[GUIDE] Mining on a Nvidia card (Win 64)

[sedin]

It is currently possible to mine on a Nvidia card with this miner: github.com/xmrMiner/xmrMiner-Win64


Just download and extract the zip, then modify the xmrMiner_easyStart.bat as follow:


set xmrAddress= [public wallet key]

set poolPassword=x

set poolUrl=[pool port 7777]

set launchParam=--launch=96x15

set bFactor=10

set bSleep=25

xmrMiner_0.2.1.exe --url=%poolUrl% -u %xmrAddress% -p %poolPassword% %launchParam% --bfactor=%bFactor% --bsleep=%bSleep%

pause
Don't forget to change pool's address and your public wallet key (without bracket).


You may want to change --launch according to your card, follow these rules:

--launch=TxB

T = threads used
B = CUDA blocks started (must be a multiple of the multiprocessors M on the GPU)

The equations must be full filled: T * B * 2 <= 2000 and B mod M == 0.

For instance, the GTX Titan X has 24 multiprocessors M, this means a valid and good starting configuration is --launch=16x48 and full fill all restrictions 16 * 48 * 2 = 1536 and 48 mod 24 = 0.

For Pascal architecture (GTX 10xx), you may ignore the '* 2' restriction.

You can find M on the internet by searching your card's specs


I have a OC GTX 1070 (where M = 15) and --launch=96x15 is working perfectly (15 % 15 = 0 and 96*15 = 1550 <= 200), allowing me to reach ~670H/s.

You may have to DL cudart64_80.dll (357.43 KB) and put it in your miner directory.


Since some people don't know I mean with the bracket and the url, here my .bat:

set xmrAddress=etnxxxxxx
set poolPassword=x
set poolUrl=stratum+tcp://electroneum.hashparty.io:3333
set launchParam=--launch=96x15
set bFactor=10
set bSleep=25
xmrMiner_0.2.1.exe --url=%poolUrl% -u %xmrAddress% -p %poolPassword% %launchParam% --bfactor=%bFactor% --bsleep=%bSleep% --donate=0
pause

Hi Sedin,

I'm setting it up now. I'm such a noob so I'll apologies for my amateurishness.

Where do i find multiple of the multiprocessors M on the GPU?

my miner does not work, no hashrate is showing. pls. help.

Which Miner?

Please post under a different thread. You need to deactivate your windows firewall and any others. Try it. If it still doesn't work, you need to uninstal ElectroneumPoolMiner completely. Redownload it. Reinstall it (all this with all firewalls and antivirus off) and load it up. Put in your ETN public wallet address, select 5555 if you have an i5 processor, or 7777 if you have an i7. Set number of threads to 2-6 and make sure pool region is the region you're in. Then hit start.

But please, this thread it for setting up a GPU manual min. Sorry.

Where do i find multiple of the multiprocessors M on the GPU? For the threads part i'm currently mining using my CPU with 3 threads. I just don't know how to find out the multiprocessors part. Thanks.

You can find the number of multiprocessors on internet, jsut search your card's specs. The number of thread have nothing to do with your CPU, but keeping it as a multiple of 16 seems to work better.

Thanks for the info, still nothing mentioned about multiprocessors:

CUDA Cores
: 1664
Base Clock (MHz)
: 1050
Boost Clock (MHz)
: 1178
Texture Fill Rate (GigaTexels/sec): 109

What is your GPU?

[circlecryptocurrency]

I think I got it now.

My GTX970 has 13 Streaming Multiprocessors Maxwell (SMM). And I'd like to run at 3 threads. So, in the xmrMiner_easyStart.txt file it will look like:



set (my public wallet code)

set poolPassword=x

set poolUrl=pool port 5555

set launchParam=--launch=46x39

set bFactor=10

set bSleep=25

xmrMiner_0.2.1.exe --url=%poolUrl% -u %xmrAddress% -p %poolPassword% %launchParam% --bfactor=%bFactor% --bsleep=%bSleep%

pause

Is this right?

You're not on a Pscal architecture, so don't forget the *2.

46*39*2 is way over 2000.

Try:
set launchParam=--launch=46x39

[circlecryptocurrency]

Thanks Sedin, that's what I've already got it set to: set launchParam=--launch=46x39?
