I'm getting these errors with 4.5c on 8x p106 rig :
NVAPI error in NvapiWrapper.c:445 : -6
Unable to load NvAPI: error 3
Eth: the pool list contains 1 pool (1 from command-line)
Eth: primary pool: eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444

GPU2: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 131072
GPU3: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 262144

GPU6: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 458752
GPU7: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 524288
GPU8: unable to init NvAPI with bus ID 589824
After these errors , Miner seems work like 4.2c
Any idea ?
you can use this driver version for the P106-100 nvidia then this problem on phoenixminer is gone.
REMEMBER: to make it work you must have at least 4-th generation Intel Core CPU with integrated video. Also you must certainly enable iGPU at BIOS (32-64 MB will be enough). And I don't know the way how to start OpenGL games on these mining cards.
Some BIOS require additional configurating.
Now follow these steps:
Download 417.22 NVIDIA driver (without installing it): download nv_disp.info
https://github.com/iiiyx/p106-100-p104-100/archive/master.zipI guess this one is the latest, where NVIDIA didn't disable the FEATURE.
Right click on it and Extract all to some dir using any archive manager (7zip for example). Let's call this dir YOUR_EXTRACTED_DRIVER_DIR
Open nv_dispi.inf from YOUR_EXTRACTED_DRIVER_DIR/Display.Driver
Find and "replace all" strings exactly "= Section110," with exactly "= Section108,"
Also replace "= Section109," with "= Section107," Yes, these strings start with equals sign followed by space (= ) and end with comma (,)
Additional required steps:
Disable automatic driver updates: regedit -> Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching -> SearchOrderConfig = 0
Also check Your computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation settings -> No (your device might not work as expected) must be set
Enable testsinging -> run cmd or powershell (by admin) -> enter the command bcdedit /set testsigning on. You will see something like The operation completed successfully.
Uninstall existing NVIDIA drivers using DDU (google: display driver uninstaller) with reboot
After reboot complete - Run the driver installer from YOUR_EXTRACTED_DRIVER_DIR -> setup.exe
Disable Geforce experience, click Next, Yes or whatever, choose Custom install and Make clean installation, wait for the prompt and confirm you want install this driver anyway. Wait until it finishes.
Disable testsigning -> run cmd or powershell (by admin) -> enter the command bcdedit /set testsigning off. You will see something like The operation completed successfully.
Reboot
Still encountering this issue with version 4.9c (GPU: P106-100 with newest driver from Nvidia), please help, thank you.
