Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.8 (Windows/Linux)

IMPRESSIVE--

Thanks for the post! NVidia cards work well with higher "-dcri" values. But, Maxwell (900 series) cards are likely to reach maximum performance at a much lower "-dcri" value than 500. A setting of "-dcri 75" is a good place to start for Maxwell cards.

You're welcome Wink

Radeon 4xx and 5xx cards, 1060 and 1070 cards all have core power more "in tune" with their GDDR5 memory speeds for ETH mining, so there is not much core power headroom left for second coin in dual mining mode. But, 1080 have plenty of core power left so the second coin can be mined very fast Cheesy

Full -dcri 500 can be utilised and probably more Wink

Somebody with a 1080Ti card could do a few test and see what is happening with -dcri value in ETH + LBRY dual mode. Chances are that card could also mine second coin very fast Wink

Have you tried ZEC? Because from what you are talking, since they aren't balanced (memory/core) like amd and lower nvidia cards, would be interesting to test them on a mining process that requires both memory and core power. Using higher than 8 intensity would be also nice (dunno if this is possible).

YES, I MINE ZEC--

But in order to get truly rewarding secondary coin hash rates Maxwell series cards require a high "-dcri" setting. A miner should adjust from a setting of "-dcri 75" as a starting point, as it will double the secondary coin hash rate compared to the default value. ZEC mining is another miner, a single algo miner.

Right now I have several cards on the shelf. AMD cards are in short supply, and I may put my 970 cards into a rig again soon. --scryptr

I'm mining ZEC with my R7 370s, i don't find ETH worth with them.
