EWBF's NVidia CUDA Zcash miner 1060 - 170 h/s gtx 1070 - 250 h/s

Guys sorry for little offtop. Just remembering if you have difficulties with your mining stability or you need Telegram notifications, please try this script:

Please read instruction carefully. Do not forget to leave like and feedback. If you need help i’m always here to support.

Just cleaned the dust in the graphic cards. After started the system, and there is one pci-e slot with some parameters gray shown in GPU-Z. EWBF also shows some error message ’ cannot initiate NVML. the temperature monitor will not work’. I reinstalled drivers for several times but still got the same message.

Finally solved this issue by reinstalling OS. Funny, don’t know why yet.

can anyone help me with this?

U can reduce overclock then sudo reboot :slight_smile:

my clock only is 50 300 110. where do i input sudo?

You’re using linux right? Because that’s the command you use when you want to restart the system from console.

1060 has 18 mh/s because of Hynix memory. Try to return and find your luck with other 1060’s.
If you are lucky, you can have 1060 with Samsung/Micron and have up to 24 mh/s.
Also the heat is different, seems for me that gpu with Hynix memory is reaching 63 celsius pretty fast.

Hi Guys, I finally found time to do MANY testings… I actually bought new MB, PSU, MEM, HDD, CPU, Risers and one EVGA GTX 1060 3GB… having all spare it was easy to testing… and I found the following:

  1. The risers that I used (marked with Ver 6.0, with the Power Entry being a MOLEX connector) failed a lot. This was the number 1 reason why I got “Error 4” mainly. The new risers (marked with Ver 7.0, with the Power Entry being PCIe 6 pin connector) worked just fine (with GTX 1060, see next bullet).
  2. The EVGA GTX 970 that I was using along with GTX 1060 cards fails every X days when using a riser… maybe the Ver of the Riser makes a difference, but I have not found any information about this. So, I have kept only one GTX 970 for my Alienware waiting on the Final Fantasy 15 for Windows release… it has probably paid itself 5x mining alone.
  3. I got a new PSU and one of this “magic” connectors to jump two PSUs together to increase Watts… however, my GPUs do not consume more than the PSU can provide… my theory was that I might not be having enough “juice” to feed all the GPUs but I do (for now until I buy more and more he he).
  4. I got the new ASRock H110 BTC+ MB, and this Motherboard works perfectly fine with a new Celeron Gen7 and 8 GB RAM (I was suprised that the Celeron 3930 still uses 2133 MHz speed for the Memory… I thought all Gen7 used now 2300). I have “only” four GTX 1060 cards in it (it allows 13 GPUs combining NVidia and AMD due to driver limitations of maxiumum GPUs in one Motherboard) and NO failures at all.

So, 3 weeks mining without stopping one second, and now that ZCash again went to US$300 I am so happy. My last wishes are that ZCash goes to $10,000 before Bitcoin does and that I had lower energy rate (or free solar / wind panels!).

Good excuse the ignorance but how do you have the consumption in EWBF.

I had some stability issues. The windows 7 froze after a few hours.
It seems to be (the settings for) the 1060 3GB Hynix Zotac were too efficient overclockings. 290 Sol/s @ 3.35 Sol/w seems OK now with DSTM. It took me a while to find out…

My new Palit Micron 1070 does now 495 @ 4.05. Not a very big difference to 1070 Ti it seems. But allmost double the efficiency compared to the 900’s @ ~2.3 Sol/w

btw: there is a new 0.3.4c BTG (?) version. Anyone tried yet this version yet? It says there might be a virus included.

why BTG version? I mined BTG with same miners as ZCASH.

I’m seeing the same issue. I’ve been running 1070’s at 450 sols for a while, I got some 1080s thinking my sol rate would shoot right up, but it’s only 500 to 520.

The 1080 Ti’s are where you’ll see a higher Sol rate. The regular 1080’s are not worth bothering with. 1080 Ti’s do around 720 Sol/s.

However, a big factor is the power consumption. To achieve 720 Sol you need 230-250W while to achieve 520 Sol you use 160W. If power is not a factor, the 1060 is actually the best return ($200 for 300 Sol) but if you factor the Motherboard and Rig components and the Power Comsumption, I think 1080 is a good option.

What are you smoking?

70%tdp (200w) gives me 715

Thanks!
Pls put more feature when miner still run but some thing is wrong cause hashrate = 0, we need restart miner!

my rig is fastest create new work :slight_smile: with GTX 1060 3GB AMP Edition!

try to use newer version of this miner

very nice

here is mine (1060-6GB)

did you do overclocking?
