Running a 12 core system with a 970 GTX, and trying to figure out if I've done something wrong. Windows GUI is reporting ~200H/s for CPU and ~15H/s for GPU. I'm used to running GPU only mining (was on YAAMP forever), but its been my experience that GPU should be faster than CPU. System is fully updated on latest software / patches / drivers. Everything runs as expected against YAAMP clones, and SimpleMulti, so I'm 99% sure its not my hardware.
I've also got roughly 40% bad shares, and none of the logs will open from the menu for me to try and do any of my own troubleshooting.
Might help to mention that I'm using the GUI miner, set to Smart Miner, which at this time has been on XMR for both CPU and GPU, with FCN set for merged mining.
Anyone? Opened a ticket as well, but thought I might get better / faster information from here.
thanks!
UPDATE, setting my GPU intensity (unsure how I missed that) to 2-4 dramatically improves the GPU speed, however it causes alot of GPU kernel crash and recoveries. Because of the frequency of the crashing, I got a warning that the miner has been blocked from accessing my GPU.

Looks like I'm running stable on Intensity 2, but the GPU speed doesn't appear to be stacked with the CPU when looking at the website dashboard, so I can't tell if it's actually doing anything. Still having issues with high failures, and can't use the logs in the menu. Calling it a night and will hope its better tomorrow.

Are you sure your PSU is capable to handle the load of both a 12 core CPU AND a 980GTX, at FULL throttle? If there's not enough juice the issues you've mentioned are the most common for someone to observe. If you want to test this, just run only the GTX for a couple of hours (rise the intensity at the highest level possible) and see if it comes up with errors. Then switch to CPU mining only, without the GPU. Observe the results. FYI: I'd go with at least 1KW PSU for such a setup if I were you...

I don't have a 980 GTX, I have a 970 GTX which is MAXWELL based and uses quite a bit less power than a 980 GTX. I'm also only running a single card, no SLI. I had no optical drives, only SSD, water cooling in an A/Ced house, and minimal accessories via USB. This machine is designed to be cool and quiet even under load.I've got an 860w Platinum certified active PFC power supply. This system has been completely stable for the last year or so I've had it mining and gaming concurrently, it never crashes, and only restarts for updates. Based on the measurement of my battery backup system I'm only hitting ~250w usage while the mining is running @ 6 Cores with GPU intensity 2. I never said full throttle, you did. This is well within stable specs. I've still got plenty of other questions about this thing though, so please don't get hung up trying to troubleshoot the GPU. 1) How do I get to the logs to try and troubleshoot or offer feedback when asking for support? The log's menu does nothing when I click. 2) Why doesn't the GPU hashrate seem to appear added to my CPU hashrate on the website's dashboard? 3) Why are 40% of the shares I'm submitting bad? Monero - Good shares:3,628 Blocks:0 Bad shares:2,942 Bytecoin - Good shares:3,110 Blocks:0 Bad shares:3,647

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way and should start with basics...
1) Does MinerGate GUI 5.0.3 x64 (latest on site) work with Nvidia GTX 970? 2) If GTX 970 is supported through the MinerGate GUI, can someone please provide an idea of hashpower for a single card so I have a baseline to measure my system against? 3) What logs can I review to get more information about how things are working under the hood? I'm guessing that even though my menu's do nothing, the logs still exist and I should be able to find them? 4) Assuming everything is working correctly, should my hashrate from both CPU and GPU be combined in the website's dashboard?
I'm running an i7 with 6 physical cores, 12 logical cores on Windows 8.1 with 16gb ram. This system is water-cooled, and I have real-time monitoring of power usage and rarely tip 50% of the power supplies capacity. All drivers are current. Daily gaming at max settings, as well as running CCminer for over a year on this system without any issues.
I've tried running the MinerGate CLI, but have not spent enough time with it to know much more other than it appears to detect CUDA 5.2.
I've been sitting in the English chat tool on minergate.com as well if anyone wants to do some real-time assistance.

Here is some logging I see out of the CLI miner, which I believe I've setup to match 6 cores and GPU intensity 2... I'm guessing the GUI miner is having the same issue, which is why I can't get anything out of it.

Something seems wrong to me when I enable GPU mining.

The way I see it, seems like a software error (probably broken drivers). The best way to do it is via a brand new windows installation, then latest nvidia/ CUDA drivers and see what happens.
Good luck on this.

That seems a bit extreme for a system that has no problems running games maxed out, or mining using ccminer.

That seems a bit extreme for a system that has no problems running games maxed out, or mining using ccminer. I'm afraid there's only one way to find out. Get an old HDD and do a clean install. Both Nvidia & Ati/AMD have great issues with their drivers; in the past there used to be a specific tool to uninstall (remove registry entries as well) for the CUDA drivers. Unfortunately I can't remember its name... ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

The way I see it, seems like a software error (probably broken drivers). The best way to do it is via a brand new windows installation, then latest nvidia/ CUDA drivers and see what happens.
Good luck on this.

I've done that and while it removed a bunch of previous driver junk, I get no change in behavior.

I'm offering answers below in-case others can find value. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way and should start with basics...
1) Does MinerGate GUI 5.0.3 x64 (latest on site) work with Nvidia GTX 970? Claude from MinerGate support confirmed support in GUI client. 2) If GTX 970 is supported through the MinerGate GUI, can someone please provide an idea of hashpower for a single card so I have a baseline to measure my system against? 3) What logs can I review to get more information about how things are working under the hood? I'm guessing that even though my menu's do nothing, the logs still exist and I should be able to find them? The logs are available in %localappdata%\minergate\log The log menu didn't work because no app was associated with the .log extension on my PC. This has been corrected. 4) Assuming everything is working correctly, should my hashrate from both CPU and GPU be combined in the website's dashboard?
I'm running an i7 with 6 physical cores, 12 logical cores on Windows 8.1 with 16gb ram. This system is water-cooled, and I have real-time monitoring of power usage and rarely tip 50% of the power supplies capacity. All drivers are current. Daily gaming at max settings, as well as running CCminer for over a year on this system without any issues.
I've tried running the MinerGate CLI, but have not spent enough time with it to know much more other than it appears to detect CUDA 5.2.
I've been sitting in the English chat tool on minergate.com as well if anyone wants to do some real-time assistance.

Out of curiosity, did you ever try a clean install after all or did you solve the problem?

Minergate is performing a little better, but is still WAY underperforming other mining tools. I tried the CCMiner listed on the alternative miners page and got ~300H/s, which is almost 100x faster than the minergate GUI and CLI apps.

Hey guys, Heads up that AEON is going to be hard forking in a few hours with a change to the PoW function. Please make sure you have the current wallet from http://github.com/aeonix/aeon My guess is that your pool code probably won't work as-is but the modifications needed are pretty simple. MoneroMooo made the necessary changes for cryptonote-universal-pool. More info on the main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.0

It was posted to the ANN thread 1-2 months before and the new build was released two weeks before for the hard fork, with the subject heading of the thread changed to "MANDATORY UPDATE HARD FORK". Please stay current with announcements and updates as the coin is undergoing rapid development, and I can't proactively reach out to every single service every time. I posted the above here because users on the thread had mentioned they didn't think minergate was up to date. Thanks!

I used minergate pool, primarily mined Bytecoin and Monero, i don't liked your desktop client. I was slow, and the alternative ones gived the best hashrate without doubt. Right now i stopped because i'm mining ethereum ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
