Hey guys,
I am getting a low GPU utilization when mining ETN. Power draw for the cards, 1070's is pretty low, but hashing at 650 h/s each. Been mining ZCL and ZEN, but change to ETN and power drops and keep seeing this for all different cards in the miner watchdog.

Are you using the nvoc 19-2.0 Community Release?
There was some implementation to calculate percentage of the actual utilization.
If you are running on 19-2.0 and still getting this, it seems some miners on some algos are not fully utilizing the GPU's.
Unfortunately there isn't an easy and quick fix for this. We will have to rewrite the watchdog to account for situations like this. Hopefully we will have something to fix this for the next release.
