Hi @Claymore,
Very happy with your mining program thus far, thanks for the continual updates and your contribution. I have a question for you.
I have two cards;
MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X - [24-25 mh/s]
MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X+ (with 9gbps ram) - [20-21 mh/s]
Any idea why the 9gbps card would perform slower? Any plans to optimize this? I know there are a lot of us out there with the 9 gbps cards, so it would certainly be beneficial to us all.
Thanks,
Daniel
Claymore's Dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner.
=========================
Latest version is v9.7:
- Added ASM mode for RX460/560 cards, up to 30% speedup for second coin in dual mode.
- Improved ETH speed for some Nvidia cards.
- Improved speed in dual mode for Nvidia cards.
- reduced initialization time.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.
- EthMan: added ability to select several rigs.
- EthMan: several minor bug fixes and improvements.
And short answer is (which also applies to gtx1080 , gddr5X card) :
GDDR5X memory have GOOD throughput (which makes it fine for zCash),
but very BAD latency, which also makes it BAD for ETHereum minig.
I doubt ANY software optimizations could be made regarding GDDR5X cards and ETH,
so ... just avoid them, unless you planned to mine zCash.
p.s. You caould also make zCash test, i am also curious if you gain some speed on gddr5X card vs "normal" one.
b.r.
