Title: CGminer - No devices found
Post by: Serellyn on January 02, 2014, 07:55:32 PM
Hey guys,

So I've got this new mining rig, 2 x r9 280x cards. These are meant to mine some alt cryptocurrencies.
Anyway, fresh Windows 7 install. Installed the latest catalyst control center (13.12).

But when starting CGminer it gives me the following error:
clDevicesnum returned error: no gpus usable

Does anyone know why this is?
Using CGminer 3.7.2 with the following config file

I have tried other versions of CGminer too, that does not seem to be the case.

I've had this problem in the past too.  I had to fool around with the catalyst control center versions and cgminer versions as well.  Do you have the SDK App?  I think it might come with that catalyst control center version though, so I'm not sure.  If there was something I was going to fool around with it'd be the AMD drivers.

I was actually just posting a reply, but noticed you replied to.
I actually managed to solve the problem by altering the config file, and disable/enable one of the cards.
I'm now just using single values in the config file.

Hope this thread helps future miners a bit :) Check your config file boys!
