Title: Cons of separate instance for 8 ethminer.exe on 1 PC? Post by: mensa1984 on May 02, 2018, 12:31:12 PM Hello,
I have 8 Nvidia 1060 GPUs connected to 1 Windows 10 PC (Celeron G3900, 4GB RAM, 40 GB swap on SSD). To find out max. overclocking settings for each card, I currently prefer to run a separate instance of ethminer.exe for every GPU itself. So I can see exactly which GPU failed and not the whole system stops after a failure: Code: ethminer.exe --cuda-devices 0 ... So this starts 8 windows on my PC. Do you think, that I should use that way of running ethminer only for testing? Are there any disadvantages if I start like this? Is the system or even mining slowing down cause of this? Or can I leave it like that? Title: Re: Cons of separate instance for 8 ethminer.exe on 1 PC? Post by: tg88 on May 02, 2018, 01:49:25 PM check if this does not go overload your cpu.
