Has anyone found a solution for windows 8.1 to fix the launch config issues with nvidia cards?
eg. launch config for memory allocation needs to be lower in win 8.1 compared to win 7 (no clue why).
sp mentioned the issue as well, afaik.
(eg. crypotnight and scrypt-jane algos lose 10-20% performance).
A launch config of -l t64x1 (scrypt-jane) does work flawlessly on win 7 but you wont be able to start it with win 8.1.
No, linux is not a solution for me
, maybe win 10 works?
Win 7 is not a solution either cuz it sucks for mining burst
.
I haven't tried win8 for mining but maybe this explains it, not sure:

i used to ( and still am to windows 7 extent ) a windows 'professional' - in that onsite service and network infrastructure consultant ... windows based for a long time ...
i stayed in business for almost 20 years due to the uselessness of windows on a technical basis ... still am employed contractually for 'smaller' jobs and networks ...
moving some of my clients off their windows backend to linux proved priceless ( RHEL based servers and some fedora based clients unless windows based apps were required - which is usually the case ) ...
moving the miners to linux proved priceless also - hence the farm and its quick growth ...
for those NOT able to move to linux ( or just plainly refuse to ) the best way to avoid issues is to standardize the operating environment you have ( whether it be home or business ) to the most stable windows system - in this case windows 7 at the moment ... there is a VERY good reason why most corporates DONT upgrade for many years when microsoft release a new version - and it has nothing to do with cost ... its all about stability ...
this is also true with mining / crypto in general ... and is prevalent for households too ...
if you CAN build a separate mining system ( s ) - then linux should be your preference ... it will make your life SO much easier with mining ...
my two bits of btc worth ...
