I can set the drivers to not update in win10. Which nvidia drivers are the most stable?
Can anyone please confirm which drivers are the best for 6 * nVidia GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8GB for Windows 10 & EWBF nVidia.miner.0.3.4b. Is seems like whenever I go above driver version "385.41-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql" the miner becomes unstable and i have to reduce the OC. Thanks No reason to use anything more recent than 373.06 on a mining machine, unless you have 1080 ti cards or 1070 ti cards that aren't supported by that old of a driver version (possibly some of the Pascal-based Titan version as well). I'm running Nvidia driver version 388.00 seems to be working fine on Win10. But I'm looking for an Nvidia website for the changes.. and looks like mostly game and sli updates.

Widespread testing among the FAH community came to the conclusion that 373.06 was the most stable for FAH usage (which indicates it should also be highly stable for mining as both put very heavy loads on a GPU) while maintaining full PPD (FAH version of hashrate).
There's less agreement about driver version for the cards that have been released since that driver version was released as there's been less time and fewer cards tested to date.

Thanks Quint' for this insight, it's interesting to know !

Are you starting something else up around that point? Even opening a WEB BROWSER seems to cause what you're seeing in Windows.

Yes i use my PC normaly like browsing, wathing youtube, movies etc. maybe i put too much memory or core clock? On Stock it is working fine. ~730 Sol/s. I have 1000W PSU so that is not a problem. I saw somewhere that they have core clock at stock and 5300 on Memory ( Afterburner ) but i was putting +300 and there is 50 or 60 more that 5300. if i dont find solution i will leave that at stock... I have Asus Strix OC edition GTX 1080 Ti

nope, I'm using simple script for it, I don't think it needs this complex solutions, dunno.
Anyways I was asking earlier but didn't got the answer, I was wondering if anyone found a solution for monitoring several rigs and even farms in one instance, one web interface, or something like claymore's monitoring system for bunch of miners?
Have not checked out the Claymore monitoring system, but depending on what you need to monitor I did some easy code for multiple instances of the EWBF --api function a few pages back. This could probably be tweaked and sorted for any on/off-site miners running, but I currently only used it for monitoring my on-site rigs. Take a look at the screenshot posted by matmator in post #4760 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.msg22395458#msg22395458

No, it's a Windows thing - I see the same sort of thing on the Aorus in my "gaming" machine - only run it at +100 +100 in Afterburner, 100% TDP - and it drops to about 160 watts as soon as I start up a game OR a web browser or much of anything else EXCEPT mining software. Plus side - it's dropping into it's EFFICIENT range when that happens, and not dopping a ton of hashrate.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, I'll revert and see. btw.. what it the FAH community?

Doesn't seem to be one for a machine that is used for other things that grab the video card.

One thing to note, if you use the drivers 373.06 you will not be able to use any miner compiled with CUDA9, stick with CUDA8. I agree that this driver for GPU's 1070 and under seems to give the best result as hashrate and stability goes.

Has EWBF been on here at all? It's a great miner but it needs an auto-restart function. I think his competition is still actively working on their miner. If he doesn't do some improvements, I think he'll start losing money.

Hi, I have 24 Nvidia 1070 cards and one of these cards gives me 0 sol in every Equihash algorithms.Also tested multiple drivers and windows 10 versions and my 2 year mining experience didn't help me either.This card works perfectly on every algorithms such as ethash (32 mhs on ethereum).Moreover, I disabled overclocking completely but still have this 0 sol issue.This rig that this gpu is on has 6gpus when I use (--cuda_devices 0 1 3 4 5) command all of my 5 gpus give around 450 hash but when remove this code in order to mine with 6 gpus, that specific gpu chooses solver 3 and makes all 6 cards 0 sol!! please give me a solution Peace

He hasn't been replying on this topic for months, but seems to connect since his last activity is today, quite odd. And i agree, dtsm is already there, and just a couple improvement like backup pool, will make EWBF obsolete for most miner, even with the mandatory 2% dev-fee.

I think dstm and ewbf are the same person. Once the community discovered how to disable fee from ewbf, magically dstm miner appears with improves speed but devfee inside

But it can be ! we'll never know :p
