Download the Latest Build from Source of CudaMiner For Windows

13, Apr 2014

cudaminer-latest-windows-build-from-source

In the last few days there was a big code contribution for CudaMiner from Alexey Panteleev from Nvidia and there is still no official binary release available, so we have compiled a windows binary from the latest source and you can download it below. One of the most useful new features that the latest code is the failover pool support, so you can add additional pools as backup by just including them in the command line as you would with the parameters for the first pool. Aside from failover pool support the latest release comes with some optimizations, better error handling and support of up to 32 GPUs, though we are yet to see 32 Nvidia GPUs on a single system. We have compiled the code with VS2012, so if you are getting errors when trying to run it you will have to download and install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 to resolve them. Do note that this is not an official release and a build from the latest source with a lot of new features being added, so there could be some bugs present and some things not working properly!

If you are mining crypto currencies using Nvidia-based graphic cards such as the very popular new GeForce GTX 750 Ti or other models you might want to check out the recently launched forum called CudaMiners. Since the forum is still very new there is not that much information, but it is more focused and you should be able to easily find help on Nvidia mining questions and problems and also keep up to date on new developments easier. The forum has a dedicated section for CudaMiner, the most used GPU miner for Nvidia CUDA-capable hardware and you can even find its author Christian Buchner (cbuchner1) posting in that forum as well. So do bookmark this website and keep an eye out if you are using Nvdia GPUs for crypto mining.

Updated ccMiner 0.5 with Performance Improvements for Heavycoin (HVC)

27, Mar 2014

After some updates for Groestlcoin and Fuguecoin in the previous releases, the new ccMiner 0.5 comes with a significant performance improvement for Heavycoin (HVC) mining on Nvidia-based GPUs. The new version of the mining software brings up to twice the performance improvement on older cards and it can go even up to triple on GTX 750 Ti Maxwell cards, so it is good to update if you are still using the older version of the miner. The new release of ccMiner does add the option -d for selecting a particular device that you should know from using CudaMiner. You can download the official binary release for windows below and you can also compile from the source as well. The new version comes with precompiled binaries for Compute 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 cards, so on older cards you will most likely have to run the 2.0 compiled binary and for the 700 series the Compute 3.5 should be the best option. Our tests have shown that we got more than twice the performance on a GTX 780 Ti graphics card where with the latest version we are getting around 23 MHS mining HVC as you can see on the screenshot above. With that level of performance the AMD GPU miner for Heavycoin is left way back with much slower performance you can get from a high-end GPU, even though that software miner also gets performance optimizations.
