else scrypt:n and jane are not the same :p

Submitted another speedup in quark/x11. +50-100KHASH on the gtx 970.

Not sure about the other cards. Please test..

(More of blake512 - 80 was  precalculated.)

Speedup is not more then 30-40kH on quark. But lyra2rev2 is sooo good!

[bensam1231]

In addition to ScryptJaneLeo being hard to set up, it's not very profitable. It needs to double in value to be on par with quark.

BTW W10 machines get 2/3 the hashrate of W8.1 for ScryptJL

Yes I submitted another speedup in lyra2v2 as well. Most of the first round and some of the second round of blake 256 precalculated(100 assembly instructions removed and replaced by 16 32bit constmem reads). The first round of Keccak256 unrolled, and 24 xor instructions removed. (x^0=x)

More speedups are comming

Can confirm speed up in lyra2rev2 for 750 Ti.

Nice, and thank you.

this is for you:
3eab6f22bb361680190f12cd9f12bde1292752b29f4e801e554c501eaed99747

P.S. i don't want to continue that thread about opensource, but i decided to say my personal opinion.
Everybody of you guys had a good point: about private dev miners, about license, donations etc etc...
But i want to say that before that it was really interesting to participate in nvidia mining. just for fun.
Why only for fun? everything is simple. most of us - IT guys, everybody knows salary in IT. but if we will check number in mining, even if you have 100 750Ti cards you CAN'T earn more that 2k usd a month, but it still less than even average salary.
and everybody understand that 100 750Ti it's big... big farm and you need additional time to keep it up and running. So... after numbers, why not to do something just for fun, for good community, for cooperation.

Ok, this was just my 2 cents. don't get it close on your own.

My GTX 960 get a speedup in lyra2v2 around 100 kh\s

It would work if there weren't mining farms that can easily pay 5 BTC for a miner ;-)
When there is money... game over!

But if you have 1000ti's you will earn 20k USD a month and then you don't need to work any more.
But GPU miners have been burned before in the bitcoin/litecoin rally.
The risk is extreme. Big initial costs, big electricity bills. High risk.. With the current bitcoinprices it's not worth it..
When NVIDIA release their 16NM chips next year you have 1000 useless GPU's

Thanks for your support.

I have 3 commits in the lyra2v2 after release 70. Small steps that sums up to more free hashpower..

That's why I sometimes release private miners as well.
The latest sp-modded pentablake miner was 100% faster and sold to 5 people that gave me 1,5BTC in a few hours.
Then I give something back to the community and optimize the other blake's in x11,x13,x15,x14,x17,quark and lyra2v2 and opensource.  
Just a few KHASH, but over time they matter.

A few KHASH in the most profitable algo, is worth more than MHASH'es in a less profitable algo.

[Cryptozillah]

I am thinking about adding five gpu:s shortly.
Not sure what is the most bang for the buck gpu right now, i have been a bit inactive in this thread for a while.

I am looking at:

EVGA 750Ti FTW (Quark 7.3Mhs stable, running ten of these already)
Asus Strix 950
Asus Strix 960

Anyone got some fresh hashrates on the 950 and 960 cards with the latest ccminer mod ?

[sp_]

My EVGA ssc 950 is only doing 8,5 MHASH on the standard clocks in quark.
The 960 strix is doing 10,7 MHASH (standard clocks)

The 960 or more 750Ti cards seem to be most bang for the buck then.

Prices here where i live:

EVGA 750Ti FTW: 180usd
Asus Strix 950: 219usd
Asus Strix 960: 279usd

quark:

Note that the gtx 960 is drawing 100-120W while the 750ti is drawing 60W( Haven't messured the EVGA 750ti but I guess it's similar to the other cards)

The 6pin powerconnector is only giving 75W so it draws up to 45W from the motherboard. With 6 960 cards you might need powered risers.

The 950 has a tdp of 90W I think


...

The current lyra2v2 kernal is only drawing 40W on the 750ti.

I have powered USB risers in all my rigs so power i no problem if i go with 960 cards.
I will take some days thinking it over before i decide what to buy at this point.

I really love my nvidia rigs and pretty much hate my 280x rig right now. It is pulling too much wattage and producing a shitload of heat.
I will probably shut the AMD rig down for a while and maybe sell the gpus. ETH seem to go only one way from here, south :/

I was calculating about switching my nvidia gear to lyra2v2 some day ago, i might try it out in the coming days.

Thanks for the numbers, i really appreciate the help.

[ldp5500]

950, 960 I do not think there are advantages, is 750 and 750TI has certain advantages, 970 personally feel that as a reference.

That's why you need to crowdsource. Small miners don't have 5BTC, but when we all put 2% of our hash together we can make a epic Spirit Bomb.

A few pages back bathrobehero was saying the 970 was offering the best bang for him.  Though that could be regional.

Another offtopic question: what is your most profitable card to get depending on your region?

Edit: where I live it seems the 970 has kicked off the 750 Ti off its throne a while ago.

I'm mostly curious about the significance of regional differences. So should I wait for the 980/980Ti cards to decrease in price or should I just stuck with the prices I'm given.

[myagui]

If my quick 'n dirty math is sound, I wager that the 970 offers the most hashrate per $ (or per BTC if you prefer). The 750TI has better efficiency, but costs more to build whatever overall hashrate target, and that's without even taking the density limitations into consideration.
