@ghostlander said in Mining... am I doing it right?:
It doesn’t matter much what driver version is in use. All CUDA miners have kernels built at the compile time by a specific CUDA toolkit.
but it does matter. eg, using alexis with driver newer than 184.xx gives only half of hashrate and does not matter how is intensity set. It has something to do with used CUDA version. I am windows user and I am not able to compile ccminer directly to my system, so I would depend on what is available on the internet.
If I use later driver than 184 and want to use alexis - it gives me max about 450kh/s.
Using tpruvot with the latest driver gives me back about 770kh/s.
