Edit: Turbokrist has been released!

I've been working on a GPU accelerated miner for Krist, and it's coming along quite well...



These speeds are from running it on an EVGA GTX 760 with little optimization.

Mind sharing the code?

Not sharing it at all yet. Still under heavy development.

It works very well with SLI too ! Though this is quite expensive to run... a single GPU takes up around 85% TDP. For the GTX 760 Ti this is 144.5W, double that amount to 289W since there's two GPUs. It'd cost me 1.12€/month to run for 1 hour every day (assuming electricity costs 13ct/kWh).

It doesn't actually care about SLI at all - it will use each device individually. If you had two graphics cards installed, but no SLI, it would still work fine. In fact, having it use SLI instead of each device individually would probably decrease performance, if anything.

I could test it on a 970 for ya if you wanted.

Not likely to happen until release. Sorry!

Worth a shot

When do you plan to release?

Once I finish ironing out bugs.

When will that be?

[apemanzilla]

That will be once I'm satisfied with how it runs and it no longer crashes the GPU driver.

Brand new R9 390 has broken 1 GH/s!

i wonder how this would perform on a macbook air

I wonder how this would perform on my dead GPU *cries*

Not too well, but I'd say it would work at least as well, if not better, than a CPU-based miner. I've reached 3 MH/s on the integrated graphics of an Intel Atom in my laptop

Approximately 0 hashes per second I would guess...

How did it break? Overheating?

Is there no way to repair it? (As to reach 1 hash/s)

It stopped working last summer, not doing anything intensive, 10 minutes after bootup, this happens https://dl.dropboxus...828/ripgpu.jpeg
It's an ATI Radeon HD 6990M 2GB on an old Alienware m17xR3 (yes I know)
I still have the GPU laying around in case somebody can prove to me there's no way to recover it

Bake it in the oven for a bit. No, I'm not kidding.

You have got nothing to lose by following a hoax!

Also, the dropbox picture is very sad.

Baking a GPU is a well-known last ditch attempt. If you do it properly, it can reflow the solder just enough to restore connections that may have been broken with time.
