Using a Win 10 based machine with a GTX 1660 Super 6GB. I have the correct pool and wallet info (same settings I use on my 3 other AMD cards in my other machines).

But the miner shuts down almost instantly after starting. This is the message I get from the log file.

main Phoenix Miner 6.2c Windows/msvc - Release build
main Cmd Line:
main CUDA version: 11.0, CUDA runtime: 8.0
main Initializing NVML...
main NVML library initialized
main NVML version: 11.516.40
main Nvidia driver version 516.40
main GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1160 Super: FHR (device id: 21C4)
main No OpenCL platforms found
main Available GPUs for mining:
main GPU1: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1160 Super (pcie 1), CUDA cap. 7.5, 6 GB VRAM, 22 CUs
main Eth: No valid pools specified in epools.txt
main Eth: No valid pools specified on command line or in epools.txt
main Exit code: 5

This is my first time trying to mine with an NVIDIA card. Any help with figuring out why this miner exits immediately is greatly appreciated.
Also, is there a setting in the NVIDIA video card software that needs to be changed from graphics to calculating, like the AMD cards have?



In your log the following lines gives you the clue.

main Eth: No valid pools specified in epools.txt
main Eth: No valid pools specified on command line or in epools.txt

Check carefully if you have setup the pools properly as there must a difference with your AMD rig.
Otherwise let show us what your command line is or config.txt/epools.txt
