CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[Nubminer]

Version 51 has a lower memory usage and higher default intensity. Less memory usage and less power.

My quark intensity is set at 24 in startup batch
FYI I ran the same test on X11 at solo.nicehash I am getting 10575 per card for a total of 21150 k/h reported out of ccminer using release 50 setting intensity at 21
however when I run release 51 I am only seeing 10050 per card out of ccminer.
also nicehash is only reporting 13 to 15 M/h total no matter what release I use
they are both NVIDIA brand GTX980 Cards
it may be the card brand that is having the issue.. I have my GPU at +253 and I am seeing temperatures of 65ºC avg.
I can try other algos and see if the same holds true if you want

Use the 32 bit verson. build 51 has some pointer hacks that works best on 32 bit.
Also make sure that you have compute5.2 in the projectfile/makefile when building.

I will do this today when I get home from work and see if it changes anything... ( running on fresh install of 8.1 64)
will also try on a fresh install of windows 7 32 )

[sp_]

Use windows 7 64 bit or windows 8.1 64 bit. Compile for x86

Sry for noob question...I'm new with nvidia cards

How do I get even start mine with ccminer 1.5.50? Where to put bat file and how to name it "ccminer or ccminer50"? I got 750 ti card. Anything else to do to run it. I want to run x11 algo

Sry again for this kind of stupid question

Here you go for the x11 algo: you can name you .exe whatever you want as long as you use the same name in your .bat. Most just use the name ccminer.exe. Then in the same directory as the ccminer.exe file, name the .bat whatever you want & create your .bat file to read;

ccminer -o stratum+tcp://<poolname:poolport> -u <youruserworkername> -p <workerpassword> -g 2 -i 18.3 -a x11

(where the userworkername is there is an _ or . according to which pool you mine)

Save the .bat you just created, using whatever name you want. I save according to which coin or algo. Note: if you wish to go basic, leave out the -g 2 & -i 18.3. But make sure the -a x11 is there.


The switches (numbers) at the end are the algo (x11) you are mining and the setting that work best for the 750Ti that I mine with (not all cards are the same). Yours may need some fine tuning but read the file about what they do. Also, ccminer has been optimized (credit to sp_ & crew) to run the quark algo at almost twice the speed you'll get by mining the x11 algo, but you'll need to read this thread to find out the details. Now click the .bat you just created with the settings I just gave you (or what works for your card). The .cmd window should open and you are mining, x11 algo should be ~ 3.3mh.

Good Luck and Happy Mining!

You can run ccminer.exe directly from a command prompt. A bat file is useful for simplifying its launch by
specifying the path to the executable and the parameters of your favorite pool. You can call the bat file anything
you want.

If you see files like ccminer50.exe this just means it's a custom build to support a specific compute version.
The 750ti is compute 5.0. You don't have to worry about this unless you want to mine on an older card.
All ccminer-1.5.* support compute 5.0 and above.

The pool paramaters depend on the pool. Many use your BTC (or altcoin) address as a username and some also
allow a worker to be specified. Check with your pool for those details.

GTX 960 with X11 = Normal CCMiner = 3300 kh/s

SP-MOD= 4900-5000 kh/s, a serious jump.

First review of the 980ti..

http://cryptomining-blog.com/4861-crypto-mining-performance-of-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti/

But they use sp-mod 45 wich is much slower than release 51 when mining quark,blake,groestl etc..

Release 51 mines quark@23230 KHS on the 980ti reference card..

Wow that's very nice.

Before i make any conclusions, i'm going to wait until the new R93** series come out, but this is "for now" a winner..
Definitely for those with electricity costs.

In my case, it's all about power.

But as always, 750EUR, i can buy 2x 290x for that price. (keeping in mind that i don't have any electricity costs..).
For 200EUR less, i would consider buying a few of those..


None the less, very nice

Are any power efficiency inprovements expected with the R93 series to compete with Maxwell?
Looks like a pair 0f 970s will give a lot more hash, a little higher TDP for nearly the same price
as the 980ti.

[DragonSlayer]

A pair of 960's will get you near 10,500 KHS on x11.  Unless you are try to max a board with total hash, I would stick with 960's and 970's.  I am real happy with updates to my gaming rig here.  I got a water cool 980 with a 960 used for PhysX.  When I am not gaming, they are mining away.

[chrysophylax]

gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards seem to be the way we will lean towards on a price per hash per watt situation ...

though the only issue ( i think was mentioned by bensam a little bit ago ) is the density of the cards on a single system ...

but for the that reason above - the gigabyte 750ti oc lp ( and they are really a small card - low profile ) means that we will continue with that card until a better one comes out - then determine whether a full upgrade is viable ...

the way the development that ccminer has been going on the sp fork - it seems the smaller cards will be around for a lot longer ...

now to get our internet links back and stable so we can get back to mining / work ...

That's what I've been waiting for..... a 750ti on nitro.... finally if it's integration is good.

[chrysophylax]

sp - you on holidays again? ... or are you working on some more optimizations / additions? ...

if you are working on it - please let us know what updates you may have in the pipeline ...

its all great work that you have been doing ... tanx ...

Merged a change from the tpruvot branch. When the stratum connection was lost, ccminer kept mining even if the internet connection was down. Now ccminer it wil sleep and save electricity.

Having some problems here with this miner. Original CCMiner works fine in my computer with 1700kh/s average mining dmd-gr and the pool im in and Im using the same config for this modded version but in the pool Im in the miner starts to output data in its screen but my gt730 doesnt go over 7% usage which is what the OS uses.

https://i.imgur.com/lEbk23L.jpg

My config params are:
ccminer.exe -a dmd-gr -o stratum+tcp://dmdpool.digsys.bg:3333 -u username.worker -p workerpassword

Im using Windows 10 Technical Preview with special driver version 352.84 for this OS this shouldn't be a problem either since original ccminer works in my OS.

I have two questions for you. Until now, I've used the windforce OC 750Tis because they are totally overbuilt. Max temp is 60°C, with fans running at 40%, which makes them almost silent. Really, I have 4 of these running 24/7 on an open bench, on my desk and they don't bother me. How noisy are these smaller cards? My guess is one smaller fan must have to run faster and make more noise.

Second question, my calculations don't match yours. I find 970s to be better than 750Tis with version 51 of ccminer. As an example, here are two 6 GPUs rigs running Quark algo:

6 750Tis at 155€, 5730kH, 60W
450W PSU 43€
hashrate 34380, power usage 360W, price 973€. 35.33kH/€, 95.5kH/W

6 970 at 365€, 16200kH, 160W
1200W PSU 275€
hashrate 97200, power usage 960W, price 2465€. 39.43kH/€, 101.25kH/W

Can you elaborate on what you think makes 750Ti the better option? Are my figures wrong? Or is there something I don't take into account, like a better overclock on 750?

gt730 is a kepler compute 3.0 card. It's not supported by ccminer sp_ mod ...
