Updated ccMiner 1.6-git fork by tpruvot Now Available

6, Mar 2015

ccminer-1-6-git-tpruvot

Recently we have been compiling and releasing windows binaries of the ccMiner fork by SP that is optimized for newer Nvidia GPUs based on the Maxwell architecture, but tpruvot has been active lately and we have decided to compile and release a windows binary from his latest source. The windows binary we have compiled for ccMiner 1.6-git by tpruvot (source) is with support for Compute 3.0 or later Nvidia-based video cards, unlike the SP releases that are Compute 5.0 and 5.2. This means that if you are using older video cards you should go for the tpruvot release as the SP fork will not function on these, newer Maxwell GPUs however will get much better performance with the SP fork. Below you can find a quick comparison we did with the latest ccMiner 1.5-41 fork from SP and ccMiner 1.6-git fork by tpruvot using a GeForce GTX 980 GPU running at stock frequencies.

ccMiner 1.5-41 SP:
X11 – 9098 KHS
X13 – 7230 KHS
X15 – 6226 KHS

ccMiner 1.6-git tpruvot:
X11 – 8239 KHS
X13 – 6669 KHS
X15 – 5830 KHS

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.41-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

3, Mar 2015

ccminer-1-5-41-git-spmod

A new update from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.41-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source) in the form of a compiled Windows binary. The latest version comes with some fixes and additional performance increase in multiple algorithms and seems to be working stable with most of the more common algorithms supported. It seems that the latest code and maybe some releases before that do have some issue with Lyra2RE support on GTX 960, the default launch parameters seem to be wrong resulting in driver crash, so you might want to try manually setting intensity 19 or 20 to make it work properly. The SP-MOD fork is designed for running on 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.

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.40-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

ccminer-1-5-40-git-spmod

Here comes a new update as we have compiled a windows binary from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.40-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). This new version as usual includes more fixes and multiple performance improvements in the different supported algorithms with increase in the hashrate for all X-based algorithms since the last binary we published. So if you are mining with Nvidia Maxwell GPUs you might want to be always up to date with the latest version. The SP-MOD fork is designed for running on 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.
