Thanks to everyone here who helped me get my 1070ti rig up and running. Let's just say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by the extreme ease of setup and use of these Nvidia GPUs! Makes me kick myself for waiting so long to branch out from AMD.
I've had this rig running on ETH+DCR for a few days without 1 single crash or issue. I know that ETH is not the best use for these but wanted to try it out with a miner/coin i was very familiar with out of the gate.
Now that I know it's super stable, I was about to start mining ZClassic via MPH. But, I just realized that Claymore's Equihash miner is AMD-only, so I would like to ask for some recommendations for good Nvidia miners.
The 3 I have seen mentioned are EWBF, Silent Army, and Nicehash (I am not using NH is that makes a difference)... so was wondering what your experiences have been with these 3 and any others. Thanks!

EWBF, DSTM, and BMiner are the current Windows-based contenders.
Silent Army (zawata) is quite a bit behind the curve on equihash.
Nicehash uses EWBF as an external miner (and I think they added DSTM support in a recent version) and stopped developing their own equihash miner months ago.
I am still astounded at how easy setting up and running my Nvidia rig has been. Firstly, the drivers install in like 3 minutes... vs a about 20 for AMD. Since launching, it's been running 2-3 days on ETH+DCR then another 4+ on ZCL. In that time, not 1 crash, 1 restart... nothing! Running smooth, silent and cool non-stop since launching it! I cannot say anythign even close to that for my 470 rigs... even the 2 better ones lol. Needless to say, I am now a big fan of team green and not only will be selling my Vega's to eventually get more 1070ti's but also considering not building the 570 rig I've been collecting parts for. So much less to worry about with Nvidia, although certainly i have a small sample size in only 4 cards running for 1 week so far. But, i lost almost half a day on one of my 470 rigs yesterday... windows update (since I was wary of that intel bug and wanted to patch it). Once it finished, it took me about 4 hours to get it back up and running. Yes, partly my fault cuz i forgot i had to run the pixel patcher after re-installing new drivers, which was already after running DDU in safe mode lol. But still, just a major frustrating PITA!
