While there is still no official release of the ccMiner version 1.6.6 frok from tpruvot since there were requests from readers, we have compiled a Windows binary from the latest (source). The latest version includes numerous improvements including performance optimizations, there is support for the new Lyra2REv2 algorithm now available as well as some other algorithms. Our Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, but do have in mind that not all of the supported algorithms may work on older Compute 3.0 GPUs. You can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing the multiple pool support.

Here comes a new update in the form of a new Windows binary release compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.61-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The latest version includes a lot of fixes and some hashrate improvements, including proper hashrate report on pools for Lyra2Rev2 and higher performance, we are glad to see that solo mining is yet again working as it seem to have been broken in the last few versions. Do note that the SP-MOD fork of ccMiner is designed for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X. The Windows binary release we have made available here is with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards compiled with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.

Updated Ethereum Ethminer with Nvidia CUDA Support
19, Aug 2015
Genoil, the developer of the Ethminer fork with Nvidia CUDA support (source) has implemented some updates to the code of the project contributed by SP and tpruvot that reduce the load on the CPU when the miner is running. Also the default worksize has been increased form 64 to 128, but other than that there should be no changes affecting the performance of the miner. The reduction of CPU usage may come at the cost of slight hashrate drop, but there is a command line parameter now that you can use to stick with the higher CPU load and get the slightly higher performance --high-cpu-load, so it is up to you to decide. We have updated our package with Geth and Ethminer for OpenCL and CUDA with the latest version of the Ethminer CUDA binary for Windows (requires 64-bit Windows), so you can download and try it. The Ethminer CUDA fork should work on Compute 2.0 or newer GPUs, we have tested it with a Compute 2.1 and it is working fine, but don’t forget that you can run Ethminer in OpenCL mode as well on Nvidia-based video cards and not only on AMD if you are having trouble with the CUDA support or the hashrate you get is lower as compared to OpenCL.
