
Amd memory access is better (specially when you can mod memory straps), that why eth is better on amd, core performance is better optimised with cuda (and nvidia have more speed), that why zcash is better on nvidia.

...or should we say, AMD cards have better memory performance under 2GB but have troubles reaching 2GB+ regions. Unless they really going to fix it in their drivers, I'd say overall nvidia has better memory perf.

Now we are getting somewhere, ETH is more memory speed oriented, of-course core speed is important too, but in ETH memory speed is "more important" with better memory access from miners, amd is doing more MH than gtx, while (Branko was right) in ZEC core speed is "more important" (even on paper gtx have faster core speed) with (better optimization on) cuda gtx is better.

AMD has confirm that they did fixed dag problem.

This is madness. Prepare yourself miners, winter is here!

I must have missed that news. Any independent confirmations?

It would be nice to see some segregation in mining hashpower in the near future. Say, all red cards will be pointed at ETH and all green will mine ZEC.

I think it was mentioned by claymore in his thread,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg20491019#msg20491019

I don't think that driver is still released but its probable that it will in the next days.

Looks like good news indeed. I wonder what did it take for them to fix the problem? Or was it just a bug in the driver?

The 2GB DAG boundary issue reminds me of the 32-bit addressing problem and limitations of an Int32 which maxes out at exactly 2GB.

I have some RX580 and the maximum I can make with them is 26 Mh/s.

I have updated memory timings, overclocked memory / underclocked gpu, but nothing abore 26 Mh/s.

I have one 1080, in Zcash I can get 500-540 sols/s (overclocked) using Nvidia native software.

1080's price is almost twice as the rx580. I'm not sure if it's worthy. Maybe getting 2x rx580 is better.
