NVIDIA GTX 970 = 50 Sol/s

What is your idea of a ‘PCIE2.0 x1’ … some people have different idea’s on those risers.

That is what most farms run over risers. A gamer pc for example has GPU connected via PCIE3.0 x16 these days.

You sure its PCEI 2.0 and not 1.0?

How did you read link speed?

Ah like that, i was thinking either in:

  • The PCI-e mode in the BIOS (which can be set to the protocol level 1, 2 or 3.0)
  • The PCI-e risor (active plate) itself, e.g. USB riser vs ribbon riser

So hence the question. But you’r just using the normal x1 slot with any riser.

BTW: gamers running SLI would be on X8 (or even X4) so not all are on X16 :wink:

Also, are we there yet? (release?)

GTX 750 Ti gets 20 Sol/s

Unfortunately, older cards (not compute 5.0 or above) will not work.

so why not publish? or is @nicehashdev account hacked by @djezo and we;re being trolled again?

I have my 970 and 1070 on PCIe 16x, (with 16x risers) so I will give you some feedback when you release this miner (in linux). But figures are promising

I dont think so :D. …

Nicehash has been around the community for some time and are a reputable company (depending on what you think of their services). There is no way they’d advertise it here and then not release it.

That aside, kinda silly some of you guys don’t know what PCIE lanes are. Just plug in the j-pu-s and let her run, right? You can find out status like that with GPU-Z. Not all boards support 3.0, even on the newest boards some slots will still be 2.0, which is why Nicehash was commenting specifically on 2.0 x1 as it’s the most common configuration for miners. This is the first time where I’ve seen PCIE lanes actually being a bottleneck for mining though.

On that note, would more lane bandwidth increase hashrates?

If you invest in the right mainboard you will not have any issue.Also the right riser are important.
Many people save in the wrong way.

E.g my miners are all having: EVGA X99 FTW-K having 5x PCIe 16x slots (8x/8x/8x/8x/8x) and a Asus X99 WS with 7 slots doing (16x/8x/8x/8x/8x/8x/8x) and as riser i use either the 16x or Asrock BTC Kit …no issues.

Never save on the proper hardware! It pays 5 times as I have seen my friend used cheap riser and lost his complete system and was also close to burn his office…

980ti? should get near 980 ot 1070?

any plan to ameliorate cpu miner ? Thanks

Buying $200 boards is a silly waste of money. This is the only usage scenario I’ve seen in the years mining Cryptos where PCIE bandwidth has become a concern and it was already averted.

This is great news for nvidia community. I’m sure there are still optimizations possible for pascal series.

Given the issues we have seen its not senseless…
Next you say going to a doc for annual checkup is senseless too…

are we there yet?

Nope we have to wait waitwait…

testing a soft takes time, Let them brief.

testing can be done by everyone + proofing its real + extra bug reports , etc

Anyway, Thanks very much in advance for @nicehashdev, any support I could help please let us know, appreciate that
