[EDIT]Driver Update Solved Issue[/EDIT] the new miner does not work on 2GB cards (testet with GTX 960 2GB and some AMD R7 2GB) It gets some opencl error.. Can this be fixed?

With a 1.5GB DAG you would think it would still be possible on a 2GB card. What does the GTX960 say when you replace the -G with -U? Perhaps CUDA gives a more specific error message.
Whjat is the output of ethminer.exe -G --list-devices for both types of cards?
is the fix for the issue winth the slow hasrate on windows and pascal, out yet?
I'm not sure. I know from somebody who's a little bit closer to the source that he has a full speed 1070 ethminer on Windows. Possibly already released on Windows Insider.
I don't have Pascal yet, hard to get AIC models here, let alone at reasonable prices.
@Genoil thanks for the hint! It works now. For mining we use the 347.52 Driver that gives around three times more hashrate than the newest nvidia drivers. (20 mh/s for 980GTX instead of like 7 ) so it was a driver problem. Updating to 368.39 fixed it.

anyway great work the new version is very nice!
Latest driver fixes mining for 9XX cards on which OS ? or its still win7 and linux ?

Afaik still 7/8/Linux. Just sold my 970 because of that. Well and because I want a 10x0. After all I need to keep my promise of using the donations to purchase Pascal
As I told you earlier, I'm not really sure where I should put my efforts next. Perhaps the community can help me decide:
1. plough on with the fork, adding features like dual mining (waving at bensam1231) and making it more stable 2. work with the Foundation to upstream my changes into the offcial ethminer 3. drop AMD/OpenCL support (Claymore and Wolf0 seem to have cornered that market) and move the CUDA miner into ccminer (waving at tpruvot, sp_, djm34), with the ultimate goal of making a generic dual miner (combine any algo)
Forgot to post this earlier, but i would also vote for option #1 or a 1 and 3 mix This would be a great benefit for Nvidia users, dual mining would be an attractive feature and as you said, AMD is pretty well covered already, but yours is the only option for CUDA users. Not to take anything away from you, you've done an amazing job and i just hope you keep up your great work and push to evolve your miner for the benefit of the community
I'm having an hard time setting up my strix 750ti 4GB to achieve decent rates on linux (don't mention windows 8.1).
So far the best I'd get its 3.3MHs average with 4.4 MHs spikes, it seems some people get ~9MHs real average with this card on ubuntu 14.04 so can someone with the same card and decent performance point me towards the best setup? (drivers/cuda/miner versions used please).
openCL with etherminer and qtminer give me close results to CUDA.
To had insult to injury I get ~1.6MHs with a modest gtx 630 2GB just with the 331 nvidia drivers installed... I cant accept that a much powerfull card (~x9) its just twice as fast! I must be screwing something up somewhere
Also if anyone has tried CUDA mining on 14.04 SERVER let me know
Thanks in advance for all the help and Genoil for the effort in CUDA mining.
@net_pt77 sorry this is all you will get from gtx750. its hashrate is affected by growing DAG size. (1.5GB currently). The 9Mh numbers you read are measured against the 0-dag (1GB)
need suggestions , lately my gtx box win10 , 347.52 with 2x950 and 1x970 started to behave , miner crashing , tried 1.1.7 , 1.1.3 , 1.0.8 , nothing changed OS or HW wise. no OC , stock clocks , temp wise all is ok any ideas ?

So the 4GB on the card can't cope with a 1.5GB DAG? That's disappointing
Well I will just use that card for folding then, its does a good job at it with lower power comsumption.
Hi. I haven't updated for a while and just switched to the 110 branch. My first observation is that all DAG options disappeared (-E, -R), and I don't see the files in the standard ~/.ethash location. It seems that the miner now generates the DAG in memory.
My question is does it still pre-generate the next-generation DAG? If not, does it effect mining efficiency on generation change? Thanks!
I ran my 1.1.7 builds fine on 1080+win10 (not my system). Did you build from source?
I'm having a short CUDA break. Sold my 970 to exchange for 1070 but I might wait for 1060 and buy a RX470 on the side. I don't need all that power, i just need the architecture.
it's not mine the result, it's just from another guy, i'm posting what he get since he don't have time to follow, i think he simply downloaded the raw file
Where are the ready-to-run binaries of the latest version? I only see 1.0.8 and I have 2x 1080 and 1x 1070 in my hands that I want to play with I'm running the insider preview so I wanna see what it does.
EDIT: Found... @Genoil Please update the 1st post on bitcointalk to reflect the correct location
- On windows 8.1 I get errors. Something about a timeout after creating DAG, display driver crashes after that. I didn't feel like looking for a solution, since it will be 10 or burst (well... or linux ) - On the current windows 10, I get the expected 8 Mh/s. However, it doesn't matter if I use 1 or 2 cards, it will remain 8 Mh/s. Also, I still need to use --cuda-devices 0 1 to make the miner see both cards.
I'm waiting for my Insider Preview to clear now, and will see what that does.
EDIT: Insider Preview gives the same result: 8Mh/s

Don't worry... If you wait a month, it'll happen then. Funny, it's already been talked about. XD
Oh wait, you actually care now that you own a 1070? Awww... And Amph's heart grew ten sizes... because he owns something someone is having a problem with now.
Cute.
Everything is still broken with the 1XXX on Windows. Apparently there is some sort of magical driver that will come out this month that'll fix everything or so I've been told.
actually i don't own it yet, i posted those result for another user, maybe he did something wrong
the guy vaulter or what is his nick, said that it work already on win 10, you can do 27MH at 105w, you need the insider build, win7 is still broken, we need to wait for genoil to sort it out...
I reported the same thing over a week ago, to which you replied to it and told me that it would be fixed. Not sure why you're reporting it for your 'friend' again.

the new miner does not work on 2GB cards
(testet with GTX 960 2GB and some AMD R7 2GB)
It gets some opencl error..
Can this be fixed?

He didn't do anything wrong. It's broken.
