[ANN]Bminer: a fast Equihash/Ethash/Cuckaroo29z miner for AMD/NVIDIA GPUs 16.4.9

[chuckn3v3rsold]

Hi,

I get this error:

CUDA error DRIVER: '2' in func 'bminer::cuckoo::CuckooStyleSolverCudaBase::InitializeCudaEnvironment' line 76
[FATA] Fatal cuda error in GPU 11. Terminate soon...

bminer 15.7.4
1070 Ti's
Windows 10
418.81

update: after restarting the rig, it works

[anl1m]

friends explain what i'm doing wrong. My gtx1080ti give out only 1.20-1.30 GS on Cuckatoo31 from one card. The cards are good MSI and ZOTAC AMP EXTREME on all other algorithms they give more than given in the examples. My settings: power limit 70 core frequency +125 memory frequency +650. driver version 425 CUDA 10.1

Nothing is wrong. The 1.3GS is a good result. If you want 1.4-1.5 - set 80-90% TDP.

ok, just see on the firs page this
1.55 G/s on GTX 1080Ti
and want to reach this result. TDP-power limit?

If you want reach 1.55 don't limit power. And I would recommend +150 for core and minus 500 for memory with the Pill.

does Pill have an effect on cuckatoo31 too ?

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.7.5.
The release provides:

* Improve the performance of the miner of Cuckatoo31.
* Increase the dynamic ranges of -intensity for older machines to fully utilize the GPUs (at the cost of a slight performance loss).

Please see https://www.bminer.me/releases/ for more details.
Happy mining.

Hi, there is a problem with new nvidia driver 431.60 (with 431.36 is all ok)

Older driver  (I tested 431.36, 430.97, 430.86)  is OK and works good with HW above and on mixed rigs (Pentium, celeron, rtx 2070, gtx 1070 etc..)

I can confirm this problem: Nvidia driver 431.60 do stop the miner with the above error.

very nice - 1.7 on 1080ti on c31
good job !
waiting for 2 Gs

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.7.6.
The release provides:

* Fix the regression that the Cuckaroo29d miner fails to start on RTX-series cards.

Please see https://www.bminer.me/releases/ for more details.
Happy mining.

The same what i am doing wrong!!!!? 1.20-1.30 gs power 100% .  or 1.20-1.30 with 90% power and +100 core. I try different combinations till the card fail, and nothing more 1.20-1.20  Do Bminer hane -i intencity parametr? May be i dont know some thung? The cards are good MSI and ZOTAC AMP EXTREME on all other algorithms they give more than given in the examples (driver version 425 CUDA 10.1). Please help.

the same what i am doing wrong!? 1.20-1.30 gs power 100%

What about your power supply? Is it enough to speed up?

maybe i was lucky when i choosen my card
here is all my conditions  - MSI too, ubuntu 18.04, driver 418, cuda 10.1, core+100, mem+100, pl 100%, temp <60, summer outside
last shot: aeternity algo - 8.5

Nice try mate, but this isnt possible. Tested with a full rig of watercooled 1080 Ti's with max core clocks of ~2100 on Win10 and the speed is still below NB. Also, and this is since i stopped using Bminer months ago, the speed decrease from card to card, even with a very stron CPU. First 2 cards have the full speed, next 2 cards are lower, next 2 cards are even lower, and so on.

Maybe you see ~1.4-1.5 with 1 or 2 heavy overclocked 1080 Ti's, but thats all on Win 10 and again, still below NB. If Bminer uses more memory on Linux than the 8G solver, this could be another story.

on 1080TI the same problem with driver 431.60

on 1080TI the same problem with driver 431.60

2070super get the same error with latest drivers

And yes, I noticed in my rig 2 card have 1.4  the other 1.2 and then even 1.18

Great speed increase, I'm almost 1,7 G/s on Grin31 for a 1080ti.
