Last 2 or 3 version of  NiceHash Miner takes a huge time (up to 10 hrs) for 3 card benchmark Shocked

I'm really impressed!


When we add new miners, it naturally takes more time to benchmark as benchmark must run through all available miners (even more miners per algorithm now).
Our devs are always working towards speeding up benchmark time. Sometimes this can't be achieved as successfully as planned.

Thank you for your feedback as every comment is helping us to deliver better software in the future.


you should more thoroughly test your miner before you release it.

this miner seems to only work well with my nVidia cards (three GTX1070).

as for the AMD cards, the only cryptos that seem to work well with this miners are the ones from Claymore.  Though  the benchs on sgminer, etherminer, and optiminer work (sporadically), they don't mine.
for optiminer, it continuously closes without mining.  for sgminer, and etherminer for daggerhashimoto, the NiceHashMiner software shows that i'm mining and it gives me a hashrate, but on the nicehash website, it shows i'm hashing between 0-25% of what the miner software indicates.  

if i only choose claymore's miners, then everything is ok.

since you are having difficulties with any miner except claymore's miners for AMD's cards, can you implement Claymore's etherhash miner?

the only thing i can see that might make a difference, is that my one AMD system that does show hashrate correctly on the website for daggerhashimoto has 16.6 drivers, but the five AMD systems that i have that shows a drastically decreased or zero hashrate on the Nicehash website for daggerhashimoto has 16.12.1 and above drivers.  Even though all systems show the "correct" hashrate on the NiceHashMiner, there is a drastic difference on the nicehash website.

Claymore recommends the latest drivers for RX480 cards for equihash and so those are the drivers i'm using.
