Title: How many workers for 2 miners on the same machine GUIMiner Post by: ToriAmos1963 on June 12, 2011, 09:57:33 PM Hi,
I have GUIminer set up with 2 miners using OpenCL and two 9800 cards in SLI. I join the slush pool (mining.bitcoing.cz) and created a single worker to use with both miners. I didn't get an error message. Do I need to create separate workers for each miner?

Workers are primarily for tracking purposes in case you wanted to know how well each gpu/card is performing or which one is down or any other reason you can think of.
