Title: 2 x Different GPU's Post by: zo0omer on November 06, 2012, 10:21:22 AM Hi All,
I want to add a second GPU so I can mine with both cards. 1 x 5870 and 1 x 6950. Do I just run GUIMINER 2 times and select the different card on the application? Cheers, Steve. Title: Re: 2 x Different GPU's Post by: alez80 on November 06, 2012, 02:24:39 PM Hello Steve.
In the same session of GUIminer that you already use, you need only to add a new miner (like poclbcm or your favourite miner) and after you can select your shiny new card. That's it! Happy mining! :-) Title: Re: 2 x Different GPU's Post by: 2GOOD on November 06, 2012, 07:21:26 PM Or just try out cgminer, it finds all your cards and use them at once.
If you need help running it let me know ;) Title: Re: 2 x Different GPU's Post by: zo0omer on November 07, 2012, 07:11:55 AM Or just try out cgminer, it finds all your cards and use them at once.

If you need help running it let me know ;) Hi mate, Just wondering how i would enter any switches into the console for example; -f 0 -v -w 128 Cheers, Steve. cgminer.exe -o server -u username -p password -I 9 This line is the most simple as -I 9 is the priority it's something like poclbm's -f 0 so this is the way to start. As CoinHoarder mentioned u can use different settings for every card separated with commas. If you don't enter priority the default is -I d (Dynamic - good for desktop card = lower rates) Here is an realworld example of .bat script to run the miner at startup: Code: timeout /T 30 First line is timeout to wait for the system to boot up C:\bitcoin\cgminer-2.8.7-win32 - this is location of cgminer.exe The example above uses two pools: mtred and btcguild as a backup pool. |
