Primecoin GPU miner: 9.1 CPD on a 280x / pool / 2% dev.fee

[zcvetkov]

Question about the settings and watching miner

I have 3 gpu Sapphire R9 280x Vapor
cpu G1610 with Patriot 4G Ram

First 24h I receive 3 blocks now next 48 nothing, so Im little confused
I use now primegpu miner 1.03

estimate average chains per day cpd - 2.20
estimate spot chains per day  cpd - 2.40

GPU time 335
GPU time 330
GPU time 325

-cpuusage=4
cpu usage on task manager I see 60%

with overclocking of cards to 1080 I see time on 360 and cpd 2.44 and 1.50


What is better bigger gpu time or smaller ?
cpd for 3 cards need to be around 3 or around 1?

thanks

I'm also going to put in a vote to not go with ypool. They have god awful uptime and I have significantly improved my earnings by just moving to a pool that doesn't go down all the time.

I'll vote that all the idiots stay away from ypool ty. There has been no significant downtime since ddos protection was added.

This is a good program, I'm currently mining with it now.  Please take pool banter to another thread. Argue it out there.  Allow this for configuration's and releases, or things useful to this miner.

agreed this thread is not for bashing what ever pool u don't like, i just take exception to fools posting pure and complete BS.

i must be lucky as hell cause i started up another wallet on a rig with 6970's thats mining scrypt and xpm for beeeeer but i had the conf set to server/gen and the phenom ii 965 hit 4 blocks within 6 hrs if thats not crazy plus i hit another on a single 7970 none yet with dual 290x or dual 7970 in that time i remind u that the 965 was mining on beeeeer and solo mining at the same time

If anyone believes the BS u spout they need their head checked... fuck off back to mcxnow so u can brown nose RS

why dont u stop derailing this thread

Ur the one who derail this thread by posting complete BS about ypool, this is a solo miner nothing to do with any pool.

if you knew how to read he is saying he is working with a pool  you must be on a botnet why dont you just use claymores since your so much in love with ypool

I'll gladly take this flame war to pm to stop it derailing the thread.

[kev7112001]

would have had more but got 1 orphan

-cpuusage=4

thanks

Quite strange values you got there I would say...
Just for comparison purposes:
=====================================

- I have 2 gpu Sapphire R9 280x Toxic
- cpu i3770K with Patriot 8G Ram
- using the same as you do
- though got the client set to use -cpuusage=9
- cpu usage on task manager won't go over 12-13%
- both cards clocked to 1150 MHz on core and 1000 MHz on memory, undervolted to 1.088 V

with above I am getting following:

Code:

Primecoin GPU miner ver. 1.03
-----------------------------
Mining time: 0.31 hours
Est. Average Chains Per Day (CPD): 2.82
Est. Spot    Chains Per Day (CPD): 2.95

Pass: 549
GPU #0   time: 207
GPU #1   time: 193

- started mining exactly 7 days ago and so far I found 10 blocks (1 orphan) and 8 10-chains = 82.05000000 XPM in total so far

and for your last two questions:
   What is better bigger gpu time or smaller ?
    - the lower the better as I have been advised by guys over here
   cpd for 3 cards need to be around 3 or around 1?
    - as the title of this thread claims - its up to 1.4 per GPU, *3 in your case

ram 6Gb
2x R9 290
overclocked core/ram - 1150 / 1300
cpuusage=8

this was best settings found

est.aver    cpd  about 2.4

what can i try to do to increase perfomance?
