Miner- CUDA Equihash (with devfee)

Windows updated and rebooted the machine… the 1050 ti came backup and is now sitting at 22sols.
1080 is still 66’ish.

I’m getting better overall sols running each GPU on its own (multiple windows mining)
Has anyone else found this? Maybe I had a parameter wrong when I tried the multigpu command… I’ll try it again.

A few questions.

Can this mine to almost any pool?

I have the command script set up as: “zcminer.exe -l us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1bDkt9dTrQamSMjnak7ad9V8GLUd38aURu.rolloZCminer” Any obvious issues with this? Seems to work and show 59 sol/s.

Can this be run in parallel with separate Nicehash miner mining from the CPU?

If someone want test silentarmy ported to cuda on windows (what work the same speed as zcminer, not using any cpu and no dev fee) then go to : Releases · maztheman/nheqminer · GitHub (remeber about -cs, -cb, -ct options)

tried the one recommended for 10 series and it crashes. I’ll look more into it tomorrow.

-cs option - 30 s/s on 1070
what’s the best -cb and -ct?
also pls remove spam messages smth like “cuda solved 0”

You need experiment with values, try 128/64 or 64/64 or others

-cs -cb 64 -ct 128 - 33s/s on 1070

not good with -cb 128 -ct 64 i get 38 sol/s on gtx980 , 1070 should be faster (but someone said -cb 90 -ct 32 for 1070)

With this miner running a Titan X Pascal i am running 72sol/s with the low cpu and 75sol/s with the standard

I’m getting 70 Sols/s with my GTX 1080. It’s a little bit overclocked though currently running the Core clock at 2076 and Memory at 5006. I haven’t tried overclocking more.

I’m using the default version, haven’t tried the low CPU version. Also mining with an i5-6600k (4.5GHz) for another 25 Sols/s.

Hi all!

@Jiggytom
230 sol/s seems very good for 4x1070s. Looks like the low cpu version works well for you.

@topgeek
Interesting you seem to get better performance when running each gpu on it’s on. Did you check if the thread number per GPU is identical (displayed at the beginning when the miner starts)?

@ROLLOTOMASI
The miner should work at most pools… just check if the shares are accepted, then it should be fine.
It can be run in parallel with a cpu miner. You might want to set the CPU miner to a lower priority. And also try out the low-cpu version of this miner.

@Holy
The TitanX Pascal is a lot faster than the GTX1070, so I would have expected more sol/s. Did you try both versions?

@nu1mlock
70 Sol/s sound good for a GTX1080. The low cpu version can allow more sol/s on the cpu miner, but for some people it has worse performance on gpu.

So far i have just seen sometimes some problems with extrnounces but the low cpu version runs now since last night…stable and fast.

Any roadmap for today?

i7-6950x + 2*1070 = 187 Sol/s

The new nicehash miner is out…and it happened what i predicted.
@Bensam123 you see what happens we are now stick to one pool and direct convert to btc we can not mine zcash…so they dictate now the rules this is really what you were calling for yesterday?

Their current version has less performance than zcminer anyway so there’s no reason to use it at all. I’m using zcminer to mine to their pool anyway.

@nu1mlock Yes you are right the performance is same for me too…if i take into measure that i added already CPU its not faster but slower.

So @zcminer-dev what the release map :smiley: roadmap saying for todays nvidia fanboys

Can you please release an updated version for Linux as well?

What’s slower? I get 70 Sols/s with my GTX 1080 and another 25 with my i5-6600k. I still get 25 Sols/s from my CPU regardless of GPU miner.

Bottom line is that I get 10+ more Sols/s from zcminer than Nicehash’s new miner, regardless of CPU miner.

Here u have the freedom of choice for pool :smiley:
