gwe VS xmrig-cuda

NVidia driver has a simple panel, but it's very limited in options. You can get more with https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe

Hey, just FYI, the `master` branch was already migrated to Rx 4.0.x 9 months ago: https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe/-/commit/1b64e99846e8463194232ea6a1a1a3bae50b6466

My guess is that the update was a "cascading" update caused by the EOL of Gnome 42 Platform.

On my system Lenovo Legion 5i i7-10750H with a RTX2060 on hybrid mode I got 15Wh. I'm starting to test with auto-cpufreq + LenovoLegionLinux + GreenWithEnvy (I hope it gets a new maintainer) setting the dGPU to 1W (which it never reaches, never less than 6w).

I'm happy with NVIDIA on Linux for the most part. I stick with X11 for the overclocking Green with envy and g-sync, plus DLSS 2 and ray tracing works in every game I've tried besides hitman, however DLSS 3 frame generation doesn't work and no idea when/if it will.

I am not sure if it supports 1060, but search up GreenWithEnvy. It has maximum power draw control and displays the slowdown temperature among other things

For Windows you can get the plugin precompiled from MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda releases just match whatever is closest to your nvidia-smi CUDA runtime version (top right corner)

Setup another clone of the whole xmrig folder, change cpu->enabled:false and cuda->enabled:true, get moneroocean CUDA plugin, let it test all algorithms. Will earn more than the CPU. Run them both at the same time. If both enabled in the single xmrig session that locks algo to the same on both which would never be optimal.

Linux requires you to build the plugin yourself since there are no releases of MO/xmrig-cuda for it. Rough instructions are here, scroll down to the CUDA section. For proper toolkit, check nvidia-smi for what version of CUDA your driver contains (top right corner) then get that CUDA Toolkit.

GT620 is a Fermi based thing, that will work with CUDA 8.0, you'll have to run old drivers (probably 391.35) and obtain the MoneroOcean fork of xmrig-cuda for 8.0 release from me because official MoneroOcean repo doesn't build releases for 8.0 and I just built this for another user on here recently (will keep it updated too).

Then I go grab the MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda release for that (or below) and xmrig-cuda-v6.15.1-mo2-cuda10_1-win64.zip fits that requirement.

If you need the CUDA plugin for xmrig then also use the MoneroOcean fork of xmrig-cuda or it will not understand cn-gpu.

Also if using the xmrig-cuda plugin for nvidia GPUs, use their fork as well or you will be missing cn-gpu algorithm support (it would be in the miner / but the plugin would fail to understand it).

Use the cuda10_2 release and see if it works.

The main things that are the same are: * Use MO forks of everything: xmrig xmrig-cuda plugin (if nvidia) * Setup cpu-only xmrig as normal. Give rig-id in pass field (rigName:[email protected]) * Setup another separate folder configured cpu off and cuda or opencl on with different rig-id * Let each run their benchmarking and generate algo-perf * Run them both
