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 miniZ v1.5t3 Nvidia CUDA Miner with ZelHash and BeamHashII Improvements

9, May 2020

A new version of the miniZ 1.5t3 Nvidia CUDA GPU miner for Equihash-based algorithms is available and it brings extra performance Equihash 125,4 (ZelHash) uzed by ZEL and Equihash 150,5,3 (BeamHashII) used by BEAM. The Equihash 125,4 (ZEL) support comes with major improvements for various GPUs – up to ~11% (1660 Ti) and ~8% (RTX 2070). The Equihash 150,5,3 (BEAM) support brings major improvements up to ~3-4% for GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2070 and minor for other GPUs. The new version also has better pool connection handling. A newly added --ocX option for automatic tuning of the best kernel for your GPU and OC settings (currently only for for 125,4 and 150,5,3). There are some new macros supported for the log file name and last, but not by importance – stability of the miner should also be improved over the previous version.

The MiniZ miner supports Equihash 144,5, Equihash 150,5, Equihash 150,5,3, as well as Equihash 192,7, Equihash 125,4, Equihash 210,9 and Equihash 96,5 and the various crypto currencies that use these algorithms on compatible Nvidia GPUs. There are CUDA 8.0 and CUDA 10.0 binaries available including support for Nvidia RTX GPUS with the CUDA 10 release (check which version works better on older GPUs, CUDA 10 is required fo RTX). Have in mind that since miniZ is a closed source miner there is also a built-in developer fee of 2% percent included.

New miniZ v1.5t Nvidia CUDA Miner with Better Performance and Stability

29, Jan 2020

A new version of the miniZ 1.5t Nvidia CUDA GPU miner for Equihash-based algorithms is available and it brings extra performance, improvements and better stability. The major performance improvements are for the Equihash 150,5 and 210,9 algorithms with up to 4% depending on algo and GPU used. Nvidia RTX 2070 gets up to 8% on Equihash 192,7 as well as 1660 Ti. There are also minor performance improvements in all other algorithms with up to 2% boost, depending on algo and GPU used. The new version also has better support for GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1070, as well as some fixes such as lower CPU load when mining Beam on Windows and cleaner program exit/termination. The miniZ miner is still our preferred choice for ZEL mining, though here we are not seeing much of a performance gain over the previous version MiniZ 1.5s.

The MiniZ miner supports Equihash 144,5, Equihash 150,5, Equihash 150,5,3, as well as Equihash 192,7, Equihash 125,4, Equihash 210,9 and Equihash 96,5 and the various crypto currencies that use these algorithms on compatible Nvidia GPUs. There are CUDA 8.0 and CUDA 10.0 binaries available including support for Nvidia RTX GPUS with the CUDA 10 release (check which version works better on older GPUs, CUDA 10 is required fo RTX).
