PhoenixMiner suddenly stopped working after I updated the nvidia drivers to version 460.79
It seems 460.79 is not good driver:

Can confirm I also installed the latest nvidida driver, it posts gpus then immediately exits program.


PSA: Do not update to NVIDIA GeForce 460.79 drivers!
Dear miners!

We urge you to not update your GPU drivers if you are mining with NVIDIA graphics cards. It looks like the latest GeForce 460.79 drivers cause problems and do not recognize the graphics card(s) in the system.

If you have already updated to the latest version, please revert back to the previous one and it should resolve the issues.

Trex posted just now the new version compatible with the new driver

did anyone compare TREX vs Phonex on TRX 3000 series?  does TREX still get higher hash

per this article, TREX  and phonex 5.1 were compared and the Trex was getting around 3% more,
