Hello, I have a problem And I have no idea why is that


its only in Neoscrypt Algo    

So the power Usage of the Cards   1  and 2   its  unstable and it affects the speed by about  100-150 Each  but only on these 2 cards


the same cards on have stable power usage on Equihash

and it happened I think today  since a month  its fine


but its only in Neoscrypt  no idea why


Screen shot  of Card one with unstable power usage    +stable power usage on equihash

Have you tried running in default settings just to ensure that the card works fine? Other issue i can think of is Riser.

to the Second reply  Yes

I could try the riser


But   Why only in Neoscrypt I don't get it


Eventually I will try a New Riser but I don't have for the moment spare riser

I need to copy this into my signature because I say this so many times.  Here goes.  Get yourself a power supply tester. They are cheap and can come in handy for troubleshooting when power-related problems come up.  Good ones are anywhere from $10-$15.  Risers are something you need to keep on hand.  If you wait until there is a problem to replace them then you could be waiting weeks or months.  When everyone was scrambling to get graphics cards a few months ago there was a 4 to 6 week wait on risers.  The ones that were available for immediate shipment were 10X the normal price.  If you are going to be mining, the best time to get replacement parts is when your rig is running smoothly.  Downtime equals a loss of profits.  I'm not saying get replacement backups for everything, but it's hit or miss on risers. Power supplies would be next on my list.

If you don't have replacement riser now, switch the cards around so different cards are running off the same risers and power supply.  If after the switch the same cards 1 and 2 are having problems I'd look at the power supply.  

Edit:  Are they all the same make and model cards?

Windows update pushed nvidia drivers today.  Make sure you reset your OC settings or roll back your driver and disable windows update.
