edited: if i want to put the following into the config file to use with sgminer (nicehash - https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer (https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer)) ...can anyone help?
Next step for me is to try and work with config files rather than the usual command line, so i was trying to understand all the different values that need to be set for setting up my cards (i keep getting rejects on a lot of apps), and guidelines will be much appreciated:
i have an AMD Radeon™ R7 Graphics (onboard with the 6th Gen AMD PRO A8-8650B APU) http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/APU/AMD-PRO-A-Series-Processors/AMD-PRO-A-Series-A8-APU-for-Desktops/6th-Gen-AMD-PRO-A8-8650B-APU/158 (http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/APU/AMD-PRO-A-Series-Processors/AMD-PRO-A-Series-A8-APU-for-Desktops/6th-Gen-AMD-PRO-A8-8650B-APU/158) and these are the values on the page (I dont know which is relevant and which is not):
For the APU:
# OF CPU CORES 4
# OF GPU CORES 6
COMPUTE CORES 10 (4 CPU + 6 GPU)
# OF THREADS 4
BASE CLOCK SPEED 3.2 GHz
MAX TURBO CORE SPEED 3.9 GHz
MAX TEMPS 71.30° C
TDP 65 W
CTDP 45W/65W
MAX MEMORY SPEED 2,133 MHz
MEMORY INTERFACE DDR3
MEMORY CHANNELS 2
GRAPHICS MODEL AMD Radeon™ R7 Graphics
DIRECTX VERSION DirectX® 12
GRAPHICS FREQUENCY 757 MHz
GRAPHICS CORE COUNT 384
and i also have an XFX Radeon 5450 http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/all-previous-gpus/xfx-amd-5450-2gb-graphics-card-hd-545x-clh2 (http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/all-previous-gpus/xfx-amd-5450-2gb-graphics-card-hd-545x-clh2)
PROCESSOR & BUS

so, if im trying to put these two into sgminer conf file, how would i set it up? example im trying to mine on nicehash and i keep getting this:
