ccMiner 1.0 beta Fork with Support for Older Compute 2.x GPUs

21, May 2014

ccminer-compute-2-support

The support for older Nvidia-based GPUs using Compute 2/2.1 architecture (Fermi) has been dropped in the more recent versions of ccMiner in order to focus and improve performance on the newer Compute 3 and 3.5 (Kepler) as well as 5 (Maxwell) GPUs. It seems however there are still quite a few people that are using Fermi-based Nvidia graphic cards to mine crypto coins with, so this is something they may find useful. There is a fork of ccMiner compiled with support for Compute 2.0/2.1 (Fermi) GPUs as well as the newer Compute 3.x+ cards. To ensure support for Compute 2.x however the support for Jackpotcoin, Quark and Animecoin is not available as the code for these in ccMiner apparently requires at least Compute 3.0 support. This fork however adds Diamondcoin support that is not available in the original ccMiner release.

Compute 2.0 video cards (Fermi – GF100, GF110):
GeForce GTX 590, GeForce GTX 580, GeForce GTX 570, GeForce GTX 480, GeForce GTX 470, GeForce GTX 465, GeForce GTX 480M, Quadro 6000, Quadro 5000, Quadro 4000, Quadro 4000 for Mac, Quadro Plex 7000, Quadro 5010M, Quadro 5000M, Tesla C2075, Tesla C2050/C2070, Tesla M2050/M2070/M2075/M2090

Compute 2.1 video cards (Fermi – GF104, GF106 GF108，GF114, GF116, GF119):
GeForce GTX 560 Ti, GeForce GTX 550 Ti, GeForce GTX 460, GeForce GTS 450, GeForce GTS 450, GeForce GT 640 (GDDR3), GeForce GT 630, GeForce GT 620, GeForce GT 610, GeForce GT 520, GeForce GT 440, GeForce GT 440, GeForce GT 430, GeForce GT 430, GeForce GTX 675M, GeForce GTX 670M, GeForce GT 635M, GeForce GT 630M, GeForce GT 625M, GeForce GT 720M, GeForce GT 620M, GeForce 710M, GeForce 610M, GeForce GTX 580M, GeForce GTX 570M, GeForce GTX 560M, GeForce GT 555M, GeForce GT 550M, GeForce GT 540M, GeForce GT 525M, GeForce GT 520MX, GeForce GT 520M, GeForce GTX 485M, GeForce GTX 470M, GeForce GTX 460M, GeForce GT 445M, GeForce GT 435M, GeForce GT 420M, GeForce GT 415M, GeForce 710M, GeForce 410M, Quadro 2000, Quadro 2000D, Quadro 600, Quadro 410, Quadro 4000M, Quadro 3000M, Quadro 2000M, Quadro 1000M, NVS 5400M, NVS 5200M, NVS 4200M

Updated ccMiner 1.0 beta with Improved Performance for X11 Mining

14, May 2014

ccminer-new-x11-performance-update-780-ti

The ccMiner software miner for Nvidia GPUs has received another update of the source code with improved performance for X11 algorithm mining, so you should be getting higher hashrate when mining crypto currencies such as DarkCoin. We have compiled a binary for Windows that you can find below and try on your Nvidia GPU. The performance that the current optimized code for X11 offers on our test GeForce GTX 780 Ti GPU is almost 4.7 MHS (non overclocked) and with the previous 1.0 release of ccminer we were getting hashrate of about 2.8 MHS when mining DarkCoin. On a GTX 750 Ti you are probably going to get pretty much the same performance that a Radeon R9 280X currently has for X11 mining or about 2 MHS or slightly more. So now Nvidia clearly has the advantage in X11 mining in terms of performance over AMD.

Do note that the windows binary you can download below is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 cards (32-bit version only), so it will not work on older cards. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it, otherwise you may be getting error for a missing DLL library.

New ccMiner 1.0 Available with Added Support for X11 Mining

10, May 2014

ccminer-1-0-x11-support

The ccMiner software miner for Nvidia GPUs has received another update of the source code this time adding support for the X11 algorithm for GPU mining crypto currencies such as DarkCoin. We have compiled a binary for Windows that you can find below and try on your Nvidia GPU. It seems that the performance that the current code for X11 offers on Nvidia hardware is pretty similar to what you can get on AMD. On a GeForce GTX 780 Ti we are getting hashrate of about 2.8 MHS when mining DarkCoin.

Do note that the windows binary you can download below is compiled for Computer 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 cards (32-bit version only), so it will not work on older cards. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it.
