yep not much but better than nothing
P.S. already checked 1.5.68 release. yep a little bit faster on 750Ti.
in nearest two days will check power consumption on different core and memory, will post results.

Thanks. In 10 years they might be worth 1000$ a piece. :-)

If you have time, Run the miner with different x settings and check the power usage / hashrate.

-X 1
-X 2
-X 3
-X 4

Try release 68, it should be faster on the 750ti. I use -X 10 as the default value. (Experimental intensity) 37,5% less gpu memory needed.

I get 5MHASH on 1388Mhz core and 2700 MEM. (750ti 38W tdp)
The 970 is peaking at 9950KHASH

just tested with 1388 core, but couldn't set 2700 mem, the lowerest what i can do - 5400(stock) - 2100= 3300 mem. everything which is lower - driver crash. seems like it depends on card.

but with 1388/3300 can reach only
GPU #0: GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 4555 Temp= 50C Fan= 39%



but still without power consumption info.

[sp_]

Depends on your software but I think the mem is multiplied by 2. so 2700 in one software is 5400 in another.

I get 5MHASH with 1388/5400 (x86 windows)

bensam1231 , I don't have watt meter . I think it's a consumption of 120 watts . Voltage standard 1.193 .Don't increase the voltage . Just increase the TDP BIOS . See the screenshot ..

Hmmm... Every miner should have a watt meter. Buy one for $18 on Newegg (Don't get a Kill-A-Watt, they break like clockwork every month).

Voltage doesn't tell a whole lot or TDP as Manufacturers change it around.

I lost about 20 btc on an exchange that got "hacked", although I think they just took it all and ran. When it was up to about 1100$ a while ago.

I got mad and quit mining altogether, I just now got back in the game and this quark mining power on nvidia cards is insane. When I stopped mining it was still cpu only.

I get about 54mh/s with 2 980ti's mining quark, slightly overclocked and -C and -i 25.

Any one get any better results? I think this is a great number but I want the most I can possibly get, just like the rest of us.

Donation coming soon once I build up a little more coinage.

 

Hashrate doesn't matter. There isn't a linear increase between profits and hashrate as coins are smart and auto adjust to the network. Only way to get ahead of the curve is with better hardware (ASICs) or custom kernels. Both of which don't do anything when everyone is using them.

You very well could've been making more money back when Quark was CPU only, although it seems like CPU only coins always end up fodder for botnets.

I understand the that the network adjusts to the hashrate, I only meant to point out that technology is a fast moving m f'r. And I love it.

I updated my post a bit ))
quark made it to decrease gpu clock (PerfCap Reason: Pwr), but with neo and lyra there is a space left for o/c

Upd: I decided to let it throttle if it wants to and push it to the limit (1260/1180) and got 3650kh/s in quark)))

on our gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards -i 22.9 seems to be the best intensity and the best hashrate so far for quark ...

though thefarm is now back on x11 ...

Agree, Ethminer is still very lucrative although it looks like Nvidia hardware hit the memory controller limitation and can't go anywhere else, much like Cryptonote.

Look at lyra2v2. It's also a memory hard algorithm.

280x Sgminer opensource(200watt) 4MHASH
750ti Djm-34 (sp-mod) opensource (40watt) 5MHASH

It's like creating a etherum miner that does 35MHASH on the 750ti.

But the opensource is only doing 8MHASH...

(djm34 here...)
The main difference between the algo of ethereum and other mem hard algo, is that you can't rescale mem usage as it always requires the full dag file to run (ie 1.2Gb or so of vram with many random over the full dag file)
Meaning you can't really improve passed what has already been done... (yeah, I tried already  ).

But you should be able to make the kernal run at copyspeed. (memory bandwidth limit) The gpu can do register operations while writing to memory. The keccak passes should be integrated and more than one hash per run. Then you will get keccak for free. (memory pipelining)

Not sure what you mean about a 35MH/s Ethereum miner. Cudaminer Ethereum is currently more profitable then the pub Lyra miners. 20% more and it would be more profitable then Ethereum, but still not as profitable as Quark right now (that includes power usage).

Looking at GPUZ Lyra doesn't peg the memory controller at 100% like Cryptonote and Ethereum does. It sits at about 50%

Also I don't know why, but I just checked L2v2 on .68 and it's missing about 1MH/s compared to the DJM version.

Is VTC solo issue fixed ?

T-nelson was working on it when a "Lyra2v2 doesn't work" false alarm propagated thru the thread.  He is diagnosing with one 750ti, so it may take a week to hit a block and get error log and debug info.  CryptoMining Blog states that CCminer crashes on hitting a block, and my personal results agree.  However, I was not running any error-catching software.       --scryptr

Thanks. i got one crash when found a block so that block has not been accepted. Waiting for the fix.

For a simple introduction to Cuckoo Cycle, please check my recent blog post at

http://cryptorials.io/beyond-hashcash-proof-work-theres-mining-hashing/

That's an intereseting concept for PoW (I know I'm very late to it), but I don't see any coin using it and it's been around since 2014...

very interesting indeed ...
i would definitely look into that with granite ...
#crysx

What's granite? Another GPU info tool like GPU-Z?
Are there any such tools available for Linux?

no - its the x11 coin im renaming to granite from granitecoin ...

been working on it with core coin dev and - anomgst other things for the granite network ...

ccminer ( and sgminer ) have played a HUGE part in thefarm - which mines and continues to grow to mine - most of the coins out there ...

the granite ecosystem is coming together - and part of that is the donation links for miners ( to the devs ) and the pools ... i am just getting it all together slowly ...

so no - its not a tool for gpus ... but a coin that can be mined with gpus - and im continuing to look for ways of improving it ... and i do it all under linux ... ...

I have noticed one strange thing with NiceHash (Quark)

I always get lower rejected hash after a reboot. If i reboot all my rigs i get like 30Mhs more (130-140Mhs in total) in total accepted hashrate. And then it slowly go down to stabilize at 100Mhs, at the same rate as the rejected hasrate goes up.

So right now i am rebooting my rigs on schedule every two hours to keep the rejects as low as possible.

Anyone have an idea about why this is happening ?
