Title: Mining ZEC and ETH on the same rig Post by: rdluffy on June 14, 2017, 01:04:49 PM Guys, is it possible to mine ZEC and ETH on the same rig, but different GPUs?
I have a rx 480 and a gtx 1060 6gb, I would like to mine eth on the rx480 and zec on 1060 Title: Re: Mining ZEC and ETH on the same rig Post by: Vann on June 14, 2017, 01:24:21 PM Yes. I'm doing the same thing. I have the AMD dual mining ETH and the GTX 1080 mining ZEC.

Good to know Can you explain how to do that? Just a small explanation Thank you!

For example, if you have four GPUs "-di 02" will enable only first and third GPUs (#0 and #2). Use "-di detect" value to detect correct GPU order for temperatures management (requires non-zero "-tt" option); note that it will not work properly if you do not want to assign all GPUs to miner (add "-gmap" option to fix it). You can also turn on/off cards in runtime with "0"..."9" keys and check current statistics with "s" key. In dual miner, disable the 1060, and in zec miner disable the 480 Title: Re: Mining ZEC and ETH on the same rig Post by: crypticj on June 14, 2017, 02:40:58 PM Mixed rigs are so complicated with drivers issues.

Personally I prefer not to mix cards. And keep each rig with the same gpu That's for simplicity! It cuts my trouble shooting down to almost "0".

I just installed the latest Nvidia drivers and the 1080 worked out of the box. Having mixed drivers on Linux is definitely an issue to get working though.

I'm using Windows 7 I have a primary rig that drove me crazy, so I think I'm able to to that, I spent 3 entire days working on this rig to run 100% (2 rx 580 + 2rx 570), and I will instal the 1060 with my second rig (rx 480 only) |
