Miner Control 1.5.5 Pack for Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti

29, Nov 2014

miner-control-1-5-5-gtx-750-ti

It has been a while since we have released a package using the NiceHash Control Tool ready to be used on Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPUs and since that time the tool has been replaced by its author with a new one called Miner Control that has more features and supports other mining pools as well. So we have updated out Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti mining package using the latest ccMiner fork from SP optimized for Maxwell GPUs and with a configuration to be ready to be used along with the new Miner Control 1.5.5 tool.

You can download the package below with settings already set for non-overclocked GTX 750 Ti, if you are going to be using it on multiple card mining rigs you need to multiply the hashrate for the algorithms supported. The package will also function just fine on GTX 970 and GTX 980 cards where you would need to multiply the power usage and hashrate numbers by roughly 3 times to get the correct calculations working. Of course the best thing would be to set the right values for hashrate and power usage in the config file that the mining rig you have will produce. The GTX 750 Ti package is configured to work NiceHash, TradeMyBit, Yaamp and Wafflepool, supporting only the more profitable X11, X13, X15 and NIST5 algorithms.

To be ready to use it you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address and only for TradeMyBit you would need to set your account worker id and your API key for the current prices. Do note that the default configuration that we have left is set to mine from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to.

New Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

29, Nov 2014

ccminer-1-5-git-sp-mod-new

Time for another windows binary release based on the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). Since the last windows binary we have published a few days ago there have been a lot of fixes and improvements made to the code and we were pleasantly surprised today to see a significant performance improvement. The results we are getting in terms of hashrate on our stock test GTX 980 GPU for X11 have gone up from about 7900 KHS with the previous release to over 8300 KHS and for X13 up from a bit over 6200 KHS to about 6700 KHS. There are also hashrate optimizations for other algorithms – NIST5 is up to about 26500 KHS, so performance should increase not only for X-based coins, so definitely a recommended update for owners of Maxwell-based Nvidia GPUs such as GTX 750 series and GTX 970/980. There seems to be a bug with the launch config of X15 for Computer 5.2 cards as on GTX 750s it works fine, also the improvements are also present for GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti users, but the hashrate increase is not so big. Do note that this fork of ccMiner is supports only Maxwell cards as it is optimized and compiled for Compute 5.0 and 5.2 architecture.

Official Windows Binary Release of the ccMiner 1.5 Fork by tpruvot Now Available

27, Nov 2014

ccminer-1-5-tpruvot-windows-binary

A few days ago we have posted a windows binary compiled from the latest source of ccMiner 1.5 from tpruvot and now an official final release is available with a windows binary release compiled by the author of the miner. The final version does come with some additional improvements as compared to the 1.5-git release from a few days ago, so if you are using the older windows binary you might want to update now. The ccMiner 1.5-tpruvot fork adds extranonce support that is used by services for selling and buying hashrate such as NiceHash and also has further improved API and Nvidia GPU monitoring features available. In terms of performance there is some slight improvement especially for X13 where you may notice a bit higher hashrate as compared to the 1.5-git windows binary. The ccMiner 1.5-tpruvot fork supports Nvidia-based GPUs with Compute 3.0 or newer capabilities, so make sure that you are not trying to run the miner on too old hardware
