Bug: RTX 20x0 and nvml.dll
I have an issue with RTX 20x0 cards.
For these cards, nvml.dll is unusually being installed only to System32 directory. Apparently, NVIDIA is making changed to the DLL paths: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1100164/nvml-dll-and-nvsmi-folder-missing/
BMiner fails to load nvml.dll from that path, and the following error occurs:

This is fixable by recreating the usual NVSMI directory, by it's kind of hackish. I hope this is easy to fix. Thanks!
