Hi @PhoenixMiner,

Which driver version you are recommend to use for GTX1080 on Windows 7?
   We don't test on Windows 7 anymore but probably older driver will be better as neither 1080 nor Windows 7 are spring chickens Wink One thing to be aware of is that some users have reported low speed (like 50% lower than normal) with Nvidia cards on Windows 7, which can only be fixed by increasing the physical RAM (i.e. the DIMM module(s) on the motherboard!) to at least 8 GB. Strangely enough, increasing the page file size does not help - apparently some kind of driver bug. There is no such problem on Windows 10.

Thanks and I'm sorry. I wanted to as about drivers for GTX1070 on Win 7. I have 8GB physical RAM (2 * 4GB DIMM). But basing on your answer I think it does not matter in acase of Win 7 if I use 1070 or 1080. I have problem that my mining speed decreased and decreased each time. Only power limit increasing fixes it, but it costs additional electricity. If I will use win 10 I will not have these problems? Or may be it will be better to use HIVE OS (If in any case I should install other OS instead of Win 7)?
