NiceHash EQM Zcash NVIDIA optimized miner [Maxwell + Pascal @ Win + Linux] + CPU Mining [v1.0.4c] 400 Sol/s @GTX 1070 (stock)

For 1050 Ti how much H/s do u reach?

Titan X Pascal is now hitting 430 sol/s nice job guys

I’m getting 333 Sol/s on ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo with OC. Using EWBF I was getting 220 Sol/s. Should I keep using this one?

Keep this one. I have one question.
Are you getting 333 sol/s in the dosbox or on the website?
I get max 295 in the dosbox on a evga 1070 SC.

Would you like to share your command?

630 Sols from 2x stock G1 1070 GTX’s nice performance boost :slight_smile:

Same here, never seen great sol rate on my 1070, using 2 threads now and only 250 sol

ASUS Strix 1070

With CPU+GPU mining seeing tons of duplicate shares

Imgur

Gone down to 305 after a GPU crash. It was at 333-335. How do I show my command? From .bat file?

To all people having issues; you are most likely doing something with with the config. NEVER use more than two threads/instances per device - it will not give you more speed. So you either do ‘-ca -ca’ OR you do ‘-cd 0 0 1 1 …’ YOU DO NOT DO BOTH Some people go with like tens of threads and run out of available resources (breaching max 256 threads) thus getting duplicated shares. So… don’t use so many threads.

But DO USE 2 THREADS which is the same as running two instances of EQM, but in a single application.

There were also questions about monitoring per device speeds, you can do that by adding ‘-d 0’ cmdline parameter.

And you can learn all about parameters if starting EQM with -h:

CPU settings
        -p [num_cpus]   Number of physical CPUs
        -t [num_thrds]  Number of threads per CPU
        -e [ext]        Force CPU ext
                        (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)

NVIDIA CUDA settings
        -ci             CUDA info
        -cd [devices]   Enable CUDA mining on devices
        -ca             Enable mining on all devices
        -cm [mode]      Working mode (1, 2, 3 or 4, 0 = auto)
Example: -cd 0 2 -cm 0 1
Specify same device multiple times to run multiple instances

Also check for your core and mem freq. NVIDIA drivers have this issue (bug?) - if you have some application open (like chrome) it may reduce core freq down (back to stock clock without boost), eq from like 1900 to 1600. This will of course drop performance. So really, monitor your clocks - if clock is low, your performance will be low.

Quit and restarted miner, set GPU back to Custom OC. Back to 335 again.

Yes please from the bat file. You can remove your btc address.

380 sol/s compared to 266 sol/s on EWBF’s
GTX 1070 - cd 0 0 | 2150/4400 Mhz

12h average, around 1820sols for 5x GTX 1070 (nicehash dasboard)
good work guys :wink: @kenshirothefist

Win 10 (1607) + latest drivers + Afterburner - no special setup, bios, etc

:: number of CPU threads, 0 disables CPU mining
SET CPU_THREADS=0

:: eu usa hk jp
SET LOCATION=usa

eqm -t %CPU_THREADS% -l %LOCATION% -u %BTCADDR% -w %WORKER% -ca -ca

Thanks for that last note, I was troubleshooting and yes something was kicking down the core.

Here is a new version of ASUS Tweak which seems to have helped me so far keep it locked.

Same as mine. I think it is a driver issue then.

Version 1.0.3b with fixed CPU mining and a minor fix for Ubuntu16:

DOWNLOAD WINDOWS version (Windows 7+)

DOWNLOAD Linux Ubuntu 14.04 version

DOWNLOAD Linux Ubuntu 16.04 version

Thanks keep up the good work

wow, this explains the recent jump in network hashrate…

I allocated 2/4 cores for mining but I keep getting this along warning.

Let’s see NiceHash EQM v1.0.3b Zcash Miner:

Please reevaluate NiceHash EQM v1.0.3b Zcash Miner if you believe EWBF v0.0.4b is faster. It’s not and it draws a lot more power.

Some of us don’t want to mine to btc, but instead mine and hold zec. I guess the other option is to use the btc to buy zec…
