Doesn't work with older cards

I tried to mine on a tesla k80 but even tho the architecture 37 is listed on CMakeLists.txt the hashrate was wrong and never could be accepted by the pool the hashrate was something liem 133545446466446 h/s nothing realistic i used the release but i don't believe if i try to build would be differente because the architecture is listed as supported on the cmakelists, there is anyway to make it work? thanks in advance.

From my understanding, the k80 uses a kepler architecture, which is equivalent to gtx 7xx series, which have been discontinued in the latest CUDA, as mentioned in the readme:

GPUs older than 800 series (8xx) are unfortunately not supported, as Cuda 11.1 does not support these ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_700_series#Discontinued_support)

If you have some technical know how, you could likely compile the miner with an older version of cuda, and get your GPU working, but it will take some effort, handling cuda and visual studio files can be real pain if you're on windows.

I have a version complied with Cuda 10.2 for windows. Here is a link to the download. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ExDcZuGviE0U7ju3herq9jpWAiJsbQUF/view?usp=sharing
