I have a GeForce 9600 GT and im trying to use it to mine Bitcoin Gold. My graphics card driver say’s it’s up to date as GeForce 342.01 and I have re-installed it just to be sure.
Im running windows 10, 64-bit on i3-4170 with 8GB Ram.
Downloaded the console miner it from here:
https://github.com/poolgold/ewbf-miner-btg-edition/releases/download/0.4/EWBF.Equihash.miner.v0.4-Win.zip
Installed visual studio 2019 from here:
Installed Cuda 10 Toolkit from here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64&target_version=10&target_type=exenetwork
Modified the batch file in the miner: (I did enter my pass but not shown here)
miner --algo 192_7 --server btg.pool.minergate.com --user hurt_domain@hotmail.com --pass X --port 3257
Output:

C:\Program Files\EWBF.Equihash.miner.v0.4-Win\EWBF Equihash miner v0.4>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
So the issue being “10:29:53 ERROR: CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version”
What I have tried:
At first I thought maybe I could just use a runtime version so I looked at the following link but there is nothing there.
https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia%2Fcuda
Next I looked at the following link which made me think I needed cuda 6.5 but when I tried to install it, the install failed because there is only a 32bit xp install and im running a 64bit win 10 OS.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
