Eventually, equihash-based coins are receiving more attention lately from both developers and miners alike. One of the latest additions was a new CUDA miner for NVidia cards.

If you’ve got an NVdia GTX 7xx, 9xx or 10xx GPU, then you will definitely find this news interesting.

I’ve been testing the miner with my own GPUs and I am sharing my findings with you in the sections below.

GPU Compatibility

The new dstm’s ZCash CUDA Miner 0.6 is meant to be used with the following NVidia GeForce GTX GPUs for desktop:

750 950 1050 / Ti
750 Ti 960 1060 / Ti
970 1070 / Ti
980 / Ti 1080 / Ti

It also works with the following non-GTX versions:

TITAN X
TITAN XP

And it even supports some mobile cards too:

830M GTX 950M 910M
840M GTX 960M 930M
GTX 850M GTX 965M 940M
GTX 860M* GTX 970M
GTX 980M

(*) only the version that comes with Maxwell cores

What’s New in Version 0.6?

Compared to the previous version, the v0.5.2, this new one includes a lot of features we’ve requested to be able to mine properly. Here are some of the most important ones:

  • Failover pool support, making this CUDA miner a decent alternative to the EWBF miner. You might want to use the FarmWatch bot to get the most out of it.
  • GPU mining intensity control
  • Configuration file support
  • Better hashrates using the same gear and clocks when compared both to EWBF and to dstm’s miner version 0.5.2
  • Interface and overall user experience overhaul

In brief, dstm’s Zcash CUDA Miner is now the best miner for Zcash and will remain like that until EWBF receives its long-waited update.

To Keep in Mind

Here are some more details about the dstm’s miner to keep in mind:

  • Even though it features higher hashrate, your profits might still stay the same because of the fixed 2% developer fee.
  • dstm’s CUDA miner is closed source software
  • People are having some issues with flypool – sometimes you can prevent crashes by changing mining pool
  • It supports stratum and NiceHash’s extranonce, which means you will be able to use it to sell equihash hashrate
  • dstm has announced that he will be releasing version 0.6.1 soon where he claims to have some of the bugs from the Bitcointalk thread fixed

System Requirements:

  • 64-bit Windows or Linux
  • C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed

Download dstm’s ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6 (Linux / Windows) precompiled version: Windows or Linux

Here are the results of my tests using different NVidia GPUs:

In Conclusion

I am glad to see that Zcash is finally getting some love from miner software developers. Zcash is one of the less volatile coins that exist today. While it had a price spike from $300 USD/ZEC to $700 in January, it then returned to the $300 mark as it was 8 months ago.

In this thread, I will be sharing the best hardware deals I find. As you probably know, mining hardware prices are really high right now due to constantly increasing demand. Surprising, isn’t? Despite cryptocurrency market not being exactly in the best situation right now, people keep rushing to buy new mining gear.

Manufacturers have noticed that too, which is why NVidia has been working on mining-oriented (and even sometimes, mining-only) GPUs. One of the latest models is the P104 and a new one, the P102 is apparently coming soon. Once it comes out, we will probably have a short amount of time to order those cards before they run out of stock. In this thread, I will keep you informed about that too, so stay in tune.

Basically, there is huge demand and subsequent shortages on anything that is related go GPU mining. Luckily enough though, there is always a good deal out there. This is why this thread exists. I’ve been running it since past year and it has been helping fellow miners to live through serious shortages. I am constantly keeping an eye on the gear that has best price/performance ratio and I am sharing my findings with you here.

Best mining hardware deals for March 14, 2018, enjoy! 🙂
