VTC BLOCK??? --

While I was typing, I think that I hit a block with my Win 7 x64 GTX 960:


GTX 960 error result, solo-mining VTC on Win 7 x64

Unlike earlier crashes, it wasn't non-functional when found.  I am still getting the same error 18 minutes later, every 30 seconds.

I am going to go back to Quark on my rigs.  If your get another test build, I will try it.       --scryptr

Solo is broken on SP's several miners, from the newest, every time a block is found, that error pops up.

CCMINER STATS--

@T-Nelson--  Your Linux CCminer displays stats differently than sp_'s version.  I get Temperature, Fan Percent, and "c=0/0".  What is the third statistic?       --scryptr

C=graphics clock/memory clock
If you're getting 0, it means it's not supported on your cards. Which chipset?

Yup, that's some additions since sp_ cut a release.  Just cosmetics AFAIK.

OK.  Sounds like we at least got the crash.  I'll try to add some more logging and see if we can sort out what's wrong with the request.

I just forced the "dump protocol" command line flag and added another log line.  It will just be on the console with the regular output.  Go ahead and pass -D though.  Can't have too much logging in these cases.

Yup, that's some additions since sp_ cut a release.  Just cosmetics AFAIK.

I added that. It's very useful to me since my cards throttle easily. If you have fixed clocks it might look boring, still you can detect throttle and other strange behaviors in case there is some issue.

Fired my poor gtx750 1gb again, 1500/1600 = 6300kh/s (release 68, quark)

GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 - 7250kh/s - Clocks +180Mhz/+180Mhz (release 68, quark)

You can set the clocks with the current release on windows(release 68). (I use the nvidia-smi.exe file) But the clocks can only be set if the card is in the correct P state. So the program needs to change the pstate as well as changing the clock:

1. Change pstate to 2 and change the memclock
2. change pstate to 0 and change the gpuclock.

Don't remember wich state that allow you to set the clocks, but different p state for memclock and gpuclock.

NVIDIA has cut support for the API in x86 builds, thats why I call the external  nvidia-smi exe file directly.-

check in the helpfile:

--gpu-memclock
--gpu-engine

I want to implent the change in pstate automaticly. Then overclocking will work on the 750ti as well. Just like in sgminer.. No need for external tools..

GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 - 7250kh/s - Clocks +180Mhz/+180Mhz (release 68, quark)

Pretty good, but how much is the consumption? Hash/watt

The 1gb 750 has a TDP of just 35W in the bios.
And on standard clocks it uses around 40Watts to produce 5 MHASH of quark. (125KHASH per watt).
A 970 gigabyte windforce gaming will do around 17MHASH in 180 watts. (94.444444444444KHASH per watt)


So the junior card is 32% bether is hash/watt, but you need alot more cards/motherboards/ram/cpu's/psu's So I guess none of you are mining with the gtx 750 ?

Solo mining is working in release 61, so something must have happened. Check the checkin logs..

Just tried ver 61 for SRC (quark) and got crash with

Code:

JSON-RPC call failed: invalid parameter submit_upstream_work json_rpc_call failed

testing ver56 right now...

same error and crash (quark algo).

R61 should work for lyra2v2

[qqqq]

R61 should work for lyra2v2

Can't check this cause too much time for block needed. Can't waste 1 day.

Does  C work on the 750ti. I can't get it to work. thx

[pallas]

Does  C work on the 750ti. I can't get it to work. thx

It's a very simple call, similar to what it does for fan speed which works, so I don't think there is a fix for it in ccminer code.
If it never works on 750, I or Sp may add a check to show it only if compute >= 5.2
Anyone with 750 and working clock logging?

sorry - just popped in ...

clock logging? ...

i can compile the latest and test - if you let me know what im looking for ...

My 6x 750ti rig is now solo-mining across my LAN to my Win 7 x64 work computer.

According to the CoinWarz calculator, My 36Mh/s VTC rig should find a block every 0.72 days at the current difficulty (~520)

Hi scryptr, if i missed something, your card in lyra2v2 can do 36/6=6mh\s each?   EVGA FTW cards?
