what is the default intensity for Lyra2rev2 on a 980 ti??

The default intensity is  -X 18. You can test with -X 30. Might be faster?

Thanks-
I have been setting intensity by device since I have a 950 in the mix.  20 seems to work well with the non-monitor 980 ti-

When I mine Joincoin on Pentablake I keep getting "GPU# 2 - scanhash_pentablake out of memory" error.  Do you know how to fix this? GPU#2 is a GTX 960.

Thanks - pokeytex

thats usually an intensity error mate ( cuda threads in gpu memory ) ...

1. Make sure that you use a 64bit windows installation.
2. Upgrade to the latest driver.
3. Add 16Gig of virtual memory in windows and reboot

If it doesn't work, reduce the intensity. with -i 23 or similar.

@Sp ...Is this  -X  intensity taking the place of over clocking?  thx

No overclocking. The intensity parameter adjusts the size of the number of hashes that are stored in memory.
You can verify this by running gpu-z and observe the allocated memory.

The -X intensity is linear growth of the memory buffer. The -i is exponential.

Thank you - I will try the intensity setting.

SP - ok I will make a larger vm in Windows and try the intensity setting.

Thank you.

So if I set no overclocking and by using the  -X and -i parameters I get a higher hash rate.... no overclocking needed?  Or, theses parameters add extra hashrate and I can overclock getting even higher hashrate?

setting the intensity is a matter of using the gpu resources better.
overclocking works on top of it.

Ok thx pallas. And how do I do that with mixed cards.  750ti  an 980ti in one bat file with the -X parameter.

If I am not mistaking - I believe it goes like this - -X 18,18,15,20,18 (where the placement of the intensity number refers to your GPU number)  So GPU 0,1,2,3,4 in a (5) card system?  Correct me if I am wrong please.

My poor superclocked 950 can barely get 5400 KH while my overclocked 750 TI can get north of 5200 KH using much less power- is there any more data I can give you to help with dialing in the 950?  Intensity for both seems to top out at 20.

There is nothing wrong with your 950 or your config. All 9-series maxwell gpus are poor in lyra2v2 performance compared to 7-series maxwell hash/w wise. 950/60 really suck because of their crippled 128-bit memory lane. Better mine some other algo with them.

980 TIs  arent too bad- but I get what youre saying.  I think there is some room for optimization on the 950 however- Its should be able to hang and outpace the 750 TI by a wider margin-

Usually I mine Quark- but the payrate has tanked as of late...

The 750ti will go down as "The little engine that could". For what they are capable of power wise they can't be beat. If the other Maxwell cards could give the same performance (hash per wattage per price).

Fully agree- especially when you consider the price point I picked it up at-

Everything can be improved with bether code. Most of the developers have worked with the 750ti. But fast code on the 750ti isn't always fast on the other maxwell's.

thefarm is a complete gigabyte 750ti oc lp powerhouse ...

the amount of power expended for the hashrate - has been the best i have had in a VERY long time ...

i cant give you static figures - just bills ( which i will on refer to - not specify ) - but the power bills in comparison to when thefarm was completely running gigabyte 7970 / 20x oc cards is a HUGE difference ...

even though the hashrate is much lower in comparison to the amd cards - nvidia has about half of the hashrate at about one third of the electricity bills ...

and from where im standing ( and forking out my pocket from ) thats a damn good deal ...

the private kernels would make it that much more efficient also - if anyone was willing to make a deal on them ...
