1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help: GTX 970 Usage fluctuating on: August 19, 2021, 01:41:35 PM
Gtx970s works better on older Nvidia drivers, new drivers are for fixing issues on RTX GPUs, try older drivers like the 3** series and use Nicehash mining software instead, this will benchmark your GPU for mining and use the best most profitable algorithm for your 970

I tried installing 3 versions of 3** driver (348, 352 and 358) but none of them made my gpu recognizable, idk why. However, using the latest drivers, NiceHash detects the GPU and it mines at 100% usage constant in time.


No this old nvidia GPU´s have also such option in driver. Newer Nvidia cards didn´t have this. I only know the GTX9x0 series.

Ethash performance goes also up to 21mh for zilliqa mining. Before changing this i get only 3mh or so.

Lol there is nothing to confirm, i confirm it, because i changed this setting in my driver and i see hashrate increased after changing this  Roll Eyes and i described this in the past, but mostly people give a shit about my advices  Cheesy


THIS IS THE SOLUTION!! Thank you! Now with all the miners the GPU goes to 100% usage. Mining raven with t-rex i now get 3.9/4 MH/s (vs 1.5/1.6 MH/s as before)... is it good or not?
Thank you again!

What is your operating system and driver?
It is advisable to use Windows 10 if you are mining.

I am using Windows 10 Pro, the gpu drivers are the latest from NVidia, 471.68

Check out the settings from this video

I'll take a look, thanks

And what abput hashrate? is it fluctuating too?

No, it is nearly constant at a low value I guess (1.5/1.6 MH/s).

Hi, I’ve started trying hobby-mining with my home pc.
I’ve tried mining RavenCoin through many miners (gminer, t-rex miner, phoenix miner) but all have shown the same problem: as soon as I start mining, my MSI GTX 970 gpu usage starts fluctuating between 0 and 100% while power stays around 50% (https://ibb.co/XLCXBqk).

I already tried to increase paging file size and to force the gpu going in p0 state, with no success.

Any Ideas?
Thank you
