Hello, I believe I found a regression that explains why my 1060s were running slower on newest versions.

Two of my cards have poor thermal performance and run hot. I have noticed that on one of my rigs MiniZ runs the hot cards in a different algorithm configuration (the vram usage is higher and the wattage is lower). However, in the other of my rigs, it runs the wrong card in this "hot mode".

If I am correct in understanding how MiniZ works, on this rig my hot card is getting thermally limited by the drivers (and running unoptimally) while simultaniously a cool card is getting limited by MiniZ, running unnecessarily low wattage.

Hope this helps

Hi 1ncehost,
sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for letting us know.

miniZ requires 2.7Gb of memory to run at full speed, but on Windows the cards may run sub-optimally (specially the 3Gb cards, which are close to the limit value) because the OS drivers consume more memory. If this happens miniZ runs a different mode (usually mode 2 for GTX 1060 3GB). This problem should not happen in Linux.

Cheers

For your reference, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 systems with CUDA 10.

Hi 1ncehost,

Thank you for the feedback.
Check the new version v1.0j! Check also cuda 8.0 variant.
If you can, do let us know if the new v1.0j resolves the problem.

Cheers
