Nvidia Cards has proven to serve among the best hashrates in cryptocurrency mining, dealing with mining and get upto date is the hardest job of miners. Since the increase of DAG Pool size of cryptocurrency mining blocks, it’s getting harder day by day to mine the cryptocurrency.

Since the increase of DAG file size, we miners can observe slightly less hashrates as compare to that we were having a month ago.

Getting driver and BIOS upto date might help the hashrates, AMD cards to prove to show the hashrates after updating the drivers to latest. How To Fix Ethereum DAG Hashrates Drop | Official Mining Drivers Are Out!
