Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

Can someone share the OC settings for GTX 1080 OC 8GB (non TI), please?

These are my OC settings for nvOC:

POWERLIMIT="NO"
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=275
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600
FAN_SPEED=100

The card gets heated: 82 C (stays there 24/7 consistently)

With the above OC settings, I get 315-330 MH/s on LBC and 495-505 Sol/s on ZEC.

With the same OC settings as on nvOC, Windows 10 is able to get 345-365 MH/s on LBC and 545-565 Sol/s on ZEC with temperature not going over 79 C. I used MSI Afterburner on Windows.

Any ideas?

Well, in nvOC (Linux) the OC is different. So you might want to up your mem OC quite a bit.

As written before by fullzero:
Powerlimits in windows are in percent TDP; in linux they are in watts. Thus a powerlimit of 70 in windows is .7 * 120 watts or whatever the TDP is (84 watts if the card TDP is 120); while 70 in linux is 70 watts. I would recommend comparing Windows and linux powerlimits with a kill-a-watt to get them exactly equal; but most likely a 3gb 1060 has a 120 or 125 watt TDP.

Also linux OC offsets are scaled differently than windows; you will need to use higher offsets to get the same results in linux.

Thanks.

How about setting the temperature limit? In MSI Afterburner, I was able to set the temperature limit as well. I've been using Windows so far, so please don't mind my questions.

@fullzero, cheers for creating nvOC and sharing. You gotta start charging

As far as I know, there is no option in Linux / Nvidia drivers to set a max temp. It can be done in EWBF miner, but that would mean it will idle the card until below threshold. You could limit your power to reach the desired temp, but that's not quite the same.

Thanks for helping Maxximus007
