Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.44-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

13, Apr 2015

ccminer-1-5-44-git-spmod

If you are wondering what to currently mine with your Nvidia-based GPUs such as Nvidia GTX 750 Ti or GTX 980 for example, then you might want to check Quark and Qubit as algorithms they seem to be quite profitable to mine on Nvidia. If you do make sure you have the latest version of ccMiner and we have just compiled a Windows binary from the latest source code of ccMiner 1.5.44-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The latest version comes with some fixes and performance improvements in the Quark and Qubit algorithms, though the performance increase of Qubit is apparently better than the increase of hashrate in Quark.

The SP-MOD fork is designed for running on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970 and GTX 980. The windows binary release we have made available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013. We have done some quick tests comparing the latest update with improved Quark and Qubit performance to the previous .43 release on GTX 750 Ti and GTX 980 and below you can see the results to get an idea on what yu can expect in terms of performance increase:

GTX 750 Ti
– Quark .43 – 5395 KHS
– Quark .44 – 5420 KHS
– Qubit .43 – 4319 KHS
– Qubit .44 – 4440 KHS

GTX 980
– Quark .43 – 15338 KHS
– Quark .44 – 15558 KHS
– Qubit .43 – 13771 KHS
– Qubit .44 – 14115 KHS

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.43-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

24, Mar 2015

ccminer-1-5-43-sp-mod

A new Windows binary compiled from the latest source code of ccMiner 1.5.43-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The latest version comes with some fixes and some small performance improvements in multiple algorithms. The SP-MOD fork is designed for running on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970 and GTX 980. The windows binary release we have made available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.

Updated ccMiner forks With Support for WhirlpoolX Now Available

9, Mar 2015

ccminer-sp-whirlpoolx

The WhirlpoolX algorithm is now supported in both the latest updates of the ccMiner forks from SP (source) and Tpruvot (source). So we have compiled windows binaries from the latest source for both miners and decided to test the performance we are getting mining the WhirlpoolX altcoin Vanillacoin (VNL). Do note that the sp-mod fork of ccMiner is optimized and supports the newer Computer 5.0 and 5.2 Nvidia Maxwell GPUs where the performance is maxed out while the tpruvot fork supports Compute 3.0 or newer video cards. We have tested the performance we are getting on GeForce GTX 980 GPU with the two miners, the SP version as expected gives out higher performance on a Maxwell card as expected with about 233 MHS while the tpruvot fork is not that much slower with about 222 MHS mining WhirlpoolX. So if you are mining WhirlpoolX on Nvidia-based video cards or leasing your hashrate you might want to update your miner to the appropriate version depending on your GPUs.
