Title: Mining 2 Coins with 2 Different Cards
Post by: CrisCrypto on June 25, 2017, 01:40:30 PM
Hello Forum,
I got a question. I got a rig containing 6x 1070s and 1x 1080ti. So my goal is to mine eth on the 1070s and zcash on the 1080ti. Is that somehow possible ?

Never tried it myself but should be possible

for EWBF's cuda miner:

Q: How to select a GPU that will be used by a miner
A: Use option --cuda_devices 0 1 2 digits is id of the devices which will be used.


For claymore's miner:

-di    GPU indexes, default is all available GPUs. 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.

Should be possible - most miners have some sort of option to "use specific GPUs".
