Thanks for the report, will fix this next release with hashrate improvements, so far use version 0.36.10.


WildRig Multi 0.39.0
- lowered default devfee to 0.75% for kawpow, other progpows, heavyhash(not a kaspa), sha512256d, skein2 and so on(details check on github/bitcointalk)
- significant improvement to heavyhash(not a kaspa) on NVIDIA gpu's and AMD RDNA3
- implemented support heavyhash (not a kaspa)on Intel gpu's
- removed progpow-quai


WildRig Multi 0.39.1
- significant improvements for skydoge and all other x-like algorithms
- returned memehash with improvements and only 0.75% dev-fee
- slightly improved rwahash
- implemented experimental parameter --zil-another-miner, it will pause mining for ZIL PoW Window so another miner(like official ZILMiner that don't miner ZIL all the time) running in parallel can mine with full hashrate. In addition implemented OC parameters like --zil-core-clock and so on.

WildRig Multi 0.39.2
- significant improvements for skydoge on NVIDIA gpu's
- removed pufferfish2(waiting for coin to resurrect first)
- fixed regression on AMD pre-RDNA gpu's for different x-like algorithms

WildRig Multi 0.39.4
- improved memehash, skydoge and other x-like algorithms on NVIDIA Pascal and Turing gpu's
- slightly improved rwahash on RDNA3
- fixed rejects on some pools like mining4people that sends same job with changed diff
- fixed Polaris and Vega support on x-like algorithms
- fixed --zil-another-miner on Linux

WildRig Multi 0.39.5
- fixed kawpow and other progpows on pools with switching coins(nicehash, zergpool, zpool, etc.)
- slightly improved ghostrider for NVIDIA and Intel gpu's(up to 1-2%)


WildRig Multi 0.39.6
drivers with CUDA 12 support is required for NVIDIA gpu's(will be fixed in next release)

- fixed 100% cpu load on Windows while mining ghostrider with NVIDIA gpu's
- one more fix of rejected shares for Mining Core based pools(mining4people, miningandco, etc.)
- fixed long initialization of NVIDIA gpu's with weak cpu's
- fixed broken hmq1725(and some other similar algorithms) on NVIDIA gpu's

That one is broken for me and can't work anymore:


Using Win7 OS.

0.39.5 and any older versions are working fine.
If you could fix it would be great.

I did expect that, since NVIDIA implementation moved to binary way ) Can you please specify driver version do you use? Probably I will return PTX way as a fallback one

[zertor]

Yep, I'm using the latest suitable nVidia drivers 474.30 for my GPUs/OS

ok, I will check what can be done here.

[zertor]

Thanks a lot!


P.S:
Just noted some miracle, nVidia has released a new GPU driver for Win7, for GTX 10xx Series,
after so many years++ ...

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/214106/en-us/
Version:   474.66
Release Date:   2023.10.31
Operating System:   Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit
Language:   English (US)
File Size:   593.89 MB

GeForce 10 Series:
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, GeForce GTX 1080, GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, GeForce GTX 1070, GeForce GTX 1060, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, GeForce GTX 1050, GeForce GT 1030, GeForce GT 1010


I'm going to try them now and will update you if will makes any difference with  0.39.6 version.


Update FYI:
Installed the new driver 474.66 fine,
but 0.39.6 version still throw the same errors.

Switched to 0.39.5, while keeping the new driver 474.66 works OK.


Will keep using the new nVidia driver 474.66.

Yeah, I figured out, looks like CUDA 12 support is requeired in drivers. So will search a way to support previous versions too.


WildRig Multi 0.39.7
- lowered driver requirements for NVIDIA gpu's to CUDA 11 compatible(452.39+ on Windows and 450.80.02+ on Linux)

hotfix 0.39.7.1: fixed apply of gpu OC back after ZIL PoW Window

Thanks! That's working fine.

Hello, thank you very much for the new version. I want to report a problem.
For example, I think that a sudden drop from 6 KH to 3 KH, that is, a 50 percent fluctuation, is not normal. Thanks a lot. Rigim 1xRTX3070, 2XRTX3060 and 1XRX580 are available.

I think you are talking about ghostrider, but this is how this algorithm is working Similar story was with x16r years ago, but a bit different here. Depends on current block of a coin you are hashing with different type of cryptonight hashfuncs. Some of them are very lightweight(only 256Kb of mem per thread and 65536 iterations for some memory operations) and some are very hard(2Mb of mem per thread and 262144 iterations for some memory operations). And there are three of them in a row, so hashrate drop can be even higher if you were mining easiest hashorder. You can check maximum difference using --benchmark-hashorder parameter. Run miner with --benchmark-hashorder 555 and you will see maximum possible hashrate, with --benchmark-hashorder 222 will give you minimum possible value. But avg is something in between while real mining on pool.


WildRig Multi 0.39.8
- implemented --zil-reset-oc, it will reset gpu overclock settings when ZIL PoW Window starts
- now --gpu-reset-oc will reset gpu overclock settings when ZIL PoW Window ends
- fixed logic of --gpu-core-clock, --gpu-memory-clock, --zil-core-clock and --zil-memory-clock, now those parameters will set core/memory clock to default value if use 0 for them
- fixed heavyhash for Vega and Radeon VII on Linux with new drivers
- fixed x22i and x25x for NVIDIA gpu's and AMD RDNA
- slight improvement for memehash and skydoge on NVIDIA Ampere and Ada gpu's

Wow, I haven't updated the miner in the last few weeks and now I gained almost 50% hashrate increase on my RTX 4090s with the latest version, thank you, here is a video test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK0F8-5Mc-c

WildRig Multu 0.39.9
- removed --opencl-launch, now only possible to set intensity with -i or --gpu-intensity

[zertor]

Super.
Thanks for the updates!

[VasilyS]

zergpool is not not working since 0.39.9. Last working version - 0.39.8

Algorithm? OS? GPU's? Drivers?

[elmo40]

I see people on zergpool using 39.9b.

yeah, but looks like there is one specific bug that prevent mining to start(probably related to dns resolve of IP addresses for dev-fee pools), trying to figure out here with one miner.
