Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]
AMD also got a significant boost in nist5 with the 14.6beta drivers as well. Not as significant as ccminer v1.1, but still pretty good.
That info is around for a while but not a lot of people are willing to upgrade, because with 14.6 everything else is broken, except groestl and nist5 (some minor algos more which I don't remember).
Don't feel to bad for the AMD users. They have a couple profitable algos that we don't have yet for nVidia like CryptoNight.
CryptoNight for GPU is not profitable as others algos. The only profitable cryptonight miner now is in hand of Christian, which he doesn't publish yet.
And I don't think of many profitable algos for AMD which we don't have. Could you elaborate ?
yes but everyone else has it now, so it's pointless, you just consume 10% more
No I don't think so. The majority of TAC miners are still AMD users. I know some monsters at the pools (over 600Mhs NIST5) and they are all AMDs. Those monsters are made up 30% of total nethash already.
(as it is the case for groestl)
But as long as cg/sgminer/claymore dev will continue playing with old versions of the driver (and say the new one is broken) it won't happen
