New GMiner 2.43 With Focus on Ethash Mining Improvements and Stability

27, Jan 2021

The latest GMiner 2.43 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner continues improving on Ethash support including compatibility with pools as well as new kernels for Nvidia. The latest update adds two new kernels for Ethash, so that now the miner support 5 kernels for Nvidia GPUs in order to ensure optimal performance depending on your GPU. Gminer automatically selects the optimal kernel by default, but you can also select specific kernel by the --oc command line parameter. The latest version also brings improved handling of device freezing as well as improved auto-tuning.

GMiner 2.43 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner changelog:
– improved compatibility with Ethash pools (shardpool.io)
– improved handling of device freezing
– improved auto-tuning
– added two kernels for Ethash, miner support 5 kernels for Nvidia GPUs, miner automatically select optimal kernel, also you can select specific kernel by --oc parameter

The GMiner miner software was originally only an Nvidia GPU miner, although some algorithms are already supported on AMD GPUs as well. Do note that GMiner is a closed source miner for Nvidia and AMD GPUs with binaries available for both Windows and Linux, there is standard 2% developer fee built-in the software, though Ethash fee is 0.65% and KAWPOW fee is 1%, but there are some fees that go higher than 2% as well!

New NBMiner 30.0 With Memory Timings Optimization for Nvidia GPUs

30, Apr 2020

The latest NBMiner 30.0 update comes with a built-in replacement for the OhGodAnETHlargementPill memory timings optimization tool for Nvidia GPU owners of GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti with GDDR5X video memory. The implementation from NBMiner does however requires the use of a custom unsigned driver under Windows and admin privileges under Linux, so not as easy as just running a custom executable file to enable the tweaks. Once implemented however it could allow for greater flexibility as you have the option to use different levels of optimizations for the memory timings via command line parameters. Have in mind that not all crypto algorithms may benefit from memory timings optimization, here are the two options you need to use to enable and activate the memory tings optimizations in the latest version of NBMiner.

--mt, --memory-tweak Memory timings optimize for Nvidia GDDR5 & GDDR5X gpus. range [1-6]. Higher value equals higher hashrate. Individual value can be set via comma seperated list. Power limit may need to be tuned up to get more hashrate. Higher reject share ratio can happen if mining rig hits high temperature, set lower value of -mt can reduce reject ratio. Under windows, a custom driver need to be installed before using -mt, see description of --driver for more detail. Admin priviledge is needed to run under linux, sudo ./nbminer -mt x. OhGodAnETHlargementPill is not needed anymore if -mt is enabled when mining on 1080 & 1080ti GPUs.
--driver Windows only option, install / uninstall driver for memory tweak. Run with admin priviledge. install: nbminer.exe --driver install, uninstall: nbminer.exe --driver uninstall. Note: the installed custom driver is not signed by microsoft, users need to disable secure boot in BIOS settings to get the driver work.

We remind you that the NBMiner is a closed source GPU miner for Nvidia CUDA and now AMD as well that is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems and it has the following developer fee built-in: tensority_ethash 3%, tensority(Pascal) 2%, tensority(Turing) 3%, ethash 0.65%, cuckaroo & cuckatoo & cuckaroo_swap 2%, progpow_sero 2%, sipc 2%, bfc 3%, hns 2%, hns_ethash 3%, trb 2%, trb_ethash 3%, kawpow 2%.

New GMiner 2.07 With a Performance Boost for the Cuckatoo32 Algorithm

26, Apr 2020

The latest GMiner 2.07 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner continues improving the Cuckatoo32 performance with the latest update capable of delivering up to +20% performance boost depending on the GPU and OC mode used according to the developer. Definitely a nice improvement worth an updating if you are mining anything that uses the Cuckatoo32 algo, but also have in mind that the default developer fee for the Cuckatoo32 algorithm is set at 3% and is not the standard 2% as for most other algorithms supported by GMiner.

The GMiner miner software was originally only an Nvidia GPU miner, although some algorithms are already supported on AMD GPUs as well. Do note that GMiner is a closed source miner for Nvidia and AMD GPUs with binaries available for both Windows and Linux, there is a 2% developer fee built-in the software.
