Nicehash v2.0.1.8 looping on benchmark after failing

[Z4A1]

So after the new update this morning my Nicehash will start the benchmark and then just loop at failed benchmark message. I disabled NeoScrypt and I atleast got the thing to start mining again so I don't think it was Nist5.. The main problem now is that my Daily estimated earnings have dropped dramatically from where they were and I know that I usually am running Neoscrypt on atleast a couple GPUs. Anybody else struggling with this?

I'm also having this issue this morning. I`ve updated to 2.0.1.8 and I keep looping at the benchmarking failed for Nist5. I have resolved on using another miner while this is fixed.

Yea same problem here. @Z4A1 How did you disable Neoscrypt? I'm new to this so a little help would be appreciated...Thanks!

I went into mining details (when mining off), then you click on the gpus you want to adjust and it shows all of the scripts they are running (pardon if not to correct terminology) and towards the bottom of each drop-down you'll see NeoScrypt and just turn it off with the slider button. Hope that helps!

@Z4A1 Thanks, man! That worked...

Subscribed hoping for a solution other than disabling neoscrypt

I had the same issue with Neo, turns out its the allocated virtual memory that Windows runs. You need to change the Windows Swap File to the equivalent amount of memory your GPU's and ram total. You can find this is your system settings under System Properties, Advanced tab, Performance, Settings, Performance Options, Virtual Memory, Change. For example I'm running 6 GTX 1080's 8g with 8g ram. 6g x 8g + 8g = 56g + allow 4-5g for variation, so I ended up with 61440mb initial and 65536mb max. Never had a problem with Neo after changing the swap file. I'm not sure why but apparently Neo uses a lot more pc processing power than GPU processing power. Hope this helps. Swap File Details.docx
