xmrig-cuda VS xmrig-cuda

Download and build Xmrig-Cuda from Github https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-cuda

You will need XMRig and XMRig-CUDA plugin to mine on NVIDIA GPUs. You'll need to set "enabled": true, in cuda section of config.json for XMRig. But you'll be disappointed by GPU hashrates.

Hey there, I have the same issue - still looking for solution. Apparently you need to provide a plugin for cuda (https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-cuda) for Win there are downloadable binaries but not for Linux. I'm still trying to figure it out how to get it running on HiveOS.

Now the specific issue with Kepler vs cn-gpu is somewhat known and I might have to build you another custom release for it to work right. I submitted the fixes like eons ago but so far nobody cares (except a few people with Keplers, lol).

CUDA is not working because you don't have v6.12.0 of the plugin from xmrig-cuda repo

I fixed the support a while back but you would have to do some things:

If your GPU is nvidia then you need the CUDA plugin that matches your xmrig. * Vanilla normal xmrig and same xmrig-cuda * MO fork xmrig and same fork xmrig-cuda

https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-cuda/releases i mean try one of these different versions see cuda 8-11 i think the older ones are for different drivers and cards . im not 100% but something to investigate. u can use xmrig to mine raven now it has kawpow algo i see it when i run the moneroocean xmrig when it tests performance of algo's. i never used nbminer

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.

MoneroOcean xmrig-cuda

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
