Poor hashrate w/ Claymore miner Win 10

[skeelol]

Haven't fired up my miner in a couple months. Did today and only getting 3MH/s max compared to the normal 18 or 20. Keeps alternating between 1.764 and 3.032 actually. Win 10 is fully up to date. Originally got Opencl driver missing, so reinstalled those drivers along with Nvidia driver update to latest v388. Card is 980 GTX.

Using the following:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal (wallet addy) -epsw x -mode 1

Any suggestions?

Go for a patch session with M$.

I had issues with Windows and was getting the same hash rates on Wends morning realized it was patch Tuesday.

Patched the system, rebooted and picked my hashs back up.

Probably a driver issue. I had a similar problem few months ago, did a clean reinstall of the NVIDIA driver and it took care of it.

I am still experiencing the problem. I've upgraded drivers several times and chose clean install. From researching it seems the problem is caused in Win 10 by not having the 'Creators Update' version, however this problem started right after Win 10 was updated to that version.

In Nvidia Control panel I have Power mgmt mode set to Prefer max performance. If I set Optimize computer performance to on, Claymore spits out the 'cannot allocate big buffer for dag' error when starting.

Anybody have any other suggestions to get Claymore working properly again?

What version of windows 10 you've installed, suggested version is 1703, you may check control panel/system/about if you have Windows version 1703

Some users make it stable on these setups, A clean Windows install+FCU, AMD 17.11.2 and Claymore's miner

Well what the hell, I know I checked my Win 10 version and I am certain it said the version that was Fall Creators update. But today I do reboot for a Windows update and now it tells me FCU was installed. Yet still, I cannot seem to achieve anymore than 11Mh/s hashrate. Used DDU to uninstall and reinstall Nvidia drivers too this time, which made missing opendll.dll go away. Nothing I do can get me back to my original hash rate, I think it's time to give up
