My Rig of 6 Evga 750 ti SC (No bios mod no extra power connector No OC) cards runs at 88W without any load

Running X11 I am running at 384W from the wall.

So 296W for the 6 Cards so 49.34W per card.

Yep, I also use 50W per card for quick reference.

that calculation is wrong =P

your gpus consume idle power about 7.5 W (750ti about 7 to 8 W)

So 341W for the 6 Cards so 56.83 W per card.

Grim, I would guess that his calculation is more correct than yours.

You forgot about CPU etc.

Also, a PSU is not 100% efficient, so watts are consumed in the conversion of AC to DC by the PSU itself.

lol ...

384 - 341 = your cpu and what not ...

and besides that all these readings are from the wall ...

(we don't know his PSU efficiency but you can probably assume something between 85 to 90% which is irrelevant tho in this case)

I will share my observed power numbers for an overclocked (1466 MHz Boost clock / 3504 MHz memory) GTX 970 mining Quark:

estimated 160 Watts for the card itself.

  242 Watts total power consumption (mining Quark) - 85 Watts (at idle) = 157 Watts

LOOPER--

The batch file script that I posted is for windows.  I can now improve on it with the information from bathrobehero.  The batch file kept catching on the Windows error, requiring manual input.

I tried to adapt skunk's Linux BASH scrypt.  One of the things I discovered was that launching the scrypt with "sh", as in "sh script.sh", would always result in an error.  The script had to be launched with "bash", as in "bash script.sh", as using "sh" alone did not implement a certain function.  I failed to adapt the script, I'd really like to use it.

With SP_ including scrypt and n-scrypt algos in ccminer, and DJM34 developing a Neoscrypt algo for ccminer, execution of Skunk's script should be easier.  I just wish my programming skills were better.  BASH does not have a goto command, loops are not so simple in BASH.  If flipclip would share his script, perhaps it would be more simple to adapt.

I am no linux guru, but I have run a script or two.

Maybe you can try this:

chmod +x script.sh     <-- to make it executable
./script.sh                  <-- to run the script

YES--

OK, but I was in the habit of implementing scripts with "sh".  Apparently, "sh" and "bash" are not completely equivalent.  There are some functions in Skunk's script that require "bash".

Further, the Windows batch command "taskkill" will not find the imagename "ccminer*" if a user closes the "ccminer.exe" with a "control-c" keystroke, because ccminer has abruptly been closed.  This abrupt closing triggers a Windows error response frequently, and disrupts the loop on the ccminer launch batch file.  If running ccminer in a round-robin batch file, the Windows error response prevents ccminer from reconnecting and mining until a manual intervention occurs.

Closing out of ccminer.exe in a clean fashion under Windows may require some changes to the source code of ccminer itself.

COMMIT 749--

I just cloned git and compiled build 749.  The 2x970 FTW+ rig  is now mining Quark at 30.6Mh/s, an improvement of 1.5Mh/s for the rig.  Each card is now hashing at more than 15Mh/s.  For the 6x750ti FTW rig, the average hash rate is 38.4Mh/s, and each card is running at about 6.4Mh/s.

Not much change for the 750ti rig, this time.  But, taking into account that some hash rates have been "over-reported" to the local screen this past week, it may be actually faster than last week overall.       --scryptr

I have the windows error reporting completely disabled on my rigs so crashing apps just silently close without throwing error messages. But I've just tested it on my main rig and it crashes due to this line:

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/blob/windows/ccminer.cpp#L2383

That proper_exit(0); is not so proper I guess. Replacing it simply to exit(0); prevents the crash when you use ctrl+c. It asks if you want to termiate the batch file and pressing N let it continue.

And if taskkill doesn't find it's target it doesn't do anything.

ROUND-ROBIN--

Yaamp adapted the round-robin switch to rotate between the highest-paying algo, and it works until Windows kicks out that error.  I was experimenting with a simple batch file that calls a JSON.conf file.  I'll work your code into my Yaamp round-robin file and see if it will run well.  I suppose that means I will have to compile under Windows.  If I get that far, maybe it will rotate for me.

I did try to disable all the Windows error-reporting.        --scryptr
