CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[alrami]

With LBRY sp-mod private #1 my gigabyte g1 gaming does around 190mhash @ 1600core. G1 gaming has a tdp of 250watt and 4pin+3pin.
I'll set up a screenshot later when I have time.

My kernel has a 0% memory controller load and can be used in dual mining with etherum. The opensource has 26% memory load and use more power and cannot be used in dual mining.

In release #2 I will include a new intensity switch for dual mining

Sounds good bro, keep hacking away. Consider dropping either the flat fee or the miner fee though, people were right about that. Don't let the haters get you down.

Are you considering me an hater? I am just, kindly, discussing with other users. You tend to overdo, heating up, discussions, and frankly speaking it's not necessary .

I bought from sp some releases, and will keep support his work in the future, as every other good dev in the scene

IMHO words about "haters" were just a joke, bro
think everyones sure, that it's impossible to create a good prog without feedbacks and bug reports.

Yeah, I suppose the same, but I fear that it's the opposite 

If a 980Ti reaches 300, it sounds simply spectacular on pascal (minimum 340 for a 1070 and 420+ for a 1080).. What I like it's efficiency, and I am pretty sure that this comparison it's very interesting regarding that factor. It's pretty clear in the images, considering the frequency and the power limit.

It's not related to the quality of the chip, there's indeed a good amount of work behind it.

My 980Ti was sold, so have no statistic data to imagine. (it was hot)
I'm sure that ASIC quality is important  for SP mods (i'm bough some before)
SP says that 970 can show 190 at OC1600, but i'm remember that one of my cards bricks after OC1541 (same origin as my others, but low ASIC)
so today bios OC set to 1506 for all rig to be sure in stability (some old mods can need even less OC case they can show +20% hash and gives -10% profit at high OC)

I'm not a developer, so i'm at a customer position
SP rules are "Trust, buy and see result", instead of Claymores "Pay if you use it".
So i can buy like a lottery ticket from SP (diff systems, drivers, settings, ASICs, etc)
Claymore allow me to be sure in my income and in a time, need to return my investments
Other customers can feel same, thats why it's a lot of doubts in a posts.

It's just my feeling, and it's nothing personal to anyone ;-)

I am working on #2. My 1070 with a single 8 pin power is trottleing, (core clock is reduced dynamically)
I rewrote a bit and was able to push it from 250 to 262 MHASH on the standard clocks, but compute 5.2 cards are slower.
I think I need to do 2 separate kernels.

More boost for 970 cards with LBRY sp-mod release #2

This is standard clocks on the

Galax GTX 970 HOF

Nice job about the 1070, but surely there's a lot more under the hood.

It would be, a lot, useful if you give also reafings with a watt-meter. 1.2V with 60% tdp of a 970 it's not achievable (too high voltage). That's why I don't use GPUz reading as a parameter for my comparisons.

HOF is 2x8pin card, tdp is limited somewhere in 250-275 range in bios. 250x0.6=150w.

Last winter everyone here was playing with 970's and wattmeters so much that there is no need for meters anymore. I am currently testing latest mod by sp_ on 970.

[sp_]

Here is -500 on the memory and +240 on the core. Note that 1644Mhz stable is only possible in kernels that use 0 memory. The opensource kernal is crashing @ around 1530Mhz

[antantti]

I tested latest from sp_ factory with 8-pin 970 and I can confirm that there is no memory controller load anymore with lbry. That alone opens new possibilities for future development.

Bad news is that 8-pin card is so tdp limited that my tests were worth nothing.

Opensource with core@1500 and -i 25 does about 163MH, crashes with -i 26 or core@1520-1530. Hits tdpwall too.

sp_mod overclocks like beast, 1600 and way beyond but that doesn't help when power is limiting factor.

Conclusion: You need to have 8+6pin card or mod your bios. Waiting for dual miner.

IMHO it's a good idea, but pls test the run of both kernels in one system in one time (someone can have 970 + 1070 in one rig)
and what 1070 you have? some card bios can be changed, so you can get highter DTP

Good to know. I have 2 8+6 970 evga ssc. Have bought sp_'s decred mods in the past.
The usual 0.1?

[sp_]

yes. +3.3% fee

How much watts of power-consumption this card is taking , mate?

[go6ooo1212]

My Palit 980(without Ti)  Super Jetstream is giving me 212-215MH @1653MHz, but it is working stange with the new miner.

[sp_]

This was explained a few posts ago by antantti. The card doesn't have enough power. because 1 8pin or 2 6pin is not enough. Some 970 and most 980/980ti cards have 4pin + 3pin power cables, these cards will give you 10-15% boost on standard clocks and up to 30% with OC.
The same problem is on the 1070 cards. Running with -i 23 is faster than the default (-i 24).

I am improving it in version #2

on my 1070 card it help to downclock the memory..

[Zekku]

yes. +3.3% fee

Aaah. Okay. I've just been using the small amount I do make to order upgrades to my pc lol. Motherboard next then I'll just pay cash for cpu since either way with only 2 cards it takes a very long time.

[sp_]

LBRY sp-mod #2 has been sendt to the donators.

-Faster hashing on low power cards (1x8pin 2x6pin) gtx 1070 +5%
-Faster hashing on high power cards
-Added experimental --dual parameter for kernel tuning. (3-1024)
-Benchmark can now be tuned with -i and --dual so you don't need to wait for the donate to finish.
-Donation has been changed to 4minutes for me and 116 minutes for you. (less connections to the pools)
-bugfixes

[rednoW]

My 1070 can do 290mhs with opensource, when will you beat this result, sp? ))

[bensam1231]

This is incorrect, a 980ti DEFINITELY does not perform on par with a 1070. It's about 10-15% slower.

Maxwell was never under performing, you never took time to tweak the intensity settings.

i don't have a 980ti or any maxwell, if it was only about intensity then this whole sp-mod is useless, but since it is not, it was underperforming

others also said so after trying this version(there is a screen of someone doing more), as usual bensam shooting crap everywhere no surprise

So you don't have either GPU you're talking about, you're just randomly guessing based on random shit you've seen (regurgitating), which you aren't very good at... I see...

Yes, Maxwell is apparently underperforming because you say so... Check... You're not even offering reasons why. The whole reason I mentioned intensity, is due to you somehow believing maxwell is underperforming? Do you even know what underperforming means? It means it's not performing where it should be... And that's simply not true. 150Mh/s for the normal miner for a 970 and 250Mh/s for 1070 is exactly where it should be. Comparatively, Pascal actually looks to be underperforming with Epsylons miner.

With LBRY sp-mod private #1 my gigabyte g1 gaming does around 190mhash @ 1600core. G1 gaming has a tdp of 250watt and 4pin+3pin.
I'll set up a screenshot later when I have time.

My kernel has a 0% memory controller load and can be used in dual mining with etherum. The opensource has 26% memory load and use more power and cannot be used in dual mining.

In release #2 I will include a new intensity switch for dual mining

Sounds good bro, keep hacking away. Consider dropping either the flat fee or the miner fee though, people were right about that. Don't let the haters get you down.

That was a general statement.

That aside, too bad if you don't like me 'heating things up', I have to deal with shit like Amph who just randomly piss information of no value or merit around the thread and mislead people. It doesn't help keep things organized... Hence his 'Ethereum Pascal fix' that never happened, matter of a fact WDDU didn't even fix things for W7/8, it was a Nvidia driver update at the beginning of August and was told to 'upgrade to W10 because W8 and W7 are dead'. Guess what? Still using W8 and have no intention of changing over to W10 as there are still issues with mining on W10... The WDDU upgrade didn't fix all the problems.

I have a decent amount of money invested in cryptos, as I'm sure quite a few other people around here also do, sorry if I take things seriously. I don't like listening to kids spout random shit they have no idea about, completely fucking with others that are trying to run their businesses because they want to be the guy that people listen to.

I bet he's still recommending people mine Lbry... Basically Claymores Dual miner has been a replacement since it's release. Lbry on occasion earns more, but the markets for Dagger/SIA/DCR are much more reliable.

I am working on #2. My 1070 with a single 8 pin power is trottleing, (core clock is reduced dynamically)
I rewrote a bit and was able to push it from 250 to 262 MHASH on the standard clocks, but compute 5.2 cards are slower.

Yup, I've noticed this and mentioned it a couple weeks ago. Apparently while getting lost in the Lbry craze, people didn't take time to look at other miners and see what sort of TDP they use (Lbry is actually relatively conservative power wise). Almost no one is mentioning that they're running into the TDP cap. ~110 is too low, which is what most 1070 GPUs have for a maximum... Unfortunately. Lbry sits neatly under 110 for most GPUs, a couple I have even bump against the TDP cap and throttle a tiny bit with Epsylons, it's really hard to notice unless you look for it.

Good job on removing the MCU usage. That frees up avenues for a dual miner.

yes. +3.3% fee

You increased the dev fee to 3.3%? What happened to 2%?

My 1070 can do 290mhs with opensource, when will you beat this result, sp? ))

Yeah, only you are getting that.

[Amph]

it's underperforming compared to this version, jesus you are not even able to read right, really a waste of time talking with you

and again with this "regurgitating" no sense, keep repeating it like a retard will not make it true
