quoting @eshbeata

i'm using the built release it worked with the old cuda not sure why
and it always [23:28:37][0x00007fffe30433c0] Speed [15 sec]: 0 I/s, 0 Sols/s
Any specific solution here?
  1. What is your graphics card?
  2. Which miner (nheqminer-cpu, gpu or old) are you using?
  3. Do you have CUDA toolkit installed?
  4. What is your CUDA driver version (System Preference)?
  5. Can you paste the output of the following commands (only the miner you'll be using is enough)
$ ./nheqminer-gpu -ci
$ ./nheqminer-old -b -cd 0 -cv 1
$ ./nheqminer-gpu -b -cd 0

I received
Speed [15 sec]: 1.13333 I/s, 1.73333 Sols/s

way less than my CPU. I know my GPU is not really god but should do better than that. (I will upgraded it soon, but in the mean time I wanto to use this one)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
miner: OLD
Yes I do have CUDA installed
CUDA Version: 8.0.83

@Edig unfortunately currently best nheqminer GPU solvers supports Compute Capability > 5.0 (you may check the list here https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) which means GeForce 9xx series minimum.

I added older Tromp GPU solver builds (nheqminer-old), although they work on older GPU's (and sometimes don't) the hashrate is not really good.

I will suggest giving an OpenCL miner a try (https://github.com/justvanbloom/silentarmy), @denics recommended this in one of the closed issues.

Hope that helps.

SM 3.0 is supported starting 786a2c8
