Nicehash Benchmark Error

[asgerollgaard]

Hi there,

My GPU wont benchmark all of the algorithms i am using. Every time i benchmark with my GPU, it says that there are en error during benchmark. This happens to almost all algorithms, and not just DaggerHashimoto (the current algorithm i am using).
I have tried almost all of the things nicehash's blog post instructs, meaning that i have checked my GPU for any overlock, i have disabled firewall and tried reinstalling my GPU NVIDIA driver.
I do not know what more to do. I have also switched algorithm multiple times, but the GPU just doesn't want to benchmark. At this point, i have no clue of what to do next to make this work properly.

Additionally, i have also increased my GPUs VRAM.

I hope you can figure this out. It really bothers me.

Best Regards,

Asger Øllgaard

Make sure you are running Nicehash miner as an Administrator!

Have you successful run the miner and mine with the card before? If yes you need to delete the benchmark data in the benchmark area, press delete and restart benchmark again, it should work now

Same as me!  My computer caught Nicehash Benchmark Error!

Are you running the latest nicehash mining software? You might want to check that out first, if it's old better download the latest, I'm currently running on nicehash still and no problem since the past 26 hours now

Even though i disabled firewall and antivirus it would still flag up the various miners in nicehash and stop them working. Add all the miner plugins to the relevant “exclusion” folder in your antivirus first.

Could be one of the card is bad or a riser is bad, I think you should remove all the cards and the risers and start trying them on the motherboard one by one with just one riser, if all cards works well on mining start changing the risers one by one too

make sure no other cards are already mining.
make sure the cpu is not mining.

try the bench mark on other servers

go to settings (the gear)

pick general

scroll down to localization

there is

USA-San Jose
Europe - Amsterdam
China-Hong Kong
Japan-Tokyo
India-Chennal
Brazil-Sao Paulo


try them one by one

I live in New Jersey

I have found Europe and San Jose  and Brazil to work as I am around 3000-4000 miles from each of them.
