No Longer Detecting GTX 970's !!!!!!!! #1158

After upgrading to the most recent miner it no longer detects my GTX 970's. I tried reverting back, but it would still not detect them. Please help as I am losing money every day that these cards are not working.

I got it working, but like others if the computer ever shuts down NiceHash will stop recognizing the cards. Then I have to reinstall the drivers for NiceHash to recognize them again. I don't understand why I need to reinstall each time it should just recognize the cards to begin with.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what is your daily return off of your 970 with NiceHash? My cards even after overclocking are returning about $0.5 per card per day less than what would be expected off of their calculator. I understand that the calculator is not perfect but losing that much money a day is huge! Based off of their hashrate I should be making around $6.20 at least (based on a vareity of calculators), but with NiceHash it is dropping below $5 regularly. They were also making $8 a day before the update so could that be the issue? I've tried ethminer, claymore, and minergate aswell and all are either faulty or crash, leaving me back at NiceHash. Thanks for your help. Any tips to help improve my hashrate or daily return would be great. I'll leave with this one last thing the NiceHash calculator says that the most profitable currency to mine right now is ethereum which makes sense, but it continues to mine zcash. Even after switching it over to ethereum manually my return is very low. Any help getting NiceHash working properly with ethereum would be immensely appreciated. If you read through all of this thank you again!

Is this the miner that you are using. Also could you please inform on the best driver to use with Win 7 and NiceHash 1. Thank you so much. $4-6 was what I was hoping for I am making $5 a day right now with 4 of them. Lastly, in that miner did you benchmark and then let it run or did you manually select an algorithm to run, if so which one.

-Once, again Thank You So Much!

Lastly, is there anyway that you could put you nicehash legacy folder on dropbox, google drive, or mega and share a link. I can't find anywhere to download it and there are no releases posted on github for download.

I've never tried NiceHash for my 970, only Genoil's miner (Win10 latest version and most up to date Nvidia drivers), and I was getting about 18 MH/s for Ether (DaggerHashimoto) with a very solid overclock on the card. Honestly, I don't believe the predicted 22 MH/s on the link (https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc)... I'll probably try it sometime, but my primary miners are (5) GTX 1060 6GB cards, which it predicts at 20 MH/s, but run at 18-19 stock or about 22 overclocked. But a single GTX 970 is not going to earn $4/day even at 22 MH/s. How many GTX 970 cards are you running? Four?

Hi there, I would like to get your opinion about similar issue Mining rig out of 6 Nvidia Quadro 2000 and MSI N240GT MD1G/D5 GPUs. Intel Pentium G4560 CPU is the only detected hardware. Advise from NiceHash support team: Upgrade Windows, GPUs and CPU to the latest versions, check if hardware is supported : https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashHardware#nvidia, Try NHM Legacy. All done the problem still persists. Do you think NiceHash latest versions or Legacy has something problems, any advise is welcomed.
