What's new in version 15.0?
15.0
now the miner driver does not require switching Windows to test mode. If you want to disable the test mode, use the-driver uninstall command (with administrator rights) and restart the computer, then run the miner with administrator rights to automatically install a new driver if necessary (or directly use the-driver install command).
If you have any problems with a signed driver, you can use the key-driver install_test, it uses the old approach: enables test mode (requires a reboot) and installs an unsigned driver.
Added the-showpower parameter to track video card power consumption statistics, click "s" to see it. AMD and Nvidia cards are supported, with the exception of Linux gpu-pro drivers and Radeon7 cards.
Updated Remote Manager to display total power consumption.
Fixed an issue with the-logsmaxsize parameter when the-logfile parameter is used to specify a directory for log files
Several minor fixes and improvements.
Added support for using optimized memory timings (straps) "on the fly" in Windows, without flashing VBIOS (currently only Polaris, Vega, Nvidia 10xx cards), acceleration up to 20%.
The-strap feature really helps newcomers who don't want to re-flash their cards and lose their warranty.
With the help of a new feature-strap, video cards issue hashing speeds as stitched. I.e., the RX 570/580 outputs about 30-33 Mh/s instead of the standard 18 Mh / s.

Also, now the miner shows the power Consumption of video cards.
The-showpower command lets you display the video card's power consumption statistics when you press the " s " key. The default value is " 1 " (show energy consumption statistics), use-showpower 0 to hide.
The miner simply shows the values that the video driver returns. If the video driver reports an invalid value, you will see it. By the way, you should see the same values in the GPU-z program.
For nvidia, the power consumption is shown as mostly accurate, while for AMD, it largely depends on which driver is installed and shows "GPU core power consumption only".
It seems that while the miner takes the correct power consumption sensor only for the 1st video card. But for all others, you will need VCCDI Power Draw. We will keep track of updates and updates.
I reached ~ 56 MH/s with 1080TI. The miner seems stable at the moment.
I used -strap 4 with Pill and 5700Mhz memory overclocking. The energy consumption limit was PL 75% -80%.

Nice piece of write up there. I appreciate that. But did you take into consideration the price of the GPU? Nvidia GPUs these days cost an arm and a leg, plus you have to create some nice cooling arrangement. Check out the RX series and their prices, up to $2000.Can one turn a profit on that?
