Gigabyte GTX 970 WF3 With Different Versions of ccMiner SPMOD

20, Nov 2015

ccminer-spmod-gtx-970

Since we’ve been closely following the development of the different ccMiner forks and have been compiling Windows binaries for most of the updated versions we have decided to do an interesting test. We have picked up the last 20 releases of the ccMiner SPMOD fork for Maxwell and tested them on a Gigabyte GTX 970 WF3 GPU running at stock frequencies to see what has happened with the hashrate in the X11, Quark, NeoScrypt and LyraREv2 algorithms. The first version we tested with ccMiner 1.5.53-git SP is from early July and looking at the results it seems that the most notable improvement is with Quark as well as some slight improvement with X11. Lyra2REv2 support has been added in release ccMiner 1.5.60-git SP, so there are no results prior to that, it seems however that the initial versions and the last one have pretty much the same hashrate with some drop with some in-between versions. The NeoScrypt hashrate hasn’t changed much, there is some slight variance with different versions probably due to the Boost frequency of the GPU variating a bit. Do note that these are results with publicly available and open source code, there could be some higher performance private miners also available…

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.74-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

ccminer-1-5-74-spmod

Another update in the form of a Windows binary compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.74-git SP-MOD fork by SP optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards (source). The latest release comes with some small performance improvements for as well as fixes that should help resolve issues that some users are experiencing with the lyra2v2 algorithm. Do note that 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, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X. The Windows binary release we have made available here is with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based Nvidia video cards compiled with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.

ccminer-1-5-73-spmod

An update in the form of a Windows binary release compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.73-git SP-MOD fork by SP optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards (source). The latest release comes with some small performance improvements for qubit as well as various fixes that should help resolve issues with share rejects in skein and low difficulty pool issues with lyra2v2. Do note that 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, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X.
