The next Lolminer update to version 1.64 will be interesting for Kaspa cryptocurrency miners, because. for certain models of video cards, the increase in hashrate is up to 8.5 percent compared to the previous revision. In addition to increasing the hash rate, the Core Offset (--Coff) function has been added in version 1.64, which allows you to reduce the power consumption of video cards in mining by lowering the operating frequency of the GPU.
The new command --moff lowers the frequency of the memory, --pl - limits the power limit of the video card, --fan - sets a fixed fan speed. And the --no-oc-reset command resets all default settings when exiting the miner. To use the new graphics card management functionality in Lolminer, you must first update the NVidia drivers to version 520 and newer.
Video cards Nvidia Pascal (GTX1000) received an increase in Kaspa hashrate by 8-8.5%
Nvidia Turing (RTX2000) and Ampere (RTX3000) gain 4.5-5%
AMD Navi (RX5000) and Big Navi (RX6000) gain 3-4%
Hashrate comparison between two versions of Lolminer
GeForce RTX 3070:
lolminer 1.63: 564 МH/s — 120 W — 1710/810
lolminer 1.64: 596 Мh/s — 95 W --coff 300
GeForce RTX 3080:
lolminer 1.63: 877 Мh/s — 190 W — 1800/810
lolminer 1.64: 919 Мh/s — 160 W --coff 250
GeForce RTX 3090:
lolminer 1.63: 1031 Мh/s — 200 W — 1800/807
lolminer 1.64: 1079 Мh/s — 160 W --coff 350
The --coff parameter depends on the specific video card and can vary widely, but usually values in the range of 250-350 are optimal between the maximum possible reduction in power consumption and stability.
