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.

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.

The latest release of the ccMiner 1.7 fork by tpruvot (source) has added some new interesting functionality among which is the ability to run a benchmark on all of the supported crypto algorithms by the software. There is no more need to go through all of the algorithms one by one and record the returned results, all you have to do is run ccminer.exe --benchmark and the miner will go through all of the algorithms automatically and print out the hashrate you get with your particular Nvidia GPU. It can work with single and multiple GPUs in the system, but if you have more than one and you do not specify which one you want tested it will benchmark all of them and display individual hashrate. Thanks to the ease of use of this feature and the fact that it needs just about 5 minutes to run we might soon start seeing crypto hashrate benchmarks included in Nvidia GPU reviews on sites that do hardware reviews, but generally do not bother to test crypto mining performance.
Since the output in the console when you run ccMiner in benchmark mode is quite big, you might want to automate the run and have the results written to a text file by default that you can later open and view more easily than having to scroll in a console window. To do so and have the results written to benchmark.txt file just run the following command line: ccminer.exe --benchmark > benchmark.txt
Here is a sample benchmark run on a GTX 980 Ti GPU:
