Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.63-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

2, Sep 2015

ccminer-1-5-63-sp-mod

A new update in the form of a new Windows binary release compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.63-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The latest version includes more fixes and some slight hashrate improvements. 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 cards compiled with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.

Update: We have compiled and updated the binary with the latest code changes that include significant increase in performance for BlakeCoin – up to about 70% increase in the hashrate. As an example with GTX 980 Ti the older ccMiner could get up about 2.033 GHS and with the updated version the performance we get now form the same GPU is 3.531 GHS, a GTX 950 GPU is up from about 677 MHS to 1.17 GHS, so the increase is very significant. Due to the high difficulty that BlakeCoin (BLC) has because of it being merge mined with multiple other coins this performance increase might actually make it interesting to actually mine it with Nvidia GPUs.

27, Aug 2015

ccminer-1-6-6-git-tpruvot

While there is still no official release of the ccMiner version 1.6.6 frok from tpruvot since there were requests from readers, we have compiled a Windows binary from the latest (source). The latest version includes numerous improvements including performance optimizations, there is support for the new Lyra2REv2 algorithm now available as well as some other algorithms. Our Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, but do have in mind that not all of the supported algorithms may work on older Compute 3.0 GPUs. You can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing the multiple pool support.

Here comes a new update in the form of a new Windows binary release compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.61-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The latest version includes a lot of fixes and some hashrate improvements, including proper hashrate report on pools for Lyra2Rev2 and higher performance, we are glad to see that solo mining is yet again working as it seem to have been broken in the last few versions. 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.
