Is anyone heaving issues with ZEC miner? I have 4 cards in one of my rigs: 1050ti, 1060 6G and 2x 1070 and it's running at full speed and after few minutes the mining speed drops to like 40% and after 2-3 minutes it's back to full speed and it's doing that over and over again...
I have all cards with around 70% tdp +140 clock and memory at stock.

I have tested a mixed 1070 and 1080ti rig; and a mixed 1050ti and 1060 rig.  I haven't tested a triple mixed: 1050ti, 1060, 1070.

To help isolate if this problem is EWBF related:  can you try mining a coin that doesn't use EWBF. 

Say:  DUAL_ETC_SC

(ensure you update your ETC and SC (SIA) addresses if you do this)

and tell me if you have the same problem.


It's only EWBF, ccminer and Claymores do not have this drop in hashing power.

In that case I think the problem is with EWBF not being able to handle the spread of cards properly.

I will release an updated version with the new EWBF + choice for EWBF version and other changes in a few days; which may have solved this problem.

For now you can try it on your rig by downloading it on the rig and replacing the miner application currently in the '/home/m1/zec' directory with the new one.

Let me know if the new version solved this problem.  If it didn't; there is another way I will probably implement for next version.
