ug… try -ct 64 ?

maybe its some wierd, shitty bug on the cuda code ☹ well thanks for testing this for me…

When ever i tried \>64 on my GTX 650 it never worked, 0 Sols just like you. Maybe its because im including such old generation compute units

With -ct 64 I get around 34 sol/s.  
So same as NiceHash miner does.  
I was hoping for 50 sol/s with this GPU ☹

This gives me 43 sols/s on GTX 1070.  
Finally some increase from 34 sol/s xD

hi.  
my GTX1060 3Gb launch with -cd 0 -cs work only on CUDA TROMP 75 (OS win 7 x64)  
or  
GTX1060 3Gb launch with -od 0 work on OCL SILENTARMY, and getting 30 sol

stupid options 🙂  
you have to set -t 0 -od 0 only to run silentarmy on nvidia, i got 43 s/s as mentioned above  
-cs option doesn’t work  
anyway it’s too slow compared to devfee zcminer (58 s/s)

-cs option does work, on gtx980 without cs i get 25 sols on cuda\_tromp, with cs and right cb,ct i get 38 sol/s on cuda\_silentarmy, with zcminer i got 40 max (and often lower like 32) so with dev fee is the same speed or lower and use cpu core… But whole nheqminer compiled by self and spend time to find good cb,ct for my card… I could try compile cuda\_silentarmy.dll for comparision if someone wants. Still eth more profitable.

what .exe to use? i tried all of your builds, -cs option does nothing, the console writes cuda\_tromp  
and only -od 0 gives me ocl\_silentarmy  
an example of my cmd:  
nheqminer.exe -l \*\*\* -u \*\*\* -cd 0 -t 0 -cs -cb 256 -ct 32  
it uses cuda\_tromp, why?

The problem is as far as I can se from compiling and debugs that nheqminer introduced a strange behaviour with loading the nvidia gpus…it takes awhile until the GPU actually starts to work and process the hash.

It takes than a long time until you reach the final hashrate…i let it run 8h and just reached 100h with nheqminer 0.3b it was in seconds at 200h - 250h…something is wrong since they implemented the 7.5 solver
