This is why i leave miners running unless something BIG happens, they're running now mostly on 11.6 except for rigs with more than 4 cards unless 12.0 brings a huge jump in performance or allows better overclocking/lower temperatures somehow it's not worth the effort, how long does that 4mh boost take to cover an hour of downtime when you're already at 1gh per rig?
It takes an hour to install a driver?
to do it "properly" does take some time.
now if you just slap the new driver over the old and reboot.. well that takes less time but sometimes
causes a lot of havoc.
and deslok makes a really good point.. of just how long does it take for an extra 4 mh/s to make up for
a 1 gh/s box being down for an hour?
i think it would be about 10-11 days.
1000 mh x 60 seconds x 60 minutes = 3,600,000 mh/hr
4 mh x 60 seconds x 60 minutes = 14400 mh/hr
3,600,000 14400 = 250 mh/hr
250 mh/hr 24 hours = 10.41 days at 4 mh/s
rough math. i prob made a mistake. dunno. need to think it through more.
