Claymore Zcash (ZEC) AMD GPU Miner v1.0 for Windows
Claymore has released his Zcash (ZEC) AMD GPU Miner v1.0 for Windows intended for AMD OpenCL miners and even with the 2.5% dev fee that the miner has the significant improvement in the hashrate for mining Zcash makes it a must have choice for AMD Windows miners. So if you are mining Zcash (ZEC) on a Windows-based mining rig, you should definitely check the new Claymore Zcash miner like RIGHT NOW!
Linux AMD OpenCL miners are able to take advantage of a similar higher hashrate as what Claymore's Windows miner is delivering at the moment with the help of the SilentArmy V3 miner. So if you are mining on AMD under Linux, go and check this miner and see if it can improve your mining hashrate...
Nvidia CUDA miners are for the moment left with less optimized GPU miners and thus slower hashrate, so what we need next is a more optimized Nvidia CUDA miner for Zcash, especially for the latest Nvidia Pascal GPUs that are really making some nice performance in a lower power-usage package. For the moment NiceHash's nheqminer is the best choice for Nvidia CUDA miners as well as for CPU miners apparently, the AMD OpenCL that this miner offers is already outdated in terms of performance compared to the latest miners from Claymore and SilentArmy.

I have a nvidia Geforce 940mx GPU I wanted to know how I could use this to mine Zcash? I useing the NiceHash CPU miner to mine Zcash right now, I wanna see if I could get more using my GPU.
You cannot use Claymore's miner for the moment, it is only for AMD GPUs, though he might also introduce Nvidia support at a later time... for Nvidia GPUs the NiceHash miner is currently the best option.
thanks for that info @cryptos
Latest version v1.1:
– added Linux version.
– fixed issue with rejected shares after devfee mining.
– remove “-allpools 1” option if you use it and mine on miningpoolhub, suprnova, coinmine or nicehash pools.
– added “XnSub” support for Nicehash.
– fixed bugs.
If you are connected to nicehash and the following error is displayed:
Add to the config file as a line again "-allpools 1". Eventhough Claymore says there is no need for nicehash to put this line, actually it seems still needed.
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -zwal YourWallet -allpools 1

Solid post. I was about to start a similair discussion. The crypto space brings the biggest group of uneducated investors with it. This group will only grow. We really need more insights in the market and previous investment results (even though they don't deliver any guarantee for the future).
