hsrminer - Nvidia mining software for various algos by palgin&alexkap

[sp_]

A related (and not trolling) question... I just tried out hsrminer on a Windows 10 machine with a single GTX 1080 and Neoscrypt went from around 1040 kH/s with ccminer-klaust to 1230 kH/s - a sizable improvement more than worth the devfee. However, moving the exact same card over to a Windows 7 machine resulted in an average speed of about 1130 kH/s while ccminer-klaust still does around 1040 kH/s. Granted, hsminer still handily beats ccminer-klaust, but what could cause the drop in hashrate? The Nvidia drivers are the same on both machines, the amount of RAM is the same - 16GB - but the Windows 10 machine has an AMD FX-8300 CPU while the Win7 machine has an AMD Phenom II x4 955 (a generation older).

I'm guessing I need to tweak intensity on the Win7 machine, but it would be nice to know what the current intensity is so I don't have to go through a laborious iterative search.

ccminer alexis cuda 7.5 sp-mod build does 1360h/s on the gtx 1070. This miner is pure crap.

Please compile a linux version, you are loosing hundreds of cards with potential fees. Windows is useless for mostly anything, especially if you run 10-12 cards per rig. Also check different neoscrypt pool stats, majority are still on ccminer-tpruvot and ccminer-klaust.

Lol, not the most diplomatic of responses, but I'll give ccminer alexis a try next anyway.

EDIT - Trying it now, and if it is the version available from here - https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases - then it sucks donkey balls; I'm getting about 365-385 kH/s, so about 1/3rd even the KlausT variant of ccminer.

With latest driver? Or you need to install some ancient shit?

What's the 1080 Ti performance?
I don't care about chip or OC settings, interval from-to is fine.

[MagicSmoker]

I currently have the intensity set to 3, and just restarted the miner because I noticed the hashrate had dropped from ~1300 to ~1100 for no good reason; this was with -i 2 set, though not sure that has anything to do with it. I wasn't doing anything with the computer at the time, either - it mainly just runs this one miner for now.

EDIT - so after ~1 hour of running at -i 3 the hashrate once again precipitously dropped from ~1300 to ~1150. I'm going to restart again - and kick the intensity up a notch - to see if this is consistently occurring after 1 hour. GPU temp has been steady at 65C, so it isn't an overheating issue, either.

-i crash my miner, 1080ti :

for 1080ti i have max -i 5

can you read? he wrote its SP_ MOD ... its premium miner for 0,05btc (or 0,1?)

and btw, now tested ... instead of 8,5MH on rig with 6*70ti i have only 3MH ....

Actually, smartass, he wrote "sp-mod":

And searching for the phrase "ccminer alexis sp-mod" turns up this page of results:

The first result links to a thread started by sp_ and the first page of this thread has a very likely candidate for this mythical "sp-mod" ccminer:

tested exactly that version now ... instead of 8,5MH on rig with 6*70ti i have only 3MH ....

edited: and btw there is only 1 SP .... its SP_ ... no other person or group SP- doesnt exist .....

I'm fairly new here so I'm not familiar with all the famous and legendary personalities yet. No real harm done, though, so let's leave it at that.

Anyway, sounds like you got very similar results with your 1070Ti rig as I did with a single 1080; I'm guessing that version of ccminer isn't the one that sp_ is selling for 0.05 btc or whatever...

ah you dont talk about neoscrypt miner? coz here are 2 versions of miner ... for HSR and fro NEOSCRYPT .... im working with neo only for now

[MagicSmoker]

No, I was also talking about mining neoscrypt. I just noted that your rig dropping from 8.5 MH/s down to 3 MH/s was similar to my GTX 1080 going from about 1200-1300 kH/s down to around 385 kH/s using that version of ccminer that sp_ may or may not have been claiming was superior.

In other strange news concerning hsrminer, reported hashrate once again drops precipitously after 1 hour of operation. This is really bizarre/fishy.

Also, there seems to be no difference in maximum hashrate whether intensity is set to 2, 3 or 4 - at least on my setup.

I have an issue with hsr. It shows two different errors. 'GPU0 - Invalid argument' and 'Api not available'. I am running 750 Ti. Anybody knows what could be the problem?

This miner doesn't support 750ti.. it needs to be a pascal gpu such as the 1050ti

[cryptominer420]

Yes like LuckLurker said this only supports GTX 10XX Series cards.

[MagicSmoker]

Just like clockwork (almost), another hour has gone by since restarting hsrminer and hashrate dropped from ~1310 to ~1170. Interestingly, I've been keeping an eye on the average hashrate reported by the pool and it has been hovering at 1174...

Sure seems like some shenanigans going on here.

Set parameters -i 5 and -c 4.
With my 5x1080 rig, I have pretty stable 1260 MH/s per card. No drops.
I'm at 80% TDP, +110 core, +500 mem (EVGA 1080 SC), P0 state.

Really? I thought 750Ti being CUDA version 5 it should support it.

Trying that now. I had -i 4 set, but nothing for the -c switch. I am running a slightly different OC profile - +140 core, +300 mem, 85% TDP - but that shouldn't affect results too much.
