New 372.54 Nvidia drivers released today.  No fix for maxwell win 10 poor eth performance unfortunately......

Tested here too, same hashrate still.
Claymore, can you please work this out?
Would be nice if besides our AMD rig, we could use your miner on our Nvidia one too.

The problem is not in the miner. The problem is in nvidia drivers. You have to use old drivers on Win10, new drivers don't work as they must do. But old drivers don't support cuda 7.5 which is used by the miner. So I have to release at least two versions of miner - for cuda 7.5 and for cuda 6.5. It's annoying, especially because I see less hashrate on cuda 6.5.

@claymore.  Still locks up with rx470. This round made it 10hr 42 min.  Always locks up on the Dev fee switch at random times of course. Opencl hang.  Have to shut computer down with power switch anytime this miner hangs which I feel is odd. The graphics card I am using for monitor isn't the rx470.  Not sure what can be done but looks like I'll go back to genoil. That miner doesn't have any loss in hash rate over 24hr and it just works.  Claymore can you do something like genoil where you can throw the opencl.dll into same directory as miner and it use that instead.  Seems to do the trick.

If you think that the problem is in drivers you can place driver files to the folder with miner. But it seems you mine not ETH and not EXP, so miner has to rebuild DAG every time and I don't see any ways to fix it if it hangs on your system. Perhaps you really need different miner for your coin.

I have mutiple versions of 470 cards , MSI, XFX, and a few Saphire OC cards all 4GB and they all work flawlessley with Calymore not the latest version the last one.

version of miner or display driver.. IM on 16.8.2 hotfix and v6cdm.. Couldnt get last version to work either.  Could you give some more info on your command line setup.. Are you serializing? or using a different intensity by chance.  TIA

Could be that its due to being a mix in my system of old and new.. I got a new msi mobo today with 7 pcie so i will start that build off with the rx470 by itself to eliminate any issue my home pc may have  Thanks for letting me know that at least someone is having a good exp with the miner and the new amd cards. gives me hope. Now i just have to figure out why genoil works and this one dont.  I let genoil run for 4 days and it never glitched.  hmmmm

I'm at work so i cant send my entire string I am using nanpool's stratup ports for SIA and ETH

I did not apply the hotfix version of the driver , I'm using the 16.7.3 driver on my two 470 only rigs ( one is 5 cards , one is six cards)

I think there is a problem with that driver though since I cant get the memory over 1700 speed on that driver and even when I max out the memory the hash rate is fixed at around 23mhs.  

What i did find is you can get the 470s to close to 24 mhs if you increase the power limit to +30% but the power usage jumps from 110 watts dual to over 150 watts so i still run the 470s at stock mem (since rasinng the mem seems to do nothing unlike the 480 cards) at around 20 mhs eth and 380 sia.

I have some 8gig 470s delivered today or tomorrow and hopefully the memory speed can be increased on those and actually makes a difference.

When i get home in a few hours i'll post my full claymore string and maybe that helps.

*** I just default eth intensity and 30 dcri  **
