will be doing a 1080 ti rig

1 card is on order.

I will post photos and results on weekend .

I hope as parts are not in.

Great, will be eagerly waiting for the reports

. I plan to buy 1080ti for testing as well, but I am waiting for the EVGA one with three fans since it looks so cool! Cheesy

Great idea and successful execution so that everything turned out and our esteemed developer to be able to adapt his algorithm to the new card as best as possible! All the maximum profit!

hash rate is very high on the 1080ti but it may be a bit power hungry compared to the 1080 or the 1070

I am looking forward to running my build if I get 3.5 sols It is better then my amd cards are for zec.

as they get 2 sols per watt.

it would allow me to mine nvidia @ zec and amd @ eth

philip, highest efficiency is 4x1080Ti giving 2250 sol/s at 600 W (wall) - that is 3.75 sol/W (real, not what SMI shows - these values are 20% less).

1080 Ti are the fastest and the most efficient cards on the market. AMD will not reach that for another 3 years.

my build will be 2 1080 ti with 1 zotac 1080 mini
I have this empty board.

it is a biostar z170

goal would be 610 + 610 + 480 = 1700 at 540-575 watts

The card (Zotac 1060 6gb mini) is probably locked, darn it.

You can OC these cards using nvOC. I run multiple Zotac 1060 6gb mini 6x rigs with 100 powerlimit 150 cc and 600 mc for ~1900 sol/s poolside using 670 watts.

Cool...thanks, i might try it.
Why a need to connect monitor to the second card, specifically, if I understood it correctly?

I have inno3d mini 1060 and I have a lot of problem with temp. What about Zotac? Your "farm" is in a cold place?

Anyone tried the new Razers on mining a new gpu coin?

I think if you could get couple of those you could mine the very first blocks of any new coin, getting to a level of early bird which would help your income a lot when it hits exchanges.

(further quotes SNIPPed, see #2032)

while i agree with all of the supplied information about OC-ing nvidia-cards under linux i just found my system (GTX970 + GTX980) to be stuck in performance-level 2 (out of a range of 0 - 3) and ignoring GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset -commands.

running

Code:

nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes

confirms that memTransferRateeditable=0 and memclockeditable=0 for perf < 3 for my GTX980 and =0 in all perf-levels for my GTX970.

i'm not sure about the GTX970 but i am somewhat confident that i've set a custom GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset on the GTX980 in the past but cannot remember how.
can anybody hint me to what i might need to do to enable/set performance-level 3 on my cards?

many thanks in advance,
painmaker

For performance mode

Code:

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1

Valid values for 'GPUPowerMizerMode' are: 0, 1 and 2.

If you have many cards replace [gpu:0] with [gpu:N]

sorry to bring this up again, didn't have the time to fully test this out earlier but it looks like my problem of being stuck in perf-level 2 of 3 (and therefore unable to adjust fan/gutRates/memoryRates) as soon as i put some decent work on my GPUs still hasn't been solved. Sad

just to be sure, is anyone running a setup similar to mine who is able to OC (all) the nvidia-cards present in the system? here are some specs:
- debian 8
- nvidia-driver 375.39 and 378.13 (dkms-install)
- cuda 8.0.44 installed (without driver)
- gtx980 + gtx970
- aiming for multi-user.target (running no X-server), but problem also present when in graphical.target (=desktop-mode)
- in xorg.conf, option CoolBits is set to 12, RegistryDwords set to 'PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefault=0x1'

if there is someone with a roughly similar setup that allows OCing, what did you do to get there?

btw, here's another thread mentioning some nvidia OC steps for linux. sounds like its also recommending using ubuntu (16.04 in this case). Huh

EDIT: might take a look at fullzeros nvOC which looks promising...

EWBF,

Will it be possible to add another switch under --eexit?
Like, exit the miner if total speed reaches 0 sol/s.

Quote from: bughatti on March 29, 2017, 02:50:27 AM

I second this, I will run for a good 2 days and then start hashing 0. For me I don't think it is OC issues cause I already had to go down from when I ran 3b. 3b was the most stable at highest clocks. I dont mind the lower clocks but frustrated with the stability issue so having a command to restart the miner if it reaches 0 would be great.

Yes, but i think it's better to fix this. On the side of the pool speed also falls? And can you show the log file?

Everything falls to 0 sol/sec after 3~5 minutes for some reason.
Here is the log. I'm not sure how much of anything this yields.

@k0stas: thanks for your reply!
done as you told (changed per default to graphical.target to make sure nvidia-settings has some Xserver), noticed fans still in auto-mode right after startup, found that powermizer still goes back to perfLevel 2 right after launching ewbf.
any other ideas?
can you post some config-specs of your system (OS, driver, ...)?

cheers, pm

EDIT: btw, i think --cool-bits=12 ( =4+8 ) really should suffice as bit5 ( =16 ) seems to enable voltage offsets; AFAIK bit4 ( =8 ) enables freq-adjusts and bit3 ( =4 ) enables fan-control.

That is very high efficiency for a 1080 at 65% power. I peak at 3.7 if I move the power there and I got full memory OC and a fair core OC. I need to drop to 55% for that efficiency you got. Is that your best card?

It is a1080 ti

Back to this software. I am up and running my first nvidia miner.

I loaded nvidia 378.78 driver

and 3.3b of this software

and windows 7 pro

it is this single card

mini sized zotac 1080 just came in

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381941454927?

short small lightweight only has a 8 pin for power.

here it is in red at nicehash

EDIT: might take a look at fullzeros nvOC which looks promising...

so i tried fullzeros nvOC which is basically an ubuntu 16.04 image with autologin automatically starting a terminal-window which per default runs a shellscript that does the magic. nice idea, quite convenient to use but sadly, no overclocking possible with this as well as my cards go straight to perfLevel2 after launching a miner (tried several, behaviour is all the same) :/

so it seems not to be an issue of the OS itself neither the configuration as i suspect fullzero is able to adjust clocks when running nvOC.
then it might be a matter of a certain card-bios behaviour? whats odd is that i have two different cards in my system from different vendors/manufacturers.
the gtx 980 is a rather sh***y one from Inno3d (HerculeZ X3 Air Boss), the gtx 970 is an asus strix oc one which seems to be of decent quality.
both cards show the same behaviour with being stuck in performance level 2 when under load thux loosing their OC-setting and failing on re-setting it while not in perfLevel 3 (read-only in pl2).
wondering that i haven't come across more ppl with the same issue, might not appear when running windows possibly...

Hello! I'm very comfortable with the log file with the parameter --log 1, look for errors, but in this mode there is no date and time errors - can this be fixed?
