Post by: Thno17 on October 28, 2017, 12:18:40 PM

currently im mining with 2 Fury x with the driver 15.3..
the problem is that im mining and playing video games (dont ask why plz).. and now i want to update my drivers in order to play newer games.
the problem is that i cant mine well with the newer drivers.. (the speed is lower by 20%)..
do u have any solution for this? thanks.

you can use the -i option with claymore and lower intensity so you can play games and mine at the same time.
and who said you need the latest drivers..to play games :)

for example i want to play wolfenstein 2 and i cant play it with the old driver. tried to play it with the newer driver and it worked perfectly but i wasnt able to mine zcash good back again, so i went back to the older driver.

Don't say you don't know other miners for red cards. Please.

Just mine ETH with your Fury instead.

You may try optiminer, but it can be slower than claymore

optiminer requires older driver too..

Yes there are others, but they are worse than CM.
Except optiminers, but the guy can't use it either.

Probably you won’t like my proposition, but I will prompt you something.

There are two simple decisions to solve this problem.

The first one — you choose what is more important to you — playing games or earning while mining.

 Another one is to get another device. Use it for mining (with right drivers), especially if you have great plans for getting good money and play on your notebook or computer.
