Title: How to disable 1 of GPUs for personal use during mining? Post by: Vanila on July 26, 2017, 08:53:02 PM ??? Hello everybody, i have a gpus mining rig on 4x Asus rog Gtx 1070 and 1 gtx 1080 Armor (MSI).
The thing is that couple hours of a day i need to use 1 of gpus to render some video, do some benchmark, play videogames ecc. Now im mining zcash with 0.3.4b miner for zec. So the question is - how can i disable 1 gpu from mining for couple hours to use it by myself and then put it back to work? (Maybe its a very stupid question but after googling it i found only some specific information about AMD cards only). Thanks everyone who can help somehow! ^_^.

Title: Re: How to disable 1 of GPUs for personal use during mining? Post by: ZenFr on July 26, 2017, 09:09:03 PM Very simple : the mining software have a specific option to design wich GPUs to use.
The only difficulty is the syntax : it an vary from one software to another : you have to learn the help command or to try some syntaxes. The Cuda option work only with nVidia GPUs and don't work with all mining softwares. Title: Re: How to disable 1 of GPUs for personal use during mining? Post by: Vanila on July 29, 2017, 03:01:05 PM I know that it is possible, but i never did it before and im not a programmer. Can somebody give me a good advice how to actually do it with using EWBF zcash cuda miner 0.3.4b?
I tried to look somewhere by myself but i cant figure out how actually do it. I apreciate every advice and help =D Title: Re: How to disable 1 of GPUs for personal use during mining? Post by: vuli on July 29, 2017, 04:31:21 PM hmm, you got an answer already. In you .bat file add --cuda_devices 0
( Space-separated list of cuda devices. Without this option all devices are used.) Title: Re: How to disable 1 of GPUs for personal use during mining?
