CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[sp_]

So I assume pretty much everyone here uses MSI afterburner for tweaking and monitoring (with GPUZ thrown in on the side). Is there a skin that makes the program more usable? I've been using it for years and it's always a PITA scrolling throw the graphs on the right and changing between cards for tweaking. Not to mention the graphs get messed up and aren't always organized by card.

You can even build simply batch files that tweak all your cards with different parameters in one go. To satisfy even the most OCD miners out there, you can also build custom batch files for every different algorithm (since different algos allow for different overclock settings).
Here's a sample batch file tweaking one 980 card, undervolted, high fan, high clocks, fixed pstate-2:
nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,220 -setgpuclock:0,2,1390 -setMemoryClock:0,2,3505 -setpowertarget:0,120 -setfanspeed:0,80 -forcepstate:0,2
Cheers!

But changing the clocks with NVIDIA inspector doesn't work on the 750ti. Only the 970, 980 ++ cards

But I thnk the last commit don't show the average rate for a period time, but the average rate after the miner has waited for n seconds.
ccminer -a quark --benchmark --time-limit 30 2>result.txt
Mine for 30 seconds and display the last calculated total hashrate..
I want the average rate over the whole interval.

what about always printing the total average rate when the program exits?

If you take a look in the implementation the program is using the global_hashrate variable, but we should create a new Long long long long variable that accumulate every hash calculated and when exiting display the totalhash / time. to get a bether rate.

The globalhashrate is overwritten.

we could use a double or a fraction of the total hashes, the approximation might be ok.

or a long enough sliding average (say 1 hour or more).
EDIT: there already is such a tool in stats.cpp, the window size can be defined with STATS_PURGE_TIMEOUT

Evga Precision 4.2.1 looks like this. 4 cards on one panel and with a button it jumps to the next page where it shows the rest. Unfortunately newer versions only support up to 4 cards (last time I checked).
You may want to delete or rename EVGAVoltageTuner.exe if it's choking a CPU core 100%. On some rigs it does, on anothers it doesn't and you only lose the voltage options.

You sure about this sp_?
I don't have any 750 TI cards anymore to test this out, and coincidentally, I was also using EVGA's PrecisionX when I did have them, so I don't have any personal account either way. A quick google search found me some hits showing posts from people that reported using Nvidia Inspector with the 750 TI to enable/disable performance mode and other stuff.

For me Nvidia Inspector works on the 750ti. I have to change from P-states to change the core clock and another does the mem

Nice. Then I know how to fix the bug in the --gpu-engine and gpu-memspeed parameter

Yeah, I use it on occasion. Setting the clocks isn't the bad part of afterburner, it's trying to monitor all the GPUs easily.

That's a good start, lame on the 4 card limitation though.

I know Multiminer had built in stats for some things last time I used it, although that's AMD only. Wonder why there isn't a UI mod for some of these programs that just makes a nice grid out of everything.

This is the monitor, grid-style, on Nvidia Inspector. You can fully customize what is on display, launch the monitor from a command line or batch file, save settings as needed. Are you looking for something else?

Weird never knew Inspector had that built in. Just found the button, thanks. Still would be great if there were a easier way to control all of this. Just means I'll have Inspector open as well as Afterburner for tweaking.

you can monitor with msi ab. It is possible to get an independent windows with all the graph you want to monitor (the size is adjustable, and it is possible to change the order of the grpah from the setting tab)

On my Win10 system, MSI Afterburner has memory leaking issue.  After 2 weeks of continuous run in the background, it ate up about 1.7GB of RAM and refused to launch, throwing out "Out of memory" error.  So I have to kill it and relaunch it once every 2 weeks.

I upgraded from Win8.1, didn't feel the hit in performance yet.

it doesn't really matter if you have 750ti, it however starts to matter with the 980

depending on the algo, you might lose up to 25%

Wow  :oo
I'm running quark and got 18MH/s++ at 150W TDP.  Before the upgrade, I was getting less than that, but sp has improved the algo along the way, so not a direct comparison.

[antantti]

1080p gaming rig, W10 + OC 2600K + Gigabyte 970 OC.  Latest SP-MOD. Core OC +108 so that afterburner shows 1493-1500 core under load. 18.3 MHASH quark.

Have one of my machines using W10 and 970s, I haven't noticed this. Perhaps install newer drivers? Also disable automatic driver install.

Also haven't noticed the Afterburner memory leak. Miner has been up for about a week and a half and is using 6MB of memory in Afterburner.

Yeah, you still need to scroll through the list. I didn't know you could reorganize the graphs, I knew you could turn them off though. Grids or tables FTW.
