Lots of people requesting this one, I've been using it for a bit and no issues thus far. Unfortunately only able to test it on Pascal and Maxwell, and Claymore isn't too clear on what devices it actually supports. I do believe Kepler works but I have removed support for Fermi. If someone wants to test on Kepler and finds it doesn't work I can update for that

EDIT: also added SC support

Can you update for Nvidia Tesla K80? The miner works on it, but nicehash gui just needs to recognize and allow it

Also added SC switching support, currently the most profitable for me. Around $9.50/day with a 1080 Ti

@computeronix Do you mean your Tesla doesn't come up at all in NHM or just for the Dual algorithms? Unfortunately I do not have a Tesla to test with so if it's the former there isn't much I can do

EDIT: some more numbers

$6.50/day on a 290X

$8.00/day on a Fury X

Uf .... 2 hour of learning how to make Exe from github files (interesting experience with Visual Studio + 20GB downloadet)
Results 🥇 it is work
Dualmining make some cents (not big impact in profit on 1060 or 1070) but work

Still one issue presist - Only ETH mining - miner Fail due he trie AMD settings on NV cards (dual work normaly)

That's interesting, seems like the miner is quitting but I'm not sure why it would work with dual only. The single miner will likely not get you as much money as the duals will, but if you want try this and maybe I can help:

Uncheck hide miner windows in the general settings

Disable all algos except the Claymore one that keeps failing

Manually set the Claymore speed to any number

Start the miner and see what the Claymore miner window shows

Also, you should try tweaking the -dcri intensity value when dual mining, it can make a lot of difference. I went from 6.50/day to 9.50/day on my 1080 Ti. To tweak it, while mining click on the miner window (have to uncheck hide miners) and hit + or - on your keyboard. You will see a message come up "-dcri set to ##". Keep playing with that value and watch the NHM window to see if your profit goes up or down. When you find the right number go to the settings for that algorithm and put -dcri <your number> in the additional launch options.

OK..manual setings of hasing power helps...It work normaly ....only benchmark have problem...interesting
BTW thx a lot :)

Make sure to manually update the hashrates in the settings too when you land on a better -dcri value so NHM knows for switching

You're welcome!

@DillonN my problem actually is more related to nicehash/NiceHashMiner#907 The Claymore third party drivers do not appear for the nVidia Tesla. So this may need fixed first then the Dualminers will have more of a potential to display/work

Sorry i not understand how to make Exe from github files
can u upload the complete program
thank you

Hi thanks for the pull so it means, this pull gives full integration, and nicehash switching will work when for example dagger+sia will be more profitable than Lbry for example ? Benchmarks work ?

Thanks a lot

Please wait for the repo owners to review the changes and test them.
They don't want to break anything when they merge the pull, which is understandable.
If you can not wait, then there is an unofficial Nicehash client that supports Nvidia dual mining:

Excellent work and thanks so much for getting this pulled together! @DillonN

Can't wait for this to get implemented. :)

In the meantime (for others to reference too), running Claymoredual directly (which doesnt help with the switching the GUI allows but it works for now)

Look no more i went the effort to patch it add some other features (EWBF Zec and SIA) Webmanager and others, built it. you can check it out here :) keep on hashing :):

@S74nk0 as part of this pull could you also update Claymore Dual to 9.5 please? #1013

Thank you so much again for the amazing tool!

@computeronix I noticed you were working with Tesla GPUs. Have you been able to mine with stability and get good benchmarks with one? I am curious as to whether anyone has been able to bench a Titan Xp (Pascal) as well. I cannot find any actual benchmarks on any of those. I only seem to find folks making "theories" based on a GTX 1080 TI.

yes will provide a score on the next miner update
