Why the new account? Did your old one finally get banned?
No, the password was compromised, but it's back in my hands now. Lots of random posts on it so I just use my new one.
hehehe...Guys...too funny, but true.
Now that ccminer is supposed to report a little truer hashrate, what kind of speed is everyone getting for a single 750Ti mining quark? Not that important...just curious. I show around 6.3+Mgh miner side. Also, I'm using MinerControl (finally) and want to know if the version of ccminer that comes with it has been changed just for that program or is it 'stock'?
Thank you
GREAT job sp and friends!!
Damn. With 280X doing 11.4MH/s on Quark, it's not quite good enough. Need to up that.
Yeah and at 250w. I should've switched to maxwell when it first came out, but no one knew bitcoin was going to bottom out.
these devs are doing awesome jobs - and if they help us mine better - they deserve to do deals ...
You missed the part where some of them sold custom private builds behind the scenes (last fall) to big miners without telling anyone they were doing that for a few months and made everyone with pub miners obsolete, forcing them out of the market. I suppose sucking up is a good way of getting those out of them though (not talking about sp btw). It's good to see them practicing more professionally now days.
Also mining is like a pie, mining with a better kernel doesn't mean more income if everyone is using the same miner. When everyone is on the same build, you're mining exactly the same amount as someone else. When a build is updated with higher hash speeds, everyone upgrades and you get 'more coins' for a little bit until everyone gets on the same build again. So you essentially take coins from someone with a crappier kernel (all else being equal). You can't 'get ahead' unless you're using a private build that isn't distributed to everyone else, which has happened in the past as I mentioned.
The poor density of the 750 Ti (having to buy more mobo/cpu/memory) is probably being offset by having to spend on a bigger PSU on a 970 rig. Unless you use multiple power supplies per rig but I'm not a big fan of that.
Yeah, I agree.
I am currently running two PSU's and I just ordered a bigger (850W) PSU to replace them both in my machine. It should be more efficient and stable, as the two ~500W PSU's I have are really struggling to provide enough stable current on the +12V rails.
I determined that they are lacking because the newer, faster versions (V44 and up) of sp_mod-ccminer really tax the +12V rails of these weaker, cheaper PSU's.
The 850W PSU that I ordered can push 70 Amps to a single +12V rail, so I hope to be pleased with its performance and stability.
Yeah, 750tis take a lot of space, even if they're slightly better, which is why I never bought any. I'm currently using 970s. 980s are just a waste of money as they're too expensive for the little bit extra performance they offers (much like the 290 vs 290x back in the day).
"stock clocks" varies from one brand/version of card to another.
But you can always overclock your cards.
I want to make it possible to overclock over the commandline as a parameter.
The 750ti's has sweat spots gpuspeed/memspead that will improve the hashrate.
Is this also true for the 970 and memory speed? I know AMD cards had a good spot for memory with scrypt, but it didn't matter so much for other algos. Also does efficiency go up or down by moving to that spot?
Curiously what happens to 970 or 750 power efficiency when you OC them a bit? Do they lose a lot of efficiency or does it only go out of spec with additional voltage?
