i mine on my gaming rig when not in use...I used saved settings in Afterburner to switch from gaming performance to mining config and back. Pretty easy, though i did take my side panel off for added ventilation. Additional plus is i no longer have to pay for heating my place as my pc now does that 

No kidding, must be a small place

TO be picky, depending on the game I often mine WHILE gaming.
My current gaming system is WAY overkill for a lot of the games I like to play, but I DO have to shut down mining to play Ashes.
 
The 2 current primary Monero mining programs are XMR-STACK (which doesn't get along with Nicehash servers as of last time I checked) and Cast-XMR (which doesn't play real well with older cards but is well optimised for Vega and DOES work with Nicehash servers).
I'm not sure what Nicehash is using for it's Monero mining right now, but it's not a good choice if you are running Vega cards.
 
 Also, to get the really HIGH hashrates out of a Vega right now, you have to use the AMD "Blockchain" driver version, which flat out does not work on Windows 7 (it might work on 8, I don't run 8 on anything so no way to find out), does work on 10, and doesn't work AT ALL with Vega on LINUX at this point (it's a known issue that is supposedly being worked on by AMD, but AMD has long put LINUX support/updates on a back burner).
 
 You can get to 1200-1300 hash/s or so without the blockchain driver on a Vega, but the 1940 (appx) I see out of my Vega 56 (and the 1800-2050 other folks report, usually needing a BIOS mod for the 1950+ rates) require that driver.
 
 *SUPPOSEDLY* the "large page support" got rolled into the mainstream driver a few versions back, but the miner programs don't seem to have figured that out yet or it's not working properly with them (or they need to be updated to work with the version in the new drivers).

Is anyone able to recommend an algorithm choice on Nicehash? I’m located in the US and using a single Titan XP on Windows 10.

I’m asking while looking at the Sellers>CPU/GPU page where it asks for an algorithm and location. I’ve noticed Pascal is listed and my Titan XP is Pascal based. Should I be messing with this page or is it best to move straight into the downloadable software?

No i dont mine and i no longer [link=mailto:F@H]F@H[/link] either. now as far as crypto currency goes? no never will either, with bitcoin AMD cards had an advantage but still when you factor in how long it takes and how much power consumption to what you actually mined, and then factor in where cryptocurrency is actually accepted and how wildly value of crypto fluctuates it just isnt worth it to me.  now if i could actually mine legitimate USD tender that wasaccepted everywhere that would be a different kettle of fish LOL

I always grab my trusty pickaxe teehee. When I'm not mining in minecraft I'm mining in bitcoin land.

My card is so old I don't mine or play games, waiting to get a new one

I'm curious what the long-term effects of dual purposing a card are. I mean I have been using an older card for a while and when I used to mine on it, I didn't notice anything and still don't but not sure.
