As of now i have no problems mining with GTX 1080 on Windows 10 with anniversary update and 369.09 driver, hope they don't break something with next driver update as i use it as my daily driver.
actually i do , im getting aprox only half of expected hashrate , only 20ish mhz , need ddr5x optimizations
Trying to run on 1080. OpenCL works fine but CUDA gives the following error
Using device: GeForce GTX 1080 (Compute 6.1) Generating DAG for GPU #0 Cuda error in func 'ethash_generate_dag' at line 129 : unspecified launch failure.
To anyone mining with 1080, claymore dual miner seems to be working properly now and it's really good. I'm getting about 45 mhash eth + 1400 mhash sia at 65% power limit, or about 300w from wall using 2 gtx 1080s(4790k system draws about 60w idle, gold psu, this is my gaming rig), setting -dcri 90 seems to be the sweet spot, compared to genoil or claymore single miner mode, i get about 50 mhash/s at 270w from wall. Dual mining is definitely more profitable.

Yep, 44 Mh/s for 2 * GTX 1080 ($1400) or 48 Mh/s for 2 * RX 470 4GB ($480 if you can find..)
But my 1080 is in my gaming rig that I use every day and my Rx 470 is in the garage and is lonely.
Can you share what 470 do you use? 24mh\s is good for stock 470 4GB. Almost all 470 4GB can do only 22 mh\s at stock... (P.S. Devil Powercolor 4gb 470 can 27mh\s with moded bios - searching for it)
I hope miner developers will learn how to use gddr5x effectively. 1080 must do about 40-50 mh\s i think with optimization
I have a 1070 Reference card (gigabyte). Running Win 7, x64. I have tried genoil & claymore. Both executables either lock up or reboot the machine when mining is ready to start (will run briefly and then crash). I never see a successful hash rate.
Any help is appreciated. The driver version is 13.6881., I am using the '-U" switch in Genoil. Genoils is v. 1.1.6. Claymore is latest. Let me know if there is some other nvidia specific or ethminer settings I need please.

try installing the latest nvidia driver first uninstall the old one with this THIS

Sorry, typo. They are 8GBs... here are stats
+ MSI 480 8GB reference card. In a small Alien X51 case so it throttles at 89C and 23-24 Mh/s on defaults. If the fan is turned up, it hits the 24.6 range on Claymore 5.3. AMD 16.8.2 drivers + Sapphire 470 8GB. In big case. Claymore 5.0, 16.8.2 drivers. Runs 24.7 Mh/s (defaults 1260 MHz GPU, 2000 MHz Mem, 74 C)
@fidasx - thanks for the links. I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers (from August 15 I believe), and Genoil miner is now working . It mines at 25MH/s without changing any card settings. I will check power draw next , and tweak some settings. If someone can post recommended clock/memory/power settings again, please do, otherwise Ill read back through this thread.
Also, without changing settings. I am getting 210 Watts at the wall. The system @ idle is 85 watts. What can I expect the "wall" wattage to drop to with some tweaks?

download nvidia inspector leave the core as is put +700 on mem you can go as high as 800 after that probably artifacts or mining crash
also give a try to Clayomores dual miner you can mine ETH+DCR or SIA
Upgraded to 1607 and using 372.54, still getting 4 MH/s. (GTX 970) Any solutions?
That doesn't do anything for the 9xx series cards. You need to roll back your driver to 347 and then use a version compiled with CUDA 6.5. It's the only way to mine on Win10 and get decent hashrates.
Make sure and use DDU to remove your current drivers as well.
Hey guys -- I've been lurking on here for a while but haven't yet posted. I'm going to be building a new rig soon, but for now I'm occasionally mining eth and monero when I'm not using my current machine, which is also my workstation (I'm a dev / data scientist).
My card is a GTX 770, which I know is not efficient and I am probably losing money on power by running this card to mine. However, I want to see if I can get the most out of the card, just for the experience of optimizing its performance, so that when I build my new rig I'll have the knowledge in my brain so that I can reduce the amount of time to optimal hashrates when I get it assembled.
All that said, right now my box is exhibiting this behavior when mining. 10.23MH/s probably isn't bad for this card, but there are all those lines where it says 0 MH/s and I have no idea why, and my average hashrate ends up being garbage on ethpool.

My mining network is ethpool.org. I love the uncle payouts, and I sometimes rent time on high hashrate rigs when the btc/eth price ratios are favorable. And yes, they can be favorable enough for you to make a little money in certain conditions, as the rig owners often don't change their rates, so you can take advantage of bitcoin price drops where you get more per bitcoin mining than you would trying to sell it. That is a topic for another day.
Here's info on my rig, and yeah, some of the components are dated:
Windows 10 (I know, I know...) 12 gigs of Mushkin DDR3 1600 Intel i7-950 Bloomfield quad core 3.06Ghz 130W (I just realized the power consumption, ouch) EVGA GeForce GTX 770 w/ stock clock speeds and 2 gigs of GDDR5 Base Clock: 1111 MHz Boost Clock: 1163 MHz Memory Clock: 7010 MHz Effective (according to EVGA) CUDA Cores: 1536 CUDA Version: 7.5.18 Graphics Driver Version: 372.54
Before I get crucified, I realize that I may not be using the optimal graphics driver for mining, so please go easy on me! I've tried to piece together what's going wrong on my own using all the info here and elsewhere, I'm sure one of you guys can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it.
@Genoil Hey there, things have been running really smoothly with my rigs for weeks now but for the last week one of my rigs keeps getting stuck. Here is a screenshot of the output from this morning. It seems it did this all night long. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
When is Genoil coming back to the forum? Haven't seen a post from him in months. Spooky.
1.1.9 is out under the 110 branch. Meanwhile, promoted 1.1.7 to stable in the master branch. If you like DAG files, you can still find the old version under the 108 branch.
1.1.9 is mostly the work of others, notably @nerdralph. Lots of code cleanups, compilation fixes and some tweaks to the console log output, including per-GPU hashrate display. -SC option is gone, ethminer now defaults to the synchronous V2 client.
Executable is built with CUDA 8.0RC, don't have a CUDA GPU momentarily so I hope it works.
@Genoil I was able to get a GTX 1060 mining on 1.1.9 using v. 8 of the Nvidia toolkit. Ill get back w/full results later, but appears to be working. I was able to use the "-U" option now. This was on Windows.

https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/blob/110/releases/ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1.7.zip - works for -U so I assume it's a build problem using the shiny version of the toys.
Does this work for anyone else?

@rether i've seen no difference switching from 369.09 to 372.54, i'm using windows 10 and gtx 1080
