Occasional freezes with 1.62 and RTX 2070 / GTX 1060 6G
Unfortunately, yes, I also noticed the unstable operation of the latest version of the miner. I have a GTX 1060 6g, the developers apparently pay more attention to the new models of video cards.
After using 1.62 since release, my hashrates have went down. I continued to use it assuming it may have been the difficulty, but it really should not have decreased that much imho.
I went back to 1.59 and things work as I'm used too suddenly.
I will also follow your example and return to an earlier version. In addition to unstable operation, the hash rate actually decreased. I hope the developers pay attention to this.
