I am unfamiliar with Zen Controller so this may not apply, but I recall someone posting before that there is a glitch where the miner reports a theoretical hash rate instead of the actual hash rate. You may want to check the speed that is being reported poolside.

I can't get above 87% efficiency with nvMiner on doom with 750 ti's.

I've tried creating a loop.bat with a killtimer of 60, and I still get around 95%.  Keep in mind that the cards are not overclocked.  Anyone have any ideas?

no but can i see your bat restart i cant get one going   please  Smiley
EDIT:i definitely need a bat restart on this coin

Here's one that was posted on cryptomining blog a few weeks ago. Might be overly elaborate for some, but gets the job done.

Code:
@echo off
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Simple script to restart your miner software after a period of time
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo:
set executable=ccminer.exe
set commandline=-q -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://pool -u user -p pass
set runforseconds=7200
set restartinseconds=10
set /a counter=0
:start
start "Miner Window" %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds
timeout %runforseconds%
taskkill /f /im %executable%
echo:
echo Restarting the software in %restartinseconds% seconds (%counter%)
timeout %restartinseconds%
set /a counter+=1
echo:
echo:
goto start

The main GPU is not working at 100%, what can be done?

You are clearly using that GPU while mining so the hash-rate drops. A stated above, use the onboard graphics.

As a side note, I am getting lower hash-rates and up to this day no one has been able to help me. Basically I am getting ~300Kh less on every card.


Are you overclocking? I get similar results with stock cards (assuming x11).

I'm using this Mod v1.02-X13-version - 12/06/2014 she works for x11 x13 and x11 doing more in 2.200k / s

I can't recall if v1.02 contains the improved groestl implementation. Give v1.2 a try and you might see an improvement with both x11 and x13.

Did you read the OP message?

Installation requirements:
- a recent nVidia driver supporting at least CUDA 5.5
- Visual Studio 2010 SP1 redistributable (redist). Install when MSVCR100.DLL is not found.
  http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=8328  (x86)
  http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=13523  (x64)

Install both of them and it should work for you.  If not reboot and try again.

Carlo

It worked thank you friend.

Another question as I leave in EVGAPrecisionX min to make overclocking the card and a evga 750ti SC, as I leave the over clock?

Here is giving 2,200 K / s to do to reach the 2,700 k / s x11

Which version are you using? 1.1 and above should have the "enhanced" x11 implementation. I believe 1.2 should have both x13 and the enhanced x11. nvMiner should have it all but I have never used it so can't say for sure.

Something doesn't feel right Tongue Any nvidia miner who thinks he got it working seeing this too on HashHarder?


Having the same problem with HH. Accepted shares but poolside hashrate is low. Switched over to Suprnova until HH works out the issue.

Re: does anyone have cgminer reporting hash rates properly with gs blades

Are you running the cgminer that has been optimized for use with blades? The posting linked below indicates that some people were having issues with cgminer reporting the wrong hashrate with blades.

That is pretty much what I have, although mine is clocked lower. My cgminer reports 2.722M per blade, which is also reflected in the stats at the pool I mine at.

--gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=40,modules=1,usefifo=0

Have you tried pointing it at a pool and seeing what their stats report?

You never mentioned which card you have, but you can see if it is listed in the link below and if others are getting similar results.

I see . So what mining software do you recommend me to use with clevermining?

2 things to check:
1. GUIminer itself was not designed for scrypt coins. Ensure that you are using GUIminer-scrypt.
2. As Terk mentioned, make sure you are using the stratum protocol. There is an option in GUIminer-scrypt to set that.

Re: connect a PCI-E GPU via USB?
by
DiggerPhil
on 21/04/2014, 06:22:27 UTC
I've run into an issue, in my 7x GPU rig (yes, for mining), where the 7th card connected to my motherboard (Z87-G45) cannot be used due to "code 12: not enough free resources." If I can somehow run this GPU off of USB or another non-PCI-e interface, this should solve this problem.

I use USB to PCI-e risers, like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=392536

It connects to the GPU via PCI-e, but theoretically I could plug the other end directly into a USB port, while giving the card power as usual via SATA. Could this work, and would the PC recognize it? Thought I'd ask before I tried and fried something.

Thanks

Don't do it. While a USB cable is used, the signals sent through the cable are not compatible. At best it wouldn't work, at worst you fry something.

Re: The problem with performance 280x cards
by
DiggerPhil
on 14/04/2014, 23:56:32 UTC
Each 280X requires around 250-300 watts of power. At 12V, this is 20-25A per card. Based on your power supply specs, none of the 12V rails can supply that much power. You haven't indicated how you have the power connectors connected, but to ensure that the maximum amount of power is available from each 12V rail, you could try using molex-to-pcie or sata-to-pcie connectors on as many different separate cables as there are coming out of the power supply. Unfortunately, it appears this power supply was designed to provide power to power-hungry CPU's as opposed to GPU's, so this still may not work.

The ideal solution would be to get a different power supply that has 12V rails capable of providing 25-30A each, or has a single 12V rail that can provide at least 60A. You could also try undervolting the cards to use less power.
