Re: [ANN] AEON 2nd gen cryptonote, anon, mobile-friendly, scalable, pruning

Thanks for the feedback jwinterm. I know that most up-to-date ccminer forks are built with static libraries (so separate dll's are not required), but the cryptonight base from which .....

Working now myagui. Turns out I have cuda5.5, and both versions work, so I guess it was just the missing dll. I'm getting much lower hashrate on that windows computer though, around 250 h/s per 750ti, compared to about 425 h/s per card on ubuntu machine. So, don't know if that's cause I need to update cuda, or just cause windows sucks, but, anyway, it's working now

I have similar deficiencies on certain comps running my 750ti's. Not absolutely positive but I believe it boils down to the architecture of the machine and/or bios. Bios update risk not worth the reward. ...I know this btw because I have swapped 3 different ti's between about 5 different machines and then played musical chairs with them and the deficiencies persisted among the mobo/processor/bios architectures and not the variations in cards or software. ....not likely your fault

Thank you both for the inputs.

I would bet on something specific to that Windows setup as fault for the low speed, if not the dreaded "operator error" Grin

since that Windows hashrate sounds about right for regular cryptonight (as in missing the -A switch). Linux does generally better on the same hardware, that's for sure, and more so with any algorithm that is memory hard, where the Windows (WDDM) driver overhead really bogs down the performance.

Well, could also be that your Windows launch settings (threads & blocks) were not optimal. While on Linux, sub-optimal launch settings go partly unnoticed due to the comparative hashrate boost from Linux vs Windows. On Windows, less-than-perfect settings will cause much more of a performance hit.

I don't have the proper launch settings for the 750TI myself though, don't have those cards anymore. I do have reports of cryptonight-light performance in the region of 500 h/s on these cards, even on Windows. Note that both cryptonight & cryptonight-light allow for massive overclocks on the 750 TI, seeing as the GPU is hardly stressed at all.
