in 1.36 you need to increase the --xintensity for the best speed.

Windows. Cuda 11.4 build.

[sp_]

You should run the cuda 11.5 build for the best speed.

hashrate bugs in 1.28

When a solution was found,  it exited the solver immediately without scanning the whole range of nonces, but the full hashrate was added. This is caused a inflated hashrate. Worse on on low difficulty.
An index bug sometimes caused hash to be added to the wrong gpu, so if you run with a good gpu and a poor gpu in the rig, the poor gpu's hashrate could be inflated.

In 1.29 we don't send shares to the pool if the diff hash changed. On a vardiff pools (p2p style) or simulator pools this might reduce the hashrate, but we did it to reduce rejected shares on real pools like Nicehash.

in v1.36 we have increased the number of samples in the average hashrate, so you should run for a longer period of time.
We reduced the default intensity to reduce the stale shares.

Poolside the cuda_11_5 1.36 should be better, but the defaults might not.

f.ex for AMD cards
--xintensity 512 is pretty good on 2miners.com . Much better than 24.

AMD 6900xt:

xintensity 24: ~60MHASH poolside
xintensity 512: ~70MHASH poolside

I see, so the reported hashrate should now be more accurate, right? However, why does the latest version show higher hashrate in the beginning and then it drops?

I see, so the reported hashrate should now be more accurate, right? However, why does the latest version show higher hashrate in the beginning and then it drops?

The Poolspeed is sometimes high and sometimes low in the beginning. The average hashrate is only accurate after enough samples has been collected. The gpu can also trottle. f.ex if the memory or core is too hot, the speed will be reduced. Other factors that can reduce the poolspeed hashrate is problems with the internet / network / pool.

Hi what settings I must use on rig with 13 3080 Palit GameRock no lh , I try any kernels and xint , but L0L miner , faster all time . I am on 2miners pool , driver 495.46 HIVE os , maby I don't understand what to do with alot of settings , kernel , tweak , xint . Can you help me ? I have the same rig , on lol , and it faster (((

What kernel and tweak I must use for this cards ? 7-8 ? Or use only kernel without tweak ? Version tbm 1.35

[sp_]

I would think that kern 6-8 will perform best.
but depends on the power settings of your gpu. A lower kernel number  works better if the gpu has a low tdp. Run the autotune a few times and see which one is the fastest in your setup. Increase the power if it doesn't end up 5-8

[abanamat]

Getting better results with GMiner - lower displayed hashrate but twice more shares per minute. But anyways I want to tweak TBM for my needs. EVGA 1070 FTW2

[sp_]

Hello. How to run autotune? Want to tune my good old 1070   Thanks

If no --kernel parameter is set the program will autotune automatically.

Here in the picture (RTX 2060 mobile on ubuntu 20.04) kernel 8 was selected and kernel 0 was measured to be 2.12% slower.  (gpu speed is percent of the fastest kernel)

On 1070 --kernel 0, 1 or 2 is usually the fastest. You need a high coreclock and power to get the best speeds.

Thank you. Any more ideas for intensity or maybe more tweaks? It's already like sport for me - just wanna understand TBM!

Thank you. Any more ideas for intensity or maybe more tweaks? It's already like sport for me - just wanna understand TBM!  

High xintensity only work on some pools. Pools that pay for stale shares. (f.ex 2miners.com, miningpoolhub, nanopool, f2pool and many others.)
The Ethereum blockchain reward stale work, and pools that are made for Bitcoin style blockchains doesn't work so good with the TBM miner.

High intensity with tweak might reduce the stales.

You can try 2miners.com with --xintensity 4096, and get 100% accepted shares and few stales poolside, but on flexpool, ethermine, crazypool.  ~5% stales and lower payouts.

Other than that, there were times when this wasn't occurring that I was seeing 71 MH/s as the Average (3 hour) hashrate at the 2miners pool -- which is about 12-13% above anything else I've ever seen!   (512 intensity; 1642 MHz GPU; 2122 MHz Memory {Actual runtime reported values} @ 145 Watts).  

512 AMD intensity is equal to 2048 for cuda cards. Above 1024 is probobly not working good on AMD cards, but I have reports of good returns with 6xxx on nvidia as well. On the 2080 Super. So perhaps 1250 is the maximum good value?

[sp_]

The speed is good. The miner window will report stale shares, but if you check the pool you will se almost no stales.

[PsKminer]

hello sp_ I think you should check why versions from 1.29 are slower with 3080 NON LHR cards, I have tried with all the tweaks, kernels and intensities suggested in the thread and it is impossible for me to reach the same speeds as 1.27.

I will continue to use that version as long as it is not outmatched by any other miner and for now, the difference is still more than 4%.

Thanks again for your hard work.
