Title: ETHMiner help Post by: rocketron on March 09, 2016, 05:28:12 PM Hi everyone,
I am trying to get Ethminer to only use 3 of my gpus and leave 1 free for other tasks. I tried --opencl-device 1 2 3 and --opencl-device 1,2,3 and it will only use 1 gpu. is there a command i can use to display device id ? I cant understand what is happening here lol others say to use the commands a above to set what cards to use and it works, this is what I get if I just use the defaul -G command Found suitable OpenCL device [Tahiti] with 3221225472 bytes of GPU memory miner 17:27:25|main Getting work package... miner 17:27:25|main Grabbing DAG for #eada6656 i 17:27:26|<unknown> Loading full DAG of seedhash: #5197b2a3 miner 17:27:26|main Got work package: miner 17:27:26|main Header-hash: cc9ab3bb4c62e3c9b2b84ed4bdd58028617b9b9dc8bac54d17eb87b1910779c2 miner 17:27:26|main Seedhash: eada66563356d409600b12a514e79a41ce5763fcf7928810226e3dce57fb9668 miner 17:27:26|main Target: 0000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 i 17:27:26|gpuminer0 workLoop 0 #00000000 #eada6656 i 17:27:26|gpuminer0 Initialising miner... i 17:27:26|gpuminer1 workLoop 0 #00000000 #eada6656 i 17:27:26|gpuminer1 Initialising miner... i 17:27:26|gpuminer2 workLoop 0 #00000000 #eada6656 i 17:27:26|gpuminer2 Initialising miner... i 17:27:26|gpuminer3 workLoop 0 #00000000 #eada6656 i 17:27:26|gpuminer3 Initialising miner... miner 17:27:26|main Mining on PoWhash #cc9ab3bb : 0 H/s = 0 hashes / 0.208 s miner 17:27:27|main Got work package: Using platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing Using platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing i 17:27:27|<unknown> Full DAG loaded miner 17:27:27|main Header-hash: 116013c0b72530fca5e611e948ba41fd6c61db72537030bff386a3b154efa1df Using platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing miner 17:27:27|main Seedhash: eada66563356d409600b12a514e79a41ce5763fcf7928810226e3dce57fb9668 Using device: Hawaii(OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1912.5)) miner 17:27:27|main Target: 0000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Using device: Hawaii(OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1912.5)) Using platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing Using device: Tahiti(OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1912.5)) Using device: Hawaii(OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1912.5)) thanks Title: Re: ETHMiner help Post by: witch on March 09, 2016, 08:30:31 PM You need to use a hex editor, Copy ethminer.exe rename to ethminer2.exe (change it back after these steps) Edit with hex editor and search for "full-" and you will see something like "full-R%u-%016llx" then change "full-" to "ful2-" and save it.
Title: Re: ETHMiner help Post by: rocketron on March 09, 2016, 09:48:44 PM Thanks very much pal. I will try this later :D You need to use a hex editor, Copy ethminer.exe rename to ethminer2.exe (change it back after these steps) Edit with hex editor and search for "full-" and you will see something like "full-R%u-%016llx" then change "full-" to "ful2-" and save it. Title: Re: ETHMiner help Post by: rocketron on March 11, 2016, 05:43:10 PM hi m8,
I tried this and ethminer said it wasnt a valid application, can you screen shot yours? thanks Thanks very much pal. I will try this later :D You need to use a hex editor, Copy ethminer.exe rename to ethminer2.exe (change it back after these steps) Edit with hex editor and search for "full-" and you will see something like "full-R%u-%016llx" then change "full-" to "ful2-" and save it.

Title: Re: ETHMiner help Post by: rocketron on March 12, 2016, 09:48:55 AM Cheers for reply. I do this, but i want to leave my 1st gpu free from mining and use the other 3 for mining.
