[ANN] [1080 | 1080TI] ETHlargement - The Hashrate Hardener

[ganzocrypt]

This works like a charm, except on my Asus strix 1080ti cards.
It seems to pull down the core clock as soon as I start the pill.

Same on zotac mini 1080ti. If i downclock memory from +600 to +200, core clock goes up significantly.

and what is the hashrate? I got 36/38 on mine!

If you are mining ethereum or its forks with gpus and have a github account you ahould flood this post
by the eth devs and asic shills discussing reducting block reward only, or forking Asics and reducing blook reward.
So far most of the support serms to be for Asics.  They are discussing all this in a meeting tomorrow so leave your imput as gpu miners.

On zotac mini i get around 48 mh/s with tdp 63, core 200 and mem 300. If i clock memory higher, the core frequency drops to about 1100 mh/s and the hashrate goes down to 42-43. I also have evga sc2 and palit gamerock prem with no such issues. They are steady on 51-53 mh/s with tdp 63, core +100, mem +600.

As for me it's useless to increase core for ETH.

I have similar results.  I use core -100, mem +650

Increasing it to around 140-180 will let you lower the power limit. 1080 Ti needs around 1450-1500 core clock in order to maintain 54MH/s+ hashrate. Right now my cards are running at ~165W and ~55MH/s on Linux.

Please support the 20 series too!!!
Too early to ask, I know, but I just can't wait to get my hands on it!

With minus 100-150 for core we can do 56+

yes, those zotac mini`s will drop core to 1100mh/z no matter how much i clock it. they are on 60 tdp however. increasing it to 65 boosts a core clock well over 1300 and in that case i can normally clock mem to 600. must be something in the very design of power distribution within the mini itself, other cards run smoothly on 60 tdp.

GDDR5X MEMORY--

The memory used by 1080/1080ti cards is GDDR5X memory.    Without the Pill, these cards give less than optimal mining performance.  GTX cards in the 10 series below the 1080 level use GDDR5 memory, which performs well as-is.  There is no big need for a Pill for GDDR5 memory cards.  Better mining code may help.

That said, there may be a possible Pill for 980/980ti cards, as they also have GDDR5X memory.  A 980ti card will mine ETH only slightly better than a 970 card.  The greater number of CUDA cores in a 980ti does not result in a proportionally greater perfromance.  A 980ti with a Pill should mine ETH about 28+ MH/s.

Performance with GDDR6 memory (2080ti) has yet to be determined publicly.       --scryptr

980/980ti use GDDR5 also, not GDDR5X.

Checked and it's not hardening my progpow hashrate.

PROGPOW IS FASTER SANS THE PILL--

I tried it both ways, and the Pill hinders ProgPOW hash rate.  The miner was unstable when running the Pill and mining ProgPOW on 1080 cards/ethOS (linux OS).  My 1080 cards are now mining CryptoNight Heavy with the Pill at about 785H/s, vs 735H/s for my 1070ti cards.  The 1070ti cards are not running the Pill, of course.  Both rigs run ethOS.

Without the Pill, my 1080 cards run CryptoNight Heavy in the mid- 600H/s range.  This is with XMR-Stak, +120 core, +700 memory, ethOS operating system.  The 1080 cards are the most stable on CryptoNight Heavy compared to ETH and ProgPOW both.  The Pill does help with ETH mining, of course, but I did not see fantastic 40MH/s -plus hash rates as some have reported. The 1080s ran in the low-to-mid 30MH/s range, and were unstable, with the Pill.  Clocks for ETH mining were the same as I am now using for CryptoNight Heavy.   Energy use for CryptoNight Heavy is about 50-60% the wattage for ETH.

I have a few ProgPOW coins (BCI, BitCoin Interest) now, sitting in my wallet.  When do I get my interest?  ProgPOW supposedly takes more energy than ETH.       --scryptr

Every card is different. Some guys achieve 40+ on 1080's but the majority won't. I was able to squeeze 37 out of my EVGA 1080 SuperClocked but at the expense of stability. They do 36 nice and stable however.

You need to register for staking. Go to my.bitcoininterest.io and register your wallet details and amount of coins you want to stake for what period.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY--

I guess I have some reading to do.  Maybe I should invest my CPU-mining revenue in BCI.       --scryptr
