nicehash stability problems and low combined hashrate.

[nic202]

Hey,
I recently got my 4 x 1070ti mining rig up and running on windows 10, but im having some issues with nicehash. When benched marked my gpus are clocking 1.35 mh/s on neoscrypt yet when i run all 4 of them i get a combined rate of 2.7 mh/s. thats the speed i should get with 2 gpus, not 4.

Also nicehash continues to crash and freeze my computer every 2 mins and i have to restart my rig. I tried increasing the virtual memory to 50000 (i only have 4g of ram) and changed my overclock settings back to default. Still freezes constantly when mining.

This all makes me want to change to linux, but i dont have much time to change what i mine every day and end of up having a tonne of random coins. Is there something like nicehash for linux??

Thanks.

You can mine to nicehash directly with all of the major mining executable on linux. You just dont get the ultra lazy windows front end.

Will nicehash still change algorithms and coins for the most profitable one if run on Linux?

No but profit switching is a waste of time anyway. You dont want to mine and convert everything instantly. That is not how you make a profit when GPU mining. You mine a coin you think will be going up in value, then sell when it does. If you are constantly converting you are just throwing away money on the daily basis.

The thing i liked about getting a daily btc payment was the ability then to reinvest that bitcoin into crypto currencies that i saw value in. wouldnt that be a more efficient way of maximising profit?

use smos and mine directly to ethhash or equihash depending on if youre using amd or nvidia. i use dstm getting 720sols ish / 1080ti
