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

[dragonmike]

For you people that keep crashing, lower your overclock settings, HSRMiner is not as stable as CCMiner when it comes to overclocking so lower it. The cuda errors are overclock errors. Also, make sure you have AT LEAST the same amount of virtual memory set up as you have memory on the card.. 5 1080ti cards = 11*5 = 55gb of virtual memory minimum. You shouldn't need to set it to restart every hour, this is stable IF you don't push the limits.

How do i set the virtual memory.

I don't have any overclock, just standard settings, so the virtual memory might be my problem.

Try this, it's guaranteed to work. Every time: http://bfy.tw/GGF3

And please do let us know how you get on! Your feedback is important to us!

Your mem clock is extremely low for this type of memory. Set it to 5400 at least, also delete the intesity setting. HSR miner will do the job for you and set it better. Also if you have such low temp, maybe it is not good idea to lower power limit especially for neoscrypt.

Letting hsrminer set intensity has resulted in a mysterious drop in hashrate by 100-150 kH/s after 1-3 hours of operation, and this is with two separate GTX 1080 on two very different machines. But in the spirit of science I'll try your suggestions. I noticed you don't mention anything about core clock, though, and that seems to be the source of woes for me.

Right now my Asus GTX 1080 ROG Strix edition is hashing at 1208 kH/s while drawing 166W at 85% PL, -125 core (varying between 1595 to 1670) and +300 mem (4811). (while typing this the hashrate dropped to 1176 kH/s... sigh).

My older EVGA GTX 1080 FE is hashing at 1218 kH/s while drawing 146W at 85% PL, +125 core (1633 to 1658) and +300 mem (4811 again).

In both cases setting -i 4 resulted in about 100 kH/s lower hashrate but with no real change in stability, at least for the FE card; I didn't bother repeating the same experiment with the Asus.

Hi,

Funny that lowering core is showing those results -- confirmed on my ASUS 1080. ccminer gives 990 on same settings.

Any tips for 1060?

I run
90 power
+175 on core
-200 on memory

750-780 KH/s

I haven't tried hsrminer yet on my 6x 1060 (3GB) rig - I mostly leave it to mining ZEN on autopilot - but I have tested ccminer-klaust and got 650 kH/s with core at 2000 and mem at 4151.

As much as I loved the extra 20 kh/s per card I got with this, the constant disconnects or freezing, makes me want to wait till pladgin is back with a new release.

Hi!
How to check hashrate?
For me miner shows hashrate only 2 times shortly when started.
And then it only shows temperature, fans, and power usage for GPU.
Maybe you can add hotkeys (like in xmr-stak) to display hashrate and accepted/rejected shares?

I switched my 6x GTX 1060 (3GB) rig over to neoscrypt and will keep it there for at least 1 hour. With no custom -i or -c settings the cards are hashing at 700-720 kH/s for 4300 kH/s total. Let's see how that looks an hour from now, though.

Also be warned that the latest update to Windows Defender flags this as a trojan and demands a restart. I had to add exclusions for my USB drive and mining folder. Next I'm going to gpedit Windows Defender out of existence.

EDIT - total hashrate just dropped to 3910 for the (6) cards after 2 hours of operation, so very similar behavior and total percentage drop as with a single GTX 1080. I should note that I am only mildy o/c'ing these cards because they are so close together on the rig (Onda 6-GPU mobo). I'd say Palgin has some 'splainin' to do.

Did anyone get TitanXP working with HSRMiner yet? appears to still be broken....

Titans are not supported.  The developer has vanished.

lol, virtually memory is most definitely a very big factor. Mining rigs usually have 4-8gb of ram and if you have even 1 or 2 cards with low virtual memory you will most definitely get crashes and errors. I run 8 1080ti's, I need 88gb of virtual memory minimum. My system hasn't crashed in weeks and my oc settings are 90%tdp, +100 +600 (some cores run +150 on my hybrids). No crashes.

Go to system, advanced settings (on left side) then advanced tab, then set it there.. Or just google changing virtual memory to get a more thorough guide.

how to count the minimum and maximum virtual memory?

Always set Min equal Max. You *really* don't want to have windows adjusting its pagefile size on the fly.

For what it's worth, we have a number of rigs using this miner for the past couple of weeks or so and have not had any significant drop in hashrate over time.  All of the rigs are on Windows 10 Pro with page file set to the total amount of Vram plus a little bit extra. 80% power limit and a moderate core OC (+100-175 depending on the model of GPU).  --- 388.71 drivers, vga drivers only installed, no audio, 3dsurround, geforce experience etc installed.

Yes, I managed to get this to run very consistently with my FE GTX 1080, but hashrate dropped after some period of time on both my Asus ROG Strix 1080 and my one "real" rig of 6x GTX 1060.

Worse is that I just mined TZC for 4.5 hour with my 6x 1060 rig on the official pool (which finds blocks every few minutes) and got credited for 15.8 coins instead of the expected 18.4 - that's about 15% less, meaning my effective hashrate was more like 3700 kH/s rather than the 4300 kH/s claimed by the program. In fact, that makes the effective hashrate worse than ccminer-klaust 8.19...

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it sure looks funky from my perspective.

I using HSR Miner for the week, and been amazing, but today show a Trojan.

Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock

It's annoying yeasterday don't show nothing.
Any tips?

Look, I realize it's unrealistic to read every single post in a nearly 1000 post thread, but at least read the first and last pages... More specifically, post 926.

According to pool, there's no increase in actual hashrate. I will let you know more in next hours, when I get screenshots without HSRminer. But for now, it seems I could donate my kidney if HSRminer is faster, users are only "donating" to this closed source makers... aka makers are stealing your hashrate.

But hey, who am I to judge.  When there's money involved in any form, these things pop up.

Hello,

I have seen the increase on my pool, GTX1080 is working now at 1.38KH/s for 4 days and steady as rock.

I have seen the increase on my pool, GTX1080 is working now at 1.38 MH/s* for 4 days and steady as rock.

More details please on actual core and mem clocks as well as power limit. I have two different GTX 1080 - an EVGA Founder's Edition and an Asus ROG Strix - and the best consistent speed I can attain is 1230 kH/s, and even this is in question based on the cumulative earnings over a 4.5 hour period on a high volume Neoscrypt pool that I trust.


* - units corrected to MH/s.

Hi all,

All i am getting is rejected shares due to duplicate share. I am using altminer as my pool and have got ccminer working already. I have two gtx970's and my conf file is

hsrminer_neoscrypt.exe -o stratum+tcp://eu1.altminer.net:10001 -u WALLET-ADDRESS -p x -i 2 -c 3

Thanks
