Re: miniZ, fast & friendly Equihash 144,5 150,5,3 125,4 192,7 210,9 150,5 96,5 miner
Hi cryptoyes,
sorry, the driver version is 440.64.
miniZ Cuda 10.0, Linux kernel 5.4.0-37-generic and cpu Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4560 @ 3.50GHz. We can only test up to 5 GPUs so it is hard to fully test with higher GPU load.
However, from what you described it really looks like that it could be the oc settings causing the driver to misbehave. Also, each miner may require different OCs settings since the kernels are different and exploit the GPU in different ways.
Have you had the chance to observe the same problem with miniZ on other algos?
Having said this, we will keep looking into it and we will do our best to replicate/fix/understand all the issues that everyone reports, the one you described is obviously something we'll keep an eye on. Even now that you said you managed to get it to work by increasing PL.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Cheers

Only the 1080ti work better as I could increase the PL. The 1070s are still hanging everything and they are at max PL -- I already tried stock settings. Gminer is definitely doing something better than miniZ given the problem doesn't exist and it also hashes faster. I met this problem on quite a few miners (even Gminer at first, he fixed it in the meantime) ... it's always because of inefficient use of CUDA calls which end up hogging the driver unnecessarily, being amplified by the number of GPUs.
At 5 GPUs you're mostly going to be ok. 7+ and you need to be increasingly careful.
I only used miniZ on 150,5 because Gminer's devfee pools choked and killed mining (so in that regard you've already beaten Gminer
)
