Genoil is working on a new release of his ethminer 0.9.41 fork version 1.1 pre-release (source) and here is a Windows binary of the latest version that you can try. Genoil’s fork of ethminer is targeted at Nvidia CUDA miners, but it also works on AMD OpenCL for mining of Ethereum (ETH). The latest pre-release version 1.1 is intended for testing as it brings some nice new features, but it might contain some bugs at the moment. You are welcome to download and try the compiled binary of the latest 1.1 pre-release version and test how the no need for DAG files functionality is working. Of course the miner still needs DAG data, but it is no longer stored on your hard drive in the form of large files taking up space, the data is generated when the miner is stared on the fly and it loaded into the GPUs. There is also CUDA Compute 2.0 support brought back for older Nvidia GPUs, though on these older video cards the performance might not be that great for mining Ethereum anyway (you still need 2GB of video memory). Again, this is a pre-release version 1.1 with the idea for people to try and report how the new features work and if they find any bugs, so you are welcome to try it, but be careful as there might be some bugs and it may not be 100% stable.

New Ethminer 0.9.41-genoil-1.0.8 Windows Binary
12, May 2016
Genoil has updated his ethminer 0.9.41 fork to version 1.0.8 (source) and here is a Windows binary of the latest version that you can try. Genoil’s fork of ethminer is targeted at Nvidia CUDA miners, but it also works on AMD OpenCL for mining of Ethereum (ETH). The new version 1.0.8 has some minor bug fixes and improvements, but probably the most important new feature is the much improved output you get that is more user friendly with a single line of text reporting your current status. You are welcome to download and try the compiled binary of the latest 1.0.8 version and make sure you are also taking advantage of the recently introduced Stratum failover feature as well. Check the example BAT file for more information on how to use the new Stratum failover mode and do check out the new shorter log output with hashrate and accepted and rejected shares by the pools as well as fails.

Nvidia has announced the first GPUs from their next generation of consumer 16nm FinFET GPUs using the Pascal architecture including some specifications and new features along with the prices and release dates. As expected the new GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 GPUs will be clocked higher and at the same time will consume less power and provide users with more power for the next generation of higher resolution displays an VR for examples. The big question for us however is how the new GPUs will be performing for crypto currency mining as compared to the current generation of Maxwell-based GPUs. The increase of performance combined with lower power usage of the new Pascal models as compared to the current Maxwell video cards is a promising start for sure. We’ll have to wait a bit more in order to see, the GeForce GTX 1080 is going to be available starting May 27th with a price of $599 USD and the GeForce GTX 1070 is coming two weeks later on June 10th with a price of $379 USD. Of course for miners with multi-GPU mining rigs the GTX 1070 would probably be the more interesting product…
