I got a bunch of Nvidia carde delivered today.
First time mining with Nvidia.

I get the "msvcr120.dll is missing" error.

I am about to download the Visual Studio 2013 pack to resolve this.
Is it really 6+Gb ?

Try http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784 instead.

This was the first version i installed, i still have the "msvcr120.dll is missing"
I saw that someone else solved it by downloading the Visual Studio 2013 pack.

But it is 6+Gb
Downloading as we speak but it is really slow.

Do you have MSVCP120.dll / MSVCR120.dll in C:\Windows\system32? If you do, please delete them, and re-run the 6 MB setup file again. Also, which setup did you install? 32 bit or 64 bit? Can you try installing both?

Ethereum is still going strong. New pools make it possible for smaller miners now too. Still no interest in adding it to CCminer?

NON-STRATUM ALGO--

I am thinking that the difficulty lies in the communication protocol.  SP_ modded the hashing protocol, and it is in the latest Ethminer build.       --scryptr

I uninstalled and installed the 32bit version. Now the miner is starting up. Thanks for the tip !

True, but Ethereum is here to stay and its volume can support a huge amount of miners and everybody know what Ethereum is by now and it's safe to say that it will get forked many times so while I can't code to save my life so I'm not sure about the difficulties, it might still worth implementing it long term. Most people with 750 Ti's on windows have a bug heavily gimping the hashrate for some reason (8.7 -> 1-2 mhs).

Lasted longer then Axiom by a long shot. The Volume is definitely sticking around. I hope compatibility trickles into ccminer.

AMD is quite a bit ahead of Nvidia on Ethereum. If I had my rig from a year ago I would have a higher hashrate with worse hardware.

EDIT: ccminer-lyra, the djm34 fork, should work with older cards but, afaik, only compute 3.5 and up.

Ya works with quark but no luck getting to run lyra2rev2 on the 760.
I'm working quark on the 660 as well with it.
Heck one 660 or 760 out does 2x R270's time and half with the latest sgminer for those.
I have 4xR270. and a few 5850 and 6870 setting doing nothing. Pair of GTX480 collecting dust on the shelf.

@ --scryptr I've already looked around and already have the most updated ones I could find. downloaded, thanks.

In my fork Lyra2REv2 works with compute 3.0 cards, but it's not speed optimized:

As others have reported, I am getting higher local quark hashrate reports but nicehash shows I'm down by a lot.


Also having an issue now where when mining Lyra2REv2 where the miner will say its launching 6 threads for my 6 cards, but only 1 card starts hashing. Dunno what's causing that, doesn't happen with other algorithms.

How much morphine were you on when you wrote that? ~_~

And thanks for your continued support of ccminer. Not sure if it's relevant as you don't really seem interested, but the low CPU overhead changes you made to ethminer reduce hashrate by like 20% when you have 2+ GPUs.

I have no problems in Win7x64 with 3x970+1x960. I'm using the sp-mod binary provided by genoil with:
ethminer -F ... -U --gpu-mining-buffers 1 --gpu-workgroup-size 128 --gpu-batch-size 21 --gpu-devices 0 1 2 3

The minning buffers=1 seems better on ethpool, on the others should be probably removed. Maybe there is some more headroom playing with the other 2 parameters...

I got some 750Ti cards going last night. First time mining Nvidia ever so i feel a bit like a noob.

I have some trouble to get my system to detect the gpu:s.
With AMD i usually install my gpu driver and then add one card at the time without problems.

Does the Nvidia drivers work the same way these days ? Or do i have to have all cards installed in the rig before installing the driver ?
My system had problems finding more then one or two gpu:s when adding more cards to the rig.

I will continue working with the problem after work today.

Anyway. The 750Ti:s i have running now are mining at 3.6Mhs @ X11. I will tweak it a bit more when i get more cards added in the rigs.
I am really happy with the speed so far !

[rednoW]

nvidia is famous for its non-problem drivers )) If it is not some strategy, then x11 mining is not a best for today. Quark and lyra2v2 are more profitable (6.5 mhs and 4.5 mhs on 750ti).

[sp_]

I have corrected the hashrate bug in quark. and build a new exe. The version number is still 61

[crsminer]

--ethminer and 750ti on windows--

In a rig with one 970 and one 750ti:

Loading only the 970 with -t 1:
- when running -M (benchmark mode), memory controller load is at 100%, rig is hashing at 18.4Mh/s;
- when running without -M (mining mode), memory controller load is at 100%, rig is hashing at 18.4Mh/s;

Loading 970+750ti with -t 2:
- when running -M, memory controller load for both cards is at 100%, rig is hashing at 27.2Mh/s thus giving 8.8Mh/s for the 750ti;
- when running without -M, memory controller load is at 100% for 970 card and 11%! for 750ti, and rig is hashing at 19.4Mh/s, thus giving only 0.968Mh/s for 750ti (exactly 11% from 100% memory controller load).

I have to say that I have no coding skills, I just noticed this while playing with the switches and looking at Afterburner & GPU-Z readings.

Maybe some of the great coders from here can make something out of this so we can hash at full speed with the 750ti on windows.


EDIT: when adding another 960 memory controller load (for 750ti) drops one bit to 10%, with two 960 stays at 10% and when adding the third 960 (with -t 5), memory controller load for the 750ti drops to 5%.
