Updated ccMiner 1.6.3-git fork by tpruvot with NeoScrypt Support

12, May 2015

ccminer-1-6-3-tpruvot-git-latest

We have compiled a new up to date Windows binary from the latest ccMiner 1.6.3-git by tpruvot (source). The latest version includes support for the NeoScrypt algorithm that has been improved over djm34’s initial work that might also work on older Nvidia GPU. There are also numerous code improvements included in the latest code, so if you are using tpruvot’s fork of ccMiner you might want to update. The previous windows binary release that we posted required Compute 3.5 as a minimum, this one is compiled for Compute 3.0 or newer Nvidia GPUs, but not all algorithms may work on older GPUs. Our windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, you can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing.

New sgminer 5.1.0 fork with Optimized Lyra2RE Kernel

11, May 2015

sgminer-5-1-0-lyra2re-pallas

Back in February we’ve mentioned about a crowdfunding project for a new optimized Lyra2RE optimized kernel by a used called pallas on the Bitcointalk forum. Now the source code of the optimized kernel, along with the sgminer fork, has been released by pallas and we have compiled a windows binary of the miner for everyone that is interested in trying it out on Windows. Our quick test has shown about 640 KHS hashrate mining Lyra2RE with the compiled binary and the optimized kernel on a non-overclocked Radeon R9 285 GPU (with slight factory OC of the card) by increasing a bit the intensity from the default 15. The result was achieved using the AMD 15.4 Beta driver, though you might want to use the latest official 14.12 release for better performance. You are welcome to experiment and report what hashrate you are getting with this sgminer fork and optimized kernel on your GPU. Do note that this fork of sgminer only comes with kernels supporting Lyra2RE, therefore it is not intended for mining with other algorithms.

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.50-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

9, May 2015

ccminer-1-5-50-git-spmod

New update in the form of a new Windows binary compiled from the latest source code of ccMiner 1.5.50-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). This version includes numerous fixes and some performance improvements in Lyra2RE and a few other algorithms, there is also a new option to turn off extranonce support. 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 and GTX 980. The Windows binary release we have made available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.
