New lolMiner 1.64 For Additional Optimized Kaspa (KAS) Mining Efficiency

The simply up to date lolMiner 1.64 is a dream come true (extra efficiency with much less energy used) for everybody that’s at present mining Kaspa (KAS) with their Nvidia GPUs, not solely due to the additional improved efficiency that the replace brings but in addition due to the brand new options it offers entry to the miner for optimizing their GPUs. We did a fast check and the outcomes are nice and it is best to head on to your mining rigs and replace and begin tweaking the miners some extra for added hashrate and even decrease energy utilization, so a win-win scenario for positive.

In keeping with the writer of the miner the brand new model brings about 8-8.5% on Nvidia Pascal GPUs, 4.5-5% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere GPUs and 3-4% on AMD Navi and Massive Navi GPUs when it comes to improved efficiency. And because of the addition of the additional tweaking options and most notably the Core Offset (--coff parameter) we cannot solely get a lift within the efficiency with the identical settings we had been mining with model 1.63, but in addition get it with decreased energy by simply including the additional choice with a worth between 250 and 350 (relying on how a lot your GPUs can deal with steady). The --no-oc-reset may also be useful if you don’t want to reset the settings you might have utilized to the GPUs when the miner is stopped.

The brand new beta choices could require a video driver replace, relying on how outdated Nvidia video driver you might be utilizing. The outline says you want model 520 or larger, although we’ve got them working efficiently on older 512 driver, however it is best to most likely simply replace if utilizing older drivers anyway. The opposite new command line choices added for the miner may also assist to additional optimize issues a bit extra, although they are going to require further tweaking.

lolMiner 1.64 Newest Changelog:

Adjustments
– Improved Kaspa solely mining efficiency. Pace improve is about 8-8.5% on Nvidia Pascal GPUs, 4.5-5% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere GPUs and 3-4% on AMD Navi and Massive Navi GPUs
– Beta characteristic: added choices to set core clock offset (--coff), reminiscence clock offset (--moff), energy restrict (--pl) and a set fan velocity (--fan) on widespread Nvidia GPUs. Required are admin privileges and Nvidia drivers 520 or larger!
– The syntax is similar as with --cclk and --mclk – if a single worth is given then will probably be utilized to all suitable GPUs, else a coma separated checklist of values could be given utilizing a * character to skip over GPUs. (1)
– Added a brand new parameter --no-oc-reset to show off the reset of overclock settings when ending the miner.
– Home windows: Added a beta gui to generate overclock settings strings / .bat recordsdata for the miner. Additionally the device can apply the chosen settings immediately.

(1) Notice: No duty taken for the values set. Please use with care. In case your mining os had construct in capabilities to set these settings we suggest utilizing them as an alternative of the miner settings.

Fixes
– Fixing a bug with ETHV1 (nicehash) stratum mode that will trigger the employee title to be appended twice when it was given by –person . (using –employee didn’t have this problem).

Here’s a fast overview of what enhancements we’re getting with the brand new model on RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090:

GeForce RTX 3070:
lolminer 1.63: 564 MH/s – 120W – 1710/810
lolminer 1.64: 596 MH/s – 95W plus the additional choice --coff 300

GeForce RTX 3080:
lolminer 1.63: 877 MH/s – 190W – 1800/810
lolminer 1.64: 919 MH/s – 160W plus the additional choice --coff 250

GeForce RTX 3090:
lolminer 1.63: 1031 MH/s – 200W – 1800/807
lolminer 1.64: 1079 MH/s – 160W plus the additional choice --coff 350

Right here is an instance you should use for RTX 3070, simply exchange YOUR_KAS_WALLET together with your precise pockets:

lolMiner --algo KASPA --pool stratum+tcp://pool.eu.woolypooly.com --port 3112 --user YOUR_KAS_WALLET --watchdog exit --cclk 1710 --mclk 810 --coff 300

You possibly can attempt to mess around with the core offset setting, although 250 to 350 MHz needs to be secure for many GPUs, some could require decrease setting to operate steady or can take up larger offset for even better energy financial savings. As for the reminiscence clocks and settings with instance command strains, you’ll be able to check out the submit the place we speak about Optimizing Nvidia GPUs for Efficiency with Decrease Energy Utilization for Kaspa (KAS) Mining. Simply use these examples for the particular GPUs mentioned there and add the Clock Offset parameter to them as a superb place to begin and see how your energy utilization drops whilst you get further hashrate after the replace.
