Title: How many cards can Claymore handle
Post by: opies32765 on July 31, 2017, 04:43:05 PM
Hi Guys

how many GPU's can claymore handle at one time with only one miner running ? Meaning only one instance ?

Thanks in advance

I do not believe there is a limit as I have seen screen shots of the program running 10-12 cards. The real limitations you will run into will be motherboard, driver, and OS related. Are you looking at the new 12 GPU board? If so I have seen Claymore running on it just fine.

Some more details about your set up and what you are looking at would be helpful if you want a more specific answer :)

With Claymore you will have difficulties running Nvidia plus AMD cards together on a single miner, however you can download 2 versions of Claymore, the CUDA version for Nvidia (which I believe you already have) and then download the Open CL AMD version when you add the AMD cards. Run the versions separately and things should be fine.

If you can't then download Nicehash, with it it is very easy to run a single instance with all kind of cards you may have. As you can see in the picture below.
