We have compiled a windows binary from the latest (source) of ccMiner 1.5-git fork by tpruvot as he has added support for the Extra Nonce feature used by services such as NiceHash or WestHash to maximize the mining performance. So if you are currently leasing your Nvidia GPU mining hashrate at NiceHash you might want to try out the latest code of this ccMiner fork. Do note that there is still no official release of 1.5 by tpruvot and this windows binary is compiled from the latest source available on GitHub. There are also some increases in performance as compared to the previous release, so you should notice a slightly better hashrate in some algorithms. The windows binary available for download below is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 Nvidia GPUs using VS2013 and CUDA 6.5, so make sure you have updated your drivers if you still don’t have ones installed with CUDA 6.5 support.

We have compiled a new windows binary of the ccMiner 1.4.7.SP (source) fork with optimized kernels for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs supporting Compute 5.0 (GTX 750 / 750 Ti) and Compute 5.2 (GTX 970 / GTX 980) that includes some slight performance improvements for the Blake, Echo and Shavite algorithms as well as other more general optimizations that should result in slightly faster hashrate on some of the algorithms supported by the miner. The windows binary you can download below is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and is only for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs, it will not worl on older hardware – for older Nvidia cards you can use tpruvot’s ccMiner fork that should also work on Compute 3.0 and 3.5 GPUs.

When the new sgminer 5 develop version was updated to include the latest Neoscrypt OpenCL kernel from Wolf9466 a few days ago it has turned out that the latest performance optimizations do break compatibility with Nvidia cards as well as with the latest AMD video drivers. The solution was to use older AMD Radeon drivers to generate the kernel binary and them get back to the latest, but now there is an even easier workaround that was discovered by an user called insanid from the Feathercoin forum that does not require you to instal different drivers. All you have to do is to include the OpenCL libraries from an older driver such as 14.6 or 14.7 in the folder of the sgminer and the miner will generate properly the kernel binary file. Then you can either run sgminer for Neoscrypt with these DLL files in the folder or remove them and use the ones installed by the latest video drivers such as 14.9. To make it easier for you we have included the OpenCL DLL libraries in our windows binary compilation of the latest sgminer 5 development branch (source) and you can download the full package from the link below and try this workaround yourself.
