[Guide] Overclocking Geforce cards to mining with xmr-stak

[thepitster]

okay so this is what I am using in the config for xmr-stak.

First off this is the ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC

Code: (nvidia.txt) [Select]

"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
  // gpu: GeForce GTX 750 Ti architecture: 50
  //      memory: 1955/2048 MiB
  //      smx: 5
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 15,
    "bfactor" : 6, "bsleep" :  25,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false, "sync_mode" : 3,
  },

]
Precision XOC Settings: GPU +190 MHz, MEM +170 MHz

and that gets me

275 H/s

ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC + one CPU core

Thread ID	10 seconds	60 seconds	15 minutes
0	274.5	274.8	275.0
1	76.0	75.7	75.9
Totals:	350.5	350.5	350.9
Highest:	357.3

Next we have a EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC

Code: (nvidia.txt) [Select]

"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
  // gpu: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti architecture: 61
  //      memory: 3941/4096 MiB
  //      smx: 6
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 21,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false, "sync_mode" : 3,
  },

],
Precision XOC Settings: GPU +135 MHz, MEM +700 MHz

and that gets me

325 H/s

EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC + three CPU cores

Thread ID	10 seconds	60 seconds	15 minutes
0	325.4	325.5	308.8
1	57.3	57.5	57.5
2	60.4	60.3	60.3
3	60.4	60.3	60.2
Totals:	503.5	503.6	486.8
Highest:	504.4

and finally we got two of the Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Code: (nvidia.txt) [Select]

"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
  // gpu: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB architecture: 61
  //      memory: 5082/6144 MiB
  //      smx: 10
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 55, "blocks" : 40,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  25,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false, "sync_mode" : 3,
  },

],
Precision XOC Settings: GPU +218 MHz, MEM +700 MHz

and that gets me

516 H/s EACH!

two Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GBs

Thread ID	10 seconds	60 seconds	15 minutes
0	517.0	516.5	516.5
1	515.5	515.8	515.1
Totals:	1032.5	1032.2	1031.6
Highest:	1037.4
