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

[cryptoyes]

Grin C31 (rigs with 13 gpus, but also rigs with 7 gpus).

I see that 15.3.1 is trying to automatically set CPU intensity based on number of GPUs. Sadly, it's still much slower on pool side than 15.1.0. I have 13 gpus per rig, mostly gtx1070, G3930 CPU, ubuntu 16.04, nvidia 415.27, cuda10. bminer 15.3.1 sets intensity to 13.

The reported hashrate by 15.3.1 is about 5-10% higher than 15.1.0, but it's lying through its teeth ... on pool side it's about 15-30% slower than 15.1.0. Something is not right here!

Even on a rig with only 7 GPUs 1080Ti (where it keeps intensity at 6), the pool hashrate is also much lower! For example

The last good version for me was 15.1.0. All versions afterwards have severely degraded performance in my case .

may I ask which pool when you doing the test please?

I'm counting accepted shares within a given time window - this is the same as the pool does. I've been using Luxor pool with a fixed difficulty of 10 (append "+10" to the username in order to set share difficulty). Speed is computed as 42 * nShares * 10 / timeInterval (the pool does the same calculation).

All versions after 15.1.0 have lowered performance in my case.

New miners are capturing more and more of the paging file, so they are writing from different people:

I have replied you once, we are working on fix it. please be patient.

we will check and get back to you

Comparison on hive os - current major public grin29 miners, both 3xx and 4xx nvidia drivers compared
bminer 15.2


sorry for the size of the images :/

This does NOT compare pool side hashrates!

please try adjust the CPU usage with the -intensity flag.

Are you still supporting 1060 cards?   15.02 was the last good performing version.

[Keko Fdez]

Tried Bminer 15.3.0 and 15.3.1 mining Grin (Cuckoo 29). I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti and I am getting 32.7 G/s on the miner but only 27.5 average on the pool side.

Your miner over reads way too much in the console and underperforms. As far as I can see on previous post I am not the only one with the same problem... maybe you could fix it and use real hash values on the console?

May I ask which pool?
also ,it would be great if you can send the log to me. thanks!

May I ask if you mean there is error such as XXX.dll so the miner is not working at all or you mean that the miner works but the performance is not as good as the performance by Bminer 15.0.2?

thanks!

Is the performance rating on bminer.me for 1070 mining beam really for a 1070Ti??? cause my 1070s are right aroung 17 sols per card using 15.3.1.  What is listed is 21 sols per card. 

[N2DCRYPT]

Any planned support for C31 mean mining on AMD cards? Have polaris pro duos, Vega FEs, and Radeon VII's that would fit the bill in terms of mem size.

[hustleman]

What am I doing wrong while mining BEAM (15.3.1v on leafpool) with 10 EVGA 1070 superclocked and superclocked 2s???  I have afterburner settings at 81 powerlimit +84 core and +500 memory and only obtaining 17 sols per card.  The performance rating shown says 21 sols for 1070s.

Yes I would like to see that, too.

Last version off this Bminer verry slow and works verry bad with Eth mining

I have another experience .... I use gminer, there it is ok.

Well that sucks... Trying to avoid gminer due to them having 2% dev fee

Both have a dev fee of 2% for the BEAM coin

Cannot get bminer to work with my 6x RX580 rig. Itś running Ubuntu 16.04 with AMDGPU-PRO drivers 17.40.
Getting the following errors:



How to fix?


Edit:

I also tried the latest version (15.3.1), gives a slightly different error:
