Title: Is there anyone know, how mining with Nvidia GTX 950M effective
Post by: thenguyen81 on April 06, 2018, 10:32:22 AM
I am a newbie miner and are learning with my card "Nvidia GTX 950M" available
I tried to test ETN :
1. install CUDA tookit
2. install driver for my card
3. use tool : xmr-stak-win64  (for testing only)

Wonder...how efficient mining...because it was 30-50H/s

I saw this  : https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/14669/howto-efficient-mining-ether-with-nvidia-gpu-windows-10-uptodate-drivers
But my problem is :
I can not open nvidia-smi.exe (just shut down immediately after startup)... I re-installed a few driver version for  NVIDIA GeForce GTX such as : 353.62; 381.65; 391.35. <- can not open also.

So I was stuck there...what should i do ?

Do you really want to kill your laptop? I do not suggest mining on mobile cards due to the lack of good cooling.
 
If you really want to try mining ETN, make it simple :

This is what I would do.
Use this pool etn.spacepools.org
Download ccminer

Follow the instructions on the pool website to configure your card and go.

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions or check this thread :

Good luck ;)

Even better graphic cards nowadays can't produce any profit after deducting the power bills. You're only wasting time and losing money on this.
