Hello! I am incredibly new to ether mining and I could really use some help. So i'm mainly focusing on GPU mining which i'm using geth and ethminer to do. I've seen that with the GPU i'm using right now (GTX 950), I should be getting just around 10MHs. And the problem, i'm only getting 0.17! Now I think I know why this is happening and it's because of two reasons actually, and I can't seem to fix either of them. Problem #1. I'm pretty sure i'm trying to mine as if I had an AMD GPU, which I don't. when researching this I kept hearing about something called CUDA. If anyone could explain to me what this is and how it could help me, that would be appreciated . Problem #2. I've heard that most nVidia drivers mess up the speed of your hashing, so to combat that I downloaded the recommended driver for ether mining, but no matter what I do, no matter what the internet tells me to do, no matter ANYTHING, the installer always tells me "NVIDIA Installer cannot continue" "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Like I said i'm very new to ether mining and i'm just confused at this point, so if anyone has any idea on how to solve even only one of these problems, I will love your face. Forever. Thanks!
