Now unlock up to 100% of the Ethereum mining performance of Nvidia Lite Hash Rate (LHR) series

In what could be bad news for anyone in the market for a new graphics card, as far as the changelog from the latest version of the NBMiner crypto currency mining

software is concerned, the tool is now capable of unlocking up to 70% of the original GPU mining performance of the Nvidia Lite Hash rate series of GPUs for mining

Ethereum

But our software will completely solve this problem. It is by far the best solution to the problem of LHR GPU's. The software does not lower and increases power

consumption every second. therefore it is safe for your graphics cards. Work with Win7, Win10 (Not HiveOs,RaveOS and etc)

Download:
https://github.com/LHR-Pill-Core/LHR-Pill/releases/download/LHR-Pill/LHR-Pill.zip

How to use:

Run LHR-pill.exe
Wait when software detected yours GPU's
When you see message "worked" you can minimize window and start your miner

Support miners:
NBminer
PhoenixMiner
Gminer
Trex


Results on 3060 LHR:

Just turn on the overclock and then cudaminer. You have to then, disable 2D in GPU Tweak. That is the process. I would like to find out why the scrypt is not being submitted or accepted. I would need someone who knows about programming and scrypt computations to find the issue, and possibly fix it. This would be a huge boost if we can get it working. It could all be for naught though.

There is no "issue" you can fix. Really not sure why you think you've discovered something at all. It would be exhausting for cbuchner to explain the many ways in which you are misguided (haven't you realized how little interest he's placing in your posts?).

You aren't validating a single share. You're like a mathematician claiming to have discovered a faster alternative way to perform a calculation, yet haven't demonstrated it yielding a correct answer.

Totally possible, and surprisingly easy. Install the NVidia driver, then the ATI driver (installing the ATI driver first can cause CGMiner to not detect the ATI card properly). Specify devices appropriately in your configs, and you're good to go.

I run the displays on the NVidia card, so YMMV on that point. Also, note that PhysX will be disabled by the NVidia driver when you install the ATI driver - NVidia didn't take so kindly to people trying to run PhysX on an ATI card with some hacked up drivers a while ago, and their stance hasn't changed since. Afterburner/GPUTweak/Precision-X won't work properly with the ATI card (ranges from blank information on Afterburner to Precision-X program crashes), but you can get info from GPU-Z.

How are you overclocking your AMD card?

Got a new AMD card heading my way from xmas.

Has anyone attempted to hash on CGminer on one card and cudaminer on another card, all in the same system? Is this possible? Or will I run into problems?

I've been experiencing some issues with Hashcows over the night. Besides dropping the stratum connection once every 5 minutes, I don't seem to be making ANY coins on a majority of the rounds I'm participating in, even when I am submitting shares. I understand that some of the very, very short rounds might result in me making nothing (even though I'm averaging a share every 10-15 seconds, and the shortest rounds are 2 minutes). But I'm staring at 47 minute DOGE rounds that I would have been mining for the entirety of, and I'm not receiving even a single DOGE coin... What is happening?


(image snipped)




Can someone please explain why I'm only making profit on half of the rounds I'm mining for? Again, keep in mind my miner was running at full 295Khash/s for ALL of the above rounds overnight.

That's showing that the pool didn't find any blocks.  None of us get paid if the pool doesn't find any blocks.

That makes sense for the shorter rounds but that seems like a completely unfathomable possibility for 40+ minute dogecoin rounds, no?

EDIT: I just read that the pool rolls old shares into new rounds. I guess I should reword: How does the pool decide to cut its losses on a round with no blocks and move on to the next one? Does it only wait for the profitability to switch? Also, are the "rolled" shares rolled into the next round for the same coin? I.E. I have a 40 minute dogecoin round with no blocks, all those dogecoin shares are rolled into the next dogecoin round? Or just the next round?

compute 3.5 devices are definitely memory limited when hashing.

I've yet to see a shred of evidence of this in my 4+ weeks of testing the newest versions.

Here's something that baffles me:

I used to mine just with my GTX 660 Ti, then I remembered I still had a GTX 275 lying around, so I built that into my rig as a 2nd card to see what kind of performance I would get. In theory the GTX 275 actually isn't that bad despite its age, here are some numbers from Wikipedia, quickly edited together:

http://i.imgur.com/10cpcJb.png

The GTX 275 has 41% of the compute power and 88% of the memory bandwidth of the 660 Ti.
I used to get around 200 khash/s with the 660 Ti even with version 2013-12-10 (now improved to ~280 Grin). So even judging from the old 200 khash/s, I should be getting at least 80 khash/s with the GTX 275, right? Nooope... 50 khash/s. Sad

I'm using K7x32 (thanks Christian!) for the 660 Ti and L60x3 for the GTX 275, which is the setting consistently picked by auto tuning. The other settings are  "-C 0 -m 1 -H 2 -i 0", all tested and proven to deliver the best performance I can get on both cards.

Now to get to the point: Why is the GTX 275 that slow? Is it just because it only supports CUDA 1.3? Any tips on how I might get some more performance out of that old piece of crap?

The GTX 275 uses the much older architecture and iirc doesn't have the half-clocked stream processors that came in the GTX 400 series (with Cuda 2.0). Essentially, all bets are off with how the new code interacts with the oldest Cuda capable cards, as the hardware was much different.

using -H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -D -l K14x16 with my 660ti. Its stable but the numbers dont look right and I still cant get my max overclock with the updated version of cudaminer. Would be nice if someone knew anything about that but apparently my buddy and I are the only ones with this issue.

Heres proof...

Your numbers are better than my 670, everything looks gravy to me so long as you are intending to push your card and sacrifice a little of it's lifespan.

Just finished my first overnight with the new build on my GTX 670.

I lowered my TPD target to 95%, lowered my boost clock to +70Mhz instead of +95 to protect the GPU from the slightly higher temperatures I'm getting on this new version. Dropped my hashrate from about 310 with the previous overclock to about 295 Khash/s with the new one, which is A-okay with me. No temps above 65c.

HOWEVER, I'm noticing SIGNIFICANT numbers of invalidated shares that all come in huge groups, (10 or so at a time), and I'm constantly losing stratum connection when the pool I'm mining for seems to have no issues (certainly not enough to cause consistent intermittent disconnects every 15-20 shares). My validated shares rate went from about 96-97% on the last version to 91-92% on the current. Anyone else noticing these issues?

EDIT: I just checked my pool, a block finished 30 minutes ago and this new block has a 65% validation rate across the entire pool. Maybe it isn't the new version after all. Still very bizarre.

Went from ~220 kHash to over 300 with same settings and a slight overclock on GTX 660ti.

Launch settings are: -H 1 -d 0 -i 0 -C 1 -l K14x16

Using the same exact config on a GTX 670 and saw same exact hash rates and improvements, went from 220Khash to 310khash

Hi guys, I'm in a pinch atm. I keep getting this when I launch cudaminer.

HTTP reqest failed: Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:9332; No error. Json_rpc_call failed, retry after 15 seconds.

I already tried disabling firewall but it doesn't help. I think it has to do with my batch file but I can't figure out what exactly is wrong atm.

The new version doesn't require the stratum proxy as before. It looks like you're trying to use it anyway. Use the direct stratum+tpc:\\ address in your command line

I've been lurking this thread ever since I started mining a week ago. Thanks for all the hard work everyone has done.

I've got 2 EVGA 670 FTW OC'ed hitting 453 kh/s. Supporting hardware is an i7 3770k @4.6ghz, EVGA Z77 FTW motherboard, and 8gb of ram.

I've tried as many combinations of arguments as possible, and these 2 are getting me the same results:

-H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -l K14x16

-H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -l K112x2    <- way more consistent

About 220-230 kh/s on each card.

I've also noticed that if I put in an argument that cudaminer doesn't like, I have to reboot my computer since it drops my GPU clock speed to 750mhz and seems to lock it there.

I'm hoping for some more K20 optimizations in the future!

Overclock and hash rate screenshot



I just discovered the K112x2 config last night, I get about 218K/hash max per second with a slightly faster core clock than you, so nicely done. I ALSO have the problem of getting my gpu frequency locked to 750mhz.

So with the new version (and -H 2 setting) my hash rates on x86 indeed went from about 195Khash/s to 207KHash/s, which is almost exactly what I was getting on the x64 12-07 version. My x64 hashrates went down from 207Khash/s to about 202Khash/s

HOWEVER, one extremely noticeable problem is that with either x86 or x64 builds, the new -H 2 setting causes me to lose hashrates once every 15 blocks or so. I'll see a steady stream of 205-210Khash/s followed by a single block being mined at 150-165Khash/s, and then the next block everything will return to normal.

I think, for the moment, I'll stick with the x64 12-07 build.

EDIT: Hmmm, just restarted my computer for the first time today, immediately opened up the cudaminer upon getting back to my desktop and noticed the same problem where the GPU utilization is only at 50% or so (getting 114Khash/s). By the time I opened this browser and typed the first sentence of this edit, the GPU load was already at 97% and my hashrate climbed to 209Khash/s. Anyone else having similar issues?

What OS are you running on? I have experienced this kind of issue on Windows Server 2012 R2, which is somewhat similar to Windows 8.1, I suppose.


Windows 7 SP1

I ran into a weird issue trying the Titan kernel on my GTX670. It was reporting almost 400khash, but every share was being invalidated by the CPU, besides otherwise acting fairly normally. Maybe there's an improvement to be made somewhere that could let Kepler achieve these kinds of khash rates.

For anyone looking for a config for their GTX670, I'm at 180 khash with these settings. If someone has something better, I'm all ears.
-i 1 -l K98x2 -C 2 -m 1

Try K14x16

Here is my brief summary of my results over the last two versions on a GTX670 (1254Mhz core, 3400Mhz memory) using K14x16 config and interactive mode, mining scrypt coin:

Ver 12-01, 64bit = 195Khash/s, GPU load ~99%, TPD ~80%, dips to 150Khash/s while still full GPU load
Ver 12-01, 32bit = 185Khash/s, GPU load ~90%, TPD ~75%, dips to 150Khash/s, but GPU load drops to 50% (I fixed this by opening up a browser window while I overnight. GPU load and hashrate return to normal)
Ver 12-07, 32bit = 190Khash/s, GPU load ~93%, TPD ~75%, clearly extra GPU utilization is resulting in extra Khash/s
Ver 12-07, 64bit = 205Khash/s, GPU load ~98%, TPD ~78%

Nice little update. Its good to not have to use the stratum proxy anymore as well. I hope these optimizations continue. I strongly believe this card is capable of at least 400Khash/s. If only the CPU could validate my card for the titan kernel =\

Glad someone made this thread so I dont have to.

And to think, all I wanted to do was tell a fellow GTX 670 user how to increase their output through cudaminer.

EDIT: Wtf, I'm being prevented from posting this because my account supposedly made a post within the last 360 seconds. How is that possible when I have zero posts?
