I was thinking about ether mining with Claymore in nanopool.
Yes, I know 960 is an old card but I bought it in 2015 and I will not change it at the moment.

I tried to mine but I get about 2,750 Mh/s. I heard some people saying that with the same card they get about 10 Mh/s.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to install another driver? What's the best driver? How much will I earn daily in Ethereum? Do I have to overclock it?

Config.
CPU: AMD FX 8320 4,0Ghz
GPU: MSI GTX 960 4GB
RAM: 16GB 1866 Mhz
HDD: 2x WD Black 1TB and Seagate 150GB
SSD: Sasmung 250GB
O.S: Windows 10

I'm noob here so I need help. Thanks

Definitely not worth it IMO. At this point just use the GPU for what you originally bought it for Tongue

If you want to make it work try this https://steemit.com/mining/@fidasx/fixing-windows-10-ethereum-mining. It is definitely a windows issue i run triple systems just to check for my own sanity before I mod crap that dont need to be changed

If you have cheap power at about 0.07 cents per KWH
You get a grand total of loosing about 16 cents a day.

Maybe you can make it up in volume  Cheesy
